Former actress Anna Nicole Smith's half-sister is suing the publishing firm behind her biography of the late star. She is alleging the company failed to give her a proper contract before releasing the tell all book. Donna Hogan penned Train Wreck: The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith about her older sister, who died of a prescription drug overdose in 2007. The book was released later that year, but Hogan claims bosses at Phoenix Books and Audio, Inc. went ahead with publication without signing a formal contract with her. In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles California Superior Court this month, Hogan alleges company chiefs failed to promote the book or attempt to sell the movie rights. The papers also accuse Phoenix Books of withholding a $200,000 advance payment which Hogan claims to have been promised, as well as 40 per cent of the biography’s gross profits.

At least this one sounds like it's slightly legitimate- allbe the source of the litigation being a book she wrote about her "beloved" sister titled "Train Wreck." Wow.
