Pay Up!

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?????

OMFG
She could always sell her HOT sons!!!1
Gross. She scares me.
first!
HAH
I cant stand the Gottis.
Why is this scumbag allowed to keep all the blood money her lowlife family STOLED?
who didn't see this coming?
Her kids are spoiled little brats and should be put to work!!!
HAHAH! THAT would be a great couple!
later that day, after swindling my publishing company out of thousands of dollars, i finally took some time to take a bath. when suddenly the door bell rang, who could it be i wondered?
Re: Nick H – Stoled????
second…..woohoo!!!
who cares! her sons are hot!
who the fuck is she!
she looks like a goddamn vampire
FUCK VICTORIA GOTTI, WE WANNA HEAR ABOUT HER HAWTT SONS =)
YEAHHH victory and michael would make ONE HOT MESSSSSS together!
They have to be the ugliest family ever to appear on reality television.
Victoria needs to pay up and FUCK OFF
She has one of THE worst Behaved kids. I watched her show ONCE. And I wanted to slap her.
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
Ms Gotti is a very savy woman…this doesn't sound right.
If her father was still alive he would give her and her spoiled sons a good ass whoop.
I have no Idea what any of you are talking about. The Gotti family are great people and if you dont think so then You will end up with Jimmy Hoffa and McBratney….
WHO ARE THE GOTTIS? READ UP ON THEM….
or he would hire someone to do it
her sons are hot though
She has the worst taste in houses, clothes, furnishings and style of any sort. Plus her kids are ignorant spoiled greasy punks. I thought we had seen the last of her.
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?
Umm….her father killed people for a living…is the publishing co that surprised she didn't play by the rules…..lolololol
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?
i want to lick victorias sons assholes one by one.I want to fuck them with my poz cum.
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.
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?
She's and her kids=trash.
GUIDO FIST PUMP!!!!!!!!!
her father was a crook murderer motherfucker,
what do you expect.
why do we even care.
he's dead and gone
and she should be ASHAMED of who her father was.
not writing a book about her life and her spoiled hair gelled sons.
I just love her, she ROCKS!!!
hag
Re: Nick H –
dumbfuck its stole not stoled,stoled thats not even a word.
Well…she IS a Gotti…
She is the ugliest tranny looking douche bag. She thinks she is the height of glamor and elegance and sexiness. NOT! HAve another nose job, 'Lil Kim started with a smaller schnoz than yours…get rid of the flammable Barbie doll hair, hide the fucking crypt keeper hands or at the very least get your nails done they are all sort and probably gnawed on…get Mariah's retoucher to do your future book covers.,…better yet dont appear on them! What an douchebag embarrassment you are to all of us proud HONEST hard working Eyetalians in the audience!
That's messed up. She would never look good with michael lohan. She works hard and is a single mother which is not easy. Publishers should be careful on how much they shell out prior to recieving the written material from the author anyway. If what she handed in was unacceptable, then maybe they should have rewarded her with 70 grand after the fact rather then paying directly up front in case something like this did happen.
wouldnt that be funny if there all the sudden was a hit on fat perez, or some accident?
Ummm, I wouldn't mess with a freakin MOB BOSS' DAUGHTER. Seriously? I'd rather flush 70G's down the crapper than piss off a Gotti. One word: Connections. Eat the loss, learn from your mistakes and never make deals with mafia relatives again.
"P.S. Wouldn't Victoria Gotti and Michael Lohan make the hottest couple together????"
Uh, yeah, that's exactly what we need…more Long Island CUNTS who are a disgrace to the human species. FUCK THEM ALL!
why is she using the gotti name? mediawhore… *cough*
Is it me, or does her left shoulder look obscurely huge??
She's still wearing the WIG She claimed was Her real hair! lol
Where are Her disrespectful Pups?
Perez, stop trying to 'out' people who don't want to be outed. I think you have a heart of gold, but an acid tongue, and it does not befit the person you are becoming. I get sick of you insinuating Oprah is gay, Anderson Cooper fists people, etc. Who gives a shit? It just turns you into Poor little Mario, fat boy sitting in the closet, eating Snickers bars and potato chips, jacking off to New Kids posters. And it makes me sad that he still lives inside you. Cast off that old baggage. Please stop forcing people out. It's the equivalent of the fat people nightmare of everyone seeing you naked, or your backpack splitting open mid hallway and your gay porn pops out.
Let's send a message to Perez: Everyone who is sick of him forcibly outing gay people, don't comment for a week, starting MONDAY. In fact, get rid of your addiction completely. Let's send a message to Mario that we think he is getting too big for his britches. PEREZ HILTON SITE BAN- June 9 through 13. It will make the record execs. that own his site shake in their boots!
They are not the Gotti boys, their last name is not Gotti, it's Agnelo, they just called the show Growing up Gotti, If they called it Growing up Agnelo, know one would have know who the hell they were talking about.
uhh yeah what about carmine and john?? they were so pretty…
She lives off of mob blood money. Her father was a murderer and a crook. The father of her children is a mobster. Is anyone surprised that her kids are trash and she flaked out on her contract? I never understood the fascination some people have with the mob. Talk about glorifying evil. Devil horns look like they belong on her.
If I ever see those fucking gotti boys Im gonna slap the fake tan off their faces. Fucking disgrace to Italians. I hope you all die in fire. You better hope you don't EVER run into me!
This one should be scrubbing floors for a living. Listen to the way she talks. Complete trash. getoffourisland.com, bitch.
It's funny how she NEVER talks about how she's Jewish. Her mother is Jewish…….
She bee one fine white womans. I sure do thinks some brother could go for her white ass. Hell if I don't gets this prezidentcy gig I may goes after a taste oh dat myself? Obama Lahma
Re: Obama – OBAMA LAHMA, you are one smart dude. I hope you win in 08 you are so smart and honest. I love that sweet talking Non-Racist wife or yours too, she really lets the devils know how we see them.
Re: Snoop – ED MCMANN… Hey Snoop can you loan an old friend a few bucks for house payments? Eddie
Re: Christ – The same people who glorify DWI's in Hollywood of young starlets.
Same thing - different crime. I see more of Lindsey on Perez because of BS than I see her in the movies as a starlet. She is more famous for her BAD antics than her good - that's why Victoria can be a STAR.
