Tattle: K-girls named in lawsuit

THOSE ADENOIDAL Kardashian sisters - Kim, Kourtney and Khloe - are on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit over a weight-loss product they endorsed.

THOSE ADENOIDAL Kardashian sisters - Kim, Kourtney and Khloe - are on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit over a weight-loss product they endorsed.

The New York Daily News reports that the suit claims the faux reality stars made "unsubstantiated, false and misleading claims" in ads, interviews and tweets about how awesome QuickTrim was.

Attorneys for the four plaintiffs - it isn't a very big class . . . yet - are also peeved at QuickTrim's maker, Windmill Health Products, for claiming QuickTrim "curbs cravings," "promotes weight loss" and "burns calories."

All it really burns is a hole in your wallet.

The Food and Drug Administration recently evaluated QuickTrim and discovered that its principal ingredient is . . . caffeine.

So basically it's expensive coffee - without the nice aroma.

As for the Kardashian-centric advertising for QuickTrim, the suit contends that it encouraged customers to spend energetically on the entire QuickTrim product line, including "cleanses."

The cleanses, the suit implies, only clean out your bank account.

The suit goes on to conclude that the Kardashian sisters "personify" QuickTrim, which did $45 million in sales, and are therefore liable for damages.

Hey, everyone knows that if you want QuickTrim, you find a Kardashian sister.

Food fight! Jazz hands

This will make you want to shout!

Universal Pictures Stage Productions said yesterday it's developing a musical based on "National Lampoon's Animal House."

"Animal House: The Musical" will feature an original score by Barenaked Ladies, a band frequently on double-secret probation, with direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, who also directed "The Book of Mormon" and "The Drowsy Chaperone." Michael Mitnick will write the book.

Brian Littrell of the Back-

street Boys has told Georgia police that $120,000 in jewelry was stolen from a Stone Mountain hotel where he and his wife were staying.

The jewelry wasn't stolen while the Littrells were in the room, however. After they'd checked out, they realized the jewelry had been left on a nightstand. When they returned to the hotel to retrieve the items, they were gone, they told police.

Leighanne Littrell says the $120,000 in jewelry included her $110,000 engagement ring.

* Israeli and French filmmakers

are teaming up to make a movie based on the assassination of a Hamas operative in Dubai.

It's a comedy.

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh died in January 2010, when hit men entered his Dubai hotel room. Dubai police suspected Israel's Mossad spy agency, but never proved it. The complex operation, in which several disguised agents were caught on hotel cameras, remains unsolved.

Israeli producer Michael Sharfshtein and French partner Manuel Munz are now prepping a $5.2 million comedy called "Kidon," the supposed name of the Mossad's assassination department. The film posits that French and Israeli small-time criminals killed al-Mabhouh and framed the Mossad.

* Britain's Tate gallery says it

has bought a work by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei made up of eight million ceramic sunflower seeds.

Tate said yesterday that "Sunflower Seeds 2010" consists of 13 cubic yards of seeds, hand-crafted by Chinese artisans.

Thankfully, none of them was spit in the Phillies dugout.

months ago, but the Los Angeles Times reports that Universal is again planning to make the movie "Ouija."
