Jennifer Lopez’s Lawyers Demand Return Of Sex Tape

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 8th, 2011

A ‘sex’ tape of Jennifer Lopez and ex-husband Ojani Noa has been stolen, and Lopez’s lawyers are demanding the return of it, reports CTV.

Lopez is claiming that Ojani’s manager, Ed Meyer, has taken it without her permission. Her lawyer, Cris Armenta, sent a letter to him demanding he appear in court Wednesday to return the footage.

“Claudia Vazquez will bring an ex parte application for relief, or whatever is proper, against you for removing home video data drive from Claudia Vazquez’s home,” the letter reads.

“You were on notice of the order and using false pretences, you removed the drive from her house. You have been asked to return it by Claudia Vazquez, myself, and law enforcement authorities. Bring the drive with you to court. We intend to ask the Court to order you to hand the drive to Jennifer Lopez’s attorney’s immediately.”

Meyer has confirmed that he has the tape, and plans to take it to court. Lopez recently won an injunction against the sale of the video.

“I’ll be in court this morning with the data drive… I’m going to ask that a retired judge be appointed by the court to keep the videos instead of Jay Lavely, Jennifer’s attorney,” said Meyer.

Meyer claims there are “about 15-20 minutes of total nudity between all the different clips among the 27 hours of footage” between Noa and Lopez.

Yikes, for Lopez’s sake, I hope she gets it back and burries it far, far away. Why do celebrities insist on making these tapes? They always get out. Always.

Ke$ha Sues ‘Wimo Labs’ For Copyright Infringement

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 10th, 2011

Ke$ha is suing Wimo Labs company for copyright infringement, reports Perez Hilton.

The singer’s lawyers are going after the makers of a rubber watch strap for the iPod Nano called “TikTok” because it apparently ‘infringes on her rights.’

If Ke$ha’s team gets their way, Wimo Labs will have to turn over their entire supply of straps.

Property expert David Leichtman doesn’t believe this will happen, though. “She’ll have to show consumer studies to show people are making an association between her and the product,” he says.

Yeah, somehow, we don’t see Ke$ha sitting down with her lawyers discussing consumer studies. Jumping on the table and making it rain glitter, maybe. But not this.

At worse, I think the company will just change the name of their product. They are kind of stupid for naming it that, I mean, I could have told them this would end up in a lawsuit. Maybe I should go into marketing.

Oksana Grigorieva: Extortionist or Not?

Posted by Jacob Morris on October 8th, 2010

According to TMZ, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is getting some extra help from law professors and lawyers in order to essentially make an official call on if Oksana Grigorieva tried to extort Mel Gibson with the recordings or not.

Oksana’s story is that she only used the recordings as part of the negotiation, with no intent to blackmail Gibson in order to get some cash.  The other side of the story is that Oksana tried to use the tapes to, well, clean out Gibson’s bank account.

In order to determine once and for all if Oksana should be charged with extortion, the Sheriff’s Department investigation is calling in help to make sure they have it right.  They are currently processing the evidence involved, like Oksana’s iPhone, and are about two weeks away from officially turning the case over to the L.A. County District Attorney.

What do you think?  Is Oksana an extortionist, or is she telling the truth?

Mel Gibson Keeps Child Support Tight

Posted by Jacob Morris on August 20th, 2010

The Mel Gibson vs. Oksana Grigorieva scandal gets better and better every week, so get out the popcorn!  Usually when relationships and careers are crumbling, it isn’t nice to sit back and watch, but when it’s Mel and Oksana, it’s hard to look away.

The latest from the trenches courtroom is about Gibson’s child support payments.

RadarOnline reports that Gibson’s camp claims that his cash is limited to about $600,000 a month and only believes that Oksana should be receiving $6,000—exactly 1% of what he has—in support payments for taking care of their 9-month-old daughter Lucia.

Now, either Mel has a handful of other baby momma’s to support or it seems as though he’s trying to cut Oksana short, very short.

Oksana believes she should be receiving more, but unfortunately for her, Mel thinks that his $7.2 million a year is a necessity that he just can’t live without; he also claims that Oksana has some unnecessary expenses, like her bodyguards.  A note to Oksan:  Definitely hang on to the bodyguards.

Both teams seem to be pretty set in their ways right now, so it might be a good time for a bathroom break before you come back to the entertainment!

Oksana Grigorieva Takes on Debt to Take Down Mel Gibson

Posted by Jacob Morris on July 31st, 2010

Going after Mel Gibson is apparently becoming quite expensive for Oksana Grigorieva, reports TMZ.  It’s being reported that Oksana has taken out a loan to pay the price tag that comes with her lawyers.

Sources close to Oksana say that apart from the loan her credit cards have also been maxed out in order to cover the costs to fight Gibson’s legal team, which includes a whopping three law firms.  Gibson also isn’t giving her any more than he has to—only paying $5,000 a month for child support.

Unless she’s got some more tapes to extort some cash out of Gibson, it’s hard to say how Oksana is going to pay her bills after all is said and done!

Travolta Extortion Case Twists and Turns

Posted by Emma Renda on October 6th, 2009

John TravoltaAs if the Travolta courtcase wasn’t cinematic enough already, his lawyer has adopted some choice moves from the movies to help move the trial along.

According to TMZ, the defense attorney tried to claim Travolta’s lawyer Michael McDermott was the one behind the extortion plot to which – and this is when it gets good – McDermott responded, “You can’t handle the truth! You can’t handle the truth!”

The line is straight out of A Few Good Men starring Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, and the defense lawyer didn’t miss the reference.

The lawyer for the alleged extortionists replied, “You’ve watched ‘A Few Good Men,’ huh?”

Pam Anderson Denies Debt Rumours

Posted by Vanessa Baker on September 28th, 2009

Paemla AndersonFormer Baywatchstar Pamela Anderson is denying reports that she has gone bankrupt, reports TMZ. An article, which Anderson claims is false, says she is allegedly in debt to the tune of some $1.2 million.

“It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home,” she said. ”This is because after paying millions of dollars to build the house, I continue to get bills from the contractors. My lawyers are reviewing the work done to see if the bills are fair. If they are, they’ll be paid. If they aren’t, they won’t be. Mistakes have been made in calculating taxes owed and we are now in the process of ensuring that any taxes owed are paid.”

Britney Misses Another Deposition, Loses Lawyers

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 3rd, 2008

It looks like 2008 is going to be another rough year for Britney Spears. TMZ.com reports that Spears’ lawyers have quit because she repeatedly refused to heed their advice and is destroying her own case.

Trope and Trope, a powerful legal firm, have been fighting Britney’s uphill custody battle for her against Kevin Federline. That is, until they filed to withdraw as her representation yesterday, saying that “There has been a breakdown in communications between [Britney] and Trope and Trope making further representation of her interests impossible.” This came just hours after Spears missed her fifth scheduled deposition.

Spears’ lawyer Laura Wasser also quit on her last year. It is not known whether Spears has been able to lawyer up again or not.
