In LA Superior Court, Grand Central Station for Hollywood celebrities behaving badly, Samah Panzarella’s attorney filed a lawsuit accusing Jay Noble of paternity, abandonment, and emotional and mental cruelty. Panzarella’s suit sought $20,000 a month in child support and $8 million in damages. Within minutes, Merryprankster.com posted the news under the head-snapping lead: “Jay Noble’s Baby Mama Sez: Pay Up or Else!!” The news landed in DC like a howitzer. Jay’s cell phone went off at 6:10 a.m. as he rode in a government sedan to the White House. It was a thoroughly unhappy Charlie Hector. “Jay, I want to see you and Phil as soon as you get in,” he said with clipped efficiency, his voice jagged. “We’re going to get a lot of press inquiries about this lawsuit, and I want to make sure we have our facts straight.” “Phil knew this was coming,” said Jay, trying to sound calm. “But the timing’s horrible.”
