Kim Kardashian should be on your shit list.

What a dumb bitch.

Kim Kardashian has filed a lawsuit against Old Navy for using a look-alike in a series of ads this past February, reports The Washington Post. Kardashian, who does not have a deal with the national brand, hopes to recover as much as $20 million from the Gap Inc. brand for using Melissa Molinaro as her stand-in, says TMZ. Kardashian issued a statement, saying, “I’ve worked hard to support the products I’m personally involved with and that I believe in.”

UPDATE: In a statement released by Kardashian’s spokesperson, her attorney Gary Hecker affirmed his clients’ right to lodge this suit, saying, “Kim Kardashian is immediately recognizable, 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.” A spokesperson for Gap Inc. offered “No comment.” Molinaro’s spokesperson has not yet responded to requests for comment.

If it's that easy, book a ticket to L.A., go to the beach, pick a girl, get her a TV show and endorsement deals.

You and she will make millions.

If Melissa has different highlights in her hair, are you OK with her starring in a commercial?

Fair enough. I guess we better start keeping a database of what every famous person looks like and decide how close to that image someone can be before we deem it against the law. I think the DirecTV girl looks like the Olson twins (if they were healthy). I guess DirecTV can expect a lawsuit any day now.

This girl would have not have been hired had she not looked like Kardashian. They further made her up as Kardashian in hair and make up.

Are we to believe that the ad agency came up with this idea, pitched it to The GAP and gained approval, given a budget and just accidentally cast a woman with the same exact build, complexion and hair, only to have the makeup and hair people accidentally make her appear even more like Kardashian?

Seriously?

GAP would have been sued, regardless.

They made the commercial with the intent.

Look, I'm not an expert at the behind-the-scenes advertising pitch like TinyEvel, but I will tell you that it takes nearly an act of God to get a commercial from storyboard to airing. Everyone wants to have a say to quantify and qualify themselves. It's (IMO) a grinding process and there's no way in the world that this was conceptualized, budgeted, cast and shot with a Kardashian look-a-like by accident.

I tend to agree with you. However, objectively speaking, who was being impersonated in other countless similar GAP or Old Navy commercials? Given the fact that those exist, it shouldn't be as obvious of a case as you make it. You could almost claim that out of 20 commercials and 200 models, one simply happened to look like Kim.

For the most part, The GAP has hired actual celebrities.

They failed to do so with KK and paid the price. That said, it most likely generated more pub for them than if they had actually hired her.

I'm not sure I heard this correctly, but did she just name her child Northwest? I really don't get the fascination with this group of people. I wish people would spend more time on..well anything else...all the attention towards these idiots just seems like a waste...

I can honestly say, and am doing this solely for posterity reasons, that I could give 2 ****s about Kim Kardasian, the Gap or some actor.


Why anybody would think that this premadonna would make my shit list is silly.

I don't normally say this, but I agree with Dane... because he's entirely right.

It's unbelievable how obtuse you guys are being over something that is really pretty simple and obvious.

"You can't intentionally use someone's likeness"

"So looking like a celebrity is now a crime?"



People are just mad because Kim is another 'famous for being famous' person. I don't hate kim. She's a nobody to me personally. I stick with hating the limp brained idiots who make her famous for nothing. The lemmings that celebrate celebrity. You guys are the problem. Kim is 'howard stern famous' in that she's just as famous because of people who hate her as she is for her bubble headed fans.

Looking like someone is not a crime. Hiring someone intentionally for the purpose of misleading an audience IS NOT OKAY!!
