Remember that whole Yoko Ono suit with John getting in a little puff-puff?
Well - I can’t believe it, but Yoko won the court case.
She is now able to stop it. I think this is wrong since she doesn’t actually have the rights to the footage. but hey, what do I know?
Ono insists she […]

Which in the HR world is a REALLY big nono.
The damages their seeking […]

Virgie Arthur, mother of Anna Nicole Smith, has sued against some bloggers from Texas, as well as TMZ for spreading gossip.  She says that the gossip is not true - and thus ruined her reputation.  She’s also claiming (and this I find fascinating) that that, in part, is why she lost her rights to […]

Yoko Ono is suing over some more John Lennon stuff.
Not exactly a surprise.  At least I don’t think so.
There’s some footage with Lennon smoking some weed, and writing music and talking about Nixon and LSD.  But she doesn’t want it going public, so she’s suing.
It gets better, though.
Yoko’s ex, Anthony […]
