Lots of lawsuit news today!

Cameron Diaz won her lawsuit against a photographer who tried to illicitly sell pictures he took of her before she was big and famous. The photographer, John Rutter, was convicted of forgery, attempted grand theft and perjury on the court for threatening to sell the photos to prospective buyers. He is currently serving part of a nearly four year prison sentence on those convictions.

Shortly before the release of Diaz’s “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” in 2003, photographer John Rutter approached the actress with a signed model contract — which the court later determined was forged — giving him ownership of photos from a session he had with her more than a decade ago. He claims he offered her the “right of first refusal” if she paid $3.5 million for them. The pics feature Diaz in fishnets and leather boots and in one pose, holding a chain attached to a male model’s neck.

Last year Cameron also won her suit against The Sun that claimed she was cheating on boyfriend Justin Timberlake with a married man. The UK tabloid admitted that the story was false.

Sheesh. Don’t cross Cameron Diaz! But do look at the nekkie pics of her after the jump.
