We've finally had a chance to read former New York Post reporter Jared Paul Stern's lawsuit against shopping-market magnate Ron Burkle, filed today. One of Stern's lawyers for his new lawsuit, Larry Klayman, has already sued the Clintons endlessly—some say crazily!—so it's no surprise that there's tons of anti-Clinton stuff in JPS v. Burkle and everyone else. But what else is the truth, according to Jared Paul Stern's filing today?
1. Frank Renzi, former Secret Service, later head of security for Burkle's company Yucaipa, in cooperation with P.I. Richard Di Sabatino, ran surveillance and "dirt-gathering" on Richard Johnson, his family, and other Page Six staffers.
2. Tom Harvey, New York lawyer, is a frequent source on his own clients for Page Six.
3. Publicist Michael Sitrick pimped all the Burkle info to the NY Daily News, telling them Stern was about to be arrested for extortion after a recorded meeting between Stern and Burkle.
4. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton helped in the schemes!
5. Reporters disturbed Jared's dog!
6. Ron Burkle owns Radar.
7. Radar called JPS "extortionate."
8. The Clintons have more than 40 scandals, including Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, and Chinagate. (Which one was Chinagate?)
9. Then Pellicano shows up in the mix! Is that thing still going on? Pellicano is like Hitler: Once you mention his name, all rational conversation stops.
10. Burkle pays Bill Clinton $12 to $15 million a year.
11. Burkle's house is a scene of numerous debaucheries!
12. Our favorite New York Post cartoonist Sean Delonas gets a mention!
13. And to the six counts! Libel, emotional distress, interference in business relationship, injurious falsehood, abuse of process, civil conspiracy. Of course, a call for jury trial.

12(b)(6) dismissal anyone?
So who does he sue for either the shirt/tie combo or the enormous forehead?
If he wins, maybe he'll buy a rug to top his ugly mug.
@Sigerson Holmes:
From the screen capture earlier (I'm not going to check) I thought the suit was in New York State Supreme. Rule 12(b)(6)is the Federal Court rule. Under either one, the defendant is saying in essence "the plaintiff hasn't stated an injury that the law recognizes and provides a remedy for, so dismiss the complaint."
Jenny, are you independently wealthy, which might explain why you have the time to devote your life to the comments section?
Un peu moins, ma chere.
@The Brazilian:
With all respect due:
Va te faire foutre.
Larry Klayman? Didn't he sue his own mother once? Seriously. I don't have the energy to Google, but I'm pretty sure that little freak, who always seemed a little Matt Drudgey/Ted Haggerty (if ya know what I mean) during his multiple Chris Matthews appearances during Monica-gate later sued his mother. Appropriate company there for JPS, I guess.
what models is burkle hiring for these debaucheries? id like names of top models that are leased out for extracurricular hourly/nightly sums. t i a
I don't think people can be "extortionate." I think only inanimate objects are.
[ED FACTCHK!]
Lay off JPS. He is one of the nicest, most humble media people you'll ever meet. And his style is impeccable. Though that's a bad picture-JPS, give 'em a new one with one of your spiffy hats.
@dishalicious:
so who else do you hang out with?
All I can say is that when I worked at Star w/JPS, there were many less-accomplished people with major attitudes. And he should sue the pants off everyone--he was libeled and slandered from NY to LA. I'm glad to see he's fighting back.
