 Carnie Wilson Heavyweight singer her new US reality show UNSTAPLED to court to fight for an extra $ 277,500 in pay.

According to the Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, 29 July, 2010 the Wilson Phillips singer filed suit against the executives of the Game Show Network (GSN) ,

But the show actually required 53 days of shooting and Wilson was forced to work much longer hours prior to its premiere on 14 January (10), according to the court documents.

The complaint reads: "Accordingly, at the rate of $5,000 (£3,330) per day, which is the daily rate of said contract, Defendant GSN owes to (Wilson) the additional amount of $277,500 with legal interest thereon from the final day of shooting."

However, network bosses at GSN claim they have yet to be notified of any litigation.
