VON TEESE SUES PUBLISHER FOR IMAGE USE

Burlesque star DITA VON TEESE is suing a company for using her picture on the cover of a book without permission.

DITA VON TEESE

The 36-year-old model and actress filed a federal lawsuit on Friday (21Nov08) against Macmillan Publishers for using her image on Patti O'Shea's In Twilight's Shadow, a paranormal romance novel about demon hunting, according to E! Online.

The papers claim that the dancer's face is "a valuable and integral portion of her celebrity persona" and that the company "commercially exploited her image and likeness to their own gain".

Von Teese is also suing the photo agency that provided the image and seeking unspecified damages against the publishers.
