Oprah Sued

OPRAH WINFREY IS FACING A LAWSUIT FROM A FORMER FLIGHT ATTENDANT ON HER PRIVATE JET.

THE WOMAN CLAIMS SHE WAS FIRED AFTER BEING FALSELY ACCUSED OF HAVING SEX WITH THE PILOT WHILE WINFREY AND OTHER PASSENGERS SLEPT.

SHE SAYS ANOTHER FLIGHT ATTENDANT, ALONG WITH THE DAUGHTER OF WINFREY'S FRIEND GAYLE KING, MADE UP THE STORY.

ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, SHE AND THE PILOT WERE FIRED SHORTLY AFTER THE ALLEGATIONS, EVEN THOUGH THEY PASSED A POLYGRAPH TEST ABOUT THE INCIDENT.

THE WOMAN IS SEEKING MORE THAN SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM WINFREY'S COMPANY HARPO, AND THE TWO ACCUSERS.

A SPOKESMAN FOR WINFREY AND HARPO SAYS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SERVED WITH THE SUIT YET.

SINGER CARLY SIMON SAYS STARBUCKS' MUSIC VENTURE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO PROMOTE HER 2008 ALBUM, AND SHE'S REPORTEDLY SUING THE COMPANY FOR AT LEAST FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

A LAWSUIT FILED FRIDAY IN LOS ANGELES ALLEGES THE ALBUM WASN'T AVAILABLE IN A "SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER" OF STARBUCKS STORES WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED.

AND WHEN THE C-D WAS FULLY STOCKED, IT WAS SOLD AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE.

STARBUCKS SAYS IT MET ALL ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, BUT THE ALBUM RECEIVED A "TEPID RESPONSE" FROM MUSIC CONSUMERS.
