More Leibovitz money woes

Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz is facing new accusations of not paying her bills less than a month after she struck a deal that was supposed to have resolved her financial problems, The Associated Press reports. Investment firm Brunswick Capital Partners LP sued the celebrity photographer Friday in a Manhattan court. The firm says Leibovitz owes more than $800,000 in fees for its help arranging her recent financing agreement with another firm, Colony Capital LLC. Leibovitz risked losing rights to her work last year as she struggled to repay a $24 million loan. Colony agreed last month to help manage her debt and market her portfolio. Leibovitz representatives had no immediate response Monday.
