Eminem gets sued...

Games publishing outfit Conspiracy Entertainment is suing Eminem's
management company, Cousins Entertainment, for $5m for fraud and breach of
contract.

Conspiracy claims that a deal allowing it to licence the star's image in an
upcoming title was broken, when Cousins Entertainment and licensing firm
Bravado International sought to find a more high-profile licensing deal with
a larger company.

Conspiracy Entertainment CFO Keith Tanaka said: "We were not aware of any
problems until we started getting some press on our new product. Then we
started hearing rumours about Eminem negotiating a better deal with some
other big video game publisher. Apparently, our deal must have been in the
way, because there was no other reason for Bravado and Cousins to stop us
from introducing a video game that was approved before the contract ever got
signed."
