Catherine Zeta-Jones Sues Over Topless Photos
<snip>

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - 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."
