Concert Crush

Who knew that boy band concerts were so dangerous? First an Oregon mother allegedly lost her hearing during a particularly loud Justin Bieber concert. Now a disgruntled fan of the Jonas Brothers is suing the trio, claiming that she was nearly crushed by a crowd of frenetic fans at a free concert almost three years ago. Ashleigh Johnson says the band should have known that a large number of people would attend the event at The Grove mall in Los Angeles, and that it failed to take proper security precautions.

According to Johnson's suit, she suffered “severe injury to her body and shock to her nervous system,” along with “great mental…and nervous pain,” after being pinned against a fence during the concert.

Skull Skirmish

After taking on Nazis and aliens, Indiana Jones is now going up against one of his own: an archaeologist. Dr. Jamie Awe, the director of the Institute of Archaeology in Belize, claims that 2008's “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” the fourth installment of the famed adventure series, centers on a purloined Mayan artifact.

According to Awe, Anna Mitchell-Hedges, the adopted daughter of British adventurer F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, discovered an actual crystal skull in a ruined Maya city in Belize. Mitchell-Hedges brought the skull to the U.S. in the 1930s, where it remains in the possession of her husband. Awe contends that the explorer illegally removed the skull from Belize and that the studios behind the “Indiana Jones” franchise unjustly enriched themselves by using a replica of the skull in its film.

He is suing Lucasfilm Ltd. and the movie's distributor, Paramount Pictures, for unspecified damages, and is seeking to return the skull to Belize.

Nettlesome Neighbors

Basketball player Andrew Bynum attracts his fair share of controversy, and it appears the drama may be spilling off the court. The former Laker is embroiled in a nasty lawsuit with his former neighbors, Raymond and Cindy Beckett, who he claims took issue with “his profession, his race, his friends, his cars and his taste in music.” According to Bynum's suit, the Becketts expressed their disapproval by throwing coins at his Ferrari and banging on his house with “a long stick.”

The couple filed a countersuit containing a litany of allegations, including that Bynum blasted profane music and video games “at window-shaking volumes,” allowed marijuana smoke to drift into their backyard and “conspicuously brandish[ed] firearms” in an effort to frighten his neighbors.
