Queen Latifah has sued a small film production company that co-financed the movie ‘The Perfect Holiday’, with the actress claiming that she has yet to be paid a cent for her work on the film.

Lawyers for Queen Latifah, 38, said in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday (June 18) that California-based Perfect Christmas Productions had breached her contract.
The actress - real name Dana Owens - claims she is owed US$275,000 for her cameo appearance in the film.
‘The Perfect Holiday’, which Owens also produced, was released in December 2007. It starred Terrence Howard and Gabrielle Union.
The lawsuit said Perfect Christmas Productions was believed to have been paid several million dollars by third parties for ‘The Perfect Holiday’, which was originally known as Perfect Christmas’.
