Another person trying to get rich off of the rich

I swear, if you have two pennies to rub together, somebody is going to try to sue your ass and take them. This article is classic. I found it so hilarious that I tried to find more info on it and I just found out that he is ALSO being sued by former fans because some tabloids ran some stories that he is gay. They are suing for damages because they feel he has misrepresented himself and whatever. Your damages include the purchase of a CD and perhaps a t-shirt. Let me tell you something. Wal-Mart will take anything back. Return your shit there, even if you didn't buy it there and then move on. Perhaps I should sue my husband for buying me the crappy CD because he should have known I didn't want it. Or perhaps I should sue Clay Aiken because there was only one good song on it. Or perhaps I should put it with all the other CDs we have and don't listen to because that is what everyone does. Why do they care that he is gay? Were they planning on having sex with him? Move on people.

Author of Clay Aiken Book Sues Singer


Mon Aug 07,10:41 AM ET

The author of an "unauthorized tribute" to Clay Aiken is suing the "American Idol" singer, claiming he defamed her and conspired to stifle sales of her book.

Jeannie Holleman, 50, says she is a lifelong friend and neighbor of a Raleigh family that was friends with Aiken's mother, Faye Parker, and took her in when Parker and her young son left her abusive husband.

Holleman's 2005 book, "Out of the Blue 'Clay' it Forward," incorporates interviews from the McGhee family and her own recollections with stories from Aiken's fans.

In the lawsuit, filed Friday in Wake County Superior Court, Holleman claims Aiken, his mother and others conspired to defame her and depress sales of her book by denying they knew her, branding her stories as lies and demeaning the book on Aiken fans' Web sites.

The lawsuit also claims a bodyguard for Aiken manhandled Holleman at a fundraiser in Hawaii.

A telephone message left Sunday at Parker's home was not immediately returned. Messages left with Aiken's management company were not immediately returned.

The lawsuit seeks at least $260,000 in damages and asks the court to order Aiken to retract the critical comments or endorse the book on his official Web site, to write a positive introduction for the book and to sell the book at his concerts for at least five years.
