Chubby Checker Sues HP: The Street  NEW YORK (TheStreet) --
Every once in a while, a story like this comes along.  According
to a press release sent out this week, Chubby Checker (born
Ernest Evans) is suing HP for half a billion dollars. That's
half a billion dollars.  For those of you too young to remember:
Chubby, now 71, was a major rock star in the early 60s. One of
his songs was responsible for creating a monstrous dance craze
with the same name: "The Twist." It's the only song, ever, to
reach No. 1 on the charts twice (September, 1960 and January,
1962). He had a number of huge follow-up hits as well.  Consider
Checker as being the Psy of his day. Think I'm kidding? Check
