Vet Sues Mariah Carey For Unpaid Bills
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Mariah Carey is being sued by her vet.
The singer - who is married to rapper-and-presenter Nick Cannon - reportedly owes just under $30,000 in unpaid bills for Dr. Cindy Bressler’s services for her pets. The veterinarian filed claims in a New York court yesterday, alleging the pop star has paid just $8,200 towards the $37,800 worth of charges for “extraordinary services” given to her three dogs, JJ, Cha Cha and Dolomite in one month. The filing states Cindy tended to the pets “at the special instance and request” of Mariah between October 31 and December 2, 2009.
“She rendered veterinary services including extraordinary services to the defendant’s canines. Dr. Bressler performed work, labor and services on the defendant’s canines… at the agreed price and reasonable value of $37,790.32, which sum Mariah agreed to pay.”
If Cindy’s claim is successful, Mariah will also have to pay her legal costs making the final total sum higher. Cindy’s attorney told gossip website TMZ the vet was in charge of feeding and grooming the pooches while Mariah was away in Los Angeles.
A spokesperson for 41-year-old Mariah said her legal team were not aware of the lawsuit.

Gene Simmons Accused of Sexual Assault
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues,
Rock-turned-reality star Gene Simmons has been accused of sexual assault and sexual battery.
Make-up artist Victoria Jackson has filed a lawsuit against the KISS singer - whose real name is Gene Klein - alleging he approached her when she was working at Los Angeles’ ESPN Sports Center last November and said in “a lecherous and inappropriate manner, ‘I like you.’”
According to the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Victoria was “surprised by the overtly sexual attention.” She accuses the 60-year-old rocker of grabbing and hugging her, to which she responded: “Ouch. You are hurting me.” She then tried to back out of his way because “his spiked chest was jabbing her in the face.”
Gene refused to let go of the make-up artist, instead “he pulled her even closer, tightly, pinning her arms and said, ‘No not yet.’” He is then accused of “humping her to the extent she could feel his groin grinding into her.” Gene then allegedly said, “Aw, That’s better! Now you can go.”
According to RadarOnline.com, Victoria - who described the rocker’s behavior as “vile and inexcusable” - is seeking over $500,000 in damages. She claims she has suffered humiliation, shame, embarrassment, anger, anxiety, loss of sleep and depression. However, the Crazy Crazy Nights star has filed a suit against Victoria claiming she wanted money and no assault occurred.
Nicollette Sheridan Files Lawsuit Against Former ABC Bosses
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Was Nicollette Sheridan really assaulted by her former Desperate Housewives boss…or is she simply desperate for attention?
In a new lawsuit filed Monday, the former ABC actress claims a September 2008 incident between herself and writer Marc Cherry was the reason she was let go from the hit show.
According to the papers, Nicollette was pulled aside and struck in her head and face after she “questioned Cherry about something that was in the script.” Although she supposedly reported the incident to ABC, she was later written out of the program.

Nicolas Cage Countersued By Business Manager
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Movie star Nicolas Cage recently admitted to having some serious financial troubles, suing his business manager because of his missing funds. But the manager - Samuel Levin, CPA - has filed a countersuit against the actor.
Levin said that Cage “had already squandered tens of millions of dollars,” when he was hired, and that the National Treasure star owed “millions” in “income taxes, with no funds available to pay the tax debt.”
The countersuit claims that Levin told Cage he needed to make at least $30 million per year to continue living in his usual manner. Levin says that in 2007 alone, the actor purchased three homes for the sum of $33 million and twenty-two cars (nine of which were made by Rolls Royce), among other extravagant purchases.

Jon Gosselin Wants Out of His TLC Contract
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
This probably isn’t the first time someone tried to cite a case of stupidity as a legal defense. Jon Gosselin, calling himself “an unsophisticated father of eight,” says he was in no position to sign a contract with TLC. He had no lawyer or manager to guide him, you see, so he can hardly be held accountable for putting his own legal name on legal paperwork.
Gosselin said the deal was bad from the start (so why did he continue for so many seasons…?), they only pulled down $2,000 per episode. He even attacked the cable network on another front, saying that TLC violated child labor laws. TLC denies these claims and states that Gosselin did have a lawyer at the contract meetings.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Legal Issues, Photos, Rumors,
Much like Woody Allen’s legal battle with American Apparel over the usage of an Annie Hall image, everyone’s favorite reality star heiress Paris Hilton is now finding herself in a similar battle after a New Zealand billboard firm slapped her face on one of their spaces.
On top of using her image without acquiring approval, the Media5 ad has “Vacant” written in large letters across the photo of her partying.
“Paris has a proven ability to laugh at herself. We assume that the agency has taken care of the rights to the image of Paris, but we will ask the question. We’re not trying to offend anyone,” spokesperson for Media 5, Adam McGregor, said.

She also once said that Jackson communicated to her through his music. Let’s count the minutes until this suit gets thrown out of court.

Someone Else Sues Michael Jackson
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
Michael Jackson has even more legal trouble dead than alive - and that’s really saying something.
It all began when Julien’s Auction House put around 170 items up on the block, a Michael Jackson collection that was bid upon by one Richard Lapointe. The auction, however, was canceled. As a result, Lapointe is suing the Jackson estate and the auction house.
The suit contends that Lapointe was the only bidder on 82 items in the collection, and further mentions that he might have been the highest bidder on 88 more items. Since Julien’s sent confirmation of Lapointe’s bid on these items, he thinks he’s entitled to some money.

Michael Jackson Being Posthumously Sued
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Erie Bonnie is suing Michael Jackson’s estate for a “herpes cure, acne cures and arthritis cures” which Bonnie allegedly invented.
In addition to the theft allegations, Erie also claims that “someone from the Jackson family came by my house and shot a 22 pistol in the air. They turned around in a neighbor’s driveway and drove away.”
Sounds quite…unbelievable.
At any rate, the King of Pop’s estate is being sued for nine copyrights, and even an idea for an automobile insurance policy.
So, wait a minute…there’s a cure for herpes?
