Musicians sue Roberts over unequal movie pay

FOUR female jazz musicians are suing Hollywood star Julia Roberts, claiming they were paid less for appearing in her movie Mona Lisa Smile than their male counterparts.

The quartet have filed a lawsuit claiming they were paid half of what they were promised.

Roberts and her production company, meanwhile, have counter-sued. They accused the four New Yorkers Jeanne Daly, Jill McCarron, Ada Rovatti and Lauren Sevian of trying to embarrass them into a big settlement.
