Khloe Kardashian Sued For Assault
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Rumors,
Reality star Khloe Kardashian is being sued for assault. Transgender woman Chantel Spears - formerly Ronald Spears - claims the reality TV star "violently" attacked her outside a Hollywood nightclub on December 5, 2009.
Papers filed by Chantal state that after the incident the victim needed medical care and suffered from "severe mental anguish" and also claimed Khloe struck her "in and about her body." No arrests were made, however, at the time of the incident.
Chantel - who is seeking unspecified damages - says the alleged assault happened after she made a comment to Khloe's husband Lamar Odom. "All I was telling Lamar Odom is maybe he is too young to get married and all of a sudden I get this big push from this girl," she told TMZ.
Although Khloe's spokesperson didn't comment, her friends insist she did nothing wrong. "This was two years ago and Khloe did nothing. This person shoved Khloe and she pushed them off. This person just wants to jump on the bandwagon," one friend said.

Naomi Campbell Thinks Cadbury is Racist
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Photos,
Move over, Disney. There’s a new mega-corporation getting sued in town. Cadbury, the second-largest confectionary in the world, made the mistake of using Naomi Campbell, indirectly, in an ad campaign. And she’s just not having it.
A new ad featuring their Dairy Milk Bliss Bar has the words “Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town” as a tagline. Cute, right? Wrong. According to Campbell, it’s racist.
“I am shocked,” the model overreacted. “It’s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people as a race. I do not find any humor in this. It’s insulting and hurtful.” She has also stated that she may be pursuing legal action against the company. Possibly she’s being a wee bit dramatic? Follow the jump to see the ad that's causing all the trouble...

Taylor Lautner Sues Trailer Company
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
There’s a new he-diva around town: Taylor Lautner is suing a trailer company for “emotional distress.”
The Twilight star planned to buy a customized 2006 Country Coach Recreational Vehicle (RV) for $300,000 to use while filming new movie Abduction but has launched legal action over his “annoyance” that the vehicle wasn’t delivered on time.

Simon Cowell Sued for $3.8 Million
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Rumors,
A former Britain’s Got Talent contestant is suing Simon Cowell and his reality show for 2.5 million pounds (or $3.8 million USD). Emma Amelia Pearl Czikai says the judges of the show are guilty of “exploitation, humiliation, degradation and barbarism.”
To be fair, she’s probably got a point. To play devil’s advocate, she probably should have expected it. Has she never watched the show before?
Her statement: “[Britain’s Got Talent] makes a select number of rich people very, very rich on the backs of the ordinary man and woman in the street through exploitation, humiliation, degradation and a re-emergence of modern-day barbarism with all its inherent cruelty.”
Pretty heavy. Will Simon Cowell be forced to pay for damages? Even so, we’re sure he can afford it.

Michael Douglas Defends Earnings From Ex-Wife
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Michael Douglas’ ex-wife has filed a lawsuit claiming she is entitled to half the money he has earned from new film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Diandra Luker received a $45 million payout from the couple’s divorce in 2000, but she now claims she is entitled to 50 percent of the earnings Michael makes from any spinoffs to his previous films. The 65-year-old actor - who has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones for 10 years - is said be furious with his former spouse’s suit.
Michael starred in the original Wall Street movie in 1987, and according to him, the new Oliver Stone movie is a “sequel”, not a “spinoff.” However, Diandra’s lawyer Nancy Chemtob told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper last week, “It’s the same character, the same title, just years later.”
Michael’s lawyer Marilyn Chinitz said, “They’re not the same thing. He doesn’t want her to be an albatross around his neck forever.” On Wednesday, Justice Cooper told the lawyers he hasn’t yet come to a conclusion regarding the case and he will not until he decides whether it should go ahead in New York or be sent back to Santa Barbara, California, where the former couple divorced.
