Gossip: "South Beach" Scandal (Jennifer Lopez Sued)

Post by: Shai


A show that was on UPN, created by Jennifer Lopez & Simon Fields are now being sued.

Lawyers fighting over whether Jennifer Lopez knows anything about the origination of a television series about Miami's modeling and nightclub scene may hear from the actress within weeks, though one lawyer promised: "I will not ask for her autograph."

U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman has ordered the actress to submit to a deposition by June 11 to answer questions posed in a lawsuit brought last year by a television writer who says the actress, UPN and CBS Television stole his idea and created "South Beach."

Writer Jack Bunick claimed in a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that the television series that debuted in January 2006 was too similar to a plot he described in 1999 for a pilot episode of a show that would have been called "South Beach Miami."
