HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – They felt they were duped, made to believe that their idol, Josh Hutchinson, who played the lead character opposite Jennifer Lawrence in ‘The Hunger Games’ series, was straight.

‘They’ are the fans of the blockbuster movie who have followed the series through thick and thin, and continued to hope for another sequel after the last ‘Mockingbird, Part 2.’

Hutchinson, in a recent interview, revealed that he was open to dating men, a revelation that devastated the fans, including Lawrence herself.

The fans are reportedly preparing to file a class action lawsuit against the producers of ‘The Hunger Games’ for emotional distress and what they are calling a “Hollywood deception of epic proportions.”

It wasn’t clear whether or not Lawrence would be joining the class-action lawsuit.  Stay tuned.

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yelp Inc. has filed a $10 million dollar lawsuit against the creators of South Park, seeking damages caused by the latest episode of the popular television show which lampooned the customer review and local business rating website.

In response, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated series, filed a $20 Million counter lawsuit claiming that by suing South Park, Yelp has caused them irreparable emotional distress and unnecessary creative distraction.

South Park is also asking the court to order Yelp to pay an additional $10 Million for the publicity received by the rating website as a result of the TV episode.

Paul Horner, who is a spokesman for Yelp, promised to contest the counter lawsuit and urged all Yelp users and critics to go online and give South Park a rating of 1/2 star (out of a possible 5).

Both the Internet and Television worlds are closely watching the lawsuit and counter lawsuit, describing them as a classic battle between “Goliath” and “Goliath.”

KIM DAVIS, MIKE HUCKABEE TURN TO KICKSTARTER TO RAISE $1.2 MILLION

Leave a comment

CaptureSALISBURY, North Carolina (The Adobo Chronicles®) — The band Survivor has filed a $1.2 million lawsuit against Kim Davis and Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee over the unauthorized use of its hit song “Eye of the Tiger.”

Davis, the Rowan County clerk who was jailed after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, was released Tuesday morning, after serving six days in prison, to the sound of Survivor’s classic song “Eye of the Tiger.” The theme song from the movie “Rocky III” played in the background as she, her husband, and Mike Huckabee celebrated her freedom in front of cheering supporters.

The lawsuit is just one more problem for Davis, but a much bigger one for the former Arkansas governor in as far as his presidential campaign is concerneed. Huckabee is not only doing poorly in the polls but in campaign fundraising as well.  This past quarter, he reported raising only $2 million, which could be instantly wiped out if the lawsuit against him and Davis succeeds.

So today, Huckabee and Davis turned to the Internet crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to help them raise the $1.2 million they would need if the judgment goes against them in the Survivor lawsuit.

On Tuesday, Huckabee said he was willing to go to jail in Davis’ place.

Maybe, he will. And for sure, Davis will gladly join him.
