The Ladies Of The News
13 DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!!Two of the more interesting women of the entertainment world are in the news today, and sadly neither of the news is very good...
First, the $300,000 manicure - My girl Tanya Tucker has herself some probs as her manicurist is suing her because TT's dog Belle bit the beatch on May 2nd - the manicurist was even in an episode of the great Tuckerville show laughing and cracking with the country singer.. here's the whole story and note about the new music.. that is more than exciting to me:
A manicurist filed a $300,000 lawsuit against the country singer last week, alleging that she was attacked by one of Tucker's dogs during a house call last year.
In her court documents, Danielle D. Hobbs claimed that the incident occurred when she arrived at Tucker's Nashville area home to do the singer's nails on May 2, 2006.She said that a canine by the name of Bella charged out of Tucker's bedroom without warning and latched onto her leg, leaving painful and disfiguring scars.
Though Bella was the only dog accused in the attack, Hobbs said she had felt threatened by Tucker's pack of at least eight dogs during previous visits to the house and had asked that they be restrained.
She claimed in her lawsuit that the singer's assistant told her the dogs were "just babies" and would not harm her.
Tucker's publicist, Kirt Webster, said Tuesday that the suit came as a "total surprise" and was filed without merit.
According to Jim Higgins, a principal partner at Higgins, Himmelberg & Piliponis, a Nashville firm specializing in personal injury law, Tennessee does not have particularly strict dog-bite laws in place.
He said the burden would be on Hobbs to prove that Tucker knew that her dog had vicious tendencies.
"If you have reason to believe that your dog may bite someone, then you can be liable for any injuries," Higgins told E! Online via email.
"This is especially true if she invited her into the home and did nothing to warn or protect her from the dog."
In happier days, Hobbs appeared in at least one episode of Tuckerville, Tucker's fly-on-the-wall series that aired on TLC in 2005, and was shown exchanging friendly banter with the country star as she did her nails.
Tucker, 49, burst onto the music scene at the age of 13, with her debut single "Delta Dawn," which reached number six on the country charts. By age 15, she had already released a greatest hits album and earned her first Grammy nomination.
Now in her fourth decade as a performer, Tucker is slated to release her latest album, Lonesome Town, later this year.
Then in really sad news, it appears our Maybelline Maven Tammy Faye of the former Tammy Faye Bakkers is in a losing battle with cancer. She has put up a note to her fans on her website saying the doctors have stopped her treatments and it is now up to God. She has her daughter and some friends staying with her as she needs help, falling to only 65 lbs "I look like a scarecrow" she says. The note is up at her official website www.tammyfaye.com (but it keeps having server problems) and just to remininse how incredibly insane Tammy Faye was and well, probably always will be - I found this on a blog, and it's something every God fearing person should see and hear:

THIS MANICURIST SHOULD BE HONORED TO BE INVITED INTO TANYA TUCKER'S HOME, BUT INSTEAD SHE SUES HER. I HOPE FOR HER SAKE THAT SHE IS RETIRED, BECAUSE NONE OF TANYA'S FANS WILL GO TO ANY SHOP SHE WORKS IN AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT INVITING HER INTO THEIR HOMES, BECAUSE THEY TOO COULD GET SUED FOR SOME DUMB REASON. I WOULD BE HAPPY IF TANYA INVITED ME TO HER HOME AND I WOULD EVEN LET HER DOG BITE ME AND I WOULN'T SUE HER.LOL. KEEP SMILING TANYA, BECAUSE ALL OF YOUR FANS ARE ROOTING FOR YOU. KATHY GOSS
