U.S. Ant, Anthony Kalloniatis, is suing the U.K. hosting duo Ant and Dec, because he says he's losing work over name confusion. The U.S. Ant is suing Ant and Dec for $30 million and doesn't want the U.K. Ant to use his name in the U.S.
Their credentials:
Ant and Dec are a popular hosting pair in the U.K. and just recently hosted ABC's Wanna Bet in the U.S. this past summer, while U.S. Ant got his start on Last Comic, and hosts Celebrity Fit Club.
Who has more cred? What do you guys think of this lawsuit?

lol. most likely he doesn't get more than $10G's/ep for Fit Club (if he's lucky), that's a pretty true number based on hosting rates.
I have no idea where the 30 mill number came from??? i could understand if was seacrest, but he's not even close.

and the $10G's is a high number for hosting cable. Unless he's an executive producer on the show, which he's not his rates would be higher.

Wah wah wah. "Oh, I wanna be known as the ONLY creepy little gay comedian with a stage name derived from some of the most irritating voracious scavenger insects on the planet-TUH! It's all about MEEEEEEEEEEEE-UH!" Puh-LEASE! How about fighting over a name worth having, like Christmas or Electricity or Molybdenum? You're totally right, Flipit, he should change his name to "Ass"...
love, J-Mo :)
