Heather Hunter has been vindicated! What do you mean, who's Heather Hunter? Ever hear of a little film called Screw The Right Thing? Bloopers And Boners? Hung Jury? Nevermind; according to her website, the retired porn star is "hailed as this generation’s most well-regarded sexual icon." And she's "ready to start another phase of her career.......as a rap superstar." But first she had to put a nasty lawsuit behind her, brought by her presumably less porny rival Dianne Miller, who has accused Hunter of stealing her idea for a novel about a porn star. Which is such an inspired concept, you'd think Miller would have an open and shut case—especially considering she gave Hunter a manuscript titled Insatiable Desires in 2005, and Hunter's 2007 novel is called Insatiable: The Rise of a Porn Star. But according to the Daily News, the judge threw out most of Miller's allegations yesterday, while telling the plaintiffs he was open to reconsidering the suit.
