Perez Hilton Sued For Posting Topless Jennifer Aniston Photograph
The AP is reporting that Mario Lavandeira, the blogger better known as Perez Hilton (www.perezhilton.com), is being sued by a Hollywood movie studio for posting a stolen topless photograph of Jennifer Aniston on his blog. AP says the studio is alleging that the photograph was "misappropriated and illegally copied" during the production of The Break-Up.
The shot of Aniston, 38, was not included in the final version of the movie, which earned more than $118 million at the box office.
The lawsuit, claiming copyright infringement and filed in U.S. District Court, said Lavandeira "posted all or parts of the stolen footage from the motion picture on his Web site."
The suit seeks an injunction barring further distribution of the picture and requests a court order "directing the U.S. Marshal to seize" the copyrighted material from the 28-year-old blogger.
There was no response to an e-mail message to Lavandeira seeking comment on the suit.
