Hot New Hollywood Trend: Crazy Defamation Legal cases
Could it be just us or are defamation legal cases getting good insane through the month?Celebs have lengthy prosecuted tabloids over things written that nobody thinks anyway, but nowadays, legal cases stretch in the crazy towards the plain absurd. The concept that politicians may have trouble showing the needed "actual malice" and for that reason should not bring defamation legal cases almost appears as an old notion now.This past week, defamation suits were filed including Lindsay Lohan versus. a rapper, insurance professionals versus. Eliot Spitzer, an archive executive versus. former New Edition singer Johnny Gill, and finally, Oasis singer Liam Gallagher versus. brother Noel Gallagher. Can there be some kind of thread that connects these wild legal cases?Gallagher v. Gallagher involves comments designed to the press about why Oasis was instructed to cancel a 2009 concert. It had us scrambling to construct a listing of the greatest all-time defamation legal cases. Where to start? Even when we restricted ourselves to claims filed just previously couple of several weeks, we'd be sorting with these doozies:Lindsay Lohan is suing rapper Pitbull on the rap lyric,"locked up like Lindsay Lohan." Based on the suit: "Due to [the song's] wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory claims through the accused about [Lohan] are determined to do permanent harm."A lady is suing A&E Television Systems for allegedly using tricky editing to imply she smuggled drugs in her own vagina on her imprisoned husband."Dr. Luke" Gottwald, probably the most effective contemporary pop music producers, is suing the Bellamy Siblings for defaming him by recommending his song for Britney Warrior spears, "Hold It Against Me," was plagiarized. Apparently, accusations of copyright thievery can rise to libelous claims now.Also are accusations of song seeping.Notifi RecordsCEOIra DeWittis suing former New Edition singerJohnny Gillfor making this type of suggestion on Twitter.Talking about Twitter, let us remember individuals lawyers suing Courtney Love over comments made about the social platform -- the 2nd time the singer continues to be prosecuted for alleged tweet defamation.Broadway singer Marty Thomas introduced a defamation action against an anonymous person to be able to compel Twitter to show the identity of the individual who accused him of contracting an STD.A newspaper lost a defamation suit, authored an editorial by what happened, after which got prosecuted for defamation (again) through the judge within the situation.These are merely some good examples from the moreout-there cases. You will find also those that make news due to huge dollar figures, in addition to large personas, includingthe $tens of millions of defamation claim against Gawker Media over itsArnold Schwarzeneggerlove child publish, the $50 million defamation suit against MSNBC and host Rachel Maddow over comments made on-air about heavy-metal rocker switched radio host and conservative preacherBradlee Dean, the $50 million suit against Star Magazine over claims made a good allegedKatie Holmes substance abuse, and today, the $60 million suit against Elliot Spitzer for covering allegedly corrupt insurance executives inside a Slate column.We do not mean to claim that these legal cases don't have any merit -- some might -- basically there appears to become more large and bold libel legal cases than in the past. The standard technical obstacles given to "politicians" no more appear like road blocks to some court filing.This boosts an issue: Do these litigants get anything for his or her trouble besides a hefty legal bill and bad head lines?Based on a study this past year put by the Media Law Research Center, the share of complaintant wins is lower considerably. Within the eighties, litigants were winning nearly 63% of times. Nowadays, it's under 48%.Then, there's this: Based on the MLRC, punitive damages have significantly dropped while award for honours have risen considerably. This may explain why litigants appear to drag their damage estimations from nothing. There is nothing more nebulous than recompensating someone for emotional suffering.Put everything together, and that we visit a digital atmosphere where individuals have a microphone to shout whatever they'd like. Comments travel further and apparently hold off nearly forever. And today, sensitive folks hurry to courts with defamation claims. The legal cases might not be winning, but possibly funds could be removed.It is possible to better way?Some people are searching for solutions. For instance, David Ardia ofUniversity of New York School of Law and also the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, recommended inside a recent paper for that "Harvard Civil Privileges-Civil Protections Law Review"the law be cool in order to deemphasize financial remedies for defamation. Rather, he recommended alternative approaches for example methods to let the fixing of any mistakes, possibilities for contextualization, and utilizing the energy of online towns to discourage and mitigate reputational harm.Ardia's ideas may seem somewhat utopian, but clearly there should be more considered studying defamation constructs within the digital age. For now, benefit from the crazy head lines. The Hollywood Reporter

Happy 25th Anniversary, Stand By Me! What's Its Most Underrated Moment?
The cast of Stand by Me reunited earlier this year to commemorate the film’s 25th year, but it’s today, Aug. 8, that the Rob Reiner-directed ode to innocence and burgeoning adulthood celebrates its official silver anniversary. Whether in the narration of Richard Dreyfuss or the poignant camaraderie of 12-year-old crusaders Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, or Jerry O’Connell, the movie packs plenty of childhood insight into 88 minutes. What its most underrated moment? Because Stand by Me feels somewhat like an elongated short story (as it’s based on Stephen King’s novella The Body), its cinematic metaphors stand our like motifs in an Edith Wharton or a D.H. Lawrence work. My favorite among the metaphors is that of the train, which zooms into frame sometimes innocently and oftentimes violently. When Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) stands in the tracks and stares down the charging locomotive or when all four kids must dart across a bridge to evade the speeding vehicle, it’s clear the train stands for the harrowing, often uninvited brushes with a new reality the characters already understand too well. There’s no denying how well Rob Reiner pinpointed “the end of childhood” in Stand By Me, and the train symbolizes the necessary, but painful eventuality of that transition. Plus, I love when Teddy announces, “And while you guys are dragging your candy-asses halfway across the state and back, I’ll be waiting for you on the other side, relaxing with my thoughts.” Even a traumatized burnout like Teddy knows that “candy-ass” can be an effective, hilarious barb. (And of course, Gordie’s rejoinder, “You use your left hand or your right hand for that?” is just as funny.) Oh, and Kiefer Sutherland’s shock-blond Brigitte Nielsen ‘do is cute too. Hit the comments with your favorite underrated moment from Stand By Me.

Charlie Sheen's Funeral on 'Two and a Half Men' (Photos)
Two and a Half Men has been set up in for Charlie Sheen's funeral, and TMZ.com has the first photos (see them bigger here). There's no coffin or urn, but Sheen's character Charlie Harper's trademark bowling shirt is on display surrounded by elaborate flowers. The episode will air on Sept. 19, the day after the Emmys. Ashton Kutcher will fill in for Sheen. CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler wouldn't reveal details of the funeral, but did say earlier this week at TCA that "programming standards and practices team is already on high alert." Kutcher will be playing a broken-hearted Internet billionaire named Walden Schmidt. Chuck Lorre created the character. At the first table read on Monday you could "cut the air with the knife," Tassler said, referring to the pressure on the cast to continue the ratings of the show, and the adjustment with a new star. As for Sheen, "I have no idea [whether Sheen can turn the corner with new Lionsgate project, Anger Management]. I know that he's moved on and ... his slate is full and he's a very busy man," Tassler said.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
Set in the underbelly of Mumbai, between the infamous by-lanes where Greed is a Culture and Deceit becomes a Compulsion . The film revolves around gangs of Mumbai who have embraced pickpocketing as an art and a means of earning a livelihood. They use their intelligence as a canvas and their spontaneity as a brush to survive in this dangerous profession. Bhindi Baazaar Inc. is the story of a pawn and his calculated moves to reach the other end of the chessboard. Revolving around vicious crime syndicates, the film starts with a game of chess being played between two characters; Shroff and Darzi . It highlights the ambitious and planned moves of a pawn to reach the other end of the board. Their every move in the game correlates with life in the real world and how people are used or killed as the game progresses. The story is based on the quest of a small time pickpocket Fateh and his ambitions to become a MAMU (local area don). The screenplay underlines the gritty politics, feared hierarchy, unspoken rules, authoritative commands, shrewd intelligence, crafty wit and cold blooded betrayals, within the business.
