Carter sued over lack of album

Signature Networks is suing Aaron Carter and his parents for half a million dollars plus legal fees over a merchandise deal tied to an album he has not delivered.

One would have thought Aaron Carter not getting round to recording an album should be welcomed, but a US company isn't impressed with the former teen star's failure to produce any new material and they are suing him over it.

It's not Carter's record company feeling frustrated about the lack of new music, but a company called Signature Networks, who had seemingly signed a deal to distribute merchandise that would tie in with any new album release. It has been seven years since the last Carter album, and presumably Signature assumed they'd get a kick back from their merchandising partnership with the pop star much sooner. They are suing Carter and his parents (because the pop star was a minor when the original deal was done) for half a million plus legal fees.

If you're bothered that the lawsuit might prompt Carter to rush release a new long player, don't worry; he's far too busy preparing for his appearance on US TV show 'Dancing With The Stars' to be doing anything as tedious as recording an album.
