The Wayans Brothers - Shawn, Marlon, and Keenan Ivory - have also been longtime collaborators. Their latest project isn’t a movie but a book, 101 Ways You Know You’re a Golddigger. However, Jared Edwards, who worked as an assistant to the brothers for over a decade, claims that the book was originally his idea and that his famous bosses stole it. In a lawsuit, Edwards says he originally conceived the idea for a book called You Know You’re A Golddigger When… and told the Wayanses about it. He claims that the Wayanses liked the idea a lot and offered themselves up as cowriters. Edwards then quit his assistant job to work on the project full-time.

If Edwards is telling the truth, then the Wayanses did a shitty thing and should definitely face the music. However, there’s one thing that bugs me about all of this - why is a corny-sounding book full of one-liners about golddiggers considered such a brilliant, innovative idea? And furthermore, why is it an idea you’re so proud of that you’d go to court in order to stake your claim to it? Are golddiggers about to become the new vampires? Regardless, we’ll see how the lawsuit shakes out over the next few months. I’m going to bet it gets settled out of court.
