 According to the Smoking Gun, a 52 year old woman is suing Victoria's Secret over a low rise v-string thong she bought from the
Sexy Little Things line. Macrida Patterson is claiming that a decorative metallic piece affixed to her thong became airborne and struck her in the eye as she was attempting to put on the g-string. Did I mention she's 52? Oh yeah, I did.
Patterson's attorney, Jason Buccat, is claiming that the damage to her cornea has caused her to miss a few days of work as a traffic cop with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation. Buccat is also claiming that Patterson's damaged cornea will be "affecting her the rest of her life." Before the lawsuit was filed, officials for Victoria's Secret requested to examine the decorative piece and thong in question, but were denied by Patterson's counsel. Talk about cock-blocked!

 Lawsuits have hit a new low with Roxbury Entertainment suing Penthouse Media over trademark infringement of some crappy 1960's TV show no one cares about that happens to be named after a public highway -- Route 66!
Route 66, a porno of the same title that based on the box cover description, is just about driving down a road and fucking, appears to have nothing to do with the mainstream TV Show that maybe your parents watched, but nevertheless, this is the real deal (PDF) on the Central District of California court dockets. In fact, even Roxbury admits as much themselves in the claim:

Death by Electrosex

 In Antwerp, Belgium, the wife of a businessman is suing a pair of prostitutes because her husband died from heart failure during electric sex.
Apparently the 38 year-old businessman asked for the electric shock treatment during a session with the two hookers, despite the fact he was fully aware of his own weak heart. The three also drank, took drugs and had more conventional sex. But if you ask me, that's the way to go.

Will the Real Violet Blue Please Stand Up?

 Retired adult performer, Violet Blue, is being sued by a sex-positive writer, also named "Violet Blue." Author Violet Blue has written at least nine sexual how-to books and she's the editor of several erotic short stories. She is well known in the mainstream press. Mark Kernes at AVN writes:
Author Blue filed a lawsuit against actress Blue on Oct. 22 of this year, charging trademark infringement, trademark dilution, violation of right of publicity and unfair competition, claiming that actress Blue "created a likelihood of confusion as to sponsorship, connection, or authorization with Plaintiff Blue's valuable mark" by using her name and even adopting elements of author Blue's appearance, which she claims she's been using since 1999.
There's only one problem: Author Blue provides no proof in her lawsuit as to even the approximate date that she claims she became widely known as "Violet Blue," and the earliest date of publication listed in her Wikipedia entry is 2001, when she edited "Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples" for Cleis Press. Moreover, she only received the trademark on her name in March of this year.
The AVN article goes on to describe several elements of the lawsuit.

 What a sad day it is when I have to change a performer's name in the database because of some very frivolous lawsuit that occurred in France. Before you all start sending me correction notes, it's not a typo Katsumi is now Katsuni.
Katsuni (sigh) writes about the harrowing experience of defending herself in her myspace diary.
In November I found in my mail-box, a letter written by a lawyer who was defending the interests of a young woman called Miss Katsumi and who was ordering me to stop to use my stagename « Katsumi » IMMEDIATELY.
