Is presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann an "American Girl"? Sure, but she can't play that song at her campaign events - at least that's what Tom Petty's cease and desist letter says.
Bachmann had been using the song as part of her campaign message, playing it as she walked onstage during events. Well, maybe it's time for Bachmann to play a different tune.
Rockers and politicians have fighting over the use of music in campaigns for years. Bachmann's case is only the most recent of these spats.

Did Lady Gaga scam earthquake victims in Japan? Lady Gaga's charity was a scam, according to a new lawsuit.

Lady Gaga had encouraged fans to buy $5 charity wristbands for relief efforts in Japan after the tragic earthquake and tsunami, according to E! Online.

For the estate of the now-deceased former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith, the Supreme Court is not a friend. The Supreme Court's recent ruling has ended Smith's long-running posthumous battle for J. Howard Marshall's estate, her deceased husband.

Smith married Howard, a Texas oil tycoon, who was 63 years older than her, reports The New York Times. She was 26 at the time. He was 89, and he died around 14 months after their marriage, leaving behind a $1.6 billion fortune, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Police have only indicated that there was a "physical altercation" with the mother of his child.
When Megan Fox was fired from her role in the "Transformers" movie franchise, many thought that the command was issued by director Michael Bay over some disparaging remarks she made in an interview with the British magazine Wonderland.
But, as it turns out, there may have been another Hollywood bigwig behind Fox's firing. According to Bay, it was Steven Spielberg, who is the executive producer of the films, who demanded that Fox be fired from the third installment, reports the Guardian.
The reason? Fox had likened Bay to Hitler in the interview, according to the Guardian.

"It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday..." So goes the lyrics of Rebecca Black's "Friday." Once just an ordinary 13-year-old, Black is now a household name for this fairly ridiculous song.
But now "Friday" has just been taken off YouTube as part of a legal battle.

British actor Sean Bean, stabbed Sunday night outside a pub in North West London, has proved that he takes his tough guy image a little too seriously--on and off the screen.
Not only did he spend his night smoking cigarettes and being on the receiving end of a stab to the arm, the star of HBO's Game of Thrones indulged in his white knight fantasies and skipped the hospital in favor of another drink.

Uh oh, it might be time for a Kim Kardashian defamation lawsuit to take off. Apparently, the Kim Kardashian/Bret Lockett affair might just be all made up.
Usually, affairs are clandestine and a bit scandalous. Two lovers sneaking behind their boyfriend and girlfriend's backs, etc. Yet, now NFL player Lockett is saying that he actually has never met Ms. Kardashian, reports iVillage.
That's right. An affair where you never meet the person. It's kind of like the old saying, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it - does it really fall? So, if there's an affair, but nobody actually saw each other in the flesh, did it really happen?
Reality star Kim Kardashian and Bret Lockett's affair - or alleged affair - might be taking a legal turn. The Kim Kardashian/Bret Lockett scandal erupted after a story broke in In Touch, a weekly gossip magazine, that the two had an affair.
Lockett is a NFL player for the New England Patriots. If the allegations of the affair of true, Kardashian would have been cheating on fiancé Kris Humphries, a basketball player for the New Jersey Nets, reports Reality TV World.
Kardashian has steadfastly denied the allegations of an affair - and in fact claims that she has never met him. But, Lockett is claiming that they did have a relationship - and a five-month relationship to boot. Who is to be believed?
It's a little lazy to stalk someone currently on house arrest, but Lindsay Lohan stalker David Cocordan appears to have capitalized on Lohan's restricted lifestyle.
After he sent countless text messages and made an attempt to speak to the judge presiding over her theft case, the embattled actress was granted a restraining order against Cocordan, who must now refrain from harassing the actress and remain at least 100 yards away for the next 2 years.
According to court records, the 28-year-old man sent over 100 text messages to Lohan, including some that bordered on sexually explicit, reports E! Online. David Cocordan also showed up at the actress' home, as well as at nearly all of her recent court hearings.
The Hangover tattoo lawsuit has taken another turn. Warner Bros. has now told the Missouri judge handling the case that it will digitally alter the Mike Tyson face tattoo inked on actor Ed Helms' face in its future DVD release of the movie if the lawsuit is not settled by then.
S. Victor Whitmill, the original tattoo artist for Mike Tyson's iconic facial tattoo, originally filed for an injunction to prevent the release of Hangover 2.
Whitmill's argument was that when he and Tyson agreed that Whitmill would retain the rights related to his tattoo artwork. Helms' facial tattoo, as a result, would be infringing on his copyright, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
To the list of artists picked up for a DUI, add Flo Rida. Arrested at about 4 a.m. this morning, the rapper, born Tramar Dillard, was spotted by police in Miami Beach swerving in and out of lanes while driving his super expensive care: a 2008 Bugatti sports car.
Did I mention that, once out of the car, he told officers that he had had a few drinks?
Brilliant.
The fun doesn't stop here.
Are we really surprised that Willie Nelson smokes marijuana? Thankfully for the country music legend, the Willie Nelson marijuana case seems to be about over, as the singer has agreed to a plea deal.
Though there were reports that the Texas prosecutor was willing to let him go for a little song and dance, it looks like he'll actually be paying a $500 fine and acting like a law-abiding citizen for 30 days in exchange for the charges being dismissed.
Willie Nelson was busted last November at a border checkpoint after an agent found pot on his tour bus.
Rep. Anthony Weiner's online antics keep unraveling. Indeed, a "Weinergate" porn star, Ginger Lee, might have received some coaching by the Democratic congressman on how to lie on his behalf.
Lee made a blip on the media's radar when she tweeted that she had received a private message from Weiner on March 13, reports The Daily Caller.
When contacted by the media, Lee declined to answer questions about what was sent in the private message, and whether or not Weiner had tried to send her photos. However, apparently some of Weiner's messages to Lee were him coaching her on how to lie to the press, reports TMZ.
Wish you could take a look at a J. Lo sex tape? Well, don't hold your breath. Lopez has scored a court ruling against Ojani Noa, her ex-husband, barring him and his manager Ed Meyer from making money off of footage of Lopez.

Vasquez, who owns the tape after buying it off her boyfriend, has been blocked from distributing it, according to celebrity gossip source TMZ. She can't sell it without J. Lo's okay, according to a judge.
Looks like Wesley Snipes' tax evasion conviction is going to stick.
Currently serving out a 3-year sentence, Snipes was hoping that the United States Supreme Court would come to his rescue, overturning his conviction and releasing him back into the world.
His dreams were crushed on Monday morning, with the court summarily denying his appeal without comment.
Wesley Snipes' tax evasion conviction stems from his failure to file and pay federal income taxes on more than $37 million over a multi-year period, reports Reuters.
Kris Humphries + Kim Kardashian = prenup. And then a marriage. The pragmatic Kim Kardashian's prenuptial agreement with her new fiancé Kris Humphries may seem unromantic, but given the state of Kardashian's finances, it's probably a wise move.
Kardashian herself has amassed an estimated $35-million fortune, reports the New York Daily News. And her fiancé, Humphries, is a New Jersey Nets star with a salary totaling $3.2 million a season. His family also owns several Five Guys Burgers and Fries locations in Minnesota, making his net worth around $8 million.
So, it seems only practical - and smart - that these two lovebirds hammer out a contingency plan in case their fairy tale marriage ends in divorce.
Jenna Jameson - sued for breach of contract. Not exactly the spiciest of lawsuits for the adult film star. The Jenna Jameson lawsuit is arising out of a contract that Jameson apparently reneged on in late March. At least we have Zombie Strippers to balance things out.
The owners of Hollywood Palms Cinema and Hollywood Blvd. in Illinois are alleging that Jameson "faked it" to get out of appearing at their theater to do a promotion for her 2008 film "Zombie Strippers!"
Jameson's agent gave the theater owners a "doctor's note" indicating that the actress had a "medical emergency" which prevented her from attending the scheduled event, reports the Chicago Tribune. The theater owners were none-too-pleased when images of Jameson later surfaced on the web - she had attended celebrity blogger Perez Hilton's "Perez's Blue Ball" in Hollywood, which took place on the same weekend as the "Zombie Strippers!" event.
It seems as though History Channel reality television stars are a little less likely to find themselves in trouble with the law. Well, unless you're Gregory Boadwine. Arrested early Friday for allegedly beating his wife, the Ice Road Truckers star is now facing domestic battery charges.
One wonders whether he should face charges for psychologically damaging his child as well.
For those who don't partake in the History Channel's comparatively upscale reality programming, Ice Road Truckers follows a group of drivers hired to haul essential supplies across the dangerous and treacherous frozen lakes in Northwest Canada.
Snooki crashes car into police in Italy, Snooki loses license. Seems about right, right? But now the Italian police that she injured in a crash may have grounds to pursue their very own Snooki lawsuit against the pint-sized reality TV star.
Snooki recently crashed her car into a local cop car in Florence during the filming for Jersey Shore Italy. Two police officers, a male and a female, were only slightly injured in the crash, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Snooki was not formally arrested and reps for Jersey Shore and the Italian police found that no alcohol was involved in the accident. In fact, the police were driving a cop car designated to escort the Jersey Shore crew.
"Andy Dick put his penis on my face" - at least so alleges Robert Tucker, an audience member and unfortunate recipient of some of Dick's unwanted advances during a comedy show in Texas in December 2010. This newest Andy Dick lawsuit, filed in Dallas, is the result of the gratuitous standup show.
Beforewarned: the facts (like Andy Dick) are strange, and raunchy. According to Tucker, during part of the comedy show, Dick changed into a red skirt, black top, and a wig.
Tucker asked Dick for an autograph when Dick walked through the audience. Dick told him to "hold on a minute," then pulled up a stool next to Tucker. You know where this is going.
