'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Stars Kris Jenner And Bruce Jenner Are Divorcing After Years Of Humiliation


Bruce Jenner And Kris Jenner

'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' stars Kris Jenner And Bruce Jenner are officially in divorce court. Kris Jenner filed for divorce from her husband of 23-years, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple is seeking joint custody of their 17-year-old daughter, Kylie Jenner. Their other offspring, Kendall Jenner is of age. 

Money hungry Kris repeatedly humiliated her husband Bruce on their reality show. Adulterous Kris aired their dirty laundry for ratings and repeatedly disrespected her husband on the air, in conduct that was uncomfortable to watch. She so exploited their offspring and her own from a previous marriage to O.J. Simpson's defense attorney, Robert Kardashian, they became the most overexposed family in America and ratings plunged.

Kris repeatedly stole intellectual property belonging to people all over America for a line of products for her children, resulting in lawsuit after lawsuit, regarding the preexisting products that were already trademarked and registered with the Library of Congress. Even many of the storylines on the family's reality shows were stolen. 

Sadly, Kris repeatedly embarrassed and made a fool of her husband on television. It led to problems in their marriage. Rumors in Hollywood persist that Kris has so emasculated Bruce, he began undergoing treatments to feminize himself, such as Adam's apple reduction and hormones to promote breast growth. Bruce also underwent cosmetic surgery procedures designed to make him look more feminine. This is in addition to growing out his hair, then cutting and coloring it in a feminine style. He also grew out his nails and polished them.

Karrueche Tran's Fashion Line The Kill Being Killed By Someone Other Than Chris Brown



Karrueche Tran

Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran didn't do her homework before starting her own fashionline called The Kill. It was embarrassingly delayed last month, after a much hyped launch date of 12/12/12. Initially rumors claimed the launch was scrapped due to Rihanna demanding Chris Brown pull funding.

However, according to the Rhymes With Snitch blog, Tran is facing legal action over the name of her fashionline, as another company, Kill Brand, has been releasing similar clothes under said name prior to Tran attempting to do so. The blog stated, "Apparently there's already a clothing line called Kill Brand, that's a pretty big deal in their own right, and KB are preparing a lawsuit to wipe Karrueche's Kill Society off the face of the earth."


Chris Brown

Tran has been trying to carve out a career of her own, sick of pot shots from Brown's jealous side chick, Rihanna, who seems to think being a music model is as important as being a head of state or scientist. Smoking weed all day, getting "black out drunk" as she puts it, flashing your chi-chis and lip syncing to copyright infringing music does not a career make. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Sony To Rip Off The iPad


iPad

Apple obsessed Sony, is planning to introduce their own iPad shortly and given their track record of criminal copyright infringement and patent infringement, as attested by hundreds of court cases, trouble is looming.

Apple Headquarters

Sony, never one to observe the property rights of others, has been bragging about their yet to surface product, which covetously seeks to cut into iPad sales. Sony shouldn't hold its breath, as Apple makes a far superior product and has a built in audience.

Sony's crazy CEO Howard Stringer

With the way sales have been plunging at Sony, the last thing they need is another embarrassment of a product getting battered in the market place (for further reference, see the Wii annihilating Sony's Play Station in the video game genre).

Coca Cola Recipe Exposed

The website "This Is American Life" has violated trade secret laws, by publishing Coca Cola's secret recipe for their prized product. The website stated, it identified the recipe in an old photograph, which features a Coca Cola employee, holding a notebook open with the formula. Coca Cola denies it is their recipe, but apparently, some who have tried it, insists it is the formula.

"This Is American Life" enlarged and transcribed the contents of the photo for web audiences, violating Coca Cola's rights, in a bid at driving traffic and ad sales to their site. The Judiciary Report is not in support of such conduct, as it has violated the rights of others.

Coca Cola went to great lengths for years to protect its product and said website should not have gone digging to expose a billion dollar secret. Knock off, cheaper colas that don't taste quite right, can now amend their recipes to rip off Coca Colas.

Flavor Flav Ripped Off KFC


KFC

Rapper and reality TV star, Flavor Flav, has ripped off KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) with his own fast food restaurant launched this month, FFC (Flavor's Fried Chicken). How unoriginal and disgraceful. No word from Kentucky Fried Chicken, regarding how they view the blatant trademark and copyright infringement.

FFC rather than KFC

Not only are the restaurants' names and logo very similar, infringing KFC's trademark, the menus are virtually the same. To add insult to injury, Flavor Flav unwisely opened it right next door to a KFC. Would it not have been more honorable and decent to have bought a KFC franchise than to have broken the law in completely ripping them off.

A portion of FFC's menu

This is very similar to the film "Coming To America" where "McDonalds" was ripped off by a restaurant named "McDowells." The rip off replicated "McDonalds" to the tee, but crazily claimed they are different because the former has "The golden arches" whereas "McDowells" has the "the golden arcs." However, it was still the exact same restaurant, just a similar new name.

Paris Hilton Settles Lawsuit With Hallmark

Paris Hilton

Promiscuous, Paris Hilton, sued the Hallmark card company over the usage of the phrase "That's Hot" which she frequently states and trademarked. Neither Hilton or Hallmark are original in this matter, as the phrase has been used by many rappers and in films, as far back as the 1980s (hey, that's as far back as my memory goes).

Therefore, for either to sue and stake claim to a phrase neither created or used first in the marketplace, is somewhat ridiculous. Both parties were standing on legally shaky ground in this matter. What's Hilton going to claim she invented next, penicillin and Valtrex. Once again, just because you use something, doesn't mean you came up with it. Over to you, Cocaine R US.

Shaq Tries To Shutdown Show "Basketball Wives"

Shaq's Wife Violated Confidentiality Agreement On "Basketball Wives"

Shaunie and Shaquille O'Neal

VH-1's new reality show, "Basketball Wives" starring, Shaunie O'Neal, the soon to be ex-wife of, Shaquille O'Neal, is in hot water of a legal variety.

It seems Shaunie signed a very binding confidentiality agreement with estranged husband, Shaq, which prohibits her from discussing their relationship publicly, particularly in a book or on a television program, which is exactly what she has done.

The scandalous "Basketball Wives" has thus far discussed Shaq's adulterous affair with, Laura Govan, the fiancée of fellow NBA basketball player, Gilbert Arenas, while kindly leaving out Shaunie's infidelity. Shaunie reportedly had two boyfriends during the course of their marriage and previously left her deacon husband to marry Shaq.

Shaunie O'Neal on "Basketball Wives"

Shaq had his lawyers send over a legal warning to VH-1 days before the show aired, but they went ahead with the debut without removing references to Shaq that aren't particularly flattering. Shaq is now threatening suit.

The show has a history of legal problems. The program clearly had to change its name from "NBA Wives" to "Basketball Wives" for legal reasons, as it would violate the league's trademark rights.

"Basketball Wives"

One of the show's stars, Royce Reed, was slapped with a gag order from, Dwight Howard, instructing her not to divulge the contents of their past relationship or mention his name or that of their son.

Sony Suffering Sales Losses

Howard Stringer

Sony and Sony Ericsson continue to suffer massive sales losses, in a terrible financial decline that refuses to abate. Sony's image in the world is so ugly now, people are not inspired to buy from them, due to their dirty corporate practices, such as copyright, patent and trademark infringement.

They've suffered a fresh string of embarrassing losses and defeats recently, posting huge sales declines and having to withdraw some of their product lines, due to the fact people are not buying them.

What is Sony CEO and resident animal's solution to this quagmire, fire more people and force out company junior CEOs, when the problem lays with him, as he is bar none one of the most corrupt, thieving, devious, despicable human beings on the planet. You and Sony are criminals.

Sony Ericsson Reshuffles Leadership, Looks to Tighten Product Line

08/17/09 2:27 PM PT - Executives at both Sony and Ericsson will take new leadership positions at Sony Ericsson, the duo's joint venture in the mobile handheld space. Ericsson's Bert Nordberg will become Sony Ericsson's president upon the retirement of current prez Hideki Komiyama. Meanwhile, Sony Chairman and CEO Howard Stringer will also serve as Sony Ericsson's chairman.

Bert Nordberg, a 14-year veteran of telecom system provider Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY) More about Ericsson, has been named president of Sony Ericsson, the firm's joint cellphone venture with the Japanese consumer electronics giant. He'll be succeeding Hideki "Dick" Komiyama, a Sony (NYSE: SNE) More about Sony executive who has led Sony Ericsson More about Sony Ericsson since 2007 and is now headed for retirement.

Nordberg will be co-president of Sony Ericsson -- a new position for the firm -- beginning Sept. 1 and will assume full responsibility on Oct. 15.

In another executive reshuffle, Sony Ericsson has also tapped Sir Howard Stringer, Sony's chairman and chief executive, to take over the chairmanship of the Sony Ericsson board. The role is currently held by Carl-Hendric Svanberg, the Ericsson chief executive, who is in line to become chairman of BP in the United Kingdom.

Although prompted by outside circumstance -- Komiyama's retirement -- the moves may be necessary for the venture to right itself in the face of sharply declining revenues.

Dwindling Commitment?

Sony Ericsson, now in its eighth year, has lost at least US$1 billion in the past 12 months. There have also been questions about the companies' -- particularly Ericsson's -- commitment to the endeavor because of their own recent struggles with market forces and falling cash balances, Ronald Gruia, principal analyst and program leader of Frost & Sullivan's More about Frost & Sullivan emerging telecoms and ICT practice, told the E-Commerce Times...

Sony Pulls The Plugs On OLED Due To Losses & Production Problems

18/08/2009 - Bleeding cash and TV market share, Sony has now said that they will not deliver a new OLED TV this year because of costs and production problems. New research has also revealed that 4 out of 10 Sony OLED TV panels made are dumped because of production problems.

Hailed 18 months ago as the breakthrough TV technology that would catapult Sony into a dominant position in the TV display market, OLED TV is now turning into a lemon for the Japanese TV maker who in Australia has seen their TV display market share savaged by Samsung.

Also in Australia Sony is struggling with several other products with the Company recently admitting that they have had to replace faulty Sony Walkman and Vaio Notebooks that are prone to melting.

In an admission to the Wall Street Journal Sony has said that they are set to delay the launch of its next organic light emitting diode, or OLED, television because mass producing the new ultrathin displays would exacerbate losses at its TV division.

In Australia the Company is trying to sell a tiny 11" OLED TV for $6,999 which is $2,000 more than some vendors are selling a 55" Full HD TV for, complete with a free Nintendo Wii gaming console...

In previous ChannelNews stories we reported that Sony Chief Executive Howard Stringer had said in May 2008 that Sony would have a 27-inch OLED television available within 12 months.
