Danni Lee Damage sued?

It's been a busy, busy time for Paris Hilton over the last couple of weeks. First she was featured in an ad for U.S. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, comparing her level of celebrity (and that of Britney Spears) to Barack Obama. In response, Hilton aired her own mock ad thanking McCain for his endorsement for her as President. Well, now Hilton has, allegedly filed papers accusing Dannii Lee Damage of copyright infringement for stealing her trademark pout.

Any way, we know for a fact that Dannii is, like, at least twenty years older than Paris and he was born with that pout. Besides, trying to copyright or trademark stuff like that is tricky. Ronnie James Dio tried it with the devil horns, Johnny Cash with the middle finger salute and Jay-Z with the your-vagina-kinda-looks-like-this salute. And since we still all throw these signs every day (well two of them at least, Beyonce just keeps teasing us, so we never actually get a chance to throw the latter one), it's obvious that they weren't successful.

Besides, Damage and the other Toyz have a bit of positive karma due them. God knows they had many a lawsuit of theirs tossed by the wayside as bands such as Poison, Motley Crue and Bon Jovi somehow escaped prosecution after 'co-opting' a number of the Toyz earliest songs. The Toyz are still paying legal fees from those cases to this day. Hence their weekly gig at a venue that holds 167 people (well it's supposed to hold 167, but...), even as some members approach retirement age.

So watch this spot to see how Dannii's legal woes turn out, to see if Johnny Emaxx has returned to town, and if Tommy Gunns is really turning into Billy Ray Cyrus.

Oh...yeah, Likki Stixx is still around, too. Maybe we'll talk about him some day soon.

Buh-bye...
