Lohan Accused
Lindsay Lohan has denied claims she intentionally flooded her ex-boyfriend Harry Morton’s apartment, because she insists she was out of town when the incident happened. Lohan, who lives above Morton’s Sierra Towers home in Hollywood, is being held responsible for the flood, which caused $150,000 worth of damage to the apartment. The security staff at the apartment complex claim they gained entry to Lohan’s vacant apartment last month after Morton reported the flood, and found “water overflowing in the bathtub.” In his report, the security officer wrote, “It seems that they left the faucet on. I turned it off.” The incident report has left Lohan baffled because she claims she was in New York when the flood took place, even though video footage reportedly shows that she was partying in Los Angeles on the night in question.

Lopez & Anthony Suing
Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, are suing the National Enquirer in European courts over the tabloid’s claims they were linked to a drug scandal, their Belfast lawyer said. Paul Tweed, who specializes in bringing U.S.-based celebrities’ libel cases to British and Irish courts, said Lopez and singer Anthony were seeking “a six-figure settlement” from the Enquirer, based in Boca Raton, Flaorida, and its parent company, American Media Inc. Tweed said the lawsuit would be filed in a Belfast court, and in subsequent days in courts in Dublin, London and Paris. The lawsuit also seeks an apology and retraction for an article that appeared in different versions of the Enquirer’s U.S. and international editions. The version published March 12 in British and Irish editions alleged the couple were “caught up in a heroin scandal” and reprinted a 2004 picture of Anthony standing beside photographer Michael Star, who is facing charges of heroin possession in the U.S. The article quoted an alleged friend of Star as saying Star and Anthony were friends. Tweed said, “This was untrue and that Anthony didn’t know Star even as an acquaintance.” Anthony posed for the 2004 photograph, Tweed said, “in keeping with his usual hospitality toward backstage concert fans.” There has been a growing trend in international libel suits brought by U.S.-based celebrities in European courts, where libel laws favor the celebrity, not the publication.”The First Amendment restrictions in U.S. libel law make it virtually impossible for international celebrities or other high-profile individuals to sue successfully,” Tweed said. “But with the advance of the Internet, and with U.S. publications now extending their distribution network into Europe, they must subject themselves to libel laws in these jurisdictions.”
