'Bachelor' producers sue Guiney
LOS ANGELES - Bob Guiney, one of the stars of the popular ABC-TV reality series “The Bachelor,” has been sued for breach of contract by the show’s producers. In a lawsuit filed Friday, Guiney and his record company, Wind-up Records, were sued for promoting his new CD, “3 Sides,” and music video.
Stars of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” series sign contracts with exclusivity clauses prohibiting them from promoting any other products without permission, according to the lawsuit.

OK, so here's the question...why wouldn't ABC want as much publicity as they can get? Isn't getting the name "Bachelor" out there early and often good for them? I understand, if you were out there promoting kiddie porn or viagra or something, but is this really necessary?
