Simon Fuller: I Should Get Credit for X Factor!

The X Factor drama never ends, and it is still 2 months before it premieres.

TMZ Reports that Simon Fuller is suing Fox Broadcasting and Fremantle claiming he should have Executive Producer credit as well as other fees.

Fuller filed a legal complaint, and his publicist told Deadline.com that Fox and Fremantle refused to honor a 2005 contract that Fuller claims gave him both the title and the cash.

I ask: Why are filthy rich people so greedy?

UPDATE: Fox and Fremantle issued this comment: "Mr. Fuller has not been hired, nor performed any duties, on the U.S. version of The X Factor. His suit seeks payment and credit as an executive producer despite his neither having been approved by the required parties, nor hired, as such. We believe this lawsuit is without merit, and we expect to prevail."
