Bankrupt Hollywood Video to work with customers

Bankrupt Hollywood Video has agreed to repair customers' credit, lower past due bills and provide proof of late fees.

Like a bad movie, the story behind Oregon-based Hollywood Video’s bankruptcy just won’t end. For now it’s a happy intermission for the more than 3 million customers the company said owe more than $244 million in late fees or for not returning rented movies.

Last January KGW viewers started claiming that Hollywood Video--or a collection agency it hired--was trying to collect on what customers called bogus bills.

Carie Bishop-Sanders said, “They (the collection agency) were saying I returned a movie late a few years ago evidently and now because of the late fees I owe them $99. I asked them for proof and they said they didn’t have to provide it, but that if I didn’t pay they’d send me to collections.

America's Next Top Model

Here in the land of America's Next Top Model, we technically won't be shelling out anything to purchase Jay Manuel's new clothing line because it's exclusive to Canada, for now. So what will our neighbors to the north be paying? Surprisingly, Jay opted for a totally affordable price point, despite his own designer duds.

ATTITUDE Jay Manuel will have pieces that go for anywhere from $12.99 to $139.99, so his line won't break the bank. And, his sizes range from 0-18, for all the fabulously ferosh, funky fresh, fiercely real girls out there. Tyra would be proud.

The line features '60s and '70s fashion inspiration, with a bold, Moroccan color palette, and includes pieces like seamed dresses, wide-legged trousers, pencil skirts, and modern suits that can transition from office to evening. The line will be rolled out in Canadian Sears stores come August, and will jump the border into American Sears stores in 2012. Can't wait.
