Nobody Puts Baby… wait I can’t say that?
So this isn’t really about a celebrity but it is a slow news day, we already knew Foxy Brown was going to end up in jail. Besides that there isn’t a lot going on, well except for Vanessa Milano being a total attention whore…
Apparently Lionsgate Cinema is suing 15 companies for using their trademarked phrase, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” from the film “Dirty Dancing”. Some of the defendants include baby clothes designers and other companies in the fashion industry.
According to the AP story:
Lionsgate, a unit of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., seeks to prevent the businesses from selling merchandise containing the phrase. It also seeks a court order requiring the defendants to pay restitution as well unspecified statutory and actual damages, treble damages and punitive damages.
I bet you all those people making knock off “Scarface” stuff are crapping their pants.
