BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

OFF BEAT: Porn star Jenna Jameson ordered to pay for missed events

November 14, 2012 Reprints

An Illinois judge has come down hard on a porn star for blowing off some publicity events in 2008.

Judge Patrick Leston has ordered adult film actress Jenna Jameson to pay $92,000 to theater owner Ted Bulthaup for missing the events, which were intended to publicize Ms. Jameson’s 2008 R-rated comedy/horror movie “Zombie Strippers.”

Ms. Jameson claimed that an illness forced her to miss the events in Woodridge, Ill. When Ms. Jameson was subsequently seen at a public event in Los Angeles the next day, Mr. Bulthaup decided to sue for breach of contract.

The judge awarded Mr. Bulthaup $42,000 in compensation for airfare, ticket refunds and other direct expenses related to the appearances, and $50,000 to compensate for loss of publicity he incurred as a result of the cancellation.

Ms. Jameson was not in court for the verdict.
