Jim Belushi sues Julie Newmar for harassment (Reuters, 11/08/04)
Actor Jim Belushi has filed a $1 million lawsuit against his next-door neighbor, veteran actress Julie Newmar, accusing her of a "campaign of harassment" designed to drive Belushi from his home.Belushi claims that Newmar, 71, who played the villainous Catwoman on
the 1960s "Batman" TV series, destroyed a fence and landscaping on his
property, spied on his family and blared loud music into his backyard.The star of the ABC sitcom "According to Jim" also accused Newmar of
spreading "defamatory statements" about him, calling him a "peeping
Tom," "voyeur" and "sick."
There's nothing sick about trying to catch a glimpse of Catwoman. Then again, harrassing Jim Belushi shouldn't be illegal. Posted by Orrin Judd at November 9, 2004 7:27 AM
The spirit of Bob Cummings smiles down on Mr. Belushi...

Plus, for anyone who has never seen it the movie "Real Men" with Belushi and John Ritter is so funny it'll make you have a completely different view of him.
