Raymond Weil Sues Charlize Theron
Luxury watchmaker, Raymond Weil has brought a whopping $20 million dollar lawsuit against its former ambassador, Hollywood actress Charlize Theron.
What exactly did Theron do?
Well, The South African model signed on as the face of a multimillion-dollar ad campaign in October of 2005, allegedly agreeing to wear only Raymond Weil watches whenever she went out in public.
In her capacity as an “international ambassador” for the company, Theron was responsible for showcasing and promoting the limited edition line of diamond-covered Shine watches, which sell for $7,000 and have straps made of gold or alligator skin.
Not a bad deal for a cool $20 million, right? Especially for an actress who hasn't seen too many blockbuster hits recently in the movie department.
At the time Theron was hired by Weil, she was also hired by Christian Dior to a 3 year contract for a fraction of the $20 million thrown at her by Raymond Weil. In fact, it is reported that she is only getting $6 million from Dior.
So what does she do....
She ticks off her sponsors by turning up in a Tourneau catalogue wearing a diamond-encrusted watch over the words, “Charlize Theron wears Dior.” She was also photographed at a Texas film festival last March allegedly wearing a Dior watch.
Now Raymond Weil is suing Theron for two timing them and making them look stupid after all this money they gave her. They claim a clear breach of contract with respect to the alleged clause that she could not wear/promote another designers watch during the time she was contractually obligated to Weil.
Says David Jaraslowicz, the attorney for Raymond Weil..
"“If you’re the model for Ralph Lauren, you can’t show up wearing Gucci at the Academy Awards." “She undercut our entire ad campaign.”
“We spent a fortune on an ad campaign centered around her,” Jaroslawicz said. “Then she goes off and makes us look silly in the industry by wearing Dior.”
Hey Charlize!
You shouldn't spit in the well that provides you with your $$$$$$!
....unbelievable!!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
