PHOENIX - Jenna Jameson is suing in federal court to bar her publisher from getting a cut of a proposed reality show featuring the adult film star.

Jameson's suit in Phoenix federal court asks a judge to rule that an April 2004 development agreement signed with Regan Media doesn't apply to a deal that Jameson negotiated herself with A&E for a show based on her daily life.
Jameson says in the suit that the A&E deal was negotiated before the Regan Media agreement.
Regan Media owner Judith Regan countersued, saying the 2004 agreement with Jameson gives Regan Media the exclusive rights to negotiate with television networks for a reality show.
The countersuit says Jameson, whose real name is Jenna Massoli, violated the agreement by negotiating a contract with A&E without Regan Media.
David Bodney, an attorney representing Regan Media, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
He referred calls to Harper Collins, whose Regan Books division published Jameson's biography, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star." A spokesman for Regan Books didn't return a phone message left late Thursday.
A Phoenix-based attorney for Jameson didn't immediately return a phone call Thursday.
