New YORK ,New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 27, 2011 --
A Taiwanese company wins a $724,000 dollar lawsuit against US artist talent agency when it failed to deliver a gig involving the famed rapper Nelly. The Taiwanese event company, the LOOP Production, filed a federal lawsuit against U.S. based Capital Connections Agency on Apr. 27th, 2010, after the LOOP attempted to book the St. Louis rapper Nelly for a gig on New Year’s Eve that never happened.

Capital Connections Agency, abbreviated as CCA, which bears a striking resemblance with CAA, the largest talent agency in North America. Billing itself as the representative of president Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, etc. According to New York Daily, in October 2009, the LOOP Production came in contact with CCA in order to book Nelly for a gig on New Year's Eve in Taiwan, believing that the company was directly responsible for the artist management of the rapper. After signing a contract with CCA president Durbert O'Neal Brandon Jr., theLOOP wired $40,000 to CCA to secure Nelly for the gig. Days later, CCA claims that they had received the money a day late, accusing the LOOP of breaching the contract.

After months of investigation and negotiation with CCA in the hope of receiving a complete refund, the LOOP eventually found out from Nelly's business manager, who denied to have ever heard of CCA. Even with the official denial from Nelly's real management, CCA still refused to refund the deposit.

On Apr. 27th, 2010, the LOOP filed a lawsuit with the United States District Court Southern District of New York, claiming CCA committed common law fraud and fraudulent inducement, RICO violation, aiding and abetting fraud, and breach of contract.

On June 6th, 2011, United States District Judge Laura Swain has ordered CCA and all other defendants including Escobar Entertainment, Inc., Durbert O’Neal Brandon Jr., Melvin Breeden, and Alisha E. Harris to pay up to $724,000 dollars in total accumulative damages.

Leila Shennib is Filing a Restraining Order against Jose Canseco

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 21, 2011 --
Dealing with what most would consider extreme drama, Leila Shennib is taking steps to issue a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Jose Canseco, a six-time Major League All-Star for fear of imminent harm due to his recent irrational behavior and angry outburst aimed towards her.

The move comes after model Lelia Shennib’s ex-boyfriend of two years tweeted nasty comments about her and even posted her cellular phone number on Twitter. Additionally, he insinuated that, if you offer her marijuana, she would be willing to do anything.

She has been dealing with weeks of rants from Mr. Canseco on Facebook and enraged telephone calls from him to her mother. Mr. Canseco started on Twitter – where he attempted to reach out to Ms, Shennib asking strangers to plead his case for him with Leila on June 3rd. On June 9th he proposed to her on Twitter. Just one day later his tone had changed stating “I made a total fool of myself for someone who never even cared about me. What an idiot I am.” On July 7th Mr. Canseco sent her a sizeable gift with the hopes of making amends. On July 8th Ms. Shennib made a request of Jose to stop harassing her Mr. Canseco again took to twitter with insults and harsh language and ultimately tweeted her personal telephone number while alleging false statements about sexual and drug habits that are clearly unfounded.

Ms. Shennib told the New Times “I never realized what steroid abuse can do to a person until now”. She does not want to allow this situation to harm her any more than it already has, that is why she is taking action in bringing her concern for safety to the attention of the courts.

Ms. Shennib will be on the steps of the “Stanley Mosk Courthouse” tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m., located at 111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, California 90012, prepared to hold a press-conference regarding this matter.
