Submitted by Julie on July 5, 2008 - 6:05pm.
Eminem punched guy two years ago in a strip club, and now the guy is decided to sue him for $25,000. Miad Jarbou of Royal Oak filed the lawsuit on Thursday in Oakland County Circuit court. In the suit he claims that Eminem punched him on July 13, 2006 at Cheetah’s On the Strip Gentlemen’s Club.
Dennis Dennehy, Eminem's spokesman, declined to comment on the lawsuit Friday.
The incident reportedly happened after Jarbou and a friend approached Eminem for an authograph in the club's bathroom. Eminem was at the urinal, and his bodyguard turned them away. According to Jarbou, he was trying to explain to the bodyguard that he wanted to meet Eminem when the rapper turned around a punched him.
In the lawsuit, Jarbou is claiming that he's suffered from emotional distress, physical pain and suffering, embarrassment, humiliation, ongoing serious injuries requiring medical treatment, wage loss, the burden of medical expenses, and other economic and non-economic damages. Wait - all that and he's only asking for $25,000?
The strip club is located on the infamous Eight Mile Road, which serves as a border between Detroit and its northern suburbs. Eminem was not charged following the reports of an incident at the club.
Spitzer's Ex Call Girl Drops Lawsuit Against Girls Gone Wild
Submitted by Julie on July 4, 2008 - 6:51pm.
Ashley Dupre, the young woman involved in a salacious scandal that saw the demise of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, has dropped a lawsuit filed against "Girls Gone Wild" and its founder, Joe Francis. In the $10 million federal lawsuit Dupre claimed that Francis exploited her image and name on the internet. Dupre has since voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
Dupre said that she was just 17 when she signed a contract giving permission to appear in the Girls Gone Wild videos. In the lawsuit she says she was on Spring Break in Miami Beach in 2003, when she was approached by Girls Gone Wild crew, who gave her alcoholic drinks and a release form to sign.
According to Joe Francis, Dupre was on the Girls Gone Wild bus for a week, and made seven full-length videos. After Dupre filed the lawsuit, Francis released a video which showed Durpe giving her name as Amber Arpaio. When questioned whether she was 18 and if footage shot could be used on Girls Gone Wild, "Amber" answered yes. Furthermore, she showed a New Jersey driver's license with the name Amber Arpaio on it, as well as a birthdate that would give the impression she was in her 20s.
Nicole Riche Pregnant Again?
Submitted by Julie on July 4, 2008 - 6:30pm. According to Star Magazine, Nicole Richie may be pregnant again. Other sources have also recently claimed that she is trying to get pregnant, and that she and Joel want to give their firstborn, Harlow, a sibling.
A source told the magazine, “Nicole is dying to have a sibling for Harlow who is close in age. She doesn’t want them to be more than two years apart, so that they can be best friends forever.”
The rumors kicked off recently when she was spotted wearing a "maternity style" lilac top. An observer said, “The top was not something Nicole usually wears. She ordinarily goes for tight T-shirts and vest tops. The other unusual thing was that she was wearing comfy sheepskin boots and not her usual heels - the boots definitely looked like something a pregnant woman would wear."
At this point, it's all pure speculation.
Michael Lohan Will Sell Results of Paternity Test & First Photos with Daughter
Submitted by Julie on July 3, 2008 - 4:06pm.
The Lohan family has never been one to shy away from the spotlight or resit the temptation to whore themselves out to the media. Michael Lohan, father of actress Lindsay Lohan, is no exception. After it was revealed last week that Michael Lohan had fathered a secret love child while separated from Dina Lohan (who he later divorced), he is now planning to sell the results of his paternity test to a major tabloid.
If he turns out to not to be the father, it will cost them $10,000. If he's the father, the price doubles to $20,000. On top of that, if he is the father he will sell the exclusive rights to the photos of his first meeting with the young girl.
A woman claims that Michael is the father because she was having an affair with him around the time the girl was conceived, and that paternity tests have ruled out her ex-husband.
Amy Winehouse is on Lockdown... By Her Record Label!
Submitted by Julie on July 3, 2008 - 3:55pm. Now Magazine is reporting that Amy Winehouse's record label has begun taking proactive measures to keep her away from any junkies that could lead her back down the path of temptation and self-destruction. They've reportedly put her on house arrest, and have even hired security to keep the undesirables out.
A source told the magazine, "Effectively, Amy's been put under house arrest. She's being monitored 24/7 to make sure she's behaving herself and keeping out of harm's way. There's also a security guard stationed outside her house to vet any undesirables. From now on there'll be no more waifs and strays - or fans - coming into her place wreaking havoc."
Recent comments she made during an interview for Rolling Stone magazine are said to have concerned music bosses. In the interivew, Amy said that she feels that treatment has never worked.
‘I've never been to rehab - I mean, done it properly,’ she says. ‘I'm young and I'm in love and I get my nuts off sometimes. But it's never been like: "Amy, get your life together." To be honest, my husband's away, I'm bored, I'm young. I felt like there was nothing to live for. It's just been a low ebb," she told Rolling Stone.
Jacobs, Ratners Get Reductions on 20-Year Loans Made by City at Zero Interest Rate
Submitted by Roldo Bartimole on July 2, 2008 - 12:00am.Cleveland’s rush to get cash from downtown developers who received UDAGs – essentially free money - nearly 20 years ago could cost the city $750,000 to $1 million a year on each of three major gift-loans to wealthy developers.
In all, the city will receive $14.4 million less on $36.7 million worth of loans that would be repaid now rather than in 2010 and 2012. The lesser repayment relates to the discount developers will get for paying sooner than the due dates.
The tragedy lies in the likelihood that the funds will be quickly re-loaned to other downtown developers in much the same manner – no payments for years and no or little interest on the loans. Would that people facing foreclosures on their homes could get such generous terms.
Council members believed that they had a deal that each ward would get $100,000 from the payback kitty. Unfortunately, this is a drop in the bucket and there was talk last week that Mayor Frank Jackson may renege on those prior commitments.
The UDAGs (urban development action grants) were given usually as 20-year loans. The money came from federal funds given to cities based on their concentration of blight. Unfortunately, the money was used, not to fight blight in neighborhoods, but mostly for new downtown office developments.
