Eminem's Mum Sued

Neal Alpert and the Rachel Erin Corporation launched a breach of contract suit
on Monday (7 Apr) over Nelson's recently published book 'My Son Marshall, My Son
Eminem: Setting The Record Straight On My Life As Eminem's Mother'.
The lawsuit claims that Nelson entered into a contract in November 2005
agreeing to let Alpert act as her exclusive agent for various radio, book, TV
and motion picture deals, in return for 25% of the gross profits, but that she
then developed and wrote 'My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem' without Alpert's
knowledge, after entering into an agreement with another agent in July 2006.
According to the lawsuit, the book, initially released in the UK in September
2007 and due for its US release this week, has so far sold more than 100,000
copies, yet neither Alpert nor the Rachel Erin Company have received any
commission.
