Poor TNN... First Spike Lee, now a stripper
http://tv.yahoo.com/news/ap/20030709/105776100000.html
Ex-Stripper Sues Pam Anderson Over Show Wednesday July 9 7:30 AM ET A former stripper is demanding an end to the new cable television show "Stripperella," an animated series featuring Pamela Anderson as the voice of a stripper who moonlights as a superhero. Janet Clover, 37, filed suit Monday against Anderson and comic book legend Stan Lee, who created "Stripperella" as well as "Spider-Man" and "The Hulk." Also named as defendants are Viacom TV Networks doing business as TNN. Clover claims she is Stripperella's "true creator," according to the lawsuit filed in Daytona Beach circuit court. Clover, an unemployed Palm Coast resident who identifies herself in the lawsuit as "Sensual Entertainer's Home Studio Founder," said she wrote and filed the suit without the advice or assistance of an attorney. "This office challenges Lee to produce proof of his creative work, as true authorship belongs to Tanga's Jazz," she wrote, referring to an adult club in Tampa where she claims she asked Lee about the concept of Stripperella a year ago during a private dance session. "Evidence to support is available upon request," she wrote. Viacom officials in New York referred comment to media spokesman Robert Pini in Los Angeles, but he did not return several phone messages. Anderson's agent, Hedda Moye of Los Angeles, declined to comment. "I'm just trying to get this off TV because it's not his idea," Clover told The Daytona Beach News-Journal. "She was supposed to be a nurse, which is what I'm studying for. I can't remember much about Mr. Lee, little bits and pieces come back. You know, I meet a lot of men." "Stripperella" first aired last Thursday on TNN, which is being renamed Spike TV. Viacom is the cable network's parent company. ___ Information from: The Daytona Beach News-Journal, http://www.news-journalonline.com What's next? |

Anybody think lawyers will sue over Gary the Rat hitting too close to home? :) |
The only thing stupider than this lawsuit is the show itself.

TNN is getting a lot of heat with so many law suits. Wonder who will sue TNN next?
|
My cat's name is Stimpy. I'm suing :D
|
I watched Ren & Stimpy that first week and I'm suing to get 30 minutes of my life back.
|
The funny thing is, I know for a fact that Stan has been trying to get Stripperella off the ground for years, all the way back to his aborted website comic experiment.
It doesn't help that Clover's stripper was supposed to be a nurse which isn't even close to what the cartoon is about. D |
I don't even understand the lawsuit? True ownership belongs to Tanga's Jazz? Is that her name? Is she suing on behalf of someone else?
Then she says that the main character was supposed to be a nurse? Isn't the main character a stripper who is also a superhero? If the character was instead a nurse, isn't that a different concept? It's not exactly a high concept, either, where it's difficult to believe that more than one person could come up with this premise. A stripper superhero. How unique. And I'm sure Stan's name is on it just to get comicbook fans. This'll get thrown out, and TNN/Spike will just get more publicity... |
In a related story The WB Network is suing the producers of "Ren & Stimpy" for the brutal death of their beloved frog.

TNN/Spike might as well just change their name to "Court TV."

Maybe if TNN should have worried more about bringing good entertainment to their network they could have avoided situations like this.
|
Someone needs to tell this lady that as the accusing party, she has to provide proof. Stan Lee doesn't have to give jack unless she can prove her case convincingly. I find it very interesting that her "proof" is only available "on request."
|
Frivolous to the extreme. And pathetic as usual.

LAWYER: So tell us what happened.
JANET: I was giving Stan Lee a lap dance, and I told him about my idea... and he stole it! LAWYER: What was your idea? JANET: Is was about a nurse. LAWYER: Umm, a nurse? JANET: Yeah, I was training to be a nurse. LAWYER: But Stripperella is a stripper, not a nurse... JANET: Yeah, but I was a stripper. LAWYER: So it's your idea, because you were a stripper that had an idea about a superhero nurse? JANET: Not a superhero nurse. Just a nurse. He came up with the superhero part. LAWYER: So you pitched a nurse story? That's totally different! JANET: Yeah, and that's another part of my complaint. He totally changed my idea. It's nothing like it used to be. |
A story about a stripper and nobody's said "Pics?" yet!?! This obviously isn't the Otter.
Then again, given what this woman looks like, maybe you all knew something I didn't: http://www.n-jcenter.com/downloads/709lee.jpg |
HOLY HELL! WTF is that! :yack:
Forget Stripperella, she has a better chance of suing Lee over being a muse for one of his mutants. Or suing TNN over too many chairshots to the face. |
:yack: :yack:
Ugh, she's fugly |
No wonder she's suing. There's no way she's making good money stripping.
|
I'm looking for the Adam's Apple. Still not finding it... but it's gotta be there.
|
Wow - the first stripper I'd pay to KEEP her clothes on.
|
Stan Lee can afford better lookin' hoes than that!
