Steven Seagal is Rip Kickjaw in his latest action thriller, HARD TO PROVE:

The show had Seagal as real live reserve deputy down in Jefferson Parish Sherrif's Office, but the show took a hiatus when the woman filed the lawsuit. The Star-Ledger described it thus: she alleged "Seagal lured her to New Orleans with a job as an assistant but expected her to act as an on-location sex toy." Seagal's lawyer, according to TMZ, said the woman was fired for drug use.

What we really want to know is when the show starts up again. Here's one of the better reviews:

I think that's a qualified "yes." But what of Miss Nguyen? Googling around finds us some images, most of which are safe for work. Here's one she may regret:

Hi there!

That's a still from the Tyra Banks show. CBS news says:

Nguyen appeared on a Jan. 2009 episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" entitled "The Gay Kingdom," according to TMZ.

You think Seagal's lawyers may have used that clip in the legal proceedings? Congrats! Here's your Junior Perry Mason badge.
