Apparently there's a ruckus going on over at Disney about the parentage of Hannah Montana. Now the courts are involved and everyone's trying to prove who fathered the brainchild that grew up to be Disney's most famous rockstar. It's kind of like that episode of My Two Dads where Paul Riser got in a fight with Greg Evigan and tried to force Stacey Keanan to take a paternity test...
Richard Fronduto maintains he penned a script in 1990 titled The Secret Life of Sindi...His agent pitched the idea—which also featured a single dad who acts as his kid's manager—to Disney, Fronduto says, which in turn liked it so much that the network requested a draft for a two-hour pilot.

This claim comes on the heels of another suit filed last year in which comedy writer Buddy Sheffield claimed Hannah Montana was his baby.
