Tila Tequila filed a suit against Sean Merriman over the alleged assault that was reported back in September.

The reality star of A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila, real name Tila Nguyen, has not stopped tweeting about the case pretty much since it happened.

Although the San Diego Chargers linebacker wasn’t charged with a crime at the time, Tequila is now seeking damages for assault, battery, false imprisonment, and emotional distress. Her lawyer, Cyrus Nownejad, is citing photos of alleged bruises up the star’s arms and the effing enormous height/ weight disparity. Tila Tequila is 4′11″, 93 lbs., while Shawne Merriman is 6′4″, 280 lbs..

Tequila claims the assault happened as she tried to leave her ex, Merriman’s, home. However, San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis dismissed the accusations. Her office spent three days reviewing reports from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, and determined there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed.

Extortion suspect in the Cindy Crawford case, Edis Kayalar, has surrendered to authorities in Germany.

Late last week it was reported that a man by the name of Edis Kayalar was alleged to have tried to extort $100,000 from former supermodel Cindy Crawford. The German model/ criminal was said to have acquired a photo from Crawford and her husband’s former nanny. The  photo showed their seven-year-old daughter bound and gagged during a game of cops and robbers.

According to an FBI affidavit, the couple first heard from the slime-bag back in July. He embellished the content of the photo, saying it showed the child in provocative clothing and that he wanted to meet. He detailed that he’d stolen the photo from the fired nanny, who had advised him it was worth a lot of money. The nanny has not been named in the suit, nor spanked for their idiocy, but we can only hope as it seems they are as culpable as Kayalar.

To try to put the extortion to rest husband Rande Gerber offered $1,000, when the model admitted he was broke and was up to his broke ass in bills. He was then dumb enough to call back, wanting money for a copy of the photo. Crawford and Gerber then sent the popo and the FBI after him. Here’s hoping the book is thrown at him for exploiting a small child in this way.

Shayne Lamas of Leave it to Lamas has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, as she proudly announced to the media.

Shayne Lamas wants some extra viewers for her family’s reality show, Leave it to Lamas. These people were a little too excited when the family’s ex-step mommy or whomever, Shauna Sand, had a sex tape to be release which would also have garnered the show and it’s so-called stars a little further attention.

Worried perhaps that no one would otherwise be interested, Lamas sent a statement to E! declaring she had been busted on a DUI charge, just after 1 a.m. Saturday in Venice, Calif.. Perhaps we’ll get a reenactment of the arrest as we did on Keeping Up With the Kardashians when Khloe Kardashian was arrested for the same. We can only hope, then perhaps someone would actually be watching.

Six unremarkable photos of the unremarkable Lamas family can be seen below.

Jon Gosselin says he is too famous for a real job in papers relating to TLC’s breach of contract lawsuit.

Jon Gosselin is being sued by TLC in a breach of contract lawsuit and I’m glad. Every minute he occupies his time with that, he is not available for his douche duties. In court papers relating to the case, Gosselin says due to his quasi-fame he is unable to seek a non-entertainment related form of employment.

In other words, being on one moderately-successful show means he’s above working a 9-5 along with the little people. Nowhere does it mention his ignorant attitude or receding hairline as reasons for his failure to return to a regular life.

In an affidavit filed as part of the lawsuit [...], Jon states, “Now, I find myself unemployed and without the ability to secure non-entertainment related engagements because the enormous media interest, cameras, reporters and public interest makes it impossible to carry on normal daily activities, let alone find, secure and maintain a job with an employer who is willing to be exposed to the daily media intrusions that has impeded by life.” (via Radar Online)

Cindy Crawford was the victim of an extortion plot.

The mother and former supermodel and had a criminal try to sell a photo of her daughter, taken without her knowledge. The photo wasn’t anything gruesome as such, but a picture of Crawford and husband Rande Gerber’s 7-year-old little girl tied to a chair bound and gagged. The picture had been taken by a former nanny without the couple’s knowledge, as part of a game of cops and robbers.

The former nanny took the pictures as a prank and but then a friend, German model Edis Kayalar, obtained them and threatened to sell them to the media.

Initially Gerber paid $1,000 for what he thought was the only copy. Then the alleged extortionist came back saying he had a copy and demanded $100,000. The couple went to the police who then rightly turned the case over to the FBI.

Below is the a mugshot photo of Edis Kayalar, Crawford’s alleged extortionist.

Dina has been looking into her legal options and worst case scenario, depending on how you look at it, Michael could end up doing time for violating the order.

Brandi Cibrian, estranged wife of Eddie Cibrian and runner up to LeAnn Rimes, wants spousal support.

Brandi Cibrian has hardly been quiet since the marriage between herself and Eddie Cibrian ended. As if it weren’t bad enough that he ran screaming and grabbed LeAnn Rimes on the way out, he took his wallet with him too. The actor is accused of not giving his former mate enough to live comfortably on and take care of their two young children, since they split in August after eight years of marriage. She states in legal documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court that he currently makes $60,000 a week on his show but only pays her utilities.

She has her priorities in order and doesn’t want any old crap from her husband. Not content with getting the couple’s joint supply of Jelly Babies, she is also asking for $39,963 a month in spousal support so she can pay for things like the kids’ schooling, the car, medical bills and pilates. Yes, you heard me, pilates.

Keith Lewis, Executive Director of Miss California USA and Miss California Teen USA, has lashed out in response to Carrie Prejean’s Larry King interview.

Keith Lewis, Executive Director of Miss California USA, has issued a statement concerning Carrie Prejean’s face palm-worthy Larry King Live interview.

Lewis became so frustrated with Prejean’s interactions with the media and alleged lie-telling that he essentially resorted calling her names. This is the second time his reps have contacted this site about Prejean in a week. The only thing left to do now is actually start hair-pulling or eye-gouging.

Official Statement from Keith Lewis, Executive Director, Miss California USA® in response to Carrie Prejean on Larry King: “The public is finally getting a glimpse of the real Carrie Prejean who lives in her own delusional world. The childish behavior, her negative attitude, the sarcasm and condescending tone, the disrespect and continual lying she is demonstrating now is only a fraction of what we endured during her reign and after. Anyone who buys her book is supporting a woman who is actually the opposite of everything she claims to be. I sincerely hope she is able to get the psychological help I believe she has shown to clearly need.” (via a statement emailed to the site moments ago.)

Carrie Prejean was on Larry King Live last night and threatened to walk out over the line of questioning.

Carrie Prejean could be facing another lawsuit from Miss California USA after what can only be defined as ass-clownery of the highest degree. The 22-year-old needs either a pimp-slap or some damn media training. She only ever seems to dig herself into holes, when she is allowed to roam on live TV without a leash.

Someone somewhere thought it was a good idea to expose Prejean to an interviewer who actually knew what the heck he was doing, Larry King. The TV veteran did little more than his job and had the nerve to ask Prejean about her biblically correct settlement which was prompted by her even more correct sex tape. The longest word in her vocabulary seems to be inappropriate. So that was the word she used towards him and his callers, for a good portion of the disaster of an interview, before she removed her mic and threatened to walk off set.

Longer Larry King Carrie Prejean interview footage can be found at CNN.
