Christopher Nolan is the LAST person in Hollywood we ever expected to get into greedy legal dramz over money.

Fortunately, the Dark Knight Rises director's image is safe because he's not suing for any money. He's just suing to be left alone!

The blockbuster filmmaker and his producer/wife, Emma Thomas, filed a lawsuit in El Lay on Thursday to ask courts to decide a monetary conflict between CAA — Nolan's former agency — and his current agency, WME.

WME wants commission from movies that were initially brought into the studio system by CAA, while the latter still says it's owed money from those movies as well.

Nolan and Thomas are willing to pay whoever is legally owed the money, but just want to get out of the conflict they are stuck in the middle of.

Geez. This is, like, the nicest lawsuit ever! LOLz!

Watch out, Wall Street! You do NOT want to be on the opposing side to any cause that Michael Moore supports!

Check out the photos (above, and below) of Michael showing his continuing support for Occupy Wall Street protestors in NYC last night.

As a reminder, the goal of this protest is to fight against Wall Street's financial greed and corruption.

Stay safe, Michael and Co.!

Netflix. Stop it.

Just stop.

People woke up this morning to a late night email from Netflix chief executive, Reed Hastings, explaining that they messed up. Which is great, and it's great to hear they recognize that.

But what good does recognizing it do if they don't do anything about it? In fact, they seem to be making it worse:

While the media is running amuck with the story of two greedy vampire actors, their on-screen mother is claiming all is not as bad as it seems.

As many of you Twi-Hards know, Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene are standing up to the studio and demanding more money to be in the final Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn. It has all fans worried that they'll be losing two of their fave sparkly vamps because Summit has a history of cutting actors from their flicks for pushing the wrong buttons.

But there are some hoping to put Twi-Hard's minds at ease - like Elizabeth Reaser, who plays the matriarch, Esme Cullen. She insists to fans that this is just a normal part of showbiz and that they shouldn't worry until there really is something to worry about.

Still, it seems even she has sour grapes about the whole thing. Without the actors on lock, there is no telling when Breaking Dawn will break ground on production. As Elizabeth explains: "I really want to know because I'm trying to plan my life."

See Kellan and Ashley! Your costars want to do other movies too, yet they are putting their careers on hold (and at risk) for your stoopidity.

Just take what they are going to give you and be done with this already! You really want to piss off the fans! We sure as hell wouldn't!
