Gun in Pic with Pippa Middleton Was Fake
Pippa Middleton made headlines Monday, and this time the paparazzi shots were not so flattering. Middleton, 28, the younger sister of Prince William's wife Kate, was in Paris for French aristocrat Arthur de Soultrait's party when she was photographed smiling in the passenger seat of an Audi convertible as the driver of the car aimed a handgun directly at the photographer. But the gun in question, it turns out, is a toy. Aymeric de Drouas, spokesman for a French clothing company owned by Soultrait, said the gun in a photo published by British newspaper The Sun was a toy being used in "a game" with paparazzi, who'd been trailing them throughout Middleton's visit. Paris police say they are not investigating and have no complaint.

Howard Stern fails to win $300 million in Sirius lawsuit
Howard Stern’s hopes for a $300 million payday from Sirius XM Radio Inc. have been dashed by a judge. His show’s Twitter feed said the shock jock was “really bummed” by the decision and plans to appeal. Stern sued last March, arguing that he was entitled to a huge stock-based bonus in his contract because the number of Sirius subscribers exceeded the company’s internal forecasts. But his initial job contract was signed in October 2004, well before Sirius acquired XM in July 2008. New York state court judge Barbara Kapnick ruled Monday that Stern couldn’t count XM’s nearly 10 million subscribers in calculating his bonus, saying that the language of his contract was clear and unambiguous. Kapnick dismissed Stern’s lawsuit “with prejudice,” which means he can’t bring another case based on the same set of facts. The court found the agreement unambiguous and that we had complied with all our obligations,” it said. Stern had already received a $75 million stock bonus for exceeding the 2006 subscriber estimate by more than 2 million subscribers. He was also paid $25 million when Sirius combined with XM, in order to enable Stern’s show to be broadcast to XM listeners as well. Sirius XM’s stock rose 7 cents, or 3.2 percent, to close Tuesday at $2.24. In December 2010, Stern signed a new 5-year contract, keeping him at Sirius XM through 2015.
