Waist Trainer Lawsuit Kardashian Girls Love It But I'm Still Fat!!!
A waist training corset made enormously popular by the Kardashian girls is now on the receiving end of a lawsuit by a bunch of women who say they got burned but their fat didn't.
The women are griping over Waist Gang Society, the company that manufacturers the Reshaping waistshaper.
The company touts that the product "burns fatty tissue by making you sweat, targets the back, torso, waist and abdomen areas."
The Waist Gang Society's website features countless photos of Kim, Kourtney, Kylie, and Khloe wearing the corset. The girls, who were not sued, sing the praises of the product on social media.
The lawsuit claims the advertising for the product is misleading, quoting a doctor who says, "Corsets do not cause you to permanently lose fat in the midsection: they cause a re-distribution of the fat and organs in the trunk." It promises to give consumers an hourglass figure, but it seems for the women suing it's mission not accomplished.
What a waist.
Tupac's Mom Husband Wants a Piece of Tupac's Pie in Divorce
Tupac Shakur's mom is getting divorced, TMZ has learned, and her husband wants half of that Tupac money.
Afeni Shakur filed for divorce against Gust Davis, her husband of 12 years. For some reason we're told the couple doesn't have a prenup.
Afeni filed in North Carolina, where judges are not required to divide property 50/50, but rather on a case-by-case basis to determine what's fair. They have lots of property and he wants, among other things, the right to live on their 50 acre North Carolina ranch and wants the keys to the houseboats. Gust, who's a minister, also wants to keep his sweet Jag.
Gust also wants alimony. We're told the Tupac Estate rakes in around $900k a year, but according to Gust, after expenses Afeni gets around $20k a month. We're told he wants $10k a month for the rest of his life.
As for Afeni, she's been separated from Gust for a little more than a year. She's currently living on a houseboat in Sausalito, CA.
Afeni has filed legal docs asking the judge to shut down Gust's alimony request.

Fletcher tore his meniscus in the wreck and says he's going to need surgery, which will put him out of commission for months. He's suing Uber and its driver for medical expenses and lost wages.

Starbucks In a Latte Trouble ... You're Shorting Our Coffee!!
Two Cali java fanatics have a bean to grind with Starbucks for refusing to fill their cups to the rim ... according to a new suit.
The duo says every time they order a tall, grande or venti sized latte ... it's grossly underfilled. They point out the menu promises 12, 16 and 20 ounces -- but based on their research Starbucks underfills those cups by about 25% EVERY time.
In the class action suit, they admit occasionally the milk foam on top gets to the rim, but they add ... "In the food science community, as well as in the weights and measures community, foam is not measured on a volumetric basis."
Translation: Foam doesn't count!
Nor do they think this is an accident ... they paint CEO Howard Schultz as the villain for cutting costs by reducing the amount of milk in each latte.
They're seeking damages for Starbucks latte drinkers all across the country.

Katt Williams Sued His Witches Beat Me for Hours And Put a Spell On Me
This one is bizarre, even by Katt Williams' standards -- an actress is accusing the comedian of organizing a beatdown on her that included Wiccan sorcery.
Jamila Majesty says the brutal incident went down at Katt's Malibu's home almost 2 years ago. She says he invited her over and when she arrived, 5 other women were already there. In a lawsuit she's filed against Katt ... she says things went south quick when she made the mistake of using his bathroom.
Jamila says Katt told her "No one uses [my] bathroom," and then the women started punching her. She says the beatings continued for 3 hours -- she lost consciousness several times, was bloodied, and Katt burned her face with a Newport cigarette.
She also says one of Katt's chicks had a book open in the room which contained "teachings on sorcery and spells" and there was a fire that was being fed by "unusual things."
Jamila says she was finally able to leave around 1:30 AM and drove home bloody. She says she was too afraid to call 911 out of fear Katt would get revenge.
She's suing for assault and battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress.

Todd was found Sunday night after crashing his snowmobile during a solo trip into the Alaskan backcountry. It's still unclear how the accident happened.
