Tony Parker Sues for $20 Million for Night Club Brawl
NBA superstar Tony Parker -- who was injured when Drake and Chris Brown's posses squared off -- is suing the NYC nightclub for $20 million, claiming it should never have let Rihanna's exes in at the same time ... and Chris Brown as well as Drake could end up as defendants. The San Antonio Spurs star filed the lawsuit Thursday in NY State Supreme Court ... against W.i.P. Nightclub -- and in the suit he alleges the club's security was negligent for allowing the brawl to ever happen. Parker says he was hit by shards of glass and suffered lacerations to his cornea when bottles started flying in the fight last week. The lawsuit alleges club management, knowing there was "bad blood between Drake and Brown," was driven by the almighty buck and continued selling alcohol to the participants in the brawl, despite the fact that some were "visibly intoxicated." Parker's injury is a huge deal because it could affect his NBA career, and -- more immediately -- his performance in the Olympics with the French national basketball team. As for why he would sue for $20 MILLION? Parker is in the middle of a $50 million contract with the Spurs. As for whether Chris Brown or Drake will be added as defendants, Parker's lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, says he's waiting for the results of the police investigation.  He also wants to review the surveillance tape before making his decision.

Ann Curry says she feels hurt by negative criticism

With widespread reports circulating that NBC is planning to replace her as co-host of the "Today" show, Ann Curry is opening up about her critics and the ongoing ratings war with ABC rival "Good Morning America." Curry tells the August issue of Ladies' Home Journal -- on newsstands July 10 -- that losing to "GMA" in the ratings led to speculation about the "Today" show that has been stressful personally and professionally. "It's hard not to take it personally. You worry, am I not good enough? Am I not what people need? Am I asking the right questions?" Curry, who's been with "Today" since 1997 but was promoted about a year ago to replace Meredith Vieira as co-host with Matt Lauer, also reveals how difficult it is reading reports that she could be replaced. "When people say negative things or speculate, you can't help but feel hurt. I know NBC pays my salary, but I have never doubted who I work for. I think about the people who watch. They're the ones who matter to me. I want to feel I haven't dropped the ball when it comes to them." When asked if there is anything she would change about herself, she reflected on aspects of her personal life. "I don't always understand my worth. I think it's a chronic condition for women," she said. "I'm not talking about professionally. I'm talking about in our personal lives. We constantly punish ourselves with degrading thoughts when we look at ourselves in the mirror. We allow people to treat us poorly, we allow our husbands or boyfriends to get away with things or we have relationships with girlfriends or colleagues who don't treat us well. We don't defend ourselves as we would our own children." For her part, she says she has no intention of leaving the long-running NBC morning show. "I've been at 'Today' for 15 years and I'd love to make it to 20. I think eventually I want to become a teacher, like my father wanted to be, and hopefully positively influence the next generation."

She and rocker Josh Hubbard (of the Paddingtons) split in 2008 after four years of dating.

Jerry Sandusky's Adopted Son: I'm a Victim, Too

Just hours after a jury began deliberating the fate of Jerry Sandusky, who is on trial for allegedly sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period, his adopted son Matt said he, too, was sexually abused by Sandusky. "During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky's abuse," read a statement issued by Matt's attorneys, Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici. "At Matt's request we immediately arranged a meeting between him and prosecutors and investigators," the statement continued. "This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy. There will be no further comment at this time." Sandusky, 68, is charged with 48 counts of sexual abuse and other offenses. He could face life in jail if convicted. The former Penn State defensive coordinator did not testify during his trial. Sandusky has five other grown children, none of whom appeared at the trial. During the trial in Bellefonte, Pa., eight victims testified. One victim, identified only as Victim 9, described being alone in the basement of Sandusky's home, where he was repeatedly raped and forced to perform oral sex. "There was no fighting against it," the recent high school graduate told the jury. "Sometimes [I'd] scream, sometimes tell him to get off me, but other than that, who was there? We were in the basement, no one could hear you down there." Sandusky has denied the charges against him.

But, as the cartoon's revenue stream dried up in the wake of newspaper budget cuts, so too did Groening's ink. The final "Life in Hell" strip, the cartoonist's 1,669th, was published Friday. "I've had great fun, in a Sisyphean kind of way, but the time has come to let Binky and Sheba and bongo and Akbar and Jeff take some time off," Groening said in an email Wednesday.
