Nicollette Sheridan's Court Appeal Rejected

Nicollette Sheridan was denied an appeal on Friday by the California Supreme Court. This development is the latest in an ongoing two year lawsuit that Sheridan started by claiming she was fired after complaining that the creator of Desperate Housewives, Marc Cherry, struck her on the head during an argument.

Her initial claims against Cherry have previously been dismissed and her case against ABC and it's producers ended in a mistrial. The actress then requested that the case be reheard, but that request was rejected.

After all that, the former Desperate Housewives star then appealed to the California Supreme Court, only to have her appeal denied during the week.

What do you think about the saga? Do you think there is truth to Sheridan's claims she was wrongfully fired?

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Filed Against Britney Spears

A lawsuit filed against Britney Spears and her parents by her ex-manager, Sam Lufti, has been dismissed by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. Lufti sued Britney and her parents, Jamie and Lynne, for battery, libel and breach of contract.

In a trial that lasted eight days, the former employee claimed he sustained immediate physical pain and and that his feelings were hurt in a 2008 altercation with Spears' father.

Lufti also claimed that he was defamed in Lynne Spears' 2008 memoir and was accused of manipulating the pop star. Lynne's attorney, Stephen Rohde, argued that if Britney's mother believed the things she had heard, which included Lufti crushing pills and medicating an unsuspecting Britney, then she could not be found to have been responsible for recklessly disregarding the truth.

It was also alleged by Lufti that Britney owed him back salary, but claim was refuted as there was no legal contract that entitled him to such money.

At the end of the trial, the judge dismissed the case. Despite Lufti telling reporters that he would appeal, Britney and her parents can breathe easy for now.

What do you think of the outcome? Are you Team Britney or do you think there's some truth to the allegations?
