Chubby Checker Sues Hewlett-Packard Over 'Chubby Checker' APP
Rock 'n' roll icon Chubby Checker's lawyers have filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against bosses at technology giant Hewlett-Packard over a software application that estimates the size of a man's penis based on his shoe size.
The Twist hit-maker, real name Ernest Evans, is far from amused by The Chubby Checker app, and he filed suit in Florida on Monday.
The application boasts: "Any of you ladies out there just start seeing someone new and wondering what the size of their member is? All you need to do is find out the man's shoe size and plug it in... Now with the Chubby Checker ther...

'The Twist' Voted Best Single Ever
Rock 'n' roll legend Chubby Checker's signature song The Twist has been voted the most popular single ever in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

READ MOREChubby Checker To Perform With Justin Timberlake And Beyonce?
Rock'n'Roll legend Chubby Checker wants to record duets with Justin Timberlake and Beyonce Knowles - because he believes he inspired their music and dancing. Checker claims his 1960 hit The Twist revolutionized dancing, and Timberlake and Knowles are his disciples.
