ZETA-JONES SUES STRIP CLUB

Catherine Zeta-Jones is suing an American strip club for using her picture on its Web site, making it look like she had endorsed the venue.

The Oscar-winning beauty, 35, has filed a lawsuit against the Spice House in Reno, Nev., for placing a photo of her next to pictures of naked strippers.

Zeta-Jones says she's never been to "Reno's Friendliest Topless Cabaret" and is demanding damages and an order banning the owners from using her image again.

The club has hit back at Zeta-Jones by declaring she should be flattered her image was used for advertising promotion.

A designer for the club's Web site downloaded pictures of Zeta-Jones from a German Web site, which offered "royalty-free" graphics, says Kent Wallace, the club's marketing director.

He explains, "It was an image of a beautiful woman. We had no idea it was Catherine Zeta-Jones; one wouldn't think [her image] would appear in a free graphics Web site.

"She should have been flattered, as far as I'm concerned."

Hrmm i dont think the strip club is going to win this law suit.

Hmmm....

Yep. The club is going to lose.

I'm sure there are ways to flatter Catherine Zeta Jones. Putting her image up at a strip club, wouldnt be one of them.

She'll win easily. Her face and her endorsement are still hers to sell.

[Haddonfield]

mmmmmm, Zeta-Jones. :)

What we really need is Catherine to appear on stage at a strip club.

:rolleyes:

I think she gets a raw deal sometimes for being a diva but she is right in this case.
