SURVIVOR PARTNER/PRODUCER SUES BURNETT

Conrad Riggs has filed a $70-million lawsuit against his former partner and best friend Mark Burnett alleging that Burnett cheated him out of revenues from projects that the two jointly developed, including Survivor and The Apprentice . The suit contends that Riggs has received no payments since February 2007. Riggs' attorney, Bart Williams told today's (Tuesday) Los Angeles Times , ""We think that cutting Conrad out of the day-to-day operations and not paying him were both designed to put maximum pressure on him to give up his rights in the enterprise, and that's something that Conrad simply won't do."
