50 Cent Suing Taco Bell

50 Cent is suing Taco Bell for planting a fake story about him changing his name for a Taco Bell promotion. According to the suit, Taco Bell parlayed a media stunt into an ad campaign. 50's lawyers are accusing Taco Bell of false advertising by circulating a letter addressed to 50 asking him to "change his name for one day from '50 Cent' to '79 Cent,' '89 Cent' or '99 Cent.' "
"After Taco Bell drafted the letter, it did not send it to [50 Cent]. Instead Taco Bell released it to the national press," his lawyers wrote. The letter was designed to promote the company's "79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More" campaign, while avoiding the multimillion dollar fee the rapper might have charged to use his name, the lawsuit claims.

For £10,000 A Night You Can't Burn A Few Sheets?

Naomi Campbell stayed at the Moscow Ritz Carlton in the £10,000-a-night presidential suite last week and after she checked-out, cleaners found holes burnt in the suite's silk sheets, apparently from cigarettes or candles, according to reports in Moscow.

And check it, when they asked Naomi to pay for the dammage, she refused, telling the staff any damage should be covered by the room bill.

One hotel worker said: 'As soon as they found the burnt sheets, the managers at our hotel rushed back to Naomi's people. 'But she sent back a message saying we were being ridiculous and there was no way she would pay any fee.'

If the Moscow Ritz know like I know, they'll leave Naomi alone before one of their maids gets her butt kicked over a set of sheets.

Disgraced Olympic track star Marion Jones has asked President Bush to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.

The Justice Department confirmed Monday that Jones is among hundreds of convicted felons who have applied for presidential pardons or sentence commutations, but would provide no further details. A pardon removes a conviction from someone's record, while a commutation only reduces or eliminates the person's sentence.

Jones was sentenced in January to six months in prison and 400 hours of community service.
