December 6, 2005 -- CLAIMING that an "intoxicated" and "scantily clad" Anna Nicole Smith disrupted last summer's Live 8 concert in Philadelphia, organizers of the charity fund-raiser have sued the Trimspa diet firm for failing to control its sloppy spokesmodel and not paying a six-figure promotional fee. According to a federal lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in L.A. and posted on the Smoking Gun Web site, Trimspa agreed to pay Live 8 Productions $320,000 for commercials during the ABC broadcast of the July 2 show and for Smith to be "integrated" into the program. Live 8, which wants more than $500,000 in damages, contends that Trimspa not only stiffed the group on the promotional fee, but "to add insult to injury, when Ms. Smith showed up to the Philadelphia concert to be integrated into the ABC broadcast . . . she was intoxicated and scantily clad in revealing attire that was totally inappropriate for a broadcast that would be seen by millions of people." While Smith did eventually appear on the show, the group alleged she "damaged Live 8's reputation and goodwill in the entertainment industry by her unbecoming and erratic behavior."to which i say, um... what in tarnation did you expect?
