Maxine and Dawn Lose EnVogue Name Battle


Last year 90s girl group EnVogue went through a rather messy break-up after Maxine Jones and Dawn Robinson left the group and vowed to go on their own EnVogue tour without Cindy Herron and Terry Ellis [click here if you missed that].

Not so fast Maxi and Dawn. A judge just ruled they can NOT tour under the name EnVogue...

From TMZ
According to legal docs, a judge granted "EV" founding members Cindy Herron and Terry Ellis the exclusive right to use the name "En Vogue" while performing and touring ... after a long, drawn-out legal battle with former bandmates Maxine Jones and Dawn Robinson.
Here's what happened ... Cindy and Terry sued Maxine and Dawn for the name plus $1 MILLION in damages back in 2012. They claimed M & D were illegally touring under the "EV" name after the band broke up ... but had no right, since C&T owned the LLC.
The judge recently sided with Cindy and Terry -- giving them the name -- but said the duo failed to prove damages, and were awarded no money.
