Author Jeannie Holleman has sued "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken, alleging that he has hurt sales of her Aiken biography.
Holleman's filed the suit in Wake County Superior Court, North carolina, claiming that Aiken directly lessened sales of Holleman's unauthorized biography by publicly stating he was not acquainted with her.
The book, entitled "Out of the Blue -- 'Clay' It Forward," covers an alleged period in Aiken's life when he and his mother Faye Parker lived with Holleman in her North Carolina home.
In response to the book, Aiken and his mother have openly denied knowing Holleman and have said her 564-page book is full of lies about their family.
Holleman is seeking $260,000 in damages from the "Measure of a Man" singer and wants Aiken to not only endorse her work in the book and on his own Web site, but also sell the biography at his concerts for the next five years.
