Suing Kim
</hdr><body>
<p>By Alexander Tresniowski/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> More trouble for talented but temperamental Kim Basinger.
After playing prima donna on the set of her last film, she's now
backed out of the title role in Boxing Helena, the would-be
directorial debut of Jennifer Lynch (daughter of shockmaster
David), prompting the film's producers to file a $5 million
lawsuit. "I can't simply shove anybody into the role," says
Lynch. "It's a very intense, demanding part." Indeed: the
character loses her limbs and is kept in a box by an obsessive
lover. Lynch believes Basinger's bailout "stems from fear," but
Kim's lawyer cited "classic creative differences" and insisted,
"She never signed anything." Does that mean Lynch hasn't got a
leg to stand on?
