While we do not condone the piracy of music, everyone knows the RIAA's bully tactics and lawsuits are shady.

They try and make examples of people, and claim outlandish damages, when in reality they're not solving the problem what-so-ever.

Joel Tenenbaum, a 28-year-old student who just graduated from a Boston University grad program, knows all about this.

He was ordered by courts to pay a ridiculous $675,000 for illegally downloading and sharing 30 songs on the Internet.

His appeal for a reduced amount has just been denied, but

Gloria Allred might have another client ready to hop aboard the John Travolta lawsuit bandwagon.

A third masseur has come forward with allegations that he was sexually assaulted by the Grease star. The anonymous New Yorker is technically the fourth masseur to accuse Travolta of getting freaky, but the last guy openly admitted that the sexual rendezvous was both consensual and enjoyable.

The latest deets in this developing scandal took place two years ago during a massage at a five star hotel. Here is how a source explains what went down:

This one is kind of weird…

Wayne Newton is being accused of giving "sloppy, wet, and disgusting" kisses to female employees who never wanted to be smooched.

Grrrooooooossss!!

A former business partner is suing the guy who made Danke Schoen famous BEFORE Ferris Bueller sang it.

In the lawsuit, he calls the 70-year-old entertainer "sexually reprehensible and intimidating" and later goes on to describe the vicious pack of dogs he kept at Wayne Manor.

There’s nothing funny about sexual harassment in the workplace — but there’s definitely something HIGHlarious about picturing the old singer actually trying to move those stiff, surgically "enhanced" lips enough to plant a wet one on anybody. LOLz!!

Would U still see this guy perform next time UR in Sin City?? Would U dare to sit in the front row splash zone??

SO, back in 2002 Live Nation - then a child of the Clear Channel behemoth - was sued for supposedly monopolizing the ticket sales of live rock concerts and for charging too high a price for said tickets.

In the class action lawsuit,

We know you were all thinking it! LOLz!

Both of the masseurs who filed lawsuits against John Travolta for sexual assault and battery have withdrawn their cases for now. Considering the plaintiff's determination to take their cases to court shifted in a matter of days, we are curious what changed their mind.

Even though more allegations about John Travolta's sexual escapades are pouring out of the woodwork, John Doe #2 has grown tired of the this media mess and has dropped his lawsuit against the actor!

The anonymous masseur, who claimed the married actor sexually assaulted him during a massage at a hotel in Atlanta, fired attorney Okorie Okorocha a few days after John Doe #1 did the same.

As we all know, Gloria Allred has scooped that anonymous man up, but it doesn't sound like Travolta's second accuser will continue with the case. Instead he's just going

The television series wrapped, but drama keeps flowing down Wysteria Lane!!

Nicolette Sheridan’s attorneys brought new documents to court today in the hopes of bolstering her wrongful termination retrial. Her first lawsuit against Touchstone, as you remember, ended in a hung jury.

This evidence apparently proves Sheridan was fired from Desperate Housewives because she whined to the network about show-runner Marc Cherry striking her in the head.

What the??? This sounds like a deleted scene from the show!!

Her attorney’s brief stated:
