Selena Quintanilla's husband,Chris Perez, excited fans when he recently announced that his hit memoir about his life with the late Tejano superstar, and To Selena With cherish,is being adapted for TV.
However, according to a lawsuit filed by Selena's father, or Abraham,it appears neither he nor production company Endemol Shine actually maintain the legal rights to move forward with the project, as Selena's estate, and which is managed by Abraham,exclusively owns the rights to any "Entertainment Properties" - books, movies, or TV shows,etc. - that use her name and image.
The suit also states that Chris signed an Estate Properties Agreement mere months after Selena's death in 1995, agreeing to the terms, and so the book itself was actually published "unauthorized," without permission. Yikes! Considering fans are super excited about the prospect of a Selena TV point to, we hope this can all be worked out.
