Former supermodel Janice Dickinson has hit back at a lawsuit which accuses her of attacking a woman outside a school last month, insisting she was nowhere near the alleged incident.
Jill Gatsby has filed suit against the reality TV star, claiming she was picking up her child from a Los Angeles elementary school on 28 September and after failing to find a parking spot, moved some trash cans onto the sidewalk to make way for her car.
She alleges a woman from a nearby house came outside and became aggressive, and when she took out her cell phone to record the incident, the woman allegedly grabbed it and hit her with it.
The lawsuit states Gatsby conducted an internet search when she got home and determined the woman who attacked her was Dickinson.
According to TMZ.com, police do not believe Dickinson is a suspect, and the supermodel has denied any involvement in the incident.
She tells the website, "In no way shape or form was I present during this alleged altercation."...

(Tanna Frederick in Henry Jaglom's "Just 45 Minutes From Broadway," above, with David Garver.)
By Terry Keefe
The manner in which Iowa native Tanna Frederick received her break as an actress has sort of become a independent filmmaking legend, but it bears repeating, as a lesson in the type of chutzpah required to get anywhere in the film business. After a few years of struggling in the audition trenches of Hollywood, Frederick was told by a fellow actor that filmmaker Henry Jaglom often responded to fan letters. Frederick proceeded to write a copious letter to Jaglom, praising the merits of his 1997 film Deja Vu…which she had never actually seen. Nonetheless, a correspondence between Frederick and Jaglom began, and eventually, Jaglom gave the actress permission to do a stage production of his 1971 film debut, A Safe Place, the cinematic version of which starred Jack Nicholson, Orson Welles, and Tuesday Weld.
