Charlize Theron Sued By Watch Maker

In an ap news release, Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron. In court papers filed in state Supreme Court on Monday, Weil said Theron signed an endorsement deal saying that from October 2005 through December 2006 she would only wear Weil’s high-end watches.

That deal allowed Weil to use Theron’s photographs in its advertisements in exchange for “substantial funds,” court papers said.

Meanwhile, Theron had an endorsement deal to promote a Dior perfume, Weil’s lawsuit said. The 31-year-old actress “was actually photographed wearing a watch from the Christian Dior line” at a March 14, 2006, news conference at a film festival in Austin, Texas, court papers said. A photo of her wearing the watch is included as an exhibit.

Can I have your autograph? The Good, bad and ugly…

Britney Spears makes it to the top of another “worst” list. And this time, it has nothing to do with clothes or singing.

Autograph Collector magazine, saying “no one is better at showing their fans how little they mean to them,” names Spears its worst celebrity signer of the year in its 13th annual survey of who’s cool and who’s cruel to the fans.

“While we’re the first to defend any celebrity’s right not to sign, how do you defend rude, crude and downright unattractive behavior?” asks Steve Cyrkin, publisher and editor in chief. “As one collector told us, ‘Britney has done all she can to earn her nickname, Bitchney Sneers.’ “

But Hollywood isn’t all scowls and passive aggression. Turns out Johnny Depp is pretty nice. “He never says ‘No’ to autograph seekers,” Cyrkin says.

The other good guys on the Autograph Collector list: Matt Damon, Tom Cruise, Mike Myers, Angelina Jolie, Elijah Wood, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff and Charlize Theron.

The naughty list includes Cameron Diaz, Tobey Maguire, Justin Timberlake, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eminem, Halle Berry and Paris Hilton.

Well, booo to the naughty list. Remember folks, if it weren’t for the fans you’d be doing dinner theater or working at McDonalds!  And who pays your million dollar salary by going to see your movies, buy your gear, downloading your music from iTunes? Us. We do.  So play nice!
