Foxy and Kim Being Sued

Fox Boogie and Lil Kim are being sued by Simon & Schuster in Manhattan Supreme Court for failing to deliver manuscripts for books they were supposed to have written years ago.

"Both books were long overdue and never delivered," said company spokesman Adam Rothberg.

Lil' Kim, real name Kimberly Jones, signed a deal to write an untitled novel in 2003. The manuscript was supposed to be done by June 30, 2004, but she still hasn't turned one in, despite pocketing a $40,000 advance.

Foxy, real name Inga Marchand, was supposed to have "an acceptable manuscript" done by Feb. 1, 2006, and still hasn't gotten it done, despite being paid a $75,000 advance.
