(CBS) “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller is suing Fox, claiming he should be paid a hefty fee over the network’s newest talent competition series, “The X-Factor.” According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, 1 만원 꽁 머니 Fuller claims he negotiated an executive producer fee and credit on “The X-Factor” as part of a settlement of a 2004 copyright infringement lawsuit against former “Idol” (and upcoming “X-Factor”) judge Simon Cowell when “X-Factor” launched in the U.K. Fox, which airs “Idol” and will also air “The X-Factor” when it premieres in September, and Fremantle North America, which produces both shows, are now refusing to honor that deal, the suit alleges. “Fox and Fremantle made hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to the creative efforts of Fuller,” the suit states, according to THR. “Now, when it is time to finally perform on these unequivocal promises, Fox and Fremantle refuse to provide Fuller his executive producer credit for Defendants’ new television show, ‘The X Factor,’ and refuse to pay Fuller and executive producer fee ‘commesurate with his duties and stature in the entertainment industry.’ Defendants refusal to honor their promises made to Fuller is particularly malicious given that but for Fuller’s agreement, the ‘X Factor’ show would not be able to broadcast in the United States at all.” When Cowell launched “X-Factor,” Fuller sued,...

The deaths occurred Sunday night in Portbou, a Spanish town just three miles from the French border.

The tossed cigarette apparently started a fire on the pavement which quickly spread to woods along the road before the cars could escape and officials could shut the thoroughfare, Deputy Mayor Elisabet Cortaba said Monday.
