Dick Clark sues Grammy chief
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Reuters) - Proclaiming he was ``mad as hell,'' music industry veteran Dick Clark, whose company produces the American Music Awards, Wednesday filed suit claiming the head of the group that sponsors the Grammy Awards engaged in unfair competition against his rival show.
The suit seeks $10 million in damages from Michael Greene, president and chief executive of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which produces the Grammys (news - web sites).
In the suit filed in federal court in Los Angeles, Clark's Dick Clark Productions Inc. claimed Greene kept pop star Michael Jackson from performing on the Jan. 9 American Music Awards show, where he was to receive a special ``artist of the century'' award.
