We've often thought about suing the studio behind Lord Of The Rings, but that's mainly because Return Of The King was so turgid that it was all we could do not to try and suffocate ourselves in the middle of the second act.

However, a group of JRR Tolkien heirs called the Tolkien Trust has decided to sue the Lord Of The Rings studio for a slightly more pressing matter - it's claiming that New Line owes it $150 million in unpaid royalties.

Of course, $150 million is a lot of money, and if New Line is forced to pay it to the Tolkien Trust, one of its upcoming films might gave to be cancelled. So, if it's the sequel to The Golden Compass, everybody wins.

You should never rip off one of Jay Leno's jokes - mainly because it's bound to be so unfunny that you'll lose your job, be dumped by your girlfriend and end up dying alone on the streets.

But also there's a chance that Jay Leno will sue you and win. And that's what's just happened. Jay Leno has just won a lawsuit against Judy Brown, who published compendiums containing jokes stolen from his routines.

And as a result Judy Brown will have to publish something less funny instead, like... nope, there isn't any less funny than one of Jay Leno's jokes. 

Just because Jerry Seinfeld has enough money to make a film about funny insects, it doesn't mean he can escape healthy eaters.

A food writer who claims that Seinfeld's wife ripped off her idea for a healthy cookbook has now decided to sue Jerry Seinfeld himself. Why? Because on TV he happened to make the innocent assumption that the writer in question was probably a murderer. Absurd, of course - we all know that people who eat healthily don't possess the physical strength to even pick up a gun, let alone fire it without the recoil dislocating their entire skeletons.

If Pierce Brosnan ever punched you in the chest, chances are you'd feel a small amount of emotional pain - as you would if you were beaten up by any old man who looks like he smells of treated leather and Old Spice.

But enough emotional pain to sue Pierce Brosnan? Photographer Robert Rosen seems to think so. Following a bewilderingly petty shoving match in a Los Angeles car park in October that variously included a rib-punch, a stomach-kick and the immortal line "Why don't you get a real fucking job?" Robert Rosen is now suing Pierce Brosnan for 'severe physical and emotional pain and injuries'. Needless to say, there'd have been a lot less emotional pain if Robert Rosen was beaten up in a car park by Daniel Craig, but Pierce Brosnan? Christ, that's so 1998.

The Borat movie came out so long ago that the only people left to logically get annoyed about it are people who share buses with year-late schoolkids who insist on shouting nothing but "Wow wow wee wah" every single effing day.

But that isn't the case at all - there are still some unwitting stars of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan who have only just got round to suing the makers of the movie for the way they were led to appear in it. The latest Borat-suer is driving instructor Michael Psenicska, who is seeking unspecified damages from producers. It's an important lawsuit, too, because it means that almost everyone who appeared in the Borat movie has now tried to sue - and it'll be a clean sweep once we've convinced those two Jewish cockroaches from the guest house scene that they were unfairly represented.

It is so hard to make our hair look this good. But with the help of LA Looks extra smooth hair sculpting gel, we always seem to make it happen.

Of course, we don't even start our hair until we've had a nutritious breakfast consisting exclusively of Hillshire Farms crispy bacon, Thomas' golden brown english muffins and a tongue-tattoo Fruit Roll up (which has 6 essential vitamins & minerals). Yes, we certainly eat all that food every single day, and we shutter to think of our lives without such outstanding name brands.

Now moving on to today's topic, Teri Hatcher endorses some products too. She gets paid millions of dollars to say she uses such and such, but the trick is her paycheck apparently depends on her actually using those products. Hydroderm, for instance, wanted to be the only goo Hatcher ever injected into her lips. Then when they weren't looking she went and used Crisco or something, which is funny because Crisco isn't actually a lip filler - it has far too many other delicious uses!
