John Cusack is suing a movie production company because it didn't have stopping power. Let us explain.
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Cusack claims Intermedia Film Equities USA convinced him to star in a film called "Stopping Power." According to the suit, Cusack was guaranteed $4.5 million, whether the movie was made or not. And he was promised all his expenses would be paid, including $50k to cover the costs of his staff on location.
Pitbull lawyer Marty Singer, who filed the suit, claims Cusack traveled to Germany and began production, but Intermedia came to him and said they couldn't afford to pay him the guarantee and eventually canceled production.
The suit claims Intermedia and the other defendants never had the funds to pay Cusack and fraudulently induced him to travel to Germany and then tried and renegotiate a lower fee. Now that's a Grosse Pointe.
Cusack wants $5,600,000 plus punitives.

Being famous has its ups and downs. On the plus side, you get that nice table in the corner. On the negative side, you get wackos throwing letters over your fence or rushing the stage at Jay Leno. Is it worth it? You be the judge! We've put together clips of five notorious obsessed fans- we'll let you decide which one's deck is missing the most cards.
Emily Leatherman claims she isn't in love with John Cusack. She says she only wanted him to help bring attention to the fact that she was drugged up and sex-trafficked through the homes of powerful and famous men up and down the west coast. See, that's why she threw bags over his fence filled with rocks, screwdrivers and long letters.

The judge ruled that Emily Leatherman to stay 500 feet away from the actor and must not attempt to communicate with Cusack, even by phone or email.
So what does Leatherman have to say about all this? She insists that she was only trying to contact famous people in the media in order to have them tell the world her tale of being sexually assaulted and harassed. She insists that the police refused to help her and that Tom Cruise's PR assistant gave her tickets to see Mr. Cruise.
In any event, Leatherman guarantees she will not bother Cusack again.

A Los Angeles woman was ordered to stay 100 yards away from actor John Cusack.
At a hearing Tuesday in Santa Monica, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Emily Leatherman must not in any way attempt to communicate with the actor, even by telephone or email.
Leatherman, who was present in court, had previously sent Cusack letters and shown up at places he was scheduled to appear over the last 16 to 18 months.
During the hearing, Leatherman told the judge she also had a legal run-in with Tom Cruise.
Cusack's court papers claim Leatherman has a history of arrests for assault with a deadly weapon. Cusack, who just turned 40, did not attend the hearing. Cusack states in his papers, "This person is showing unusual interest by stalking, throwing long letters of interest over my fence in bags with rocks and screwdrivers inside...." Cusack adds that Leatherman "...threatens to commit acts of violence against herself if I do not help her."

Seacrest and mystery woman
By TMZ.COM STAFF
(Mar. 5 10:30AM ET) -- It's hook-up time in Hollywood and TMZ has the hottest couples news.
'American Idol' host Ryan Seacrest has been linked with Playboy pin-up Lauren Michelle Hill.
But TMZ got this shot of Ryan with another blonde at The Ivy at the Shore in Santa Monica. An onlooker tells TMZ: "Ryan and the woman got into an argument inside the restaurant but they seemed to patch things up." The picture, however, doesn't look like all is hunky dory.

Meanwhile, John Cusack seems to be playing "cat and mouse" with both Lisa Bonet and Oscar winner Marisa Tomei.
This photo was also taken at The Ivy at the Shore. The mystery here -- exactly who is John with? The three walked out together, but onlookers say that inside the restaurant John and Lisa seemed pretty chummy, though John turned away from Bonet when he saw the photographers.
And it was "hook-up city" at the trendy Soho House LA this week during an ultra-exclusive pre-Oscars party.
