Book publisher Simon & Schuster is suing two hip hop divas - Foxy Brown and Lil Kim - claiming they have both failed to deliver books for which they were paid advances. They claim they paid Brown 75 grand in 2005 to deliver an autobiography the next year, while Kim received $40,000 in 2003 for a novel, which she was due to submit by June 2004. Presumably both hip hopstresses' jail terms got in the way. The publisher is suing to have its advances returned.
