So this morning we learned that Warren St. John's non-relative Ron St. John is suing the Times reporter for putting a photo of Ron's RV, nicknamed "The Toad," on the cover of his Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer paperback and, in some doing, somehow behaved in ways that "are atrocious and utterly intolerable in civilized society." Among the several fun things about this case — the complaint itself, from which we quoted this morning; the fact that Ron's lawyer is named "Cracker" Waldrop — is Ron's personal website, Toadstuff.com, which features prominently on its front page the book cover that has so inflamed his delicate sensibilities.

We were advised Friday afternoon that we might want to check out a certain lawsuit filed in the U.S. district court for the northern district of Alabama. At the end of the day Friday, we got our hands on the relevant complaint. And it turns out that stylish Time style reporter Warren St. John has been sued.

Bruce Ratner is happily bulldozing his way through Brooklyn, molding Marty Markowitz's borough to his whims. Nothing can stand in his way; nothing can stop him. Well, only one thing, according to the Sun: Fake email.

A few months ago Britney Spears announced she was suing Us Weekly for libel over the magazine's report that this refined lady and her debonair husband had made a sex tape and then screened it with their attorney.

Last week we took a look at axed Men's Journal editor Michael Caruso's wrongful-termination lawsuit against Wenner Media and were distracted by his generous compensation plan. Now that we've processed that though, we can examine his actual case. Caruso charges the Wenner meddled in the management of his magazine — Jann Wenner? Meddling? No way! — and then fired him for no reason. So, what was the nature of Wenner's interference?
