Celebrity Justice
So Shoe Me -- Van Halen Takes Nike to Court

Eddie Van Halen claims Nike is guilty of walking all over him -- by saying the shoe giant jacked his trademarked black, white and red design for a new line of sneakers.

Van Halen

ELVH Inc. -- Eddie's company -- filed a federal lawsuit against Nike last week, laced with allegations of copyright infringement. The suit claims a series of designs Eddie trademarked -- designs which have prominently been displayed on his guitars since 1978 -- were lifted by Nike without his consent.

The suit is not only seeking monetary retribution -- it also calls for "the impoundment and destruction of all footwear."

94. www.idealuggs.com in "UGG" boots, waits between shoots on the set of Crank 2: High Voltage, which I

believe just came out on DVD or at least I saw it on a UGG Classic

Tallwebsite. I'm not sure if these are UGG Classic Short or if they're made

by another company, but they're close enough for me.

95. During a break in the rain, I stopped to check my email before boarding the 6 train when I spotted

this dejected girl in a pair of wet chocolate UGGs. I think a lot of New York City

UGG boot lovers are saddened by all the rain,

because the rain makes it harder for them to wear their classic UGG boots, but the fall and winter seasons are right around

the corner, so "UGG Classic

Tall" - have a little patience.

96. Hollywood has a problem. It's red, boxy, lets you rent DVDs for $1 a night, and is severely threatening movie

studios from making money. The threat is Redbox self-serve Cartoon rental kiosks outside

McDonalds and in grocery stores.The Associated Press reports earlier this week 20th Century Fox

ordered its wholesalers not to sell Classic Movies discs to Redbox

until 30 days after a Healthy  initial

release to help boost retail sales.

97. The first thing I noticed was that the best puma

shoes is incredibly light. Being the curious sort, I put it on my digital kitchen scale to weight it.

One Men's Puma

Future Cat Low clocks in at 10.75 ounces — an ounce lighter than my Under Armour running

Men's Puma SF

Trionfo Low . The Cell Voltras capitalize on Puma's 10CELL technology used for building

soles. Essentially, it's a layer system designed to create cushion and shock absorption as well as

rebound. To see what I thought of these Men's Puma Speed Cat , just read more.

each dual-Classic Timberland Boots, has a line of high-strength nylon sewing, playing double,

stitching holes, which posted a gore-tex. Paper-wide lead, coupled with a soft rings, these Custom

are a central part made of lightweight polyurethane soles facial midline suture. And on the uppers and
