COURTS
Mike Myers finally got the Dieter monkey off his back. After a series of lawsuits over Myers' refusal to make the film Dieter, the feuding parties issued a statement Aug. 10 that they had ''reached a mutual resolution'' in which Myers will star in an as-yet-undetermined project coproduced by Universal, DreamWorks, and Imagine Entertainment ... Combative musician-actress Courtney Love, 36, was slapped with a lawsuit Aug. 15 by Background Productions for alleged defamation on the set of Beat, a biopic of the late William S. Burroughs. In the suit, one female Background employee claims Love barred her from the set and humiliated her by calling her a puta — Spanish for ''whore.'' Love could not be reached for comment ... On Aug. 15, O.J. Simpson, 53, sued author Lawrence Schiller (who helped write his memoir I Want to Tell You) and his former lawyer Robert Kardashian in an attempt to block the upcoming CBS miniseries based on Schiller's other O.J. tome, American Tragedy. The suit alleges the book and miniseries use privileged information from Simpson's murder trial without permission. The L.A. Superior Court declined Simpson's request to stop production; he still seeks punitive damages. Schiller's lawyer declined to comment; Kardashian couldn't be reached.
