The lawyer for relatives of two of the victims--Donald Roderiques and Tina Ayer--filed a wrongful death suit against Great White and the owners of the Station nightclub--brothers Michael and Jeffrey Derderian--among others. The attorney added that he expected later this week to file additional suits on behalf of four other families, in which he plans to seek judgments of at least $1 million per victim.

Michael Jackson paid witch doctor to curse Spielberg?
A new article in Vanity Fair magazine claims that Michael Jackson paid a witch doctor $150,000 to put a curse on Steven Spielberg for not casting the singer as Peter Pan in the movie “Hook,” and on David Geffen for supposedly sabotaging the singer’s career, the Associated Press reports.
The article, which also claims that Jackson wears a prosthetic tip on what is left of his nose, quotes an unidentified California prosecutor who investigated child-molestation allegations made against the eccentric performer as saying that Jackson befriended young boys, and then broke ties with them “as soon as they started sprouting whiskers.”
