Ouch!
Beyonce has just paid quite a hefty 5-figure settlement to Philip Markowitz after she “invaded his neighborhood” for a music video shoot.
Markowitz sued Beyonce and her production crew back in May, claiming she was a major disturbance while filming the music video for “Why Don’t You Love Me” in the Hollywood Hills.
Apparently the crew trespassed onto Markowitz’s driveway…
He says:
“I’m happy with the settlement, but this lawsuit shouldn’t have happened in the first place. They set up on my property without asking and [the settlement] should send a notice to other production companies that they need to respect the rights of property owners.”
Sounds like someone should pipe down and just be happy about the money he got!

It takes a lot of balls to go after Robert De Niro, but his former property manager is doing just that.
Michael Thompson is claiming that he was illegally fired for what he says are untrue accusations that he skipped work and took kickbacks from vendors.
Thompson also claims that one of De Niro’s assistants spread these “false” allegations through the “domestic estate management field,” which allegedly cost him a job with George Soros’ oldest son.
Apparently, it all started when De Niro promised Thompson a “lengthy period of employment” when he was hired in November 2007. He was let go after two years.
Yikes! This is ugly!
What do U think? Is De Niro or Thompson in the clear?

This could be a really rough turn of events for Jersey Shore lovers everywhere.
Over the summer, our beloved Snooki Snickers had a few too many helpings of Ron-Ron juice with her morning pickle one day and ended up wandering out into the Seaside Heights sun, terrorizing her fellow guidettes and landing in jail.
Today is her trial hearing and should the judge find her guilty of the charges of disorderly conduct, being a public nuisance and criminally annoying others, she could go to jail! Standard procedure is to charge $3,200 and 30 days in jail!
Oh no! Is that really necessary? It was all for the sake of entertaining television, after all!
To quote the majestic swamp princess: “I’m too pretty to be in jail!”
Agreed! How’s about we call this charge a double-bagger and forget all about it?
