Rock lawsuit dismissed

A U.S. judge has dismissed a £3.5 million plagiarism lawsuit against funnyman Chris Rock.

The Everybody Hates Chris star was at the centre of a suit from Regina Kimbell, who alleged he stole her ideas for his upcoming documentary Good Hair.

Kimbell claimed she showed Rock her show, My Nappy Roots, back in 2007 - and he subsequently ripped off her idea, which features celebrities discussing different African-American hairdos.

Rock hit back at the allegations, insisting the only similarity between the projects was the topic.

And a judge agreed with him, dismissing the suit on Thursday (08Oct09), according to TMZ.com.

The show will air in America on Friday (09Oct09).
