Emmy Rossum hosted the branch launch of PiNKiTUDE, a brand inspired by MGM’s “Pink Panther” with a percentage of proceeds going towards Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a worldwide breast cancer organization.

Emmy, who starred in movies such as “Phantom of the Opera” and “The Day After Tomorrow” and is a Golden Globe-nominated actress, was motivated to become spokesperson after her Godmother was diagnosed with cancer and “everything changed.” Emmy, who released her first album “Inside Out” last year, also recorded the song “Why oh Why” for the organization. Emmy spoke of her personal family experience, and how PiNKiTUDE is an important organization for getting information about breast cancer out. Her speech was short, sweet, and sincere, and she has said of Pinkitude,

As a young woman whose family has personally been affected by breast cancer, I am grateful for the opportunity to help raise awareness of this disease by sharing my ‘PiNKiTUDE’ with young women everywhere. I hope to inspire women like myself to practice breast self-awareness and to encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle. I am proud to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure and their promise to end breast cancer forever.

The party itself was very relaxed, with people of all ages and style in attendance. Aside from Emmy, stars such as Tamara Mowry and Verne Troyer made an appearance; there were also a few supporting actors such as Rex Lee (Lloyd) from Entourage who came to support the cause. The DJs were Sean Patrick and Spinderella, who both spun a solid set of music.

PiNKiTUDE is consisted of multiple products and brands to target young women and teens to raise awareness of the importance of breast self-examination for catching breast cancer early, while also promoting healthy lifestyles. It’s a mix of top designers and the entertainment industry in an effort to get the word about breast cancer awareness out.

The brand will be available starting August 16th; LA store XIN will become the “PiNKiTUDE Store by XIN” for one month, with a part of the store being dedicated to PiNKiTUDE for one year after, during which time a percentage of the proceeds from the brand will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization.

One of the themes is that “Pinkitude is fashion with compassion and attitude!” Keep an eye out for Pinkitude in stores, and show your support for finding a cure for breast cancer.

In papers filed in federal court yesterday Verne Troyer, who is 2′8″ and weights 40 lbs., is accusing his ex, aspiring actress Ranae Shrider, who is 5′5″ and 110 lbs, of intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery. Troyer is asking for $20 million in damages.

Troyer says his ex-girlfriend once picked the lock to his bedroom, pushed away his 100 lb scooter that was used to block the door and threw him to the ground.

Ed McPherson, a lawyer for Troyer, told TMZ that “when you pick up a 2 foot, 8 inch human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts.”

Troyer feared for his safety and “did not want to go into his own home without having someone else accompanying him,” according to the court documents. The papers describe one instance in which “Shrider grabbed [Troyer] very forcefully by the arm, held him against his will, and did not let him get away from her.”

Responding to Troyer’s lawsuit, Shrider released a statement late yesterday afternoon.

“This law suit is ridiculous and riddled with lie upon lie from Verne Troyer and his camp. It is in our opinion a transparent attempt to secure as much publicity as he can from his less then average career in the wake of his most recent failure in The Love Guru.”

“The only abuse that ever occurred in their household was that of emotional abuse inflicted upon Ranae and her dog Lacy on the occasions when he hit Ranae and her dog with his ‘reaching sticks’ or kicked them when having one of his drunken rages.

“This alleged abuse certainly has not seemed to affect his recent round of interviews or his golf swing over the weekend. Is this not the same man who is renowned as a professional stuntman in all his movies?”

This lawsuit comes after Shrider admitted that she leaked footage of their sex tape.

Troyer recently told Us Weekly about the humiliation he experienced after the footage surfaced.

“I put all the trust in her,” Troyer told Us. “She kept the tape in her camera on top of the closet where I couldn’t even reach it!”

Asked how he feels about Shrider, he told Us: “Hate is a good word.”

Troyer next stars in “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” with Johnny Depp and Jude Law.

Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me) is suing TMZ  for $20 million for releasing a clip of his sex tape.

Troyer claims that the video was stolen and some how ended up in the hands of Kevin Blatt.  Blatt, the same man responsible for releasing Paris Hilton’s sex tape, was reportedly trying to sell Troyer’s tape for $100k and is named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit.

Verne Troyer was granted an injunction that bars any further distribution of  the video to prevent TMZ from showing anymore clips.  Troyer claims that the video will cause “irreparable harm to his reputation” and his publicist, Melissa Bergera, says  that, “Mr. Troyer is extremely distraught by the recent exploitation of his private life.”  A federal judge has also issued a temporary restraining order against TMZ, causing them to remove the sex tape clip from their website.

It’s a good thing that the judge issued an injunction, I think that anyone who watched the full tape would have been scarred for life.

Verne Troyer, or as most of us know him Mini-Me, has made a sex tape.

Clips of the tape, which features Troyer’s ex-girlfriend, have surfaced throughout the Internet. TMZ says,

Yes, that’s Mini-Me Verne Troyer in a sex tape shot with his former girlfriend at the couple’s apartment. A third party has snatched up the tape and although no deal has been made, we hear dealer Kevin Blatt, who brokered the deal for Paris’ video, is entertaining a $100k offer from SugarDVD to distribute the nastiness.

Well here it is for your viewing pleasure, a clip of Mini-Me making love. Viewer disgusted
discretion advised!

That’s just wrong!!
