LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Iran is considering suing the film Ben Affleck film Argo with attorney Isabelle Coutant-Peyre. The nation of Iran wants to sue over Argo’s depiction of their county. They reportedly have spoken to Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, a French lawyer who is engaged to Ilich RamÃrez Sánchez aka Carlos the Jackal. She previously represented Zacarias Moussaoui. Moussaoui was the French citizen now serving a life sentence without parole for his involvement in the 911 attacks.
Shargh Daily and Iranian news is reporting today that Coutant-Peyre has been talking with Iranian officials about how and where to sue over the film Argo. The move came after a purported effort by Iranian cultural officials urging national reaction to the film.
The group had reportedly screened the film privately in a Tehran theatre this week. That screening prompted officials to take swift reaction against the film.
Officials are angered that in their opinion the film uses an “unrealistic portrayal” of their nation and is purportedly anti-Iranian. Iranian news also took issue with First Lady Michelle Obama presenting the Best Picture award to Argo. “In a rare occasion in Oscar history, the first lady announced the winner for Best Picture for the anti-Iran film Argo, which is produced by the Zionist company Warner Bros,” Fars News wrote this week.

VIDEO! Watch video of Ben Affleck as Keith Olbermann on SNL! Ben Affleck impersonates Keith Olbermann for SNL. Was the Saturday Night Live skit even funny?
Ben Affleck is getting thumbs down for his version of Keith Olbermann with people saying the impersonation was off, the skit too long, and one even claiming you could barely tell it was Olbermann in the first place.
“Ben did a poor job potraying Keith (I wouldn’t have known who he was portraying except for the “Countdown” graphics.) I love KO, and sometimes his passion is over the top and deserves parody, but I have never heard him cut off anyone on his show, or twist the facts that the guest delivers .”
Another writes:
“Uhh no he [Olbermann] will not think it is hilarious and I am sure that Ben will be the worst person in the world because of it.”

BRENTWOOD BABY! Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck just increased Brentwood, CA’s cache spending $15 million for their new celebrity mansion. The Brentwood celebrity home of Garner and Affleck could be Brentwood Park, but is being is reported as lesser Brentwood today.
In fact, usually by this hour, LALATE’s fav real estate friends would have posted the listing pictures and more. Alias, no such luck.
So LALATE jumped online to search for the celebrity mansion’s listing to see if any Brentwood mansions are currently listed on the MLS at $15 million. And to luck, there is one on the equally desirable Oakmont Rd at $16.7 (but still listed as active). Could that be the one, or did Garner and Affleck buy on Oakmont Rd? Probably not. So where is it?
Stay tuned!
