DENVER (AP) — A man who lives near Oprah Winfrey's new property above Telluride, Colorado, is suing her for allegedly blocking access to hiking trails open to neighbors for decades. 
 
 Retired physicist Charles D. Goodman claims Winfrey's Yellow Brick Road company, the property's former owners and the town of Mountain Village made a secret deal to close access to the trails that cut across the land purchased for $10.9 million in March. 
 
 The Denver Post (http://bit.ly/1v9yiQQ ) reported Thursday that the former owners, Hoyt and Carol Barnett, asked for a correction to property records shortly before selling the land. 
 
 Goodman claims that erased easements allowing residents of nearby homes to use the trails. 
 
 Mountain Village denies the accusation. Town community development director Chirs Hawkins said the correction only cleared up ambiguities and that the town and Winfrey's team want to continue to allow trail access. 
 
 In a written statement, Yellow Brick Road spokeswoman Wendy Luckenbill said the company will continue to work with the neighbors ensure "reasonable" access for neighbors over portions of the land. 
 
 The trails were established in 1989 after negotiations between Goodman and the U.S. Forest Service, which owned the land at the time. 
 
 Winfrey plans to build a mansion and guest home on the property starting this summer. Plans for the homes haven't been submitted yet but the project will require building a bridge over a ski run and cutting down an estimated 800 to 1,000 trees to comply with the town's wildfire mitigation policies.

 Information from: The Denver Post, http://www.denverpost.com ||||| An actress and dancer has sued pop star Britney Spears in Los Angeles Superior Court for allegedly breaking her nose during a rehearsal and refusing to pay her medical bills. 
 
 The woman, Dawn Noel, filed the lawsuit Monday claiming she was injured on Aug. 19, 2013, during a rehearsal at a private dance studio in Woodland Hills, north of Los Angeles, for Spears' music video for her single "Work Bitch." 
 
 In the complaint obtained by NBC News, Noel says that she arrived at 10 a.m. and rehearsed with other dancers and the choreographer until Spears arrived at 12:30 p.m. "in a disheveled and confused state." Although the choreography involving Spears "was fairly basic," she was "having difficulty learning the moves, performing dances steps and following simple directions," according to the lawsuit. 
 
 "After approximately half an hour of rehearsing, as (Noel) stood off to (Spears') side, Britney twirled in an unbalanced and reckless manner, arms extended out to her sides, and forcefully backhanded (Noel) in the face," the complaint alleges."

 The impact was so hard, the lawsuit alleges, that Noel and the other dancers "heard a cracking sound which they immediately knew to be the sound of (Noel's) nose breaking." 
 
 Noel "felt immediate intense pain and grabbed her nose," and Spears just said "sorry" and continued to attempt to learn her routine, the complaint states. 
 
 Noel tried to rehearse for another half hour before having to leave to see a doctor. She was diagnosed with nasal bone fractures and advised that she would need surgery. 
 
 According to the complaint, Spears and Reign Deer Entertainment agreed to pay her medical bills. Months later, Spears' representatives advised Noel that they would not pay for her treatment, the suit alleges. 
 
 Noel is also claiming her injuries resulted in "permanent disability" and prevented her from working, resulting in loss of present and future wages. The complaint charges battery and negligence but does not include specific monetary damages. 
 
 Attorneys for Spears did not respond immediately to calls from NBC News.
– Oprah Winfrey—a bad neighbor? That's what one man who lives near her new property above Telluride, Colorado, seems to think. Retired physicist Charles D. Goodman is suing Winfrey, claiming the property blocks access to hiking trails that were previously open to locals. Goodman says Winfrey and the prior owners of the property made a secret deal with the town of Mountain Village to erase easements that have, for decades, allowed nearby residents to use the trails, before Oprah bought the property in March. A rep for Winfrey's company says the company plans to allow "reasonable" access. Winfrey joins these six other celebrities involved in somewhat odd lawsuits: Taylor Swift is being sued ... over a number. Lucky 13, a clothing line, doesn't want Swift using the phrase "Lucky 13" on her own official merchandise. It's a bummer for Swift, who has long held that 13 is her lucky number. "Basically, whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a good thing," she once said. But not this time, apparently. Katherine Heigl is suing a drugstore for a whopping $6 million, and all over a tweet. The actress isn't happy that Duane Reade tweeted a picture of her carrying two shopping bags from the store along with the line, "Even @KatieHeigl can’t resist shopping #NYC's favorite drugstore." Britney Spears is being sued by a backup dancer who says that a "disheveled and confused" Spears, who was having trouble mastering the choreography for a music video, suddenly started twirling "in an unbalanced and reckless manner" and ended up smacking the dancer and breaking her nose. Nicki Minaj is being sued by her former wig stylist, who claims the rapper stole his wig designs and is now selling them as her own. Alanis Morissette is suing her housekeeper; the musician claims the woman stole her dog after becoming overly attached to it while Alanis and her husband were traveling. Last year, LeAnn Rimes sued her dentist, claiming he did such poor work that he caused "permanent cosmetic deficiency" and harmed her career. Click for eight more weird lawsuits involving celebrities.
