Marisa Tomei Sued By Neighbor John Waters Over Leak In Her NYC Building

NEW YORK — A lawsuit claims a leak from Marisa Tomei's New York City apartment has damaged the homes of two downstairs neighbors, including director John Waters.

The neighbors' insurance companies filed the suit this week in a Manhattan court. The suit says the "My Cousin Vinny" actress' "negligence" caused a September 2010 leak that left more than $128,000 in damage at the building in Manhattan's Greenwich (GREN'-ich) Village.

Waters says in an email the case is a standard insurance claim completely out of his hands. The "Hairspray" director says there's no animosity between him and Tomei.

The insurers' lawyer and representatives for the Academy Award-winning actress haven't responded to messages left Thursday seeking comment.

It must be awfully stressful to be a celebrity and have this stort of stuff turned into a news story. Drip, drip, drip! Oh, I couldn't care less!

The most interesting thing in this article (again, over-hyped, under-tailed headline) is the fact that the writer felt compelled to give us pronunciation on "Greenwich Village". Might as well give pointers for Village as well. After all, it has a double-l which could be confused by Spanish speakers as "vi-ya-jay". Fail!
