Actress Salma Hayek is facing a lawsuit, due to her less than 1% ownership of a company called North Las Palmas LLC. The company was involved in an investment venture which went wrong and now Alejandro Atrigas, who was a co-manager of the company, has filed a lawsuit at the LA County Superior Court.

Also involved is Salma's brother Sami, who according to legal documents: "has been guilty of... fraud, mismanagement, and/or abuse of authority". A statement made from Sami's lawyer stated: "It was an investment deal that was no good for anyone, and we'll fight the lawsuit vigorously". Salma Hayek has voiced one of the characters in "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", which is a comedy due to be released on October 3, 2008.
