BECKHAM SUES OVER FLING CLAIMS

Wednesday, September 22, 2010
David Beckham is planning to take legal action against InTouch magazine who have printed a story claiming he had a fling with a prostitute in 2007.

The LA Galaxy player, who has been married to former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham for ten years, has had his private life made public, after a former prostitute has come forward claiming she had a fling with him.However, a representative for the Beckham's was quick to deny the allegations, releasing a statement a short while ago.

They said: "(These rumours) are completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication. Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it.

"We are taking legal action against the magazine."

L.A TRIUMP SUIES MADONNA

Saturday, August 21, 2010
Los Angeles - A California clothing company is suing Madonna over her new "Material Girl" fashion line for teenagers, saying it has used that name since 1997.

L.A. Triumph sued the pop superstar in the California Central District court on Thursday, just two weeks after the Madonna line went on sale in Macy's.

The company contends it has been "continually selling similar clothes in similar retail outlets at similar price points under their Material Girl brand since at least 1997, and Madonna and her newfound company do not have the right to trade in the same space under this brand."Madonna teamed up with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes to design the 1980s-inspired clothing line, which borrows from the pop star's punk-girl style when she rose to fame and earned the moniker based on her song, "Material Girl."

"Gossip Girl" star Taylor Momsen is the face of the brand.

L.A. Triumph wants the judge to rule that Madonna's use of "Material Girl" creates "deception" in the marketplace. It is also asking for Madonna and her company to turn over all the profits from their line.

Macy's declined comment on the suit. Madonna's spokeswoman could not immediately be reached.

PARIS HILTON SUED FOR WEARING OTHER'S GUY HAIR

Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Paris Hilton is caught in a hairy situation.

The scenester has been sued for breach of contract by a hair extension maker she used to represent, who claims that she violated their deal by wearing a competitor's product while out and about in 2008.

And, considering she's photographed if she ventures 2 feet beyond her driveway, apparently someone caught her on film that night.

Hairtech International is seeking $35 million in damages for fraud and deceit, unjust enrichment and breach of contract, among other things.Not because that's what the company was paying Hilton, mind you, but because Hairtech views her traitorous accessorizing as being directly destructive to its Hilton-spotlighting marketing campaign, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Hilton was paid $3.5 million to show off Dream Catcher Hair Extensions while partying, the complaint states.

Read the lawsuit


Per the suit, the plaintiff also believes Hilton lost them $6.6 million in costs, revenue and brand-building by failing to appear at a launch party for the extension line in June 2007.

When she was in jail paying 23 days of penance for DUI.

Hairstyle International claims that missed appearance, as well as a missed commercial shoot, was due to Hilton's "physical inability" to be present "as a result of chemical abuse and due to the fact that her hair was facetted with competitors' hair extensions," which wouldn't have been compatible with their products.

Yeah, but it was probably mostly due to the fact that she was in jail.

Hilton's reps haven't yet responded to the suit. Her dad, Rick Hilton, is also named as a defendant, as is Paris Hilton Enterprises.
