You know what we like? Stories where every single party involved ends up looking like the worst kind of twat. So you can imagine our delight when we heard that the woman who accused Lindsay Lohan of stealing her fur coat has now made things official and has hit Lindsay with an actual lawsuit even though the coat was returned to her some months ago. We know we don't live in New York, but can anyone swing it for us to be the judge for this one? And while you're at it, can you can also change the law so that we're allowed to find both Lindsay Lohan and this Masha Markova woman guilty of being needless spaz-wipes and punish them by throwing them and their stupid coat into an active volcano forever while we dance around it wearing ghoulish animal masks? It'd mean a lot, thanks.
Time was when Hulk Hogan's worst enemy was Ric Flair, but he's coming to realise that some things in life are worse than whooping pensioners with freakish spiderweb hair.
Like his family, for instance. Not only is Hulk Hogan being divorced by his wife, but now he's also been sued by the friend of Hulk Hogan's son Nick who was critically injured when Nick crashed his car into a tree last year.
According to the lawsuit, Hulk Hogan is culpable for damages because he allowed Nick to drive even though he knew what a dangerous driver he was. If Hulk Hogan loses this lawsuit, he could stand to lose millions of dollars from it - an amount he could quite easily make back by agreeing to appear in another reality TV show. Something called Hogan Doesn't Know Best or Hogan's A Legally Irresponsible Parent or something.
The life of a fashion model is one filled with the finest linens, using three spoons per meal and luxury supersonic jets whisking them away to the closest reaches of outer space.
Campbell's not the only fashion model sometimes mistaken for hurricane Katrina - the up and comers on America's Next Top Model are apparently destructive too. That's precisely why their landlord is currently suing them.
Sometimes you just have to take responsibility for your actions.
Had a little bit too much to drink and made a fool of yourself? Call up your friends and say sorry. Bumped into a parked car and left a dent? Stick a note under the window wiper with a set of contact details and your humblest apologies. It just makes the world a nicer place, people.
Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Some of you may have done things so hideous over the course of your lives that you'll never, ever, ever tell another soul for as long as you remain on this planet. For example - if you were responsible for launching the career of singer-songwriter James Blunt, we really wouldn't hold it against you if you kept that revelation on the quiet side. In fact, if you ever want a place to hide out, we've got a lovely basement you could use. Provided you don't mind sharing it with K.T Tunstall's agent, that is.
Ex-4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry holds no such fear, however. She'll scream from the rooftops that she set James Blunt on the path to superstardom. In fact, she's no angry with not being credited for helping out the Maestro Of Mediocrity that she's suing Warner Music for millions of dollars.
Think you know Jay-Z? Well, you don’t, so think again. Unless you already think that he is partially to blame for the enslavement of thousands of Africans in pre-1807 Britain, in which case you don’t need to think again, because you’re absolutely right, according to Brooklyn Activist Clive Campbell and Da Black Defense League.
They have filed a $5 billion dollar lawsuit against Jay-Z, along with Barclay’s Bank and Forest City Ratner, a real estate developer, because they have:
“…profited from the African Slave Trade and continue to profit from these gains, through a conspiracy dating back hundreds of years and continue to date to oppress Black people, enslave them, unlawfully deport them to all corners of the Earth."
The bastard! Stop it, Jay-Z! Stop oppressing black people! What’s the matter with you? You’re black as well, you maniac! What kind of masochistic act is this? Behave yourself; it’s bang out of order.
Despite what you probably think, Will Smith isn't a Nazi. And he certainly doesn't have an Adolf Hitler poster on his bedroom wall that he strokes before he goes to sleep.
That's a stone cold fact. Will Smith legally doesn't have an embarrassing schoolboy infatuation with Adolf Hitler, and if you say he does he'll sue you. And win.
Will Smith has won damages after a news agency ran an article called Smith: Hitler Was A Good Person last year. Great news - by suing, Will Smith has not only fixed a weird misapprehension about his beliefs, but he's also effectively ruled out the rumoured Will Smith Adolf Hitler biopic. Thank god - we're pretty sure the world can live without a rap-lite movie theme-tune containing the phrase 'Indomitable Fuhrer' repeated several times in the chorus.
Did you wake up this morning feeling hurt? If you did then you’re probably fat. Hey, don’t throw that half-eaten Twinkie at us – those things hurt when they’re stale - it’s Jessica Simpson that’s to blame. She’s hurting fat people everywhere. Millions of them, in fact. At least, that’s what the company that is suing her over an unreleased fitness video is saying. The good news for hurt fat people is that you can stop blaming your slow metabolism, glandular problem, or your genetics and start blaming Jessica Simpson.
Try it. We like it.
You know how in the end of The Passion Of The Christ, Jesus resurrected and ascended into heaven? Well that was Benedict Fitzgerald's brilliant plot-twist idea - and now Mel Gibson won't even pay him for it.
A seasoned vet like Gibson should know you can't burn bridges like that - what'll happen in Lethal Weapon 5 when Martin Riggs is in a bad spot, and Gibson needs a writer to think of a way out - like turning water into wine to distract his enemies. Or maybe multiplying fish to help a young blind boy learn math, and then he finds out the blind boy is his enemy's only son. Or maybe Riggs could learn that before birth he'd been genetically altered to fly by Germans.
We work cheap, Mr. Gibson.
Anyhow, writer Fitzgerald feels like he needs a bigger cut of the Jesus proceeds, and he's suing Gibson to get it. After all, he sat side by side with Mel for months on end imagining the story up and then telling it to people for the first time ever.
