Janice Thibideaux, the woman who attacked Simon Cowell’s ex, Terri Seymour, after last week’s American Idol finale, has come out to talk about the motive behind her attack. She said “I wasn’t cool with Simon Cowell choking Paula Abdul on the show last week and with her crying-out ‘help’ as he did so. Nobody said anything about that so I wanted to confront him about it because that is not appropriate behavior, is it? She was taking some photographs with her camera and I knew she was his girlfriend so I went up to her to tell her how I felt. We started arguing and then I put my hands around her neck and started choking her just like Simon had done with Paula. Then I walked away and I was tackled by the police but I don’t regret what I did because of what Simon did to Paula, nobody seemed to care about that.” Crazy!

Britney Spears is being sued by her former bodyguard. Kerry Vine has decided to file a lawsuit against the recovered pop star, claiming to have sustained physical injuries while working for the singer. Court documents filed recently state that Britney “negligently operated her home and business thereby causing injuries to” the bodyguard. He also claims that the security firm he used to work for was responsible for forcing him to “perform duties that put him in harm’s way.” I smell something fishy about this suit. If you really thought you were going to get hurt, you can quit – or at the very least speak out about it and ask for things to change.
