TMZ is privy to the "exclusivity" clause that season five contestants have signed. It basically paralyzes contestants from doing anything showbiz related until three months after the grand finale. The contract prohibits contestants from entering into "...any talent management agreement, talent agency agreement, recording contract, songwriting contract, acting contract, modeling contract, sponsorship contract, or any merchandising contract ....until three months following the date of the first broadcast of the final episode announcing the winner of the competition."
The exclusivity clause goes on to say that if a contestant signs a deal in violation of the contract, �A.I.' producers "shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief." Translation - a judge could quash the deal.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
