British Daily Mail columnist Allison Pearson is being sued over for an undelivered manuscript of a chick-lit novel for Miramax, who also had the film rights, reports the Telegraph. (Miramax also paid £700,000 for the film rights for her previous novel, I Don't Know How She Does It—which despite being purchased seven years ago has not become a movie yet.) There's been speculation that critic-pandering Harvey Weinstein—when he was at Miramax—might have been inspired to buy her book because of Pearson's husband is New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane. To add to Harvey's spouse-ingratiating charges, Weinstein Books recently published Kathy Freston's Quantum Wellness—she's the wife of former Viacom head Tom Freston.
