Bulgarian promoters Pick and More have teamed up with their colleagues from the rest of the cities where Latin diva Jennifer Lopez cancelled her tour to sue her.

Apart from the star's fee, the organizers of her Bulgarian gig admitted that they had spent about EUR 203,000 on commercials and to satisfy Lopez' many whims. The promoters said they has spent a little over EUR 3,000 on sunflower seeds, chili, aroma candles and mineral water, and then had to double the sum to transport all the supplies from the states.

Now J Lo is facing a trial and all the angry promoters are determined to get their money back. The most disappointing fact, Pick and More admitted, was that the diva didn't give any reason for the cancellation. The short note announcing that the rest of the tour was not to be did not bear any explanation, and many find this unethical.

There are many rumors going on, Nina Girginova, Project Manager at Pick and More explained, admitting that she was most inclined to believe that Lopez might be pregnant. "Whatever the reason is, she should have explained it, and even if she had lied it would have been better than not giving the fans any reason at all."

The promoters admitted that they were very disappointed with the diva, and that they wouldn't try to work with her ever again. "There's no place for personal quarrels in show business," Girginova said, "but you simply cannot cancel a tour without explaining why."

All Bulgarian fans who purchased tickets will get their money back, the company announced, and they'd be able to do so at the places they got them from May 17 on.

Pick and More promised the Bulgarian audience many more big names throughout the year, refusing to name anyone except for the gigs they are already selling tickets for - Sting, 50 Cent, Nazareth and Billy Idol.

The Latin star was supposed to hold her concert in Sofia on May 2, as part of the tour promoting her latest album "Rebirth", but she delayed the gig for May 23. Afterwards she cancelled the tour, leaving thousands of disillusioned fans in Moscow, Dubai, Mumbai, Athens, Baku and Thessaloniki.
