Zooey Deschanel Sues Steve Madden

Zoe Wants $2 million from shoe brand Steve Madden

  The "500 Days of Summer" actress filed suit against the popular shoemaker in L.A. Friday, alleging that the company made a $2 million endorsement deal with her in August that never came to realization.

  Madden later told Deschanel they couldn't get retailers to support the deal, so they renegotiated for $1.5 million.

  Deschanel insists she held up her end of the bargain, including terms that forced her to turn down other deals, but Madden never paid her the $1.5 million owed. In the lawsuit, the She & Him singer claims she was also promised a percentage of Madden's profits if sales reached a certain level.

  Let's hope they work it out in peace. What do you think of Steve's choice? Will you buy shoes because of Zooey?
