Sinatra and Columbo: We've Got Pens But No Pals

A lawsuit filed today against the City Clerk of Bev Hills and the Registrar of Voters of L.A. County claims Sinatra -- mother of singer Nancy Sinatra -- and Falk helped pen misleading details urging voters to put the kibosh on the project.

Their less-than-stellar opinion of the project was set to appear in a ballot pamphlet for the November election -- when celebs (and regular folk) get to vote on it.

Karim Kano, who filed the complaint, wants to stop their comments from making it to the printing press.

4. Agree with both 1 & 2 above. Where I live there are a lot of beautiful old buildings being torn down and ugly new buildings being built with no consideration for the neighbors or how it's going to screw up traffic, parking, etc.

7. I wonder how much misleading was done on the part of the builders to get the project this far? Sinatra and Falk can say what they choose as long as it's not illegal.

9. Who would give a rats azz what Nancy Sinatra or Peter Falk's opinion would be. Thanks for making me think of them, I'll add them both to the celebrity deadpool.

10. OK. This is like the one-zillionth post by TMZ where they used improper grammar, misspelled words, and got names wrong. Does this site have a freaking editor? Can anyone at TMZ get anything right? It certainly does not lend any credibility to what you write when you can't spell.

13. Hurrah! Good for the political Process. This is not censorship, this is their right to protest inaccruate information and rumors. BTW, it states that any voter in that area could also file a protest. AND YOU DON'T NEED A LAWYER to file a petition. Go online and figure it out yourself. Just like writing a paper in college (you DID go to college, right?). Just gather supporting facts and list the inaccuracies. Maybe those two hollywood nuts are afraid the missing gun will be found during the digging, LOL. Idiots! Now can we gat back to more inportant issues?
