Pamela Anderson TV Ad Too 'Degrading' for UK, but What About US?

A new Pamela Anderson TV ad has been banned in Britain for being "sexist and degrading to women," reports the New York Daily News.

Watchdog group the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) pulled the "Baywatch" celebrity's television spot for Australian web-hosting service Crazy Domains, finding the ad was "likely to cause serious offense to some viewers."

But that's in the UK. Could the same thing happen in America?

Miguel Fan's Lawyer: Brain Damage Suspected, Lawsuit Likely

R&B singer Miguel injured a fan at the Billboard Music Awards last month. He may soon face a lawsuit, as the fan's lawyer says she may have brain damage.

Khyati Shah's injury happened as Miguel attempted to leap across the stage to the catwalk, only to get caught, literally, in a pile of fans in the audience. Shah's head was knocked into the stage upon Miguel's landing; after the accident, she was allegedly only given an ice pack.

Shah's lawyer tells TMZ that she is now experiencing some cognitive difficulties that could indicate serious brain damage. They are now awaiting test results before they decide their next course of action.

Ever since those "Real World" housemates stopped being polite and started being real, actor hopefuls and super-fans alike have wanted to be reality TV stars.

But before you sign a contract to eat maggots off of Joe Rogan's feet for a chance at $10,000, you should consider the following legal tips:

Justin Bieber Speeding, Again? Deputies Investigating

Justin Bieber has been caught speeding, again. Or at least, his car has. It looks like the popstar and his now rather infamous white Ferrari can't stay out of trouble when it comes obeying speed limits.

First, on Monday, Bieber was allegedly zipping through his gated community outside Los Angeles at freeway speeds (well over the posted 25 mph limit) and upset one of his neighbors, ex-NFL player Keyshawn Johnson -- so much so that Johnson followed him home to confront his reckless driving.

Two days later, Bieber's Ferrari was pulled over again. But according to TMZ, it was not actually Bieber himself behind the wheel, but his friend, rapper Lil Twist.

Let's look at the potential legal implications for the Biebs.

In a Cartoon Network lawsuit, a North Dakota advertising agency alleges copyright infringement by the creators of a show called "Annoying Orange."

Ad agency H2M says "Annoying Orange" creators Dane Boedigheimer and Spencer Grove stole the image and likeness of a talking orange character from a copyrighted H2M character called "The Talking Orange."

This begs the question: Orange they glad their talking orange idea caught on? Apparently not.

For Amy's Baking Co., 'Kitchen Nightmares' Turns All Too Real

For Amy's Baking Company, "Kitchen Nightmares" was just the beginning of a primetime public image nightmare from which the owners can't seem to rouse themselves.

Ever since the episode featuring the Scottsdale, Arizona, eatery aired May 10 on Fox, owners Salomon "Samy" and Amanda "Amy" Bouzaglo have had more than 1,000 rotten tomatoes digitally flung at them through scathing Yelp reviews. Even more "haters" (as Amy would call them) have taken to Facebook.

From tip theft to a public Facebook meltdown and claims of hacking, the Bouzaglos' business model is a recipe for disaster with a heaping side of legal ramifications.

This week's episode of "The Good Wife" gave viewers a good look at a key issue in legal ethics: the attorney-client privilege. But did Hollywood's depiction live up to reality?

Recap: 'Death of a Client'

The main storyline revolved around a rich (and, as Alicia described him, "very litigious") client who is shot and killed in broad daylight. Police ask for Alicia's help in finding her client's killer -- a request that takes on added urgency when police tell Alicia they have reason to believe the killer may be coming after her next.

Alicia's friend and prosecutor Laura Hellinger (played by Amanda Peet) tries to persuade Alicia to give up some information that may be helpful to the investigation by saying, "You know attorney-client privilege may be waived if the attorney's life is in danger."

But is that true?

Producers of the 2013 Grammy Awards are laying down the law when it comes to dress codes. Revealing clothes will not be allowed at the Grammy ceremony this Sunday.

CBS, which will air the Grammy Awards, has issued an advisory to all presenters, asking that they be adequately covered.

Specifically, the dress policy states that anyone appearing on camera should take care to cover their buttocks and breasts, E! Online reports.

Top 5 FCC Viewer Complaints About 'Saturday Night Live'

Do you still watch "Saturday Night Live"? Millions tune in to NBC's popular sketch-comedy show every weekend, but some don't like what they see. Many have even submitted complaints to the FCC.

A website called GovernmentAttic.org filed a Freedom of Information Act request to get copies of FCC viewer complaints about "SNL." They're worth a read, because some are pretty funny, as Gothamist recently pointed out.

But when the giggles died down, we found ourselves wondering, could these complaints actually get "SNL's" actors or producers in trouble? Think about that as we take you through the Top 5 categories of "SNL" viewer complaints:

For Rick Harrison of "Pawn Stars" fame, his third wedding will (hopefully) be the charm. But does he need a prenup?

It's been about a year since Harrison proposed to girlfriend DeAnne Burditt, but their wedding date and venue have finally been nailed down. Originally, the couple had planned a wedding in Las Vegas. But plans have changed, and now they'll tie the knot in California on July 21, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Harrison has been married twice before, and has three children from his previous marriages. So does he need a prenuptial agreement this time around?
