Live 8 Productions LLC is suing Trimspa Inc., the diet pill maker that uses Smith as a spokesperson, alleging the company failed to deliver on its promise to pay $320,000 for four commercial spots during the broadcast.
Smith, known for her voluptuous figure, wore a shiny pink vest held together with a string at her bust, photos from the Phildadelphia concert show. She appeared on TV as part of the deal between Trimspa and Live 8.
