Tobey Maguire is staring at what seems like a fairly baseless lawsuit in relation to the Brad Ruderman hedge fund scandal.


Back in May 2009, hedge fund managerBrad Ruderman wasaccused of stealing $44M from investors, of which $5.2M allegedly was used to cover losses in a high-stakes Beverly Hills home games.

Turns out he lost more like $25M. And he lost it to the likes of Tobey Maguire in Hollywood home games attended by the likes ofLeonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon.

Now, the Chapter 7 Trustee of Ruderman’s ponzi co./”hedge fund” is suing to get some of that money back.

According to the suit, Ruderman went to invite-only poker games from the Summer of 2006 through March of 2009. The games were allegedly arranged by Molly Bloom (anassistantto one of the poker players)through her Molly Bloom Inc. company and took place at venues like The Four Seasons Hotel in LA, and The Beverly Hills Hotel.

The lawsuit claims that the organized poker games were illegal by California law as Molly Bloom Inc. is not a licensing gaming operator.

Apparently Tobey Maguire put a hurting on Ruderman, as there are over 30 wire transfers from Ruderman to Spidey to cover losses. Many of those losses were covered directly from money that Ruderman schemed off investors.

All in all, this also seems like a pretty bullshit lawsuit against Maguire. There is no indication he knew that he was getting dirty money. Feels more like a shakedown cash grab by the Trustee.

For a little more aboutTobey Maguire and poker: Maguire played the Main Event in 2005 & 2007. Both years, he acted like a major douche, covering his face every time he saw a photog.When he made a deep run in the 2007 Main Event, he went even more out of his way to cover his face and told ESPN that they couldn’t put him at a featured table unless he went really, really deep (robbing viewers of a major storyline and taking a lot of interest out of the tournament–something the 2007 WSOP ME desperately needed post-UIGEA). However, almost everyone we’ve spoken with in Hollywood circles agrees that Maguire is the best poker player among them. He’s known to kill it in the Hollywood home game circuit. But he’s dropped out of the WSOP scene since his ’07 run.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Satoshi Furukawa may not be Superman, but in the microgravity of space, he can fly (well, almost). Actually, Furukawa is the flight engineer for Expedition 28 on the International Space Station. As part of the planned duties for this mission, the station crew continue installing infrastructure upgrades to the station’s command and control computers and its communications systems. The station crew also assisted the STS-134 shuttle mission and continue preparations for the arrival of STS-135, the final mission of the Space Shuttle Program. Image Credit: NASA

After dealing with the controversial Cadbury ad debacle supermodel Naomi Campbell is getting back to her fashion roots and is teaming up with Italian denim brand Fiorucci, produced by Ittierre, for her new line of jeans.

Fiorucci's top executives are certain the partnership will benefit both Campbell and the growth of their brand. "This agreement is important to accelerate the development of the company," said Antonio Bianchi, owner of Albisetti, which now controls Ittierre.

Campbell's collection for the brand will have 15 pieces with jeans in four different styles. She created the line with her personal taste and women's figures in mind. "Jeans are like pasta. You can interpret them differently each time and play with the accessories -- wear them with flip-flops if you want comfort or heels if you want to look sexy. For the collection I thought about what would enhance women [and] about what I liked," Campbell told Harper's Bazaar.

Here’s a new Britney Video. I got 42 seconds into it before turning it off…I don’t know if it was her medicated acting, or the teenage angst I guarantee every fag is going to scream one collective orgasmic scream when they hear her say “Fuck You, Fuck You, Fuck You”….OMG Britney’s so punk rock….and her music is so relevant, from the heart, a commentary on her experience, real emotions can be felt, and by that I mean it’s a pile of computerized shit being spewed by a fucking puppet and it makes me want to kill myself, when really it should make Britney want to kill herself, but we’ve already gone down that road, and the sedatives kinda won’t let nature take its course and have it happen….Watch it anyway, maybe she gets naked and pisses all over the park bench like the schizo bitches I know…at least I hope she does cuz at least that would give her some redeeming qualities….who cares.

Te amo, Selena.

Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night, in a panic sweat, with this horrible dream that my be-lusted Selena Gomez, so hot, so barely legal, such an amazing pretend singer, has sold her soul, not to mention her chastity, to The Devil's Midget, and I try as I might to win her back, I can't return her from the depths of shorty hell. It's really and truly frightening.

But, today, I take comfort in the simple sweet sextastic of the young diva in a Miami mall, to the throngs of screaming teen girls (that's another, much nicer dream I sometimes have but of which I dare not detail), just looking like the hot princess she is. The young woman whose feet I would bathe, whose body I would scrub, and whose father would have me quickly arrested. It all could be so perfect, Selena, if only we could drop that 90 pounds of excess dimpled boyfriend. Enjoy.
