Fan Gets “Butt” End In Rick Springfield Personal Injury Lawsuit
No butts about it, we think might have found one of our most frivolous lawsuits yet.
Vicki Calcagno of Liverpool, New York recently filed a personal injury lawsuit against 1980’s pop star Rick Springfield (of “Jessie’s Girl” fame), alleging that the rocker fell into her during a 2004 concert, resulting in Springfield’s buttocks striking Calcagno in the head which led to “lasting injuries”.

A Gluten-Free Lawsuit So Ridiculous the Gluten-Free Community Rejects It
A California woman seems to want to have her gluten-free lo mein and eat it, too.
Anna Marie Phillips is attempting to file a class action against the popular Asian-American restaurant chain P.F. Chang’s for charging more for items on a gluten-free menu — a practice that Phillips claims is a discriminatory violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
