In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court Tuesday, Mars -- whose real name is Peter Hernandez -- says that his contract with Bug ended on May 12, 2011 because the publisher didn't exercise its option to continue it.
Mars's lawyer, Michael J. Niborski of the law firm Pryor Cashman LLP, wrote that Bug initially acknowledged that Mars fulfilled his part of the contract, and that in order for the deal to remain in effect, Bug would have to officially extend its option to continue.

"The Cut" written by George Pelecanos
31 Aug 2011 01:27:24
Agents attributed the flood of similar ideas to the success of Lee Child's novels about Jack Reacher, a war veteran who roams the country righting wrongs and then vanishing like a modern-day Lone Ranger.
But what seems like an overused idea can turn into something special in the hands of a master. Veteran crime novelist Ace Atkins proved it earlier this year with "The Ranger," the first in his series of novels about Quinn Colson, an Afghanistan war vet who returns to wipe out a criminal gang tha...

Patricia Bosworth wrote a book about dramatically Jane Fonda's life
31 Aug 2011 01:26:35
True to her subtitle, author Patricia Bosworth centers her insightful book "Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman" on the woman more than the performances of the two-time Oscar winner. The Vanity Fair writer knows a good personal story when she hears one — and how to tell it with spark and meaning.
Fonda has put as much or more energy into creating and recreating herself off-screen as on. Just as her characters in "Julia" and "Coming Home" reinvent their lives or find a new purpose, so ... Read Full Story

Book "The Help" is still popular
28 Aug 2011 23:41:39
Potent as co-producer Chris Columbus' track record is -- with such landmarks as "Home Alone" and an adaptation of some note involving a kid named Harry Potter -- the project got lots of studio rejections before it got traction.
But now DreamWorks' Stacey Snider -- who decided with partner Steven Spielberg to greenlight the film -- is reaping the commercial benefits of what cannot have been an easy call.

All tru life in new book about Wendy Wasserstein
28 Aug 2011 02:13:19
In plays like the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning "The Heidi Chronicles" and her autobiographical essays, Wasserstein unerringly tapped into the innermost yearnings of baby boomer women. She created a persona so warm and endearing — the Yiddish word is "haimish" — that strangers thought of her as a sister, daughter or friend.
Now, in the first major biography of the playwright since she died of cancer in 2006 at age 55, veteran journalist Julie Salamon presents a thorough and engaging account of a co... Read Full Story

Police figure Gordon's death is either an accident or a suicide. Gwen, the protagonist of the story, isn't so sure. As she pokes into the case, she and the surviving friends are pulled back into the past — to what happened long ago in those dark woods.
Each of them, it turns out, has a different memory of it. But it's not just because childhood memories warp over time. It's because each of the old friends, and their parents as well, never knew more than a small part of the story. And what each o... Read Full Story
