Metallica’s Lars Ulrich is being sued by his former assistant.

Marin Independent Journal reports that Lars Ulrich of Metallica fame is being sued by his former assistant, Steven Wiig.

A Sausalito man who worked as a personal assistant to Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has filed a lawsuit claiming years of unpaid overtime.

Steven Wiig, 38, is seeking unspecified damages for alleged state and federal labor violations, breach of oral contract and continuing wages, according to the suit in Marin Superior Court. The lawsuit names Ulrich and Team Tours, a Burbank company that issued Wiig’s paychecks, as defendants.

A case management conference is set for June 24 before Judge Lynn Duryee.

Steven Wiig appeared at 1996’s Metallica Club Fan Can #1. Wiig can also be seen in 2004’s Metallica documentary Some Kind Of Monster.

Metallica is scheduled to play The Big 4 show in Indio, CA at the Empire Polo Club on April 23rd, 2011.

Saturday Night Live, The Social Network and Mark Zuckerberg.

I would like to say that I have not watched Saturday Night Live in 10 something years, I only checked facebook once a week or less and I have not seen The Social Network. I would also like to say that I was involved in the making of The Social Network, a small role in the production.

Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is making a cameo on Saturday Night Live with Jesse Eisenberg as host. How do I know that? Twitter. Wired.com said so.

Recap:

  • Have not watched Saturday Night Live in years.
  • Have not watched The Social Network even though I did some work for the production.
  • Have a Facebook account, but not really active on it.

I guess I won’t be talking about this Saturday Night Live when other people do (that’s you, Leo Laporte and TWiT).

Dear Intel, what the hell are you thinking?

Intel teams hires will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame as “director of creative innovation.”

I am not a corporate-minded person so I would never understand why Intel would do so.

Why will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas?

  • Carlos Mencia is not available.
  • Kanye West is too expensive.
  • Kid Rock is too busy hanging out with strippers.
  • (insert remarks here)

I posted this because:

  • I am running out of ideas of what to write today.
  • I am actually sick with a cold.
  • There are other news, but it takes a lot of time to write about and this one is too easy.
  • Two of the above.

Back to bed.
