Pay Up!

Filed under: Legal Matters > Z List

Here's a former Z-list reality celeb we haven't heard about in a while!

It's Victoria Gotti, and her name is in the press again. But this time, it's for a lawsuit.

Turns out that HarperCollins Publishers is suing the mob-related Gotti.

The reason?

Turns out she collected $70,000 on a book advance to write her memoir but never wrote the damn thing.

They are charging that Gotti signed a contract back in 2005 to write two books. The manuscript for her memoir was to be submitted by September of 2005.

Three years later, the book has yet to be published.

The suit claims that Victoria submitted an outline of the book twice, but they were rejected and deemed as "unacceptable" stating the outlines "were not capable of producing a complete manuscript."

Otherwise meaning, "Your book sucks. Re-write it!"

Then, in September she informed HarperCollins that she was ending the contract for her memoir.

According to her agent, Frank Weiman, he says Gotti will get another book deal soon and return the advance.

As for the reason of ending her contract, he says it's because the people Gotti used to deal with at HarperCollins are no longer worker there, and that's why she canceled.

Ok, we're calling it.

Bullshit!

P.S. Wouldn't Victoria Gotti and Michael Lohan make the hottest couple together?????

    Actually, I have to stick up for Gotti– Judith Regan was her editor and the books were supposed to come out on regan imprint. Regan also produced her show. They were very close

    Is she still wearing that hideous weave? She has more things to worry about then a lawsuit, she should worry about how her useless boys are turning out. How long before they are in jail now Vikki?

    Actually, if her contract contains a "key person" clause, she can leave if her editor/publisher quits.

    Doesn't stop her from being a skank tho.

    How nice.
    She marries a mob man, makes money out of it by making a show and getting glammed up, and publishes a cookbook.

    Bravo. She's reached life's ultimate goal.
    Applausi?

    This family is an embarassment, especially her kids with that attitude and the way they walk around with their noses up in the air. My parents and grandparents, in fact for thousands of years back are Italian and immigrated to America. I am embarassed by the way they portray Italian-Americans. They are so dumb that they don't even realize that what they are all proud of is their father/grandfather, John Gotti who killed people and made money illegally. They are an embarassment to the Italian community and if I were them, instead of being all proud, I would hide my face in the deepest whole possible!

    Re: Monie – Perez Hilton readers are so well-informed, that I rarely feel the need to write any comments! Monie is right - entertainment contracts, literary contracts in particular, often have clauses embedded in them that say if a "key person" leaves who was there when the contract was signed leaves, the author can get out of the contract. Also in literary contracts are clauses that say that the outline and manuscript have to be "acceptable" to the publisher

    BLEHHHH!!! Is she creeping back into the limelight? I don't understand why somebody can become a celeb because their family were murders and other various crimes. Why not put OJ on a pedestal! Gross people…. really gross!

    Well the cat's out of the bag–Victoria cannot read or write. She probably had my disgraceful retarded grandsons write it for her. Those boys are fuckin worthless.



  36. 36

    Looks like we have some New Jersey "Ashley Dupre" wannabe ho's commenting on this board. Only these cum buckets would think the Gotti boys, with their double-digit IQ's and poser-rap dress, are "hot." Is it any wonder this nation is heralded as one of idiots?
