Talent Agency Sues Christian Siriano Over Payless Deal

Not fierce.

Christian Siriano is being sued by his talent agency for not paying them their commission from his Payless design deal.

The Designer's Management Agency claims they orchestrated the partnership for the Project Runway winner back in 2008 and an oral agreement was made between Siriano and DMA that they would receive a 20% commission.

Christian's collab with the discount shoe company was originally a two year deal with an automatic renewal thereafter and that's when things started to get fishy.

According to DMA, Mr. Fierce went to Payless in February 2010 and asked that they pay him directly, thus cutting his agency out of their money.

Designer's Management Agency believes they're owed at least $53,000 and want to see the full accounting record.

Tootsie Roll Sues Footzyrolls

Rollashoe, the makers of the rollable ballet slippers Footzyrolls, is being sued for trademark infringement by…wait for it…Tootsie Roll!

According to the candy maker's lawsuit, the Footzyrolls name not only deceives consumers into thinking the shoe is associated with the Tootsie Roll brand, but also brings down the company's value.

Rollashoe owners Sarah and Jenifer Caplan quickly fired back at Tootsie Roll, saying:

"This lawsuit is completely frivolous and has no merit. This is just another example of Tootsie Roll trying to bully a minority-owned women's small business."

Tootsie Roll is asking the Caplans to ditch the Footzyrolls name and be compensate them for damages.

P.S. Ya'll might wanna stop selling the Footzy with the red soles before Christian Louboutin threatens you with his own lawsuit. Just sayin'.
