Wow-Actress Huong Hoang suing IMDb for revealing age identifies herself


Wow-Actress Huong Hoang suing IMDb for revealing age identifies herself


Junie Hoang

AN actress suing Amazon's Internet Movie Database (IMDb) website for revealing her age has identified herself in an amended complaint filed Friday.
Huong Hoang, of Texas, filed her suit in October as "Jane Doe," claiming that the only way IMDb could have found out her real age was if it had used her credit card details, obtained when she purchased an "industry insider" package from the website in the hope of gaining more work. The 40-year-old actress - who goes by the stage name Junie Hoang - claimed she has since lost out on work opportunities due to Hollywood's stigma against older actresses and is seeking more than $1 million in damages.The B-grade actress has appeared in TV shows 1000 Ways to Die and Operation Repo and in the movies Gingerbread Man 3 and Saturday Night Cleaver. She filed the suit anonymously because she feared blacklisting and retribution if her identity was known, according to The Hollywood Reporter.However, Judge Marsha Pechman ruled in December that Ms Hoang had to refile the lawsuit under her own name or the case would be dismissed.
"We are very disappointed that the judge required the plaintiff to identify herself by name," Ms Hoang's attorney John Dozier told entertainment news website on Friday.


Why-Bra-size name tag 'outrage' headed to court


A complaint from a former lingerie shop employee upset at being forced to wear a name tag displaying her bra size has prompted a Swedish union to file a discrimination lawsuit against the company that runs the store. In November last year, the shop assistant complained that she was uncomfortable displaying her bra size during her shifts at the Gothenburg outlet of Scandinavian-owned lingerie company ‘Change’.Following the complaint, the Commercial Employees' Union (Handelsanställdas förbund - Handels) announced on Tuesday it was filing a lawsuit demanding the company pay 300,000 kronor ($43,410) in compensation to the former employee.“We don’t feel that it’s any help to see the size of someone’s breasts. We don’t see the connection at all,” the union’s press secretary Kristina Jogestrand told The Local.“You can be a confident, secure woman without having to showing the size of your breasts for all to see.”
The lawsuit argues that requiring employees to display their bra sizes is a breach of discrimination laws and the union's collective wage agreement.“Our union member has experienced something offensive and discomforting in the wearing of such badges. For her, bust size is deeply personal,” union spokesperson Jannika Fahlander said in a statement.

In addition to compensation for the disgruntled employee, the union is also seeking 100,000 kronor from the company for what the union argues is a breach of the collective agreement.
The bra-size name tags, which displayed both the employee’s bust circumference and cup size, had been introduced to the company three years ago to aid customers by showing them what size might be right for what body shape.

Why-Senior fined $50 for pot


SARNIA, Ont. -- A senior caught with a bit of marijuana outside a retirement home has been fined $50 in Sarnia court.
James Gordon Brown, 66, of Sarnia, pleaded guilty to the Sept. 26, 2011, offence and was fined Monday.
Sarnia police had been called to the home and Gordon was standing outside. 70Police reported Gordon had four grams of marijuana, but defence lawyer David Stoesser said Gordon believed it was closer to 1.5 grams. At the time, Gordon’s arrest was called unusual by police because most marijuana arrests involve teenagers or people outside bars, not retirement homes.

Oops: Man gets $44 million hospital bill


NEW YORK — Patients don't normally get sick once they've returned home from the hospital, but one New York resident said he almost became ill when he received a whopping $44.8 million bill from the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center. I almost had an asthma attack,” Alexis Rodriguez, 28, told The New York Daily News.
Rodriguez, a doorman who is currently unemployed, is one of several hundred patients getting billed for tens of millions of dollars because of a computer error at the New York City hospital.
He told The Daily News that initially, he thought the bill was legitimate because he had received a large bill last spring when he was hospitalized for pneumonia for three weeks — although that bill was in the tens of thousands of dollars, not millions.This hospital visit, again for pneumonia, was for outpatient services, reported The Daily News. The $44,776,587 bill should have amounted to no more than $300.
