Woah, small world. That policeman who was just arrested for killing his very pregnant baby mama used to date Nikki Giavasis, who later dated and had a child by NBA star Shawn Kemp.

[popbytes]Finally, a lawsuit in which Perez Hilton is not being accused of copyright violations. In fact, the gossip blogger (real name: Mario Lavandeira) is the one suing this time, claiming that a rogue Los Angeles photo agency is unfairly competing against his blog by, among other things, employing a platoon of illegal aliens who physically threaten the paparazzi competition. Filed yesterday, Lavandeira's Los Angeles Superior Court complaint ... alleges that the X17 agency's owners engage in "illegal and unethical business practices" and that they exploit the company's photographers, many of whom are "from Brazil or other countries" and are "believed to be illegal aliens." He also charges that the agency may "employ photographers with criminal backgrounds and/or gang affiliations." While Lavandeira does not identify any paparazzi by name, X17 photographer Ramon "Twist" Kirk is a convicted sex offender. As first revealed by reporter Eric Longabardi, Kirk spent 16 months in a California prison for the felony sex crime, which involved a teenage girl. Lavandeira contends that X17 has launched a "copycat blog" and, to secure a competitive advantage, the agency exploits its labor pool "through unlawful business practices.
Not only is Perez suing X17 as a corporation, he's also suing its owners, Francois and Brandy Navarre, as individuals.

We'll be talking about this more later, I promise.
