R&B singer Ne-Yo and his booking agency are being sued by a Maryland concert promoter over the singer's failure to appear at a 2008 New Years Eve concert in Washington state. The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial later this month in Anne Arundel County, where his booking agent, Mike Esterman is based. Kenyohn Clark's suit seeks 1 million dollars in damages from the singer and Esterman. Clark claims the botched concert damaged his reputation and that Esterman refused to return a $95,000 deposit. The lawsuit also claims there is no excuse for Ne-Yo not appearing at the Bellevue WA show. Ne-Yo's attorney, John Scaldara says he believes the singer will win the lawsuit. It was announced that actor Ed Norton won't reprise his role as The Hulk in the upcoming "Avengers" film.
