Kim Kardashian Sues Old Navy for Using Lookalike Model in Their Campaign

Kim Kardashian Sues Old Navy for Using Lookalike Model in Their Campaign | kim kardashian

Here’s a little story that might interest you: all-about-her-looks Kim Kardashian’s latest project is suing Old Navy for using a model who looks too much like herself (!!). It also happens that the model / singer is the current girlfriend of her ex, Reggie Bush. Here’s the full story from Daily Mail:

Kim Kardashian has been left furious after clothing brand Old Navy used a lookalike in their new ad campaign. The 30-year-old reality star is now suing the clothing giant for somewhere in the region of $15 – $20 million. Perhaps adding to Kardashian’s fury is the fact that the model and actress in the ad, Melissa Molinaro, is said to be currently dating 26-year-old NFL player Bush.

The reality star claims in the lawsuit, which was first reported by TMZ, that Old Navy is using Molinaro to ‘evoke her identity and persona.’ A statement from Kim’s representation reads: ‘Old Navy launched a multimedia advertising campaign featuring television and online ads that misappropriate Kardashian’s likeness in the form of a celebrity look-alike, and styled the infringing ads to evoke Kardashian’s identity and persona.’
‘Kim Kardashian is immediately recognisable, and is known for her look and style. Her identity and persona are valuable. When her intellectual property rights are violated, she intends to enforce them,’ her lawyer added.

Do you think that having the same hairstyle / slightly similar features is a valid reason for suing someone? It seems that Kim is trying to copyright her looks!

Umm, what? Let’s see this story from US Weekly:

I’ve been working out from, like, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. for two months now. I’ve been working out really hard because I had this pool party and I was like, I have to be in shape,” she told Us Weekly. “And I was actually a lot overweight (???). It was the most I’ve ever been because I’ve kind of been in hiding eating pie with my husband and puppies, so I needed to get back in shape.”

At her heaviest, the 5′2″ reality star claimed she weighed 130 pounds; she’s currently back down to 103. How did the Hills alum lose 27 pounds so quickly?

“I’ve been running a lot, and I’ve been doing weights,” she said. “When you work out, you boost your metabolism, so you have to [make sure you eat enough].”

Montag — who listed pie and fried chicken as her weaknesses — said she’s been noshing on apples, cherries and salads to slim down. After famously undergoing 10 cosmetic surgeries in late 2009, Montag added that decided to take a year off from the gym.

“My breasts, because they’re so big, really needed some time,” she explained. “So I’m just starting to work out again after my surgery. Sometimes I get shooting pains, but I hear that’s normal.”

Lady Gaga Brings the Quote of the Day | lady gaga celebrity quotes

“I am on the drunk diet. I live my life as I want to, and creatively. I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I am working.

“The deal is, I’ve got to work out every day, and I work out hungover if I am hungover. And it’s about the cross-training and keeping yourself inspired. I have to say, I do a ton of yoga.”

… says Gaga.

Apparently, having a round face is just not acceptable anymore, even if you are considered one of the most beautiful women in the world and you once took home the Miss World crown.

See how stunning Aishwarya’s face was chopped, deformed and liquified only to appear skinnier and more angular (and her figure as well, but we’re not even counting that anymore).
