Keifer Bonvillain is asking for $180 million in restitution in a lawsuit that he filed on Tuesday, October 21 against Oprah Winfrey, her lawyer and the FBI.

Bonvillain claims that Oprah gave ‘false statements’ that led to his arrest in December 2006.  Allegedly, Bonvillain recorded telephone conversations of an employee of Oprah’s production company and then told an associate of the company that he planned to publish a book based on the recordings.  He claimed that he had offers that ranged from $500,000 to $3 million from publishers.

Bonvillain was arrested for extortion after agreeing to accept $1.5 million to turn the recordings over to one of Oprah’s associates.

The charges against Bonvillain were dismissed in 2007, but Bonvillain was still required to complete 50 hours of community service, take a drug test and pay $3000 in restitution.

Bonvillain stated, “There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level.  The extent of my damages is vast.”

Harpo Productions lawyer, Chip Babcock said, “And we know that this whole episode started when the plaintiff wiretapped a Harpo employee in California.  We advised (Bonvillain) that we believe that wiretapping was illegal, and this case will give us an opportunity to determine whether we were right about that.”

$180 million….This guy must be crazy!  I don’t think there is anyone out there who’s name and reputation is worth $180 million.  What do you think?

Three men involved in Lindsay Lohan’s DUI bust back in July 2007 have filed suit against the washed up star.  Remember when she went crazy and carjacked that SUV and chased her recently fired assistant?  Yea, well I guess the three guys that were IN the car when she took it are not pleased and are seeking restitution.

They are seeking damages to the tune of $25,000.00 for, get this, battery, false imprisonment, and they claim the ‘Mean Girls’ star was negligent when she took them on that wild ride.

Lohan’s attorney, Ed McPherson, called the lawsuit “absurd.” He says the men were having fun during the chase and questioned why they waited more than a year to file suit.  Yea, that’s what I was thinking…

“It just doesn’t make sense,” McPherson said. “They had ample opportunity to get out of the car.  It’s three guys who want to get a lot of headlines,” he said, “and want to make some money.”

Lohan is also being sued for emotional distress by a woman who was in the car that was being chased by the actress.

Oh, Lindsay.  You are one hot mess!

If you do not recall, Lindsay chased down her former assistant’s mother all the way to the police station–landing Lohan in the slammer.  The cops suspected that Lindsay was on the sauce and booked her for DUI.  The panties flasher eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine. She served 84 minutes in jail and entered rehab.

Flight attendant for NetJet, Lisa Wilson, is suing Jennifer Lopez for $5 million for the alleged injuries that she received from Lopez’s dog during a 2006 flight.

The suit states that Lopez boarded the NetJet plane with a German Shepard guard dog and gave Wilson instructions as how to behave around it during flight. An hour and half later, as Wilson was walking down the aisle, the dog lunged at her for no reason and bit her pant leg, causing her to fall backwards and sustain injury to her back, which apparently has prevented her from getting further work.

Within days, Wilson sought treatment for her back and underwent surgery in 2007.

Wilson claims that Lopez, “knew or should have known that the animal had vicious propensities.” The flight attendant is seeking damages from both Lopez and her production company.

Lopez had no comment on the suit.

The Hogan family has been slapped with a major civil lawsuit regarding the car crash that Nick Bollea got into August of last year.

Bollea was street racing his 1998 Toyota Supra against his silver Dodge Viper which was driven by his friend, Daniel Jacobs. Report said that Bollea was driving over 60mph in a 40mph zone and had been drinking heavily earlier that day. The lawsuit was filed by Bollea’s passenger, John Graziano, who is still in critical condition.

The lawsuit filed in Clearwater by John Graziano’s attorneys cites one count of negligence against Hogan’s son, Nick Bollea, three counts of negligence against Terry Bollea (Hogan), one against Linda Bollea (Bollea’s mother and Hogan’s wife) and a final count against Daniel Jacobs, the driver of the Dodge Viper.

Graziano who was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, suffered serious head wounds, was left in a semiconscious state and his family says he will require medical care for the rest of his life. An attorney says millions of dollars will be sought.

One media mogul of a woman slapped with two separate lawsuits all just this week. One was filed by an audience member of the Oprah Winfrey Show who was injured when the excited audience members stampeded into the auditorium to get their choice seats during a taping. The second was filed by a Boston mother who claims that she fed Harpo Studios the idea of Oprah’s new television show, Oprah’s Big Give, and has yet to get credit or compensation.

The first suit by the audience member was filed in Chicago’s Cook’s County Circuit Court (I dare you to say that 5x fast) by Orit Greenberg who is seeking at least $50,000 in medical fees and other damages because she says she has suffered “severe and permanent injuries.”

I’m saying only $50k for permanent and severe injuries?! Come’on girl–you can dream bigger than that! If I had permanent injuries cuz they couldn’t do some crowd control…hmmmm…I’m thinking at leat a mil, no?

The suit blames Harpo for the incident, saying the company failed to exercise adequate crowd control measures and was careless to allow energetic women to battle it out out for the perfect seats.

As for the second suit, filed by Darlene Tracy, who claims that she pitched a reality show back in February of 2005, called The Philanthropist, to Ellen Rakieten and Jennifer Thornton (the executive producer and a producer of Winfrey’s daytime talk show). The idea? Contestants would be judged on their ability to help those less fortunate.

So, about a year & a half later, in November 2006, Winfrey announced her plans for a show with a similar concept—way too similar for Tracy’s liking! Tracy filed a complaint in Boston’s U.S. District Court to prevent the Big Give from airing, though a judge quickly dismissed the filing after Winfrey’s lawyers argued that Massachusetts wasn’t the place to embark on the legal battle. Recently, Tracy filed an appeal, which includes documentation of her correspondence with the Oprah Winfrey Show producers.

For the first case, a Harpo rep told E! News on Friday that the company does not comment on pending litigation.

But for the second, a Harpo rep went on to say that Winfrey’s team was “confident that the Court of Appeals will agree that Tracy has no claim.”

Big money usually wins, so whether these chicks are right or wrong, I’m betting it’ll likely go in O’s favor–at least the 2nd lawsuit for sure seems unlikely to get a win…

Sonja Norwood, R& B singer Brandy Norwood’s mom, has filed a lawsuit against the E! reality star Kim Kardashian for spending $120k on her AmEx card.

The suit claims that back in 2005, when Kim was Brandy’s stylist, she gave Kim her card to make one purchase, and one purchase only, on the card on her behalf. Apparently, Kim didn’t understand what one purchase meant, and gave the card to her brother, Rob, and her two sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, to use and make purchases on as well.

There were purchases on there even from their own stores, Dash and Smooch.

The suit claims that in 2006 they racked up $62,793.83 in unauthorized charges. And, in 2007, they blew another $57,841.82. Totalling… drum roll please…a wopping $120,635.65

Kim spoke to People magazine and claims that the charges are untrue. “We have her signature on all items,” Kardashian told the outlet.

Norwood wants the six figures recompensated and for Kim to pay punitive and exemplary damages.
