MC HAMMER SUED OVER UNFINISHED BOOK: Publisher says rapper needs to return advance money.

      *MC Hammer was sued by publishing house Simon & Schuster earlier this month over claims that he never finished an inspirational book for which he received advance money to write.      

       The company's March 5 lawsuit seeks return of the $61,000 advance given to Hammer for the book "Enemies of the Father: Messages from the Heart on Being a Family Man."       

       Hammer's 2002 contract with Simon & Schuster called for the book to be released the following year, but according to the one-page lawsuit, Hammer – born Stanley Kirk Burrell – never turned in the manuscript.      

       Meanwhile, the 46-year-old rapper will star in a new A&E reality series titled "Hammertime," which will focus on his career and family life.
