Google to Unmask "Skank" Blogger

(CBS)  A New York court Tuesday sided with a model attempting to unmask an anonymous blogger she accuses of cyberbullying.

Canadian-born model Liskula Cohen claims that in August 2008, a site called "Skanks in NYC" featured on Blogger.com, Google's blogging service, published pictures of Cohen with words such as "psychotic" and "ho" as captions.

Cohen, a former Vogue cover girl, first filed her suit in January of this year.

"The ruling is limited to New York State and it doesn't look like it will be appealed so it will remain for the time being as authority over a City renown for lots of loose talk about celebrities. But this ruling does not apply to California, to Hollywood, or anywhere else these sorts of online comments could appear," CBS News chief legal analyst Andrew Cohen writes.

Steven Wagner, Liskula Cohen's attorney,told CNN that Google complied with the ruling Tuesday evening, and gave him the blogger's IP address and e-mail address.
Wagner said he suspected the creator of the blog is an acquaintance of Cohen, CNN reported.

Funny to hear all the jealous little girl's here...LMAO

I looked her up she is just a typical model bird barin with too much time on her hands.

And models wonder why they're generally perceived as not being the most intelligent women in the world? She's certainly not very bright to waste her time pursuing this as a legal matter. What we have here is another clear-cut case of more money than brains. (Then again, maybe it's her ambulance-chasing boyfriend attorney who's truly at the heart of the matter.)

These are people with too much time on their hands to worry about what these bloggers are putting out on the net. Maybe she is a ho and psychotic. If they sue the blogger maybe they will have to prove she is not these two things then the truth will come out. Most models I have met though seem about a burger short of a happy meal.

You have too much time on your hands too, apparently.
