The jewelry company that knows the way to a woman’s…heart is being sued by one of it’s models. The 37 year old model featured in the ad receives a diamond pendant and fakes an orgasm for the commercial. The tagline, “Jewelry works every time” following her performance. No one is reading Macbeth or doing long division. It is pretty obvious that sex appeal is the weaponry of the advertisement.
The unnamed model is now suing for the company for tarnishing her name and likeness. She claims the jeweler paid her just $200 for her time and sent her on her way. Her lawsuit is demanding $5 million for using the commercial showing her without her consent. She further claims that she was tricked into doing the ad and was unaware how sexual it was. Court papers site the ad as “a decidedly pornographic look, feel and sound.”
This bitch is riding on the fact that perhaps the company forgot to have her sign a release form. This isn’t the first orgasm commercial. Kylie Minogue did one for Agent Provocateur. It was banned after complaints of its sexual nature.
Seriously…have these people ever seen Nip/Tuck? That is way more pornographic.

Sir Paul McCartney has undergone heart surgery, it has been revealed.
The 65-year-old musician has been mired in a bitter divorce battle with Heather Mills for the past 18 months.
He complained of feeling unwell in the autumn after a series of stressful rows with Ms Mills, 39, over arrangements for their four-year-old daughter Beatrice and the former model’s public tirades against him.
Sir Paul had a coronary angioplasty - a procedure that helps unclog arteries - after seeing a Harley Street specialist at the London Clinic, according to reports.
The former Beatle recovered from the surgery quickly because he took regular exercise and had a trim physique, a friend said, adding: “He has always been in exceptional health, which is remarkable when you think of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle he once had.”
Sir Paul was well enough to perform a duet with Kylie Minogue in front of millions of viewers at New Year. The pair sang his hit Dance Tonight during Jools Holland’s New Year special on BBC2.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “I’m surprised Heather didn’t burst into the operating room to steal his nuts.”
TMZ says, “It can’t help to be stuck in an ugly divorce battle.”
A slew of lawsuits involving a celebrity have surfaced this week. Our justice system will be working overtime as the complaints of the high powered suing or being sued.
Dennis Quaid Suing Heparin Makers
After he and his wife Kimberly Buffington welcomed their newborn twins to the world the were overdosed with a blood thinner. Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone were almost killed by a lethal amount of Heparin being administered. The babies were given adult sized doses from a 10,000 unit vial two times before they started to bleed out. They were originally set to receive just 10 units. A technician at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles put the wrong vials in the storage cabinet used for infants.
Three other infants were killed from the same overdose in Indiana this year. Six other babies and two adult patients were also overdosed since 2001. The makers of Heparin, Baxter Healthcare issued a warning memo nearly a year ago of the overdosing. Cedars-Sinai had gotten the memo.
So why is Dennis suing Baxter Healthcare instead of the hospital? The suit sites poor labeling and failing to recall the drug despite the deaths. The couple is seeking $50,000 is damages. That is a modest sum being that their children almost died.
Us Weekly is feeling the wrath of Scarlett Johansson. The magazine ran a celebrity plastic surgery based issue. It contained side by side photo comparisons and a headline reading, “A-List Nip/Tuck. Did they or didn’t they? The best before and after photos that prove not all stars were born beautiful.” The cover featured Scarlett Johansson and insinuated that she had a nose job.
After seeing the copy of Us Magazine Johansson and her attorney issued statements calling their accusations of surgery defamatory and outrageous. She assured the press that she “will be taking legal action.” No word on what grounds she will be suing or for how much, but I foresee a settlement out of court.
Teri Hatcher and Hyrdoderm signed a contract in 2005 with a $2.4 million dollar price tag. Under the obligations, Teri was not allowed to support, back, represent or promote any other beauty products. The suit accused her of associating herself, name and image with at least 17 other beauty related products or companies. CityLips was one of the named products Hydroderm seemed to have the biggest problem. She gave the lip plumper from the competition credit for her red carpet glamour.
The skin care company is seeking the full $2.4 million in their suit. Meanwhile Hatcher and her lawyer are fighting the suit and seeking the full payment promised to her.
A New Zealand strip club is being served. Kylie Minogue sent her attorney team after the establishment after an image feature Kylie in a wet t-shirt was used to attract customers. The lawyers sent a letter asking them to remove the poster and stated that the image gave the idication that Minogue “endorsed” the club.
The owner of the strip club said that the image on the photo was not Kylie. A local paper quoted him as defending that he simply downloaded the image from the net over three months ago. He also felt it looked nothing like Kylie. After throwing a fit, he took it down due to a lawsuit threat. He is still trying to post the image and sent it to her attorney team to see if they would reconsider.
A rapper is trying to score some funds from a song he supposedly was a part of. Kyle Jones, aka Scratch, has filled a suit against Pink, aka Alecia Moore, for copyright infringement and breach of contract. Kyle claims he recorded a performance in November 2001 for the track “Respect” on her album “Missundaztood” and was never paid for his “work.” The legal papers state that they verbally spoke of payments but never came to an agreement. He is seeking at least $717, 600 in damages.
Why he waited six years to sue is probably one giant sign the guy is desperate and seeking some cash he doesn’t deserve. Pinks reps brushed off the suit saying it was “unjustified.”
Kylie Minogue likes to ride the mechanical bull. In fact, the picture above is the second time she’s done it for the camera. This is her backdrop for her new ITV special. The first time, below, was for a racy lingerie ad that later got banned (wonder why …). You go, cowgirl Kylie.

This summer marks the 10th anniversary of Lilith Fair, the all-female music festival founded by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan.
Now we celebrate the new generation of women who have taken up the torch passed by McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple and other ladies of Lilith, and who continue to redefine what it means to be a woman who rocks.
#10 - Beth Ditto
Birthplace: Searcy, Ark.
Sound: Dance punk
Frontwoman for the Gossip, Ditto — a plus-sized lesbian with a Southern drawl and a soulful howl — challenges the skinny white boy indie-rock canon with riot grrrl mentality and a disco backbeat. Her firecracker social consciousness has earned an avid fan in Rosie O’Donnell, who toured alongside Ditto on this summer’s True Colors tour.
#9 - Feist
Birthplace: Amherst, Nova Scotia
Sound: Indie rock
Leslie Feist, who, in addition to recording solo, is also member of Broken Social Scene, crafts wistful tunes that will both break and mend the heart. This former flatmate of fellow Canadian Peaches first dropped jaws with the playfully hushed song ‘Mushaboom,’ off her second album, ‘Let It Die.’ When McDonald’s ask to use the song for $1 million in their commercials, Feist, proving herself a little punk, said no.
#8 - M.I.A.
Birthplace: London
Sound: Garage hip-hop
Manthangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, a.k.a. M.I.A., is a Sri Lankan artist who was raised in London after her family was forced to flee the nation during its civil war. Her debut album, 2005’s ‘Arular,’ was a politically potent, musical free-for-all where dancehall, hip-hop and electro clashed in its own sonic war zone. M.I.A.’s lyrics and artwork have gotten her subsequently banned from MTV and denied a U.S. visa, but she marches on, defiant in her personal doctrine.
#7 - Tegan and Sara
Birthplace: Calgary, Alberta
Sound: Folk punk
Tegan and Sara Quin are out and proud identical twin singer-songwriters from Canada. The two have released five albums of hearty folk-punk, and garnered mainstream attention after the White Stripes covered ‘Walking With a Ghost,’ off the sisters’ album ‘So Jealous’ — a record Rolling Stone named on their 50 Best Albums of 2004 list.
#6 - Amanda Palmer
Birthplace: Lexington, Mass.
Sound: Cabaret punk
Palmer — one-half of Boston’s Brechtian punk cabaret duo the Dresden Dolls — ain’t no damsel in distress. The former street artist chokeholds her demons, teetering between sinister screeches and whimsical whispers of alcohol, self-mutilation and sexual exploration, while discordantly pummeling the piano — stocking-clad legs akimbo — in a sultry, sinful self-deprecation exorcism.
#5 - Regina Spektor
Birthplace: Moscow
Sound: Anti-folk
Part oddball, part girl next door, the Russian-born, Bronx-raised Spektor is an anti-folk ivory tickler who crashes quirky head on with profound. Her one-two punch of lilting melodies and vocal gurgles juxtapose something fierce, while her myriad of styles surface best live, where Spektor’s likely to offer up two kinds of beatings: that of a drumstick on her piano bench, or the beatbox flurry that buzzes from her lips.
#4 - Jenny Lewis
Birthplace: Las Vegas
Sound: Indie rock
Just as the brassy Lewis can curl toes with a sleepy, girly-crooned tune about jumping ship and falling deep despite herself, she’ll just as soon haunt with done-wrong tales buoyed by a soul-scraping howl. As both a solo artist and member of indie rock darlings Rilo Kiley, this former child actor is more Joan Collins than Jett, more Laura Nyro than Veirs.
#3 - Karen O
Birthplace: South Korea
Sound: Art punk
From orgasmic screeches to epileptic body-thrashing, the New Jersey-raised Karen O is more than an idiosyncratic rocker with an unnatural affinity for Spandex. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman is a self-possessed force of nature who’ll dizzy you up with lyrical riddles, douse you in beer and then sing you a love song to rest your pretty little head.
#2 - Lily Allen
Birthplace: London
Sound: Reggae pop
This lippy Limey was listed on Entertainment Weekly’s Top Albums of 2006 with ‘Alright, Still’ — thanks to the much MySpace-buzzed tune ‘Smile’ — despite any proper album release. Allen, whose Godfather is late Clash guitarist Joe Strummer, has since turned heads for her unapologetic verbal barrages. Among her tussles: Kylie Minogue, Lady Sov, Pete Doherty, James Blunt, Madonna, the jerks who stole her dog and the NME.
#1 - Amy Winehouse
Birthplace: London
Sound: Girl-group soul
The tatted-up, beehive sportin’ British neo-soul chanteuse is unapologetic about two things. One is her drinking, which is formidable. The second is the uncanny way in which she meshes modern urban attitudes with classic blues, soul and girl-group sounds. Her second album, ‘Back to Black,’ was recently certified gold, no doubt in part to its lead single, the middle-finger lush anthem ‘Rehab.’
Aussie model Emily Scott, named “Sexiest Aussie Babe” by FHM Australia earlier this year, is nude in Maxim. When did Maxim start doing nude photos, you ask? Well, this would be GermanMaxim.
She’s also nude in the Australian edition, which has an extensive interview. Some excerpts, leaving out the boring stuff where we learn about her wants, needs, and hopes:
Do you ever dress up in the bedroom, too?
Definitely! I’ve got boxes full of sexy dressing-up outfits. I must have about 20! Which one I wear depends on my mood, but nurses and schoolgirls are generally a hit.You can’t go wrong with either of those two.
Tremendous! Give us your three best sex tips…
The most important things when it comes to sex are: taking your time, being firm and being vocal.
When you want to pull someone, how do you go about it?
I make flirtatious eye contact, giving them my best sexy looks, then I just go up to them and say, ‘Hey, how’re you doing?’ That technique has never really failed.
If we pinched your bum, would you punch us in the face?
No, I’d probably like it, then look around and hope you weren’t some crazy person. I’d be fairly nice to you after that!
Who’s got the best boobs in the business?
Michelle Marsh. They’re spectacular! I’ve seen her in the flesh, but not with her top off. I’d like to, though. I’d probably like to feel them, too!
Do girls really go round feeling each other’s boobs?
Yeah, of course. I’ve felt all my girlfriends’ boobs – that’s pretty standard.
Who’s the sexiest girl in Australia?
Imogen Bailey [the model and singer] is really hot. I can remember her being around before I got started and, yeah, she’s hot.
Kylie Minogue, Holly Valance and Elle McPherson: shag, marry, throw off a cliff?
Ooh, I’d marry Kylie Minogue, shag Holly Valance and throw Elle McPherson off a cliff. She’s done her dash already. It’s only fair.
Thongs or French knickers?
The smaller the better with underwear. We had some sexy little stuff on the Maxim shoot, sexy little Brazilian ones. I like anything by Agent Provocateur – and leather can look hot, too!
Leather? You’d get all sweaty in that surely? Well, it’s not designed to be worn for a very long time, if you know what I mean… Q:Probably not. Do you enjoy getting naked outdoors?
The whole outdoors thing is popular in Australia because we’ve got the weather for it. I’ve never been caught. I must be lucky or very good at it by now!
If you could go to bed with one man and one woman, who would they be?
I have a bit of a thing for Bruce Willis, so he’d definitely be in there. One woman? Can’t I have more? Carmen Electra and Angelina Jolie.
We’re under pressure from our advertisers to keep it fairly clean, so that’s about all I can show you here. Go to Australian Maxim’s “How hot is Emily Scott?” (which also has the boring parts of the interview) and The Feeding Tube for the rest.
Kylie Minogue, pictured in a silver bikini she inspired for a new line at H&M, looks amazing [photoshop noted], yet….
Kylie’s gown was stunning, when she attended the opening of China’s first H&M store but her choice in lipstick drew comparisons with The Joker from the Batman movies.
Many of the UK’s leading dance producers are jockeying to be part of the highly-anticipated tenth album of Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue. The new offering will be Minogue’s first since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005 and is a follow-up to her 2003 album Body Language.
Tom Findlay, one part of popular English electro-pop outfit Groove Armada, says the band has submitted several pieces to be considered by Minogue. However, he knows they aren’t alone.
“Everybody is thinking of working with Kylie on this album and with good reason,” Findlay said.
“It’s going to be a huge album with all eyes on it. After what she has come back from (with breast cancer), every music producer I have met has submitted or is working with her on this comeback album.
“It’s a very competitive market and album. It would be great to be a part of that.”
… and hook up with some young, hot… race car driver. Woo Wee! I’m guessing that Dannii was having a bad hair day… why else would you wear that fugly knit hat?
H&M’s theme this summer is Australia- a relaxed, sporty, beach-life feel mixed with the glam look and lots of shiny metallic. H&M pays tribute to sparkling pop princess and style icon, Kylie Minogue by designing a limited line of bohemian–chic beachwear with Kylie as a muse. Kylie is also the face of the upcoming beachwear campaign.
The “H&M loves Kylie” line is part of H&M’s main swimwear range and contains fifteen styles which will be in all H&M stores that sell womenswear in mid May.
“When we think Australia and glamour we think Kylie, who is such a fashionable person,” says H&M’s head of design Margareta van den Bosch.
“It has been a great experience working with H&M to create this summer line. To me it is all about summer indulgence, effortless chic and lots of fun!” says Kylie Minogue.
10 percent of all proceeds from the sales for this beachwear line will be donated to WaterAid. The international charity WaterAid is dedicated to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world’s poorest people.
“WaterAid has a long and valued relationship with H&M and is delighted to be involved with the ‘H&M loves Kylie’ line. The money raised from this will make a tremendous difference to the lives of people in the countries where we work, every $30 raised enables one person to receive a sustainable supply of clean water, adequate sanitation and basic hygiene education,” says Barbara Frost Chief Executive of WaterAid.
An internationally renowned recording artist whose effervescence and lust for life has inspired a generation of women; Kylie has amassed over forty hit singles globally and two Top Ten Billboard hits in the U.S. Add her successful touring record and acting career into the mix and it’s no wonder she’s heralded as the ultimate ‘showgirl’.
Founded in Sweden in 1947, H&M has over 1,300 stores in 24 countries and is synonymous around the world with affordable, up to date and high quality fashion. The company’s collections are created by their own designers.
