Terry Richardson and Lady Gaga have always been two nutcases that stuck together. But there is a slight problem now: and it involves a court case. According to both Petapixel and Complex, a former assistant of Lady Gaga’s is suing for many, many hours of unpaid work. To be specific, we’re talking about $393,000 for 7,700 hours. Jennifer O’Niell, who is suing GaGa, is being represented by lawyers that state that the photos are going to be sufficient evidence for the case.

Richardson tried to fight the subpoena by claiming the pictures didn’t have anything to do with the case and felt the measure was harassment–let alone a major waste of his time. But the courts are demanding that the photographer “hasn’t demonstrated to [the court] that there is any significant burden in producing the photographs,” according to what the New York Daily News states.

Crazy, huh?

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
