| JESSICA SUES JEWELERS
Pop star Jessica Simpson is suing a California jeweler for illegally using her image in advertisements. The singer-turned-reality TV star insists she never gave bosses of Inspired Silver permission to use her image in Internet commercials -- and was upset when she saw the ads.
A spokeswoman for Simpson says, "Ms. Simpson is concerned about the widespread misappropriation of her name and likeness for use in connection with the unauthorized sale of costume jewelry and other merchandise. Through her attorneys, she is taking steps to remove this unauthorized merchandise from the marketplace. The lawsuit against Inspired Silver is part of an ongoing process in this regard."
