Zeta - Jones Not

Actress Catherine
Zeta-Jones has sued a Nevada strip club for using a picture of
her face to promote itself on the Web as "The Friendliest Topless
Cabaret in Reno." Zeta-Jones, who won an Oscar for her role as
the murderous cabaret singer Velma Kelly in "Chicago," sued The
Spice House after learning that she was featured with "partially
nude women engaged in various sexually explicit poses," according
to the federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles.
The suit
said Zeta-Jones had never been to The Spice House and did not
want her "highly valuable image and persona" to be used as an
endorsement. Kent Wallace, owner of The Spice House, said his
Web designer got the photo from a "royalty free" Web site without
recognizing the face, and claimed he took it down as soon as Zeta-Jones'
lawyers contacted him last October. "We are just shocked and bemused
by this," Wallace told Reuters on Monday. "She is a big double-D
and we are just B cups. She ought to pick on someone her own size."
Despite the lawsuit's demand for damages of at least $75,000,
Wallace said he and his dancers welcomed the attention and were
"having fun with it." One of the club's dancers has renamed herself
Catherine "Ta TA" Jones, and Wallace plans to hold a Halloween
contest asking patrons to "come dressed as your favorite brunette
star."
