Steven Seagal's Reality Show Under Siege - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who knew Steven Seagal is still so hot people would sue over him.

A production company claims A&E stole its idea to do a reality show featuring Seagal. The Idea Factory claims it pitched some crazy ideas to A & E, including one where Seagal would live with Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. A&E was not impressed.

But of course, A&E eventually saw the light and decided to create a show with Seagal, sans Norris and Van Damme -- and sans The Idea Factory.

A&E says the show will portray Seagal's "real life."

Apparently, The Idea Factory has made rumblings of a lawsuit -- and also sent A&E a bill for "a vast sum." So A&E has filed legal papers, asking a judge to say they don't owe The Idea Factory squat.

I had read a month or so ago that Segal would do a show called Lawman of him being a cop because that's his other job besides acting, but I didn't know about this lawsuit business. Well, I'm sure my boyfriend would be kind of interested in seeing his reality show that starts in December.
