CSI Creator’s Estranged Wife Is NOT Happy She Isn’t Getting Paid

Published on February 7, 2012 By

You'll get nothing and like it! That's how Jennifer Zulker claims she's being treated like!

The estranged wife of CSI creator Anthony Zulker claims that she doesn't receive any spousal or child's support from Anthony.

Jennifer is demanding her future ex to pay $1 million to her lawyers and accountants and an additional $54K a MONTH for support.

She claims she spends nearly triple that (mostly on herself) already. Jennifer also claims that Anthony makes $1.6 million a year on the CSI franchise alone, with $25K per episode as well as getting paid for other projects.

However, her court docs admit that the children spend 40% of their time with their dad.

Sources also say that it's actually more than that too.

Sounds like another gold digger trying to steal some cash.

Drake DENIES Any Wrong Doing In Marvin’s Room Lawsuit!

Published on February 4, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Looks like he's not taking this lightly!

Drake is NOT happy about the lawsuit being filed against him by Ericka Lee over claims that she was not compensated for co-writing and providing vocals on the track Marvin's Room from new album Take Care - especially the part where she says he told her that he had "people" to take care of "issues like her" - and the rapper has responded, and is calling bullshit!

His rep says:

"This claim is entirely without merit and our client has not engaged in any wrongful conduct. Drake tried for months to resolve the matter amicably, and he now looks forward to being vindicated in court."

Furthermore, other sources close to him are asserting that he is adamant that he and this chick never even had a relationship!

Hmm...it's sounding more and more to us like this is some disgruntled groupie trying to get her fifteen minutes!

But who knows what will come from the lawsuit?

What do U think actually went down??

Newt Gingrich SUED For Assault And Battery!

Published on February 4, 2012 By

Exactly what we like to hear our potential presidential nominees involved in!

Edward Dillard, a man from Florida, has filed a lawsuit against Newt Gingrich and his security team after they apparently roughed him up outside the Florida Republican Presidential Primary on January 31st - for supporting Ron Paul!

According to the legal documents, Gingrich and his wife, Callista, approached him outside the polling place and shook his hand, but when he noticed Dillard wearing a shirt expressing his support for Paul, the nominee "immediately turned his back" and went to greet other people. His security team then apparently approached him and tried to "intimidate him into moving from the spot."

When that didn't work, he asserts that one of the agents "lifted his heeled shoe over Dillard's right foot and dug the back of it into his skin, twisting it side-to-side like he was stomping out a cigarette, causing a fracture to Dillard's right foot," and then shouted to other members of the team, "Everyone step on his toes!"

What on EARTH?! What is this, a group of schoolyard bullies running a political campaign?!

If true, this is absolutely DESPICABLE - and shameful!

Drake’s Ex-Girlfriend Wants Credit For Writing His Hit Marvin’s Room

Published on February 4, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Give credit where credit is due, but if there is any truth behind a lawsuit against Drake, the rapper doesn't really like to do that.

A woman named Ericka Lee dated the hitmaker from 2010-2011 and says she helped him write his hit single Marvin's Room. She was reportedly offered $50,000 by Drake "to go away and not file a lawsuit against him," instead of given a credit as a co-writer.

Well, now she's suing for that credit, along with unspecified damages, attorney's fees and punitive damages after alleging in court documents:

"They traded poems, song lyrics and discussed untertaking creative projects together. Lee candidly shared her life story and creative ideas with Drake and trusted him as a confidant, lover and friend."

To make her case, she's even got text messages from the music star which appear to recognize she had a part in writing the song, reading things like, "U basically made that song," and "it's s**t without you."

So far the song sold over half a million downloads, while accumulating 38 million views on YouTube.

What's the deal, Drake? Did you screw this young lady over or is she just pissed that you dumped her?

Sister Sledge Hammers Warner Music With Lawsuit

Published on February 4, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Sister Sledge's hay day was back before digital downloading became an issue.

But due to some clever wordplay and maneuvering by Warner Music, they may have been gipped for MILLIONS of dollars!

The sister act and songwriter Ronee Blakely have banded together with a 35 page class action lawsuit against Warner Music.

Warner Music classifies digital downloads as sales rather than licenses. Sales offer far less royalties and less restriction so one can see why the company do so.

But the sisters are not having it!

Other artists are expected to come forward with the lawsuit. Newer artists cannot as their contracts explain the difference before they choose to sign them.

If Sister Sledge and other artists win this case, then the payout will be colassal.

Reports state that hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars are at stake.

We do not want to be in any of Warner's big wigs' shoes right now!

Uh Oh! Cheryl Cole Suing Over MC Harvey Relationship Claims!

Published on February 4, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Do NOT publicly say you dated Cheryl Cole and think you're getting away with it, MC Harvey!! She is not a happy camper right now!! Not at all!!

MC Harvey went to a tabloid and told them he and Chezza got real intimate in the past. But as soon as she heard the news, she flipped!!

She tweeted:

Was this relationship in your head @HarveyOfficial?! Are you smoking something? I think I've met you once maybe twice at public events and With your wife!!

And now she's suing the publication, but they're not going down without a fight! A spokeswoman for the magazine says:

We completely and wholeheartedly stand by our exclusive and refute any accusation that it contains untruths. Michael Harvey himself released a statement earlier this week standing by what he revealed in his interview in Now magazine. The article is not defamatory and was published in good faith - we will strongly defend it.

And THEN Harvey's rep released a statement too:

Since the comments were published, Michael has felt that Miss Cole should not have publicly accused him or the magazine of publishing untruths, and in fact should have let this all blow over.

Khloe Kardashian Fights Assault Claims In Lawsuit!

Published on February 3, 2012 By

Khloé Kardashian is fighting back!

A transgender woman named Chantal Spears filed a lawsuit against the reality star in December which claimed that she was "assaulted and battered" by her outside the Playhouse club in Hollywood back in 2009, and now, Miss Khloé is claiming it was simply acting in self-defense!

According to the newly-filed documents, Kardashian claims that it was Spears that "instigated the acts about which she complains," and that the "alleged conduct was reasonably necessary for her self-defense and safety."

Sounds reasonable enough!

This is certainly a case where we'll let the judge figure out all the he says, she says!

Robert Rodriguez Is Being Sued For Machete!

Published on February 2, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

There is one pissed off actress/writer out there!! Let's just hope she doesn't take a page out of her own (alleged) story, because the gurl knows revenge!! Ha!

Yvonne Delarosa has filed a lawsuit against Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis over their movie Machete, which, if you haven't seen it, is about a man out for revenge that uses a machete. Not exactly shakespeare, but hey, it got the job done.

Either way, she's claiming Maniquis solicited her for ideas in 2005 for a movie -- in which a man goes on a killing spree with a machete!

Then they didn't pay her, and in 2010 they used a bunch of her ideas. She was under the assumption she'd be paid.

Now she's suing for breach of contract. The question is -- was there a contract?? Is she claiming it was verbal??

Like it or not, or if she's right or wrong, these kinds of cases are EXTREMELY hard to prove. Which is why if you're a writer, you should be registering everything you write!

We wonder if she has a case. Guess we'll find out!

No Tiger Blood For Newt! Gingrich Sued For Illegally Using Eye Of The Tiger

Published on January 30, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Sorry, Newt. There are not enough tigers for you to use illegally.

Rude Music Inc. is slapping Newt Gingrich with a lawsuit for pirating Eye of the Tiger.

The company claims that the politician has been using the song as various events since 2009.

Naughty, naughty Newt!

According to the docs, Newt used the song at the Conservative Political Action Conference from 2009 to 2011 and used it at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in 2010.

Wonder what this does for his political funds and campaign.
