The mission, should Tom Cruise and company have chosen to accept it, was to come out on top this weekend at the box office, despite the presence of a certain damaged girl with a certain well-known tattoo. And Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol – one of Cruise’s best-ever reviewed films – accomplished this goal with ease, earning $26.5 million on Friday and Saturday.

Lady Gaga Sued By Bitter Former Assistant

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The new poster child for frivolous lawsuits, Lady Gaga ‘s former assistant claims she was a slave to the music superstar and demands compensation as a result. Jennifer O’Neill claims she was burdened by onerous tasks such as fetching a towel for Gaga after she showered, and keeping the Lady on a tight schedule! She claims she is owed $380,000 in overtime (7,168 hours over 13 months, or $53 an hour) that she was never paid by a touring company hired by the star. O’Neill claims she had to cater to Gaga in “stadiums, private jets, fine hotel suites, yachts, ferries, trains and tour buses” and “required to be at Gaga’s beck and call.” Isn’t that what a personal assistant does? O’Neill was technically en employee of the touring company, not Gaga, so the singer is not personally liable regardless of the overtime compensation claim. In any event, Lady Gaga’s rep told the New York Post the lawsuit is “completely without merit,” and we would have to guess that the rep is correct. [Photo: WENN.com]
