In a Cartoon Network lawsuit, a North Dakota advertising agency alleges copyright infringement by the creators of a show called "Annoying Orange."

Ad agency H2M says "Annoying Orange" creators Dane Boedigheimer and Spencer Grove stole the image and likeness of a talking orange character from a copyrighted H2M character called "The Talking Orange."

This begs the question: Orange they glad their talking orange idea caught on? Apparently not.

For Amy's Baking Co., 'Kitchen Nightmares' Turns All Too Real

For Amy's Baking Company, "Kitchen Nightmares" was just the beginning of a primetime public image nightmare from which the owners can't seem to rouse themselves.

Ever since the episode featuring the Scottsdale, Arizona, eatery aired May 10 on Fox, owners Salomon "Samy" and Amanda "Amy" Bouzaglo have had more than 1,000 rotten tomatoes digitally flung at them through scathing Yelp reviews. Even more "haters" (as Amy would call them) have taken to Facebook.

From tip theft to a public Facebook meltdown and claims of hacking, the Bouzaglos' business model is a recipe for disaster with a heaping side of legal ramifications.

This week's episode of "The Good Wife" gave viewers a good look at a key issue in legal ethics: the attorney-client privilege. But did Hollywood's depiction live up to reality?

Recap: 'Death of a Client'

The main storyline revolved around a rich (and, as Alicia described him, "very litigious") client who is shot and killed in broad daylight. Police ask for Alicia's help in finding her client's killer -- a request that takes on added urgency when police tell Alicia they have reason to believe the killer may be coming after her next.

Alicia's friend and prosecutor Laura Hellinger (played by Amanda Peet) tries to persuade Alicia to give up some information that may be helpful to the investigation by saying, "You know attorney-client privilege may be waived if the attorney's life is in danger."

But is that true?

Producers of the 2013 Grammy Awards are laying down the law when it comes to dress codes. Revealing clothes will not be allowed at the Grammy ceremony this Sunday.

CBS, which will air the Grammy Awards, has issued an advisory to all presenters, asking that they be adequately covered.

Specifically, the dress policy states that anyone appearing on camera should take care to cover their buttocks and breasts, E! Online reports.

Top 5 FCC Viewer Complaints About 'Saturday Night Live'

Do you still watch "Saturday Night Live"? Millions tune in to NBC's popular sketch-comedy show every weekend, but some don't like what they see. Many have even submitted complaints to the FCC.

A website called GovernmentAttic.org filed a Freedom of Information Act request to get copies of FCC viewer complaints about "SNL." They're worth a read, because some are pretty funny, as Gothamist recently pointed out.

But when the giggles died down, we found ourselves wondering, could these complaints actually get "SNL's" actors or producers in trouble? Think about that as we take you through the Top 5 categories of "SNL" viewer complaints:

For Rick Harrison of "Pawn Stars" fame, his third wedding will (hopefully) be the charm. But does he need a prenup?

It's been about a year since Harrison proposed to girlfriend DeAnne Burditt, but their wedding date and venue have finally been nailed down. Originally, the couple had planned a wedding in Las Vegas. But plans have changed, and now they'll tie the knot in California on July 21, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Harrison has been married twice before, and has three children from his previous marriages. So does he need a prenuptial agreement this time around?

Will Pic of Justin Bieber Smoking Pot Lead to Charges?

Looks like Justin Bieber's squeaky-clean image is falling apart, especially given the pictures that indicate the teen pop sensation was (gasp!) smoking pot.

Photographs of Bieber at a hotel-room party last week shows the Biebs sitting around with some friends and a few empty beer bottles. Keep in mind that Bieber is only 18, and the pictures were reportedly taken in Newport Beach, California, where the legal drinking age is 21.

But the question on everyone's mind is: What's in the cigarette that Justin Bieber is clearly holding between his fingers? Could its contents lead to an arrest?

NBC's David Gregory Under Fire for Gun Clip on 'Meet The Press'

NBC's David Gregory is coming under fire after he showed what appeared to be a 30-round gun clip on Sunday's "Meet The Press."

During an interview with the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre, Gregory displayed what looked to be a 30-bullet gun magazine. The interview was contentious, as Gregory pressed LaPierre about whether fewer children would have been killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre if the gunman hadn't had the ability to shoot so many bullets in rapid succession, Politico reports.

While Gregory tried to make a point with his prop, the "Meet The Press" moderator may potentially have violated the law as well. That's because Washington, D.C., has several laws in place that restrict the type of guns and ammunition that someone may possess, reports Politico. One of these restrictions prohibits 30-round gun magazines.

Elmo Puppeteer Kevin Clash Resigns After 2nd Sex Allegation

The voice and puppeteer behind "Sesame Street's" Elmo has resigned from the popular children's show, a little more than a week after child-sex allegations against him first came to light.

Kevin Clash, who was the subject of the documentary film "Being Elmo," was accused last week of having sex with a Pennsylvania man when the man was 16. Clash denied the allegation, and his accuser recanted the claim one day later, though he has since reverted to his original story, gossip website TMZ reports.

But now a new allegation has come up from a second accuser.

Jermaine Jackson Seeks Name Change to 'Jacksun'

Jermaine Jackson was one of the original "Jackson 5," and one of the lead singers with his brother Michael. But if he gets his way in court, he'll soon be Jermaine "Jacksun" instead.

Jackson (as we'll call him, since his last name hasn't legally changed yet), filed a petition in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday to change his name to "Jermaine Jacksun." When asked to elaborate on his choice, the musician only said it was for "artistic reasons," according to TMZ.

He may have to change that answer at the hearing about his name change, set for Feb. 22. His reasons, and a few other things, will be important to the court.
