Pay Up!

This must hurt.

"Retired" actor Matt LeBlanc is off to court soon.

The reason?

Turns out the former Friends star owes some money - to his manager!

You never bite the hand that feeds you, Matt. If she found you work, you owe her a cut.

Reports are that LeBlanc is heading to court after allegedly failing to pay his former business manager, Camille Cerio, $1 million.

Cerio is suing LeBlanc for the obvious breach of contract.

She claims he owes her past due commissions for managing his career.

Her claims are that LeBlanc agreed to cut her 15% from all pilots but stopped paying her in 2000.

However, Matt is claiming that he's paid her more than $200,000. Cerio says that amount is nothing compared to the royalties he's received from Friends and that short-lived spinoff sitcom, Joey.

Trial is set to commence on September 22nd.

Let's see how this one turns out.

They better televise it!

      Oh yeah, his breach of contract is SOOO "obvious". Obvious to who? We, the little people, don't know shit.

      um…royalties doesn't equal 15% of Pilots lol.

      That doesn't make any sense. Obviously I dont think they've been together since 1994 so why does she think shes entitled to a huge cut of his money from 10 years on the same show?….
      It's times like these I wish Estelle was really his manager

      Check you facts next time before you start accusing people like this- MATT LEBLANC DOES NOT OWE HIS MANAGER MONEY! Because managers are not certified in any way the way agents are they cannot by law procure work for artists- therefore, the artist does not have to pay them. Managers work with agents to procure work and the AGENTS can lawfully do this and charge for it. Managers cannot. Therefore, Matt is in the RIGHT on this one…

      Looking great. What a dawg. I want his bone. Arf, arf!

      Sounds like somebody is greedy, probably out of work (no clients) and chasing settlement money instead of earned income. Hollywood rats!

      It seems impossible for a lawsuit filed this month to go to trial in September. Something is wrong about this story!

      Re: truth –

      you should check YOUR facts. Managers are legally allowed to secure employment and clients must pay them for their services. The main difference between managers and agents is that managers legally CANNOT negotiate a contract (although most do participate in the negotiation process anyway). However, Perez is should be careful about calling her a "business manager." Business managers and managers are two separate things. One manages your money the other manages your career. What Matt should be concerned about is that the manager is charging 15%. Industry standard commission is 10%, with many charging less is the client iis already an established star when signed.

      It will be settled the morning they show up for court.

      That nasty looking beard growing down his neck looks disgusting. Facial hair should be more groomed than that. Matt, trim it up a little. Your beard makes you look dirty–and I don't mean dirty in a good way!!

      And this is surprising HOW? From a guy who left his wife & baby when the going got tough — for his blonde, childless co-star? He has no ethics.

      All those people on that show—whatever it was called—Fiends or Friends—-always strike me as people who think highly of themselves but I can never figure out why.
