AUSTRALIA'S favourite pop superstar Pink has become embroiled in a lawsuit over unpaid royalties.
An American production company is suing the US singer, claiming they were owed $37,000 after failing to receive royalties from the tracks Can't Take Me Home and Hiccup on her album, also titled Can't Take Me Home, released in 2000.
Specialists Entertainment claims the star and another company, Thunderstone Productions, signed a deal agreeing to split royalties from the tracks. The album sold more than five million copies.
While the sum is modest considering Pink's estimated worth of about $40 million, the issue is not her problem, according to her representative, who told UK paper The Sun her record label Sony dealt with that element of the business.

Pink's Australian tour starts in Perth on June 25.
