LA – We Love It!
Kitson is this ritzy little Hollywood clothing store where lots of the young whores celebs like Lindsay and Paris like to get their shop on. A while back, Us Weekly magazine named the store “LA’s hippest hot spot.” Oh how the times change.
The magazine has now been sued by the store’s owner/founder, Fraser Ross. He claims that the magazine has undertaken a campaign to intentionally avoid all references to Kitson, despite previously having mentions aplenty, in an attempt to cost him business. Ross alleges that the magazine crops photos to remove his store’s name, and goes out of its way to avoid any caption or story references. The lawsuit claims that this is costing the store up to ten grand per week!!
Meanwhile, the FBI is currently looking into a paparazzi agency which allegedly hacked Us Weekly’s computers to find out about upcoming celeb stories. That agency is owned, in part, by Kitson’s Ross.
You gotta’ love Los Angeles, the only place on earth where even the stores that sell to the celebrities and the magazines who talk about the celebrities can get into the kind of stupid fights and bitch fests typically reserved for the celebrities themselves.
