Hot Games Reviews Celebrity News Spot Light Breaking NewsSuddenly Moscow is must-go for stars, first Eva and Tony Parker were there for a Jacob & Co. jewelry event and now J.Lo is making the scene at the Ritz-Carlton in the Russian capital. Do we now have to call her Jenny from the Ice Block? Or maybe Jenny from the Former Soviet Bloc?
This writer wants to know just how much money he isn’t getting a piece of.
Buddy Sheffield, who claims the Disney Channel swiped his idea for a sitcom about a normal kid who moonlights as a pop star and turned it into the multimedia behemoth that is Hannah Montana, has requested that the network’s parent company turn over its financials relating to the Miley Cyrus-driven empire.
He sued ABC Cable Networks Group in August for breach of implied contract, breach of confidentiality and other unfair competition and unjust enrichment. The case was ordered to mediation in January but, apparently, no one has said the magic words yet.
Meanwhile, ABC has not been forthcoming with the documents detailing the proceeds from TV, Internet, music, film, radio, books, magazines, advertising, licensing and all other aspects that go into making the brand, according to court documents filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In turn, Sheffield’s team has been unable to obtain the info it has asked for regarding the “financial exploitation of Hannah Montana of every kind in the media,” the motion states.
Walt Disney Co.-owned ABC has denied any creativity-snatching on its part. The corporation’s counsel has tried to get the case moved into federal court but has been twice denied.
A hearing on Sheffield’s motion to peruse the contents of the Hannah Montana treasure chest is scheduled for June 19. A trial has been set for Aug 26 in case the two sides can’t settle their differences in mediation.
Ever since June 3 when John Mayer was pulled over in his rickety old Land Rover for not having a license plate, the “Wonderland” singer has been driving around town in Jennifer Aniston’s cars.
“Obviously, she trusts him,” a source tells E! “She lets him drive her car even though his car is parked at her house.”
Mayer was given what police call a “fix-it ticket,” meaning that within a certain time he has to show the California Highway Patrol he has rectified the crime we’re calling plate-gate. Until then, Mayer isn’t driving any of his four cars (a Porsche Cayenne, two Land Rovers, and a flashy GT Mustang) two of which lack license plates.
Swapping cars isn’t the only commingling going on, obviously. Despite the fact that Mayer and Aniston haven’t been dating long, they already appear to have influenced each other—or maybe even swapped personalities.
“Before, she was kind of ghost, but now she is out a lot more,” a source tells E! “With her other relationships she has been a little more secretive, but this one she is not hiding.”
As for Mayer, he has picked up a trademark Aniston trick of covering his face with a scarf in front of the paparazzi.
“Jen used to do that all the time and he never did,” a source tells E! “She is clearly influencing him and vice versa.” No biggie. We’ll start worrying about their Freaky Friday personality swap when she launches a singing career and he becomes an out-of-the-closet thespian.
