Let's hope the boys at Houck Construction like naughty co-eds -- otherwise Joe Francis may have to write them a fat check.
Francis is being sued by a construction company that did work on his Bel Air, Calif. home. According to the lawsuit, Francis racked up a construction bill of $403,363.27. The company claims Joe forked over $356,329.61 -- but must have forgotten to carry a one or something because he still owes them $47,033.66 (plus another $24,848.19 in interest).
Perhaps Joe can trade a few thousand copies of "Girls Gone Wild Freshman Sex Orientation" to make up the difference.
Newly freed dog-fighter Michael Vick is gonna need a hammer and a hard hat to rebuild his image -- dude just got a job as a construction worker.
TMZ has learned Vick is set to start his work release job at WM Jordan Construction in Virginia. But if the former NFL star is sent out into the field, he will be extremely limited -- meaning he won't be allowed to work on any government sites because he's a felon.
We're told people in the company think Vick got the job because he used to work for the company back in his Virginia Tech days.
Seattle Mariners all-star Ichiro Suzuki is being sued by a construction company that claims he struck out swinging when it came time to pay his bill.
According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Ichiro hired American Technologies to perform construction and remediation services at his home in Los Angeles. American claims they lived up to their end of the deal, but Ichiro never forked over the $131,774.25 he was billed.
The company is suing for what they're owed, plus attorneys' fees, costs, and interests.
A call to the Mariners was not immediately returned.
A massive fire chased Billy Ray Cyrus from the stage of an "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" concert tonight.
Sources tell TMZ Ty Pennington had just arrived for the taping in Hesperia, Calif. when flames raced through the Boulder Creek Ranch right next door to the concert venue.
B-Ray was going to perform as part of an episode of the ABC show being shot in the desert town. The blaze forced producers to postpone the concert. Hesperia FD says no one was injured, and the home makeover was not affected. Story developing...
In an attempt to turn his contempt towards his "dickweed" neighbor into something comical, Ashton Kutcher thanked the construction workers below his house for putting off their hammering until well after 7:30 AM.
Doing his best John Cusack impression, Kutcher and Demi blasted Peter Gabriel, held up a sign reading "Free Hugs" and even chucked bottles of Vitamin Water down to the rooftop workers below.
With his tail firmly tucked between his legs, a substantially calmer Ashton Kutcher got back in front of his webcam just minutes ago and apologized for verbally bashing his "dickweed ... jackass" of a neighbor over today's early morning hammering incident.
Ashton Kutcher went absolutely insane when he was woken up by a neighbor who started construction on a house at 7:30 in the morning.
Kutcher got a camera and taped the explosion -- it's an instant classic.
Ashton has been blogging updates on the situation all morning -- here are the unedited highlights ... with spelling errors and all:
-- this SOB owl feces cougar placenta jack bone dick! -- Jack ass 7am building a goddamn fort next to my house f'in up my view and noise polluting the entire f'in neighborhood with pounding steal -- holy moly I'm gonna lose it! -- this ass clown has another thing coming! -- I'm gonna kill my neighbor!
Demi also fired off some shots on her website as well -- here are those unedited gems:
-- calm and gentle baby you can pull out the paint gun later! -- baby keep it together there should only be another 5 months of this. -- the neighbor doing consruction with 6 guys pounding hammers against steel at 7am is no way to wake up!
The man who is building the house that caused Ashton Kutcher to melt down says the actor is acting "silly."
Bruce Goldsmith, a screenwriter, says he's "startled" that Kutcher went crazy this morning at 7:30 AM, complaining of noise at Goldsmith's construction site.
Goldsmith was quick to point out the city of L.A. allows him to start construction at 7:00 AM, and that Ashton "just doesn't want to deal with reality." Goldsmith says Ashton, who called him a "dickweed," a "jackass" and "owl feces cougar placenta," is "out of line." As Goldsmith says, "they don't make hammers covered with rubber."
Goldsmith finds it somewhat ironic that the house Kutcher lives in was built over a ten year period and neighbors had to deal with the noise.
He adds Kutcher has been pleasant in the past but has complained, with Goldsmith telling him he "can't do anything about the noise." He's been building the house for six months.
