HA! So, the “authority” on breaking celebrity news, TMZ has just been slapped with at $20 million lawsuit by Verne Troyer, AKA MINI-ME from the Austin Powers film! Just the other day, a sex tape was released with Troyer and his ex in some… well, interesting activity. And TMZ happened to air parts of it and run it online.

So, just Thursday, Troyer slammed them with a lawsuit from downtown LA, claiming that TMZ had violated his privacy rights (DUH) and then infringed on his trademark and copyright (Eeeeh… I care less about that than the privacy bit) since they ran parts of the tape. And then he went on to say that they’d violated his “right of publicity” as well as “misappropriated” his likeness and name.

He’s claiming that this tape got stolen then given to the guy, Kevin Blatt, who had been reponsible for distributing Paris’s little foray into that line of work.

On top of the damages, he also wants an injunction so that the video can’t be distributed anymore.
Here’s the best part.

TMZ reported it today. Now if that isn’t one of the funniest things you have heard all day then I don’t know what is! HAHA!
