Vince Bucci/Getty Images Former hairdresser turned movie studio executive turned producer Jon Peters (Superman) has lost a sexual harassment claim brought by a former assistant and has been ordered by a jury to pay $822,000 in lost wages plus $2.5 million in punitive damages to his accuser. Shelly Morita alleged in her five-year-old lawsuit that during the making of Superman Returns, Peters had got into her bed uninvited and fondled her. Jurors heard testimony how Peters withheld a $25,000 Christmas bonus until she signed a confidentiality agreement and how the producer of such films as Batman, Rain Man, and Wild Wild West exerted his influence in Hollywood to keep her from working after she quit. Peters reportedly will seek an appeal. In other entertainment legal news: Google is hoping to use a recent judge's decision concerning the liability ofMP3tunes to its advantage.

Jay-Z and Kanye West are facing legal action for allegedly not clearing a sample on their new album, Watch the Throne. The potential lawsuit comes from R&B singer Syl Johnson, who according to a blog post, is a "veteran of copyright infringement cases...[who] has done very well for himself clearing samples from his fertile catalog." A record executive who sued singer Johnny Gill for defaming her on Twitter with claims of an unauthorized leak has settled.

The plan is to distinguish those who provide a full range of services with the initials "p.g.a." compared to financiers, lawyers, and others who just get generic on-screen producer credits. The plan will limit the market for working producers, which is why it was necessary for the DOJ to provide an opinion that this wasn't an antitrust violation.

"Mad Men" Inspires Look Back for New TV Hits
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Basically, it's 'Mad Men', with boobs," quipped Joel McHale.The actor and comedian was joking recently about the upcoming drama series "The Playboy Club". But McHale could just as easily have been referring to much of the new fall season on U.S. television, as writers revisit the Swinging Sixties (and even the Seventies) in search of 21st century hits.Call it nostalgia, a chance to showcase sex, or the spell cast by multiple Emmy-winning drama "Mad Men", but period shows and reboots of classic series are making a comeback on TV."Pan-Am" on ABC is set in the early 1960s at a time when jet travel was glamorous rather than groan-inducing; "The Playboy Club" on NBC features 1960s Bunnies in Chicago; "Charlie's Angels" storm back to ABC from the 1970s in a modern remake; and if drab post-war London is your cup of tea, you will find it in 1950s thriller "The Hour" on BBC America.Writer and producers deny they are in the copycat business, despite widespread admiration in Hollywood for the stylish but slow burning "Mad Men" on AMC.But the critical success of the 1960s advertising drama -- despite its tiny audience of less than four million viewers -- has inspired others to mine a period ripe with social change."There was an enormous amount of American exceptionalism and hope and desire, and dreams that we were going to go to the moon. And yet the kettle was absolutely coming to a boil," said Thomas Schlamme, one of the creators of "Pan-Am".Christina Ricci, who plays one of the young flight attendants on the show, agreed. "There's that sense of excitement and freedom that goes with this sense of travel and everything being new."Ironically, what was seen entertainment wise on American television in the 1960s rarely captured the social, sexual, women's and civil rights revolutions of the era, said Robert Thompson, pop culture professor at Syracuse University."1960s television was all about talking horses, monsters in the suburbs, flying nuns, witches and genies. It is as though the exciting '60s happened, but the entertainment television made at the time totally ignored all those things."What 'Pan-Am' and 'The Playboy Club' can do is show an era in a TV series in a way that the actual era could never have done because of tighter standards and content rules at that time," Thompson said.Sexy or Sexist?But some of the behavior and attitudes considered standard in the early 1960s are seen differently through modern eyes."The Playboy Club" (and to a lesser extent "Pan-Am") are already under attack for portraying women as sex objects.Some critics have suggested that both shows are going after big audiences simply by showing pretty young women in Playboy Bunny and stewardess costumes that are regarded as sexy.The shows' backers reject the accusations. "Playboy Club" executive producer Chad Hodge described his show as "all about empowering, and who these women (Bunnies) can be, and how they can use their position to get it."Schlamme of "Pan-Am" said the various ways women were treated by men in the early 1960s provided a great source of drama with multiple storylines.Different problems faced the updated "Charlie's Angels" and a 2011 remake of the British police drama "Prime Suspect" that originally starred Helen Mirren in the early 1990s.NBC's "Prime Suspect" is playing down the overt sexism among police toward women officers-in-charge that marked the original series.Creator Alexandra Cunningham said the new version with Maria Bello would be more humorous and would "try to make it more realistic, because sexism isn't gone.
