J.Lo, UPN Targets of Suit

J.Lo, UPN Targets of Suit: "Before she gets ready to do 'Dallas,' Jennifer Lopez and her production posse may have to wrangle in court. The 35-year-old singer-actor, who recently signed on to play Sue Ellen Ewing opposite John Travolta's J.R. in a film based on the hit TV series, has become one of the targets of a lawsuit brought by a disgruntled writer who's claiming J.Lo's production company and UPN stole one of his ideas. Jack Bunick filed a suit against Lopez's Nuyorican Productions, CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc. Apr. 11 in New York stating that he came up with the original idea for what became the now canceled UPN show 'South Beach,' on which Lopez served as an executive producer."

"MI3" Ad Blowup: "Your mission, should you choose to accept it--make the newspapers go boom! A 'Mission: Impossible III' marketing scheme went haywire--literally--Friday when a Los Angeles Times reader in Santa Clarita mistook his friendly neighborhood newspaper rack for a device on the verge of spontaneous combustion. In this day and age, you really can't blame the guy for being a bit concerned when he inserted his quarter, opened the lid and saw a small plastic box with a few wires poking out of it sitting on top of the papers."
