There are some limitations on your ability to make this type of claim. If you are seen as too big a celebrity, then it is sometimes argued that you have no privacy interest in your image (this is the minority of states' view and with the money at atake will probably soon disappear completely). If you are not a celebrity then it is sometimes argued that you have no rights of publicity because your likeness has no value (this is also a minority of state's views and seems to be shrinking). It appears Missouri does recognize this right (in the common law tradition of the courts, but not explicitly by statute) and the fact that the use in this case (to help sell diamonds) is so obviously and completely profit oriented, if I were a MO civil atty, my ears would perk up and I'd want to hear the details. I'm not going to say that you have a viable case, that, as others have suggested here is something that you should talk to a local attorney of your choice about. But you SHOULD take the time (and if necessary an hour or two's worth of a consulting fee from @ $120-$300) to have the case properly evaluated. There are many more questions I would have (calculating potential damages and costs of litigation would be tricky I would think), but it seems to me like a case where you might net some decent settlement that might help you out with some bills for a while. In any event, if you had to take it to trial, I would love empanelling that jury. Chiefs fan v. Diamond Merchant. It's almost as good as the one case i had one time with "little old lady with dog with amputated leg v. Fed Ex". This is a pretty good link I found with some more general info: http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-gui...keness-another

Many celebrities have won these type of claims in the past. If you couldn't, I mean why pay Michael Jordan to endorse Rayovac when you can just photoshop him into your ads?
