Insert Blonde Joke Here.
2008-10-09 09:00:00
A Bridgeport, Connecticut woman, sued L’Oreal Inc. claiming the blonde hair dye she had purchased was instead brown, causing her platinum locks to be dyed brunette. This, of course, left the bimbo, Ms. Charlotte Feeney, so “traumatized” that it caused her to need anti-depressants. Yes, really. Not only that, she claims she was so distraught that she suffered ...

Since I first met Evan Wolfson, now of Freedom (sic) to Marry at the 1995 Log Cabin Convention in Cincinnati, I have faulted him for pursuing marriage through the courts.

Still No USOC Lawsuits Over Seattle-Area Use of OLYMPIC as Trademark
2008-06-09 05:10:00
Not to tempt fate, but I couldn’t help but notice that the U.S. Olympic Committee has not flooded the Western District of Washington with lawsuits over Seattle-area companies’ use of OLYMPIC in their names and trademarks. (See STL posts on this issue from August 12, 2007; Jan. 10, 2008; Jan. 13, 2008; and Jan. 28, 2008). In fact, the USOC has not filed a single lawsuit in the Western District despite hundreds of Washington businesses making use of the word that has caused the USOC to send letters to some demanding that they cease and desist such use. Its heavy-handed demand letters notwithstanding, the USOC seems to have a lighter touch when it comes to filing suit. Knock on wood.

R.Kelly will go to jail..... it seems:
2008-05-30 22:04:00
It would take someone 44 years ? working nonstop, 24/7, 365 days a year ? to be able to fake the sex tape at the heart of R. Kelly's child-pornography trial, a forensic video analyst testified Thursday (May 29). "It's simply not possible. It's not possible to fabricate these images without detection, and there is no doctoring in any part. We don't have the technology yet to fabricate the errors and the facial features and the motion and the light in this way, not like this." Even more damaging to the defense was when the analyst took images of the man on the tape and the room featured on the tape and matched them to Kelly and his former home. And that ain't all, last week defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. made a big deal about a mole on R kelly's back saying it was not visible on the man in the video. So when the analyst showed how a spot on the male's back was in fact visible in a half-second's worth of footage once the tape was slowed down, the proverbial shit hit the fan. "It...

The R.Kelly Trial: Sparkle takes the stand:
2008-05-23 20:30:00
After watching the sex tape on opening day, the defense is sticking to their story that that is not R. Kelly on the sex tape and the woman shown is not the niece of R&B singer Sparkle who would have been around 13 or 14 at the time the tape was made. Although the girl is denying it was her as well, four key witnesses have identified her as the victim in the sex tape including her best friend at the time and Sparkle, who got into a spat with the defense attorney yesterday: Check out the play by play below:The loud bickering began when Genson asked if someone could have doctored the illicit video to make it appear as if Kelly were paying a young girl to perform various sex acts. Edwards, who wore cosmetic glitter under her left eye to provide her trademark ?sparkle,? gave a snide smile.?I know my family,? she said. ?I know them. Trust me.??And so you know and believe your [relative] took money from Robert Kelly and then had sex with him, which is on that tape?? Genson asked. ?That...
How did DMX get out of paying that money up?
2008-05-23 19:57:00
The lawyer for the lady served DMX with papers, but they didn?t know that DMX and his wife are actually separated and they no longer live together. Well, the lawyer served the papers to the wrong house and DMX never really knew that he even was served. So, because he was improperly served, DMX gets off! So, separating from his wife has inadvertently saved DMX a bunch of money.

The actual sex tape [which will be shown in the court room]. R. Kelly's defense? It wasn't me.?Robert Kelly is not on that tape,? Adam told jurors. ?I stand before you on May 20, 2008, to tell you [the alleged victim] is not on that tape.?Adam said that Kelly, 41, has a mole in the middle of his lower back, and that the mole will prove it?s not the singer who appears on the video. The lawyer told jurors that, when the video is shown, it will become clear the man on the tape had no such mole. He said the FBI could not identify the man on the tape as Kelly. [SOURCE]

Over @ SR.com:There was a freak show in a Chicago courtroom today courtesy of the U.S. prosecutor?s office. In the opening statements of R.

A new witness has emerged in R Kelly?s child pornography case:A woman is set to testify at R. Kelly?s upcoming child pornography trial that she had a three-way sexual encounter with Kelly and the allegedly underage girl shown in the video at the heart of the case. The 41-year-old R&B superstar is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl estimated to be 13 or 14. He has pleaded not guilty. Jury selection is set to begin Friday. As part of the case, prosecutors claim to have identified the girl in the videotape. This alleged victim is now in her 20s.

In addition, the witness is expected to say the girl was underage at the time of their encounter.?She was involved in a threesome with [the gir...

District Court Judge JOHN D. GABRIEL of BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS, granted a temporary restraining order against the banks and CLEAR CHANNEL.
