GABRIEL AUBRY AGREES TO ANGER MANAGEMENT

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry met for hours Friday with representatives from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services ... and social workers concluded Gabriel needed to work on his anger issues ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told DCFS recommended that Gabriel take anger management classes and our sources say he agreed to enroll. 

As one law enforcement source told us who is connected to the case, "Gabriel has a little bit of a temper, but the good news is that he realizes it."

The recommendation stems from an incident earlier this month in which Gabriel allegedly pushed the nanny while she was holding Nahla.  Our sources say Gabriel told social workers he never touched the nanny and she was making the story up to curry favor with Halle.

Our sources say DCFS is not making any recommendations on changing the custody arrangement.

 That will be left to the judge on Monday morning ... when Halle and Gabriel square off
again in court.

As we first reported ... there's also a criminal investigation focusing on child endangerment and battery.  Our law enforcement sources tell us they are confident Gabriel will NOT be prosecuted because it's a "he said she said" case. We're told the matter will be referred to the L.A. City Attorney next week but it's expected the Office will decline to prosecute.

'ABBA' BACK AFTER 18 YEAR HIATUS!

Swedish pop group, ABBA have hinted at a comeback with a recent announcement of the reissuing of their final album, ‘The Visitors’, on April 23, 2012.

The group comprising Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, were one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of pop music, with world-wide smash hits from 1974 to 1982.

‘From a Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel’, a demo recorded around the time ‘The Visitors’ was released in 1981, will be the first new ABBA recording released since the box set ‘Thank You for the Music’ was issued in 1994.

The group, who made their last known public performance on the BBC’s ‘Late, Late Breakfast Show’ in December 1982, are now set to thrill its fans with the new version of ‘The Visitors’ which will also include six previously released bonus tracks and a DVD featuring rare and unreleased footage from their archives.

There is simply no motivation to re-group. Money is not a factor and we would like people to remember us as we were; young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition’, Ulvaeus stated in 2008.
