Mel Gibson-Related Website Gets Sued

[bluesman]

Looks like someone didn't take my advice seriously about clearly making all celebrity websites look like innocent non-profit fansites. (Judge for yourself - http://www.oksanagrigorieva.com .)

It was registered for a two year span to start with in April of this year, by someone working for the Laveley and Singer company (PR guys?) in Los Angeles, California. Here's the recent news story on it:

GIBSON'S GIRL SUES OVER WEBSITE

(WENN NEWS -- HOLLYWOOD) Mel Gibson's pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is suing a group of internet entrepreneurs who snapped up her domain name.

The Russian singer is accusing bosses at web hosting company DreamHost.com of 'cybersquatting' on the site OksanaGrigorieva.com - and making it look like her official website.

Her lawsuit was filed this week in Los Angeles.

Grigorieva is currently expecting her first child with Gibson.

As a sidenote, one subtle thing I always find funny is the way the media sides against all domainers in much of their language: when a star gets a domain name related to them, they just "got" a domain, or have "now gone live" with a domain. But when a non-star does the same thing, they "snapped" it up, "snatched" it up, or "grabbed" it up! Pretty funny stuff.

Site doesn't load for me.

No site load - anyone have a screen cap?

Well, i really don't care about that girl, but Mel Gibson is still one of my favorite actor. I just wish their relationship really last long.

This story makes no sense. The domain is only 1 month old, she is suing DreamHost for making the site and an entertainment law firm is listed in the whois.

There is something fishy about this.
