  • Salma Hayek Granted Restraining Order Against Lesbian Stalker Couple

    Salma Hayek was granted a restraining order on Friday against lesbian couple Liana Philippon and Odette Bodagh, now exes, who stalked and impersonated her.

    Philippon and Bodagh went so far as to move to Los Angeles to be closer to Salma Hayek after Bodagh’s marriage fell apart due to her obsession with the actress.

    Salma Hayek‘s legal team stated in court documents, “This case arised out of a bizarre pattern of behavior by two apparently mentally disturbed individuals.”

    They went on to say, “Their actions include, among others, concocting ruses to meet Hayek’s family members to obtain Hayek’s contact information, impersonating Hayek to another celebrity, attempting to directly contact Hayek herself, and impersonating Hayek in contacting Hayek’s minor child.”

    It gets wierder as the document went on to claim, “In one communication while posing as Hayek, Philippon made a veiled threat regarding kidnapping and ransoming Hayek’s minor child.”

    Bodagh was the only one to appear in court on Friday. During proceedings, Bodagh expressed regret, tearfully saying, “I thought there was a relationship. I was under the impression I was talking to Salma.”

    She added, “I am so sorry I did it.”

    Well, at least Salma Hayek shouldn’t have to worry about these two disturbed ladies for a while. However, her co-stars can sometimes be a different matter.

    On Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Salma Hayek admitted that her Desperado co-star, Antonio Banderas, gave her two monkeys as a gift.

    Salma Hayek said, “I had fallen in love with these two monkeys that were supposed to be in the movie and then they got cut out.”

    Therefore, as a gesture of friendship Bandera gave her both monkeys, which she named Mariachi and Catalina after their characters in the movie.

    “Mariachi was so nice to me. He was kind of in love with me,” said Hayek. “Catalina was jealous. That witch was awful to me. She was so possessive … So we had a little bit of a triangle.”

    Yikes. Salma Hayek and love triangles. I’m not sure which one is more weird.

  • Salma Hayek: Judge Grants Restraining Order Against Two Female Stalkers

    Salma Hayek can breathe a little easier now that her request for a restraining order has been granted.

    In court on Friday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carol Boas Goodson granted the restraining order to Salma Hayek against two women who were found to be stalking her and who had even made veiled threats to kidnap her seven-year-old daughter, Valentina.

    Liana Philippon and Odette Bodagh stand accused of impersonating Salma Hayek, in two cases in particular: once to another celebrity and another time to Salma Hayek’s daughter.

    The court filing by Salma Hayek‘s legal team stated, “This case arised out of a bizarre pattern of behavior by two apparently mentally disturbed individuals. Their actions include, among others, concocting ruses to meet Hayek’s family members to obtain Hayek’s contact information, impersonating Hayek to another celebrity, attempting to directly contact Hayek herself, and impersonating Hayek in contacting Hayek’s minor child.”

    It continued, “In one communication while posing as Hayek, Philippon made a veiled threat regarding kidnapping and ransoming Hayek’s minor child.”

    Oh, but it gets stranger.

    According to one of Salma Hayek’s stalkers, she had no idea she was frightening the object of her obsession and actually thought they had a relationship.

    In fact, the two women reportedly moved to Los Angeles to be closer to Salma Hayek after Odette Bodagh’s marriage fell apart because of her obsession with Hayek.

    During the hearing, Bodagh reportedly begged the judge not to go through with the ruling as it would affect her career.

    However, the judge stated, “You have, even by mistake, become a stalker.”

    What do you think of this case, which must have been terrifying to Salma Hayek?

  • 50 Cent Now Ordered To Pay Even More, Despite Filing For Bankruptcy

    50 Cent said he had a decent legal team, but he may be wondering that now. After 50 Cent took the shrewd measure of filing bankruptcy in Connecticut to protect himself from being sued into the poor house, a jury just added insult to injury and upped the amount he was ordered to pay his opponent in a lawsuit.

    50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was accused of invading Lastonia Leviston’s privacy by posting a sex tape of her and her boyfriend, with his own narration edited over top of it. Leviston was a former girlfriend of Rick Ross, 50 Cent’s rap rival. On the tape, 50 Cent can be heard taunting Ross.

    The jury was not impressed, first ordering 50 Cent to pay Leviston $5 million, now adding another $2 million to that total.

    50 Cent’s attorney responded to the bad news, saying, “Although we appreciate the jury’s service, we are disappointed in the result. Our client intends to file post-verdict, pre-judgment motions which we believe should reduce the size of the award. Ultimately, the fate of any obligation to pay a final judgment will be determined by the bankruptcy court.”

    When news broke two weeks ago that 50 Cent was filing bankruptcy, fans thought that meant he was broke. Far from it.

    “I’m taking the precautions that any other good businessperson would take in this situation,” 50 Cent said about his filing. “You know when you’re successful and stuff, you become a target. I don’t wanna be a bullseye. I don’t want anybody to pick me as the guy that they just come to with astronomical claims and go through all that.”

    50 Cent even joked about his bankruptcy himself.

    Times are hard out here LMAO #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO

    “Walt Disney has filed bankruptcy. Donald Trump has filed bankruptcy,” 50 Cent explained. “It means you’re reorganizing your finances, but it does stop things from moving forward that you don’t want moving forward.”

    “I got a decent legal team,” he assured fans. “You don’t have to worry.”

    Whether 50 Cent will have to pay anywhere near the sum the jury awarded Leviston remains to be seen.

  • Lastonia Leviston to Get $2 Million More from 50 Cent

    Lastonia Leviston will get an additional $2 million more than expected from 50 Cent, as part of money awarded to her from his posting her sex tape online.

    On Friday, a Manhattan jury said 50 Cent should pay Lastonia Leviston $2 million in punitive damages on top of the $5 million she was already awarded.

    “I’ve been served justice by the courts and vindicated by God,” Leviston said.

    50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, wasn’t in court on Friday.

    “I hope he learned a lesson,” Lastonia Leviston said.

    Of course one might wonder whether she learned a lesson, too, of course. The scenario sort of begs the question, should she have made a sex tape?

    Lastonia Leviston’s lawyer asked for $15 million in punitive damages earlier on Friday. And while she received a far cry less than that, she still seemed satisfied. 50 Cent’s lawyer only wanted to pay out $700,000.

    Fitty made several claims of poverty during the trial, but it is clear the jurors didn’t buy them. He even filed for bankruptcy earlier in July.

    “He has it. He’s 50 Cent. You know he has more than 50 cents,” juror Sylvia Rodriguez said.

    “I don’t think he’s broke,” she added. “If anything he has it hidden.”

    Fifty Cent appeared in court on Tuesday, and tried to share his humorous side. The jurors weren’t buying that either.

    “I don’t think he was taking it seriously,” Rodriguez said. “He was winking at one of us, and then he just ran out of the courtroom. That wasn’t necessary.”

    Lastonia Leviston said she hoped the verdict would teach the rapper that “you can’t be mean and cruel to people.”

    James Renard, who is one of Fitty’s attorneys, was disappointed in the verdict.

    “Although we appreciate the jury’s service, we are disappointed in the result,” he said. “Our client intends to file post-verdict, pre-judgment motions which we believe should reduce the size of the award.”

    Do you think Lastonia Leviston was awarded a reasonable amount of money from a man who posted her sex tape on the internet?
