Trivia Pur$uit

A Houston-area woman has filed a lawsuit against a porn star, claiming she stole her name. Lara Madden, 25, has appeared in about a dozen X-rated movies under the stage name ``Syvette Wimberly''. That's the problem. The real Syvette Wimberly was one of Madden's classmates at Kingwood High School and is suing Madden for invasion of privacy and emotional distress.

    A good Thursday morning, David!

    I'm now thinking to myself, what girl from my high school would have the "perfect" porn star name for any other classmate to take upon entering the industry?

    oooh just remembered Nicola Andrews (or Nickerless Andrews as some called her). If you ever read this Nicola, it wasn't me.

    Well, that was pretty damn stupid of her. If you're gonna steal a name, make it a little less unique.

    Guess she must have stolen her lunch money at school or something - talk about bearing a grudge..

    Hi Brian,

    Exactly the same question I've been asking myself - and I still haven't come up with the answer!

    Cheers

    Hi Papoosue,

    I just got an email from Nicola's lawyer, asking for your contact details.

    I suddenly developed amnesia - just as you should too!

    Cheers

    Hi Bart,

    Maybe she thought she'd never make the bigtime.

    Cheers

    Hi Carol,

    That's one way of sorting out a grudge, isnt it!
