Scott Disick is suing Mercedes-Benz.
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star has filed a lawsuit against the auto company, alleging it sold him a "virtually useless" 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG because the vehicle is constantly breaking down.
In legal documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, the 30-year-old failed restaurateur said that the car, which costs $190,000 new, is unreliable and has spent more time in a repair shop in Los Angeles than on the road. Scott is accusing Mercedes-Benz of failing to make the car roadworthy after numerous attempts and is seeking a full refund plus expenses.
News of the lawsuit comes after a difficult few months for Scott, whose father, Jeffrey Disick, died in early January, less than three months after his mother, Bonnie, passed away from cirrhosis of the liver. "[Scott is] very, very sad. The whole family is trying to comfort him. Everyone's upset. To lose both parents so close together, it doesn't seem fair," a source close to the star said.

Kim Kardashian Slams Former Stepmother
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Rivalries,
Kim Kardashian has branded her former stepmother a "slippery snake."
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, her siblings and mother Kris Jenner have filed a lawsuit against Ellen Pearson - the former wife of her late father Robert Kardashian - claiming she sold personal property, including family photos, to a publication in January 2013 and in her deposition, Kim admitted she "disliked" her.
When asked her opinion of Ellen - who married Robert six weeks before he died in 2003 - Kim said, "She is a slippery snake... I dislike her. I think that she -- I don't agree with her decisions as of late. And I didn't agree with her decisions when she wouldn't give us back property or ever since she married my father, I haven't agreed with her decisions. I feel like there was an agenda there -- but I don't think about Ellen. I don't spend my time worrying about her, because I try to be a positive person. Everyone is pushed to a limit, and no matter how positive you are, you can look at someone and say, wow, they are a slippery snake, they make awful decisions that are hurtful."

Lady Gaga’s Ex Threatens to Sue Over Her Book

A new book on Lady Gaga's early days is ruffling her ex's feathers.
Gaga's longtime friend Brendan Jay Sullivan penned Rivington Was Ours, a book detailing her time on New York's Lower East Side before she made it big. Lady Gaga's ex Luc Carl believes that he has been painted as a villain in the memoir, threatening to sue Sullivan and his publisher, HarperCollins.
Sullivan, a DJ, claims in the book that Carl - a heavy-metal drummer and radio personality - was "inattentive and possessive" boyfriend who controlled many aspects of Gaga's life and career. At one point, Gaga told Sullivan that Carl had told her, "I hope you fail," which likely just fueled the Mother Monster in her efforts.
Last year when questioned about his relationship with Gaga, Carl said, "I was f - - king miserable, and it wasn’t her fault." Perhaps he's suing so that he can publish his own side of the story?

Paris Hilton's brother is reportedly planning to sue Lindsay Lohan.
The hotel heiress' younger sibling, Barron, has vowed to take the 27-year-old actress to court after she allegedly ordered for him to be beaten up by Ray Lemoine at a party on Star Island in Miami on Friday night for "talking sh*t" about her boyfriend.
According to TMZ, sources revealed that Paris met with a lawyer on Saturday afternoon before introducing him to Barron and getting the lawsuit up and running. However, sources have since claimed the attack was nothing to do with Lindsay and it was merely a party that got out of hand after Barron, 24, refused to leave the property.
Although in an interview with police, Barron - who posted a picture of his injured face on Instagram three hours after the incident - said Lindsay - who famously fell out with his sister Paris in 2006 - was laughing as Ray hit him.

Frank Ocean's cousin is suing Chris Brown for more than $3 million.
The "Pyramids" hitmaker's relative, Sha'Keir Duarte, who filed a lawsuit in August against the "Fine China" singer claiming Chris' bodyguard violently beat him up when the two singers and their entourages got into an heated confrontation outside Westlake Recording Studio in Los Angeles in January, says he suffered a huge amount of physical and emotional pain as a result of the confrontation.
Sha'Keir has submitted an itemized list of what he is seeking damages for in new court documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, that includes $1 million for pain, suffering and inconvenience, and $1 million for emotional distress. He is also seeking $1 million for punitive damages and an additional $60,000 for medical expenses.
Chris, who is currently undergoing a court ordered 90-day stint at a live-in rehabilitation centre to focus on his anger issues, filed documents to counter-sue last month, in which the star, 24, claimed that Sha'Keir provoked the fight by threatening to kill him.

Lindsay Lohan is allegedly planning to sue the makers of Grand Theft Auto V.
The 27-year-old actress has reportedly instructed her lawyers to start drawing up a lawsuit against video game producers, Rockstar Games, as she claims they created a character that looks and acts like her without her permission. The video game cover features a blonde woman holding a phone, who is later chased by paparazzi, and Lindsay claims she was the inspiration. Another sequence sees the character in a building that is believed to represent the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles, where Lindsay once lived and often partied at in the past.
Lindsay's legal representatives reportedly believe she could be awarded a large amount of compensation from the manufacturer, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
It was previously reported that the character was based on model Shelby Welinder, who previously told Nowgamer that she was hired by the video game producer through her agency to model for the advertisement last year. The character has also been compared to models Kate Upton and Candice Swanepoel in the past.
Neighbors Sue Ashley Greene

Ashley Greene is being sued by her neighbors following a fire at her home.
The Twilight Saga actress - whose apartment in West Hollywood's Granville Towers went up in flames due to an unattended candle in March - is being sued by four other residents of the building, who claim the blaze has turned the historic building into a "disruptive construction zone."
And the plaintiffs - Timothy Long, a producer of The Simpsons, John Luciano, doorman Adrian Mayorga, and interior designer Anna Lobell - have slammed the 26-year-old star as being a bad neighbor who has never apologized for the fire and refused to co-operate with the investigation. "Living next to Ashley was pure hell. It was like living next to Studio 54, with people coming and going at all hours of the night. We would have had more peace and quiet living next to Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller," Mr. Luciano told the New York Post newspaper.
The group are seeking unspecified damages in their lawsuit, with their lawyer Keith Davidson saying, "My clients have been through hell."

Brittany Murphy’s Cause of Death in Question
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Obituaries, Rumors,
Brittany Murphy's cause of death has come into question after new toxicology results allegedly suggest she may have been poisoned.
The 8 Mile actress was found dead at home in 2009 and the Los Angeles Coroner ruled her death was accidental, caused by pneumonia and "iron deficiency anemia." Five months later, the 32-year-old star's husband Simon Monjack, 40, also died of pneumonia and anemia.
Brittany's father Angelo Bertolotti wasn't convinced by the coroner's findings and The Huffington Post claims he ordered a new toxicology report after sending samples of his daughter's hair for independent analysis. Results supposedly showed the presence of 10 heavy metals above the "high" level set by the World Health Organization. The types of metals are commonly found in rat poison, pesticides and insecticides.
Angelo reportedly tried to sue the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Coroner's Office, accusing them of "failure to conduct toxicology tests" on specimens of hair and his daughter's death was "incorrectly determined to have been allegedly caused by pneumonia and anemia."

Katherine Jackson Files Appeal

Michael Jackson's mother has appealed the verdict of her $40 billion wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live.
Katherine Jackson filed new court documents in Los Angeles yesterday morning in a bid to have the jury's decision - which ruled the concert promoter was not responsible for the King of Pop's death in 2009 and was not wrong for hiring Dr. Conrad Murray to be the late singer's medical practitioner - overturned, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
It was previously revealed that the 83-year-old Jackson family matriarch was still hopeful after hearing comments made the jury following the conclusion of the five-month trial last month and her lawyer Brian Panish confirmed they were gathering information for an appeal. "She isn't throwing in the towel. We can't give up until we gather all the information. Today is another chapter," he said.
The jury decided on October 2 that AEG Live, the promoter of Michael's This Is It comeback concerts, hired Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in November 2011, but were not liable for the disgraced physician's actions that led to the "Thriller" hitmaker's death in 2009 because he was neither "unfit" nor "incompetent" when they hired him.
