in Spago Partners Dispute

In most places,van cleef knock off flower necklace, Puck is a piece of rubber you whack around an ice rink, and Emmy is your great aunt. Not here in Los Angeles, where many of America's household names live, work and litigate adding grist to the local legal mill.

To resolve a legal dispute that surfaced among Spago's original partners last year, Wolfgang Puck and Donald Salk were ordered to pay partner Michael Elias $71,621 for use of the Spago name. Elias maintains his financial share in the original Spago, but is not involved in the Beverly Hills eatery or others being spawned in Chicago, Las Vegas, London and Tokyo.

Elias had sought an injunction against the Beverly Hills Spago, saying it created unfair competition. A second Spago would undermine his investment, Elias contended, and violate the terms of a 1981 partnership agreement in effect until 2015.

Everyone returns to court next month, when Elias' lawyer, Peter M. Appleton, will be asked to show why the case shouldn't be dismissed. In other words, it seems you can stick a fork in this flap; it's done.

THE DONALD DISSES AND TELLS: Donald Trump was a no show at the recent trial over his land squabble with the Los Angeles Unified School District and development of the downtown Ambassador Hotel site. But he had plenty to say in a deposition, which fell into our hands while we await a ruling in Trump's $100 million suit against the district.

First, a little background: New York real estate high roller Trump paid $64 million for the property back in 1989 and had billion dollar dreams for his first West Coast project. Maybe even the tallest building in the world. Enter the school district, which condemned the site to build a school. By the time the district abandoned its plans, Trump says in the deposition, his property values had tanked. The experience made this project his "first and last" in Los Angeles, Trump said.

The extensive Q session in a New York law office spared no detail,van cleef and arpels knock off butterfly necklace. Even Trump's autobiography and the tie he wore on its cover were fair game for school district lawyer Edward J. Sczepkowski.

Trump groused that the land was grabbed from him "as viciously as in Nazi Germany" and called school board members "fools." Adding further insult, Trump opined: "I assumed that the people essentially teaching the kids were not stupid. They turned out to be very stupid."

LARRY FLYNT VS. THE PEOPLE AT VAN CLEEF ARPELS: It's no secret that Larry Flynt likes his baubles. But he probably wishes he had never seen the $230,000 ruby and platinum bracelet at the center of a dispute with the Beverly Hills jeweler Van Cleef Arpels. The case was headed for trial last week in Santa Monica when a judge ordered the Hustler publisher and his jeweler into arbitration. If the case doesn't settle, look for an Aug. 4 trial, says Flynt's lawyer,van cleef replica clover necklace, Robert S. Friemuth. Flynt alleges that in 1993 the store sold him a defective bracelet that keeps dropping its rubies. Stephen R. Kahn, a lawyer for the jeweler, asserts that there's "nothing defective" about the bracelet and contends that Flynt "abused the bracelet." How? "He wore it every day, all day." Apparently, such wear and tear is not recommended for an accessory Kahn describes as "a very delicate, very fine handmade piece of exquisite art." The store has offered Flynt credit toward other purchases, but the prince of printed prurience is seeking $290,000 in damages.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY: The National Academy of Television Arts Sciences has turned to the courts to protect its 9,000 celebrity members from stalkers, crank callers, paparazzi and junk mail.

The TV academy on Thursday will ask Superior Court Judge Robert H. O'Brien for a permanent injunction blocking distribution of its membership list, which includes names, addresses and phone numbers of many small screen stars. Meanwhile, the academy is pursuing a lawsuit against Premier Mail Service Inc. and its president,van cleef alhambra fake necklace, who are accused of buying the list from a former academy employee who also is named in the suit.

The academy, which hands out the annual Emmy awards, keeps the list under tight wraps at its North Hollywood headquarters, attorney Calvin E. Davis said. It is used to ship videotapes of nominated shows to members who vote on the Emmys.
