J.Lo sued over dog attack

Jennifer Lopez,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news Jennifer Lopez sued over dog attack An air stewardess has filed a lawsuit seeking £2.5m in compensation from Jennifer Lopez, claiming she was attacked by the star’s guard dog during a plane trip two years ago. Lisa Wilson filed the papers in Brooklyn and said the attack caused her to fall and suffer back injuries that prevent her from working. Court documents said that in July 2006 Wilson worked on a flight taking J.Lo, along with Floyd, her German shepherd, to Burbank Airport in California. Lopez gave her some instructions on how to act around Floyd but 90 minutes into the flight Wilson walked past the dog who responded by "attacking her and biting her pant leg". Wilson added that when she tried to get away she "twisted and fell" injuring her lower back so badly she could no longer work. The suit contends Lopez is "absolutely liable for all injuries" because she "should have known the dog had vicious propensities" and kept it muzzled and leashed. So far Jennifer’s made no comment.

Josh Hartnett - Star of CCTV

Josh Hartnett,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news Josh Hartnett caught on CCTV Josh Hartnett was caught getting “hot and heavy” with a mystery girl by a London hotel’s CCTV system, the Daily Mirror claimed this week. “Josh and the girl were getting pretty hot and heavy,” a source told the paper. “After stumbling in quite late, they legged it to the library and immediately closed all the curtains so that no one could see in. Unfortunately the hotel has security cameras all over the place - the library included. This means their every spit and cough was recorded, and cringing hotel workers saw all of Josh\'s X-rated moves. No one quite knew where to look and there was a very awkward silence. After the event, someone had a quiet word in Josh\'s ear and he was asked to take his personal business elsewhere in future. He\'s been as good as gold since.”

He\'s like seriously clever,” the reporter claimed Kelly said. “That\'s when I felt a hard slap to my right cheekbone,” Griffin wrote. “I put my hand to my face while my friends looked on aghast. I was in a state of shock. Not for long, though. Soon Kelly came rampaging back over with a female friend jabbing a finger in the air, telling me that I\'d have to watch my back if I shared my story with readers of this column.”
