The Popsquire Beat: June 30-July 4
The Popsquire Beat provides weekly briefs with the most entertaining pop culture/law collisions of the week!
First up, the Christie Brinkley divorce trial started this week with a bang. Actually 12 – that’s the number of times Peter Cook admitted to having sex with his 19-year-old assistant, Diana Bianchi. To show Bianchi he cared, Cook also would leave envelopes full of cash hidden around the office for her to find. Who is he…the tooth fairy?
Verne Troyer, aka Mini Me, sued TMZ for posting a snippet of his sex tape on web. A Los Angeles judge initially ordered TMZ to take the snippet down. Then, after learning that Mini Me’s girlfriend created the tape and gave TMZ permission to post the snippet, the judge approved putting the snippet back up. Is Popsquire the only one who’s uncomfortable talking about Mini Me’s snippet going up and down?
And, Lindsay Lohan, who celebrated her 22nd birthday this week, will not be getting a birthday card from Popsquire this year. There were no car crashes, DUIs, lawsuits, or stolen fur coats. Instead, Lindsay had a small, private party at the Roosevelt hotel without any incident. Who does that??!
Have a good holiday weekend. Please don’t drink and drive.
