An Alabama etiquette coach who got a little nudie-pic shock in "Borat" is taking off her white gloves and suing Sacha Baron Cohen -- almost a year after the movie was released. Sexy time -- to give it a rest!

Kathie Martin, who runs the Etiquette School of Birmingham, Ala., is just the latest Borat "victim" to bring legal action against Cohen and 20th Century Fox. In Martin's suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, she alleges "commercial misappropriation, fraud, unjust enrichment, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress" by the movie's producers, and is seeking undisclosed damages.

In her scene in "Borat," Martin is shown a naked picture of Borat's "son" during the course of their "interview." Another Birmingham etiquette coach, Cindy Streit, filed a complaint with California's Attorney General last year, alleging violations of the state's Fair Trade Act.

A source tells the NY Observer's Transom the studio was unhappy about the casting choice, and when Robert refused to find someone else, the studio's only option was to drop the deal altogether. A Rose by any other name -- will not do!

Rodriguez has denied these claims and said that the reason for the parting of ways was all about budget, saying that the original backing offered by Universal was $60 million, but by shooting time, costs had ballooned to $72 million.

Common, who plays T.I.'s dad in the film, tells AOL Black Voices that T.I. should continue to pray, saying, "Know that God is with [you]. Know that He knows what the truth is and the truth is going to allow [you] to get out and be alright." Unless, of course, the truth is T.I. did it -- because then he's screwed.

Wu Tang Clan co-founder RZA also had an opinion, saying, "One of my security guards said, 'Don't you ever buy a gun, because you can afford all the security." Perhaps RZA should have given T.I. that advice sooner -- or at least given him his security guard!

The mother-of-four was snapped Monday on the L.A. set of her new 1920s film, "The Changeling," looking like a Prohibition era hottie. What a stretch!

Now we know why she's so thin ... it's the Great Depression!

The pair managed to avoid being photographed together on the red carpet. But at the after party, director Gavin Hood pulled the pair together for a couple of forced photos.

Jake looks thrilled, doesn't he?

"Kill Bill" star Uma Thurman isn't going to play The Bride any time soon!

Despite reports to the contrary, TMZ can exclusively report that Uma Thurman is not engaged to her Swiss millionaire boyfriend, Arpad "Arki" Busson. Thurman's rep confirmed to TMZ that engagement rumors are "not true." The truth about Uma and Arpad!

Uma has been married twice before; to actors Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, with whom she has two children.

And it was in full evidence yesterday in midtown Manhattan, as he plodded down the street, brow knitted, scowling as our guy tried to get him to say hello -- or anything -- to the camera. "I don't want to be filmed," moaned Giamatti, despite our lensman's best efforts to engage him.

The lucky lady joked that she thought paparazzi were there for her, while Clooney and waitress/arm candy Sarah Larson made their way to a waiting limo. Larson is recovering from a busted foot after she and Georgie were in a New Jersey motorcycle spill.

Love hurts.
