The Hollywood actress Geena Davis’s decision to sue a Duluth, Minn., charity has drawn mostly jeers from celebrity bloggers.
Ms. Davis accuses the group, Dads and Daughters, of allegedly taking her idea for a charitable program that deals with gender equity in children’s entertainment. On its Web site, the charity has denied the charges.
The lawsuit has made the Thelma & Louise star a target for scandal-loving celebrity watchers.
“Nothing says ‘I’m doing this out of the goodness of my gentle heart’ than throwing a temper tantrum over someone allegedly walking off with your charity idea,” writes Heather Cocks, on Defamer.com,
a celebrity gossip blog.
To make up your own mind about the case, the official complaint is available on the gossip site TMZ.com.
