Feds Seize $76.8 Million In Designer Fakes

Dayum!

Federal authorities made one helluva haul during a six-week sting operation dubbed "Operation Holiday Hoax".

The majority of the 327,000 items seized in the US, Mexico and South Korea were counterfeit fashion items like Jimmy Choo, Rolex, Uggs, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada and Coach valued at $76.8 million.

In Los Angeles alone, the feds took $4 million worth of merchandise with fake True Religion products making up 70% of the seizure.

So far, no one has been arrested, but deputy special agent in charge of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Kevin Kozak expects arrests will be made once they find those who are responsible for manufacturing, importation and distribution.

Dutch Magazine Publisher Not Sorry For Rihanna N-Word Article

Just when we thought this thing was over, this guy had to go and run his mouth.

The publisher of Jackie magazine is taking back ousted editor Eva Hoeke's apology (even thought it was a half-assed one at best) for calling Rihanna a n*ggabitch because according to him there was nothing wrong with the article.

In fact, he thinks Hoeke's biggest mistake was not standing by her article and giving in to the harsh criticism.

Yves Gijrath said in a statement:

"[T]here is nothing wrong in the magazine. [Hoeke] presented it as a joke, but it most certainly was not a joke. It was an interpretation [of a fashion style]. […] She should have said: “we did not realize this interpretation is such a touchy subject. We never meant any harm and offer our sincere and upright apologies.” But because of all the fuss, Eva started to wiggle in all directions, and therefore we have come to the conclusion her credibility has been undermined."

Wow. Is this guy for real?

Lets see if Yves stands by his own comments when the backlash hits.

The Kardashians Might Not Be Using Slave Labor After All

The executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights is in damage control mode after Star magazine quoted him in their Kardashian Sweatshop Scandal article.

Charles Kernaghan says the gossip rag took his quotes out of context and doesn't have any proof the factories producing K-Dash by Kardashian, the Kris Jenner Kollection and ShoeDazzle shoes are violating child labor laws or human rights.

Since the news broke this morning, Kris Jenner has denied the allegations insisting the factories are "strictly policed".

ShoeDazzle owner Robert Shapiro echoed the momager's statement, adding he and his team have "invested tons of time, energy and money to ensure the factories are operating in good standard".

So…how long until they file a defamation lawsuit???
