EXCLUSIVE: Jon Gosselin’s Attorney Calls Kate Major Lawsuit A Joke
Posted on Nov 19, 2009 @ 09:09PM - 314 comments
If Jon Gosselin is sweating a possible lawsuit from his former fling Kate Major, he’s not showing it.
In fact, Gosselin’s attorney, Mark Heller, told RadarOnline.com exclusively that he thinks the entire case (Major is considering suing the reality dad for breach of contract, fraud and loss of wages) is a joke.

“Kate knows Jon Gosselin is like Obama’s stimulus package,” Heller told RadarOnline.com on Thursday. “Every time she needs money, she cashes in on the few days she knew Jon Gosselin.”
Heller is, of course, referring to the handwritten agreement obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com and signed by both Jon and Kate 2.0, in which Major agreed to quit her job and go work for Gosselin as his personal assistant.

Heller confirmed that the document is real, however he says it has no legal value.
“It holds as much order as a six-inch pail with a nine-inch hole,” he told RadarOnline.com. “It will not serve for the basis of any litigation. Anybody who would seek to file a lawsuit based on that document would be sanctioned. Her lawyer was very cautious in his language when he said ‘possible’ [breach of contract lawsuit]. Clearly he has no options concerning that matter.”
Kate Major Retains Lawyer To Sue Jon Gosselin
RadarOnline.com spoke to Major’s attorney, Ben Pietra, on Wednesday, who confirmed that the former entertainment magazine reporter had retained his services for a “possible breach of contract lawsuit against Jon Gosselin.”
A well-placed source told RadarOnline.com that Kate and Jon spent a weekend in a hotel where they drew up the contract. Kate had just resigned from her position as an entertainment magazine reporter, and according to the source, “Jon told her he would match the salary she was making at the magazine if she came to work for him as his personal employee.”

EXCLUSIVE: Father Of Michael Jackson Accuser Committed Suicide
Posted on Nov 17, 2009 @ 06:52PM - 110 comments
The father of a boy who sued Michael Jackson and accused him of sexual molestation died by committing suicide, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Evan Chandler, formerly a Beverly Hills dentist, shot himself in the head. He was found dead in Jersey City, N.J.
Jersey City Police Department spokesman Stan Eason told RadarOnline.com: “Evan Chandler’s body was found at 5.35 pm on November 5 by the concierge at his luxury apartment building in Jersey City. We have ruled it as suicide because he was found with a gun held to his body and had a single bullet wound to the side of his head. Mr. Chandler was 65.
EXCLUSIVE: Father of Michael Jackson Molestation Accuser Dead
“There was no note found in the apartment but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition. A doctor based at Colanta Hematology in Bayonne, NJ, had called the concierge, asking him check on Mr. Chandler’s apartment as Mr. Chandler had missed an appointment. It was thanks to the concierge’s actions that Mr. Chandler’s body was discovered. Mr. Chandler’s body has now been returned to his family.”
In the early 1990s, Chandler reported Jackson to authorities in both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, charging the King of Pop with molesting his son, then 13.

The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office launched a 13-month probe into the allegations and convened a grand jury to look into the sexual abuse charges.
In 1994, the boy gave police audio-taped evidence alleging abuse by Jackson. The boy and his father also brought a civil lawsuit against Jackson.

But the case never went to trial because the boy received a civil settlement for “personal injuries arising out of claims of negligence” from the superstar.

ONLY ON RADAR: Mike Tyson Attorney's Exclusive Statement Reveals New Facts Surrounding Arrest
Posted on Nov 13, 2009 @ 05:00PM - 4 comments
Mike Tyson's legal ace, attorney Shawn Chapman Holley has released a statement exclusively to RadarOnline.com revealing new details of the incident that led to her client's arrest after an altercation with a photographer.
The former heavyweight boxing champion was aggressively pursued by a photographer who bumped the stroller of Tyson's baby and ignored orders by airport personnel to leave Tyson alone.
PHOTOS: Tyson Driven Away After Alleged Assault
Holley told RadarOnline.com: "Wednesday afternoon at approximately 3:30 pm, Mike Tyson, his wife, mother-in-law, assistant and 10-month-old baby daughter were walking through the United terminal at LAX, following an eleven-hour flight.
"Mr. Tyson and his family were without security and attempting to make a connecting flight when they were aggressively approached by a paparazzo intent on provoking and harassing them. The paparazzo repeatedly refused to comply with the orders and directives of airport personnel to leave the family alone and continued to aggressively pursue the Tyson family--at one point colliding with the baby's stroller.
"There are numerous witnesses to the paparazzo's provocative and unlawful conduct which culminated in his assault on Mr. Tyson and Mr. Tyson's responsive act in defense of his family. Mr. Tyson cooperated with law enforcement authorities and demanded that a citizen's arrest be made against the paparazzo.
"Mr. Tyson remains confident that this matter will be appropriately addressed as the witnesses are interviewed and the facts borne out."

This has been a difficult year for Tyson as he lost his four-year-old daughter, Exodus Tyson in May 2009 to a freak accident in which she was strangled by a cord attached to a treadmill at her mother's home.
LAX has become a battleground between celebrities and photographers. Last year Kanye West and his manager were involved in an altercation with several paps. Criminal charges were filed against West and his manager, Don Crawley. Crawley was repped by Tyson's attorney, and all charges against both were ultimately dismissed.
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Cindy Crawford Target of Extortion Scheme
Posted on Nov 12, 2009 @ 06:55PM - 4 comments
Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber recently got disturbing news regarding a plot involving their then seven-year old daughter.
Read The Official Documents Here
In documents filed on Thursday by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office in the U.S. District Court, the couple is revealed to be the targets of a extortion scheme.
Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of the couple's former nanny, apparently threatened to sell a photo of the couple's daughter. In the photo, the young girl is bound to a chair in revealing clothing and also gagged.
EXCLUSIVE: George Clooney and Cindy Crawford’s Double Date
On July 13 around 7 p.m., the couple received a phone call from Kayalar (who initially identified himself as “Brian”) during which he claimed to have stolen the picture from their former nanny and wanted to return it because it “bothered” him and it “just wasn’t right.”
A few hours later, he called back asking Gerber to meet him at a bar and also mentioned he was “broke” and would like monetary compensation as a reward for returning the photo.

Crawford's spokeswoman Annett Wolf issued a statement saying Crawford had no knowledge of the photo and that the photo was taken as part of a game. According to the documents, the nanny- who had been fired a week before Kayalar’s phone call- said the photo was taken as a prank. She was going to put it on the family’s front door as a joke but decided against it in the end.
“The victims have since learned from their daughter that the nanny took the photograph as a part of a purported ‘cops and robbers’ game,” the court papers stated.

Gerber eventually gave Kayalar $1,000 in cash for the image but Kayalar continued to ask for more money for copies he made of the photo. He later asked for as much as $100,000 (later upped to 100,000 euros) as a payoff for not releasing the photo to the media.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Kayalar “has not been arrested” and authorities believe he is in Germany. On September 16th he was arrested for an immagration violation and shortley deported back to Germany.

“Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.”

The court file also reveals that CBS has admitted to TLC Jon was paid to appear recently on two of their programs – also a violation of his contract.

In h is affidavit Sabin also says that Jon refused to cooperate with TLC’s filming schedule and that on the day the network decided to change the show, Jon’s lawyer demanded release from the exclusivity provision of the contract but still wanted to be paid.
“Mr. Heller informed TLC’s representative that if this release was not forthcoming within an hour, Mr. Gosselin would object in public fashion to any further filming of his children.”
The preliminary injunction sought by TLC would prevent Jon from violating the exclusivity, non-endorsement, confidentiality, and publicity provisions of his contract with TLC.

Joe Jackson is jumping on the Michael Jackson money bandwagon, becoming the latest in a line of many to file a claim against his late son’s estate.

Joe says that his monthly expenses total $15, 425, including $2,500 dining expenses, $2,000 air travel, $3,000 hotel bills, $1,000 groceries, $1,200 rent and $50 charitable contributions.

Joe claims the estate has netted more than $100 million in the first seven weeks following his son’s death and that it is”well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson”.
Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys for John Branca and John McClain the Special Administrators for Michael Jackson's Estate in response to Joe Jackson's request for an allowance stated, "The Special Administrators have been made aware that Joe Jackson filed papers asking to be paid a family allowance from the Estate. It was quite surprising to learn of the request. Mr. Jackson's petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael's Estate."
