May 12, 2008What happens in Vegas...
Working on an opening post. Meantime, Mat Bowles brings to the table an issue worth watching.
UPDATE - Press Gazette - Johnny Vegas sues Guardian and Observer over 'grope' story: Comedian Johnny Vegas has begun libel proceedings against Guardian News & Media over two articles which claimed he had molested a woman during a stand-up performance. At the centre of the libel claim is a piece by Mary O'Hara, published in the Guardian's G2 section on 1 May, headlined: "Since when is sexual assault funny?" O'Hara, who was in the audience at Vegas's gig at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London, claimed in her report that the comedian "gratuitously groped a woman on stage". The comedian is also suing over a follow-up comment piece in the Observer on 4 May, written by comedian Jackie Clune and headlined: "Sorry, but that really isn't funny, Johnny". Vegas has hired law giant Schillings to bring the action against the Guardian and Observer publisher. The two pieces have since been removed from the Guardian website.
