1. The rock band Motley Crüe is suing their former manager for swindling them out of money behind their backs. Crüe is represented by lawyers Louis Miller and A. Sasha Frid of the Los Angeles firm Miller Barondess, LLP. The band seeks unspecified damages and requests that Stein has no right to any commissions from their work. Stein should know better… nobody messes with a hair band.

2. Fighter in fishnets? The stripper that sued Oscer De La Hoya has dismissed her claim. Milana Dravnel (represented by Salvatore Strazzullo) was seeking $25 million for slander. She claimed that De La Hoya presured her to “recant the legitimacy of photos she allegedly took of the boxer in fishnet stockings, high heels and other women’s garb”. Dravnel dismissed the case after an expert assessed the photos as “doctored”. De La Hoy’s attorney, Judd Burstein, had this to say: “She was facing destruction on a major scale. She wisely chose to dismiss.”

3. Colorado lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, is dealing with an interesting case this week. He represents Roman Catholic priest who had been accused of jogging naked at a high school track. Father Robert Whipkey was found guilty of indecent exposure. The officer who arrested him said his excuse was “He said that he didn’t like to wear any clothes because he sweats profusely.” That seems like a good reason to stip and go for a run.
