"'Borat' actor Sacha Baron Cohen wins Ala. suit over hit movie"

"'Borat' actor Sacha Baron Cohen wins Ala. suit over hit movie": The Associated Press provides a report that begins, "Borat to the Alabama Supreme Court: High fives! The nine-member court sided with British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen on Friday in a lawsuit filed by etiquette teacher Kathie Martin, who unwittingly appeared in his hit movie 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.' The justices overruled a lower court and said Martin can't sue Cohen and the companies that produced the movie in Alabama because she signed an agreement stating only courts in New York could hear any disputes that arose from her appearance."
