-- Old Navy apparently wants to call Miami Dolphins’ running back Reggie Bush as a witness in its defense of a $20-million lawsuit Kim Kardshian filed against it for using a singer/dancer who resembles her in its commercials. Kardashian’s argument was that doing so ‘caused confusion in the marketplace’ and violated her intellectual property rights. In other words, the only one who should make money for looking like Kim Kardashian is Kim Kardashian. Now Old Navy’s parent company, Gap, is reportedly investigating Kardashian’s worth, talent and reputation. Why is Bush on the witness list? Apparently because he dated Kardashian -- and later Melissa Molinaro, the singer/dancer featured in the commericals. [Hollywood Reporter]

-- A parish commissioner in Shreveport, La., is pushing for an ordinance to ban wearing pajamas -- or anything sold in the sleepwear department -- in public.
