Toni Collette's performance in "The United States of Tara" didn't exactly bring the house down -- but it may have caused a roof to collapse.
The owner of a BBQ joint in the San Fernando Valley is suing the makers of the Showtime show, claiming a day's worth of filming in his restaurant left nearly $400K worth of damages.
According to the court docs, the owner of the joint, Un Suk Yun (common spelling), agreed to rent out his restaurant for one day last September. But, Yun claims, "due to many heavy movie machine's pressure, the roof and ceiling came down" -- causing serious damage and forcing him to shut down the eatery for two weeks.
A call to Showtime was not immediately returned.

You guys have GOT to be talking about the bear pit in Mission Hills!
Toni Collette is an overrated bore,
Her only shtick is being ugly, and it's a one joke.
Well, their claim certainly doesn't make any sense, Lights are not just held on ceilings they are propped up on stands they wouldn't rig anything from a real ceiling thats not enforced for that.
Hey #4 - yea you. To fast for nothing. Your number 4, four. 99 centz said it all...get faster dial up. Not only that, all you who write first are idiots. Especially when your NOT!!!! Write something or stay off. Yahooo, look at me I'm number 9 or 10 or 11 beat you all to one of those numbers. Now...doesn't that sound just plain stupid.
I worked on that set that day as an Extra. Yeah it was pretty bad.
Haha it's the Valley Ranch in Van Nuys. That place sucks and everyone who works there is a bunch of bitches. I used to work in that dump. Yuck...They must be hard up for money to renovate that old pos place.
This is one of the STUPIDEST shows I've ever attempted to watch. I had to change the channel after about 10 minutes. I'm sure Toni Collette is a nice person but the story line was awful and the acting was just as bad.
to #'s 15 and 16, that,s why they made REMOTES! if you don,t LIKE the show, change the channel. real simple biatches,got it?
