Jon Peters Hit With Multiple Maid-Fluffing Lawsuits

4:17AM Defamer Hollywood | Former Barbra Streisand lover/Perm-Tensility Quality Control Technician Jon Peters, who only recently spent millions to give his adoptive godson Kal-El Brandon Routh the most dancing-waterest wedding in Kryptonian history, is on the receiving end of yet two more sexual harassment lawsuits filed by exasperated staff members claiming to have been faded-superproducer-handled during their tenures at the Peters estate. From Page Six: The four-time-divorced mogul behind “Superman Returns,” “Ali” and “Batman” was sued Monday in LA Superior Court by Blanca Hernandez, who helped maintain Peters’ home and office. She claims Peters sexually harassed her by touching her breasts and buttocks, once tried to push her onto his bed when he was naked, tried to kiss her breasts – which he called “pillows” – and offered her money for sex.

Brad Grey Daydreaming About What His Former Studio Chief Scorecard Entry Might Look Like

6:43AM Defamer Hollywood | LATimes.com uses the occasion of former Warner Bros. head Terry Semel’s recent ouster from Yahoo! to assemble a handy, clip-n-save-quality scorecard helping you stay current on how your favourite former studio bigwigs are keeping themselves busy. While the group’s fortunes range from Peters’ tragically undercelebrated enshrinement on the Walk of Fame to Katzenberg’s ogre-enabled DreamWorks Animation moguldom, arguably none of them has enjoyed as fulfilling a second act as erstwhile Disney Grand Mouseketeer Michael Eisner, who is happily sharing his twin passions for low-rated basic cable talk shows and 70s-kitsch trading cards with his old friends.

Angry Hollywood Ex-Wives On The Warpath!

2:13AM Defamer Hollywood | One would think that the day that a humble former hairdresser [Ed.note - How many movies does a guy have to make before people stop mentioning he used to trim Streisand's bangs? This man made Vision Quest! Does that count for nothing?] is granted the career-validating recognition of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame would be among the happiest of his life, but Superman Returns producer Jon Peters must have been at least a little disappointed in how his Tuesday induction turned out. Not only did he wake up to discover that his best Hollywood friends had forgotten to purchase full-page suck-up ads in the trades celebrating his cinematic legacy and thanking the show business gods for bringing him into their lives, he also had to deal with some marital nastiness, says Page Six, the leading chronicler of his Walk of Fame Day letdown: JON Peters was the star when he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Monday – but his ex-wife, Christine, stole the show when she had a process server hand him court papers the second he got out of his limo.

Suck-Up Ads Letting Jon Peters Know Who His Real Hollywood Friends Are

2:19AM Defamer Hollywood | If the number of full-page Variety and Hollywood Reporter suck-up ads purchased in one’s honour on the day he receives Walk of Fame immortality is a reliable metric of an individual’s popularity in the industry, then we could quickly conclude from a quick survey of recent star-on-a-dirty-sidewalk honorees that everyone in Hollywood is trying to get into Halle Berry’s pants (in fairness, she did pretty much invite the whole town to get all up inside her), while no one but Warner Bros. would much mind if erstwhile hairstylist and Superman Returns producer Jon Peters decided to give up the moviemaking business and open a salon in Beverly Hills. Today’s Page Six reports: MOVIE people are laughing over the cover of yesterday’s Hollywood Reporter with a bleached-blond Jon Peters on the cover. Peters – the hairdresser who parlayed an affair with Barbra Streisand into a career producing such movies as “A Star Is Born,” “Caddyshack,” “Rain Man” and “Superman Returns” – was featured in the trade journal because he’s getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
