American Express Co wants Courtney Love to leave home without it.
The financial services firm sued the musician in Los Angeles on Wednesday, alleging she owes more than $350,000 in unpaid charges and other fees on her AmEx Gold card.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, seeks $352,059.67 for the unpaid balance, damages, attorney’s fees and late charges, and says Love’s charging privileges were suspended after she “failed and refused” to make payments.
Kisha and Jen were eliminated from last week’s penultimate episode of The Amazing Race due to an ill-timed bathroom break, setting up a showdown between a mother/son team, a brother/sister team and a team of two attractive fire-haired cheerleaders. There’s no unanimous rooting interest in this bunch, each team having its share of fans and detractors. In tonight’s final leg, teams traveled from the Far East to Maui. What follows is a recap of tonight’s events.
Final Rooney Report of the Season: Andy Rooney actually gives a pretty good monologue on 60 Minutes tonight. I feel like I’ve entered a parallel universe. He talks about graduating, what that feeling is like, and the bittersweet emotions that come with it. I know that Rooney used to be really good, really valuable, and tonight he gave us a glimmer of the thinker he used to be. I can’t believe I just complimented Andy Rooney. I feel funny.
Michael Jackson’s former publicist filed a $44 million lawsuit on Wednesday against the self-styled “King of Pop” for failing to pay her for her services.
Raymone Bain, who represented Jackson during his 2005 trial and acquittal on child sex abuse charges and later managed his business company, filed a breach of contract civil lawsuit against the singer in Washington, D.C.
She said in a statement that she had decided “with deep regret” to sue Jackson, describing him as someone “whom I have greatly admired and respected.”
