Publisher sued by father of "Idol" winner

The father of "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino has filed a $10 million libel suit against the publisher of a book about his daughter.He alleged that it contains "false, exaggerated, sensational, intentional and malicious untruths."

Joseph Barrino is seeking damages from Simon & Schuster, which released "Fantasia: Life Is Not a Fairy Tale" in 2005. Barrino reveals in her book that she was functionally illiterate and had to fake her way through some scripted protions of the television show.

The 22-year-old Barrino, a high school dropout and unwed mother at age 17, was the "American Idol" winner in 2004. Her debut album, "Free Yourself," came out the same year and received four Grammy nominations.
