If you’ve been keeping up with Jersey Shore, you know that Angelina is pretty crazy. Sure, the show’s portrayal of her could be attributed to the editing and the context things are shown in, but now there’s proof that Angelina is actually short-tempered and not afraid to get into a fight.
According to PerezHilton.com, while she was riding in a limo with her mother, Annmarie, Angelina grew increasingly irritated as their driver hit on her mom. Again, if you’ve ever seen the show, you know that when Angelina gets mad, she just snaps.
Things heated up, with swearing and yelling involved, so the limo driver pulled over, apparently giving Angelina the opportunity to strike. She allegedly struck the driver in the head and then repeatedly hit him.
Angelina’s mother confirmed the story, saying, “After Angelina fought with the guy he called his brother who immediately arrived on the scene, and then threatened to get more people to come and fight us. It was scary because it was 3:00am and we were in a bad neighborhood.”
It’s pretty clear what went down, so it’s only a matter of time before a lawsuit is slapped on the Jersey Shore guidette.
Lady Gaga made a fortune last year, somewhere in the neighborhood of $62 Million. Now everyone is looking to cash in on the cash cow.
Lady Gaga’s former producer and boyfriend Rob Fusari recently settled a $30 Million lawsuit with the superstar. However singer songwriter Wendy Starland claims she introduced Fusari to Gaga, and wants her cut according to Forbes.
Starland filed suit on Friday in Newark Federal Court claiming that in 2005, Fusari asked her to find a “unique female singer, under the age of 25, who could be the female equivalent of the lead singer of the band The Strokes.” Starland says Fusari promised her that “if she could find and introduce him to such a singer, they would work together to develop the singer and share equally in any revenues earned as a result.”
Starland further claims she was cut out of the deal once Gaga got signed, and now is looking for her share. There is no comment yet from Fusari.
Just when it looks like “American Idol” reject Ian Benardo finally has come to his senses, he screws it all up. The “singer” initially filed a lawsuit against the show for $300 Million, but now was withdrawn the lawsuit and filed another one for $100 Million.
TMZ reports Benardo refiled the lawsuit for workplace discrimination and sexual harassment. Originally he filed the suit with the NY State Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but was later told the lawsuit didn’t qualify.
So what’s the reason for the lawsuit? Benardo claims “Idol” producers exploited his sexual orientation and told him to “gay it up.”
Maybe that’s the reason, or perhaps its just sour grapes? Or maybe he is just trying to hold on to his fifteen minutes of fame? Either way, watch the video below of his audition. What do you think?
Ke$ha’s former management company is claiming she owes them millions of dollars from her hit album. Ke$ha has fired back saying she doesn’t owe a dime because she fired the company in 2008.

A source close to Ke$ha says this event is “a sad cynical attempt by a manager trying to profit off his former client’s recent successes.”
Joe Jackson is going after more than just Dr. Conrad Murray in his wrongful death lawsuit, which TMZ obtained a copy of.
The lawsuit reads that, “Mr. Jackson believes there are other parties responsible for Michael Jackson’s death but has not yet gathered sufficient information regarding their potential liability or responsibility.”
TMZ reports that the lawsuit also names Murray’s Houston clinic, Acres Home Heart & Vascular Associates, and his Las Vegas clinic, GCA Holdings. The suit reads, “Defendants conduct of attempting to conceal the multi-state supply of drugs and the use of their facilities in Texas and Nevada to obtain medications was an extreme departure from the standard of care.”
Joe Jackson also alleges that Dr. Murray withheld vital information that could have saved the king of pop, not letting EMTs know about the Propofol that he had given to Michael Jackson.
The lawsuit, which will be filed in a federal court on Friday, also states that Dr. Murray attempted to “clean-up the scene.”
This all comes on the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death.
David Carradine’s widow has filed a lawsuit against the production company that produced, Stretch, one of her late husband’s final films, reports TMZ.
Even though the actor’s death seemed to be an accident, Anne Carradine thinks otherwise. She is suing the production company for alleged breach of contract and wrongful death.
According to the suit obtained by TMZ, David was scheduled to have dinner with the director of Stretch. The assistant assigned to David left for the meal without the star, even after calling him and not receiving an answer.

The actor was found dead in his hotel room the next morning.
The lawsuit claims that had the production company been caring for David Carradine as his contract stated they would, he would not have died.
Conan O’Brien explained on his recent “60 Minutes” interview that his relationship with NBC became “toxic.” If there was any doubt of that before, it is definite now.
TMZ is reporting that NBC execs claim Conan was lying during the interview with Steve Kroft and misrepresented the facts. During the interview Conan explained that it was much cheaper to fire him than Jay Leno, however NBC assures the cost would have been about the same.
Another issue during the interview was whether NBC was losing money with O’Brien as the host.
Kroft: “They said that the — for the first time in history, ‘The Tonight Show’ was losing money.”
Conan: “I don’t see how that’s, I honestly don’t see how that’s possible. It’s really not possible. It isn’t possible.”
NBC execs explain that the show would have lost $5 Million in the first year if Conan remained as a host.
So the controversy continues. Isn’t fun watching rich guys fight?
There is a lesson here – never be too quick and jump to a judgement. Recent allegations have surfaced accusing Steven Seagal of a bunch of sex related crimes. However the woman making these accusations has somewhat of a checkered past.
“The lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen against Steven Seagal is a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired for using illegal narcotics,” Marty Singer, told CBS’ Crimesider.
If that wasn’t enough, Seagal’s lawyer wrote Nguyen’s lawyer a letter explaining that the lawsuit violates the terms of confidentiality when she was hired, reports E!.
And yet here’s another issue facing Nguyen’s credibility. CBS highlights a video of Nguyen saying,” I can use my sex appeal to get any girl that I want and to trick any guy into getting what I want” on ‘The Tyra Banks Show’ in January 2009.
Steven probably should talk to his law buddies about sex crimes.
Steven Seagal has been accused of engaging women in the sex trade, TMZ.com reports.
A 23-year-old former model claims in a lawsuit obtained by TMZ that she had an interview with Seagal last February for an executive assistant position. When Kayden Nguyen got the job, she says she showed up for work and learned, “Mr. Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian ‘Attendants’ on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Nguyen claims in her lawsuit that one of the ‘Attendants’ had recently quit and that it was this position, not the executive assistant job, that Seagal intended her to take on.
Nguyen alleges that on her very first night on the job, Seagal treated her “as his sex toy.”
Actor Nicollette Sheridan, known for her role on “Desperate Housewives,” is suing the show’s creator, Marc Cherry.
According to TMZ, Sheridan is claiming that Cherry struck her across the head and face on set of the show, after she complained about him firing her. She is suing for assault and battery, gender violence and wrongful termination. She wants over $20 million.
In the lawsuit, Sheridan says that Cherry had created an unfriendly workplace from the beginning, “behaving in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner toward the individuals who work on the show.”
On September 24, 2008, Cherry allegedly physically assaulted Sheridan after she asked him about something in the script. According to the suit, “Cherry took her aside and forcefully hit her with his hand across her face and head.” The lawsuit then goes on to say that after the supposed incident, Cherry went to Sheridan’s trailer to “beg forgiveness.”

Fusari filed a $30 million lawsuit against Gaga, claiming that he is owed royalties and merchandising fees after he allegedly created the name “Lady Gaga” and co-wrote four tracks that appeared on The Fame, including the smash-hit “Paparazzi.” Fusari blamed the pop princess for breaching their 2006 contract.
As if Lady Gaga doesn’t have enough going on – she now has to worry about being slapped with a massive $30 million lawsuit by producer and ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari, reports rollingstone.com. Fusari co-wrote Gaga’s hit song “Paparazzi,” claims he discovered the rising star in 2006 and created the legendary name “Lady Gaga”.
Fusari seeks a 20 per cent cut from Gaga’s companies Team Love and Mermaid Music. New York Daily News reports that he signed a contract with the 23-year-old star that promised him part of her merchandising and revenue. The producer, who previously was on songs like “Wild Wild West” with Will Smith and Destiny’s Child “Bootylicious,” also claims that he wasn’t given the correct amount of royalty fees.
“It’s an age-old story in the music business,” said Fusari’s lawyer Robert Meloni. “You become famous and you turn on the person who discovered you.”

Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband, Ojani Noa, is countersuing the singer for $100 million, reports Perez Hilton. He is also suing her father, a business partner, her lawyer and the law firm for intentionally interfering with the production of his mockumentary.
“We are also suing for fraud,” said his agent, Ed Meyer. He says Lopez’s mother “previously sold some of Ojani Noa’s home video footage to Univision without Ojani Noa’s express permission for $30,000.”
A hearing is planned for Tuesday, but Meyer is doubtful it will go ahead.
“We believe that J. Lo.’s attorney did not meet the judge’s extended deadline to file his Proofs of Service, so TRO and OSC (Order to Show Cause) should legally not go forward on Tuesday,” he said.
