You can sue someone for looking like you?



Melissa Molinaro, the woman who stars in the Old Navy ad campaign that sparked a lawsuit this week from Kim Kardashian, is having a bad week.

Kardashian filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Old Navy and its parent company, Gap, alleging illegal use of her public image in the campaign starring Molinaro. She was not named as a defendant, incidentally.

Kardashian, meanwhile, is "a businesswoman who has to protect her brand" rather than allowing another company to use it to sell clothes, an insider told Us Magazine. "Bottom line."

The silver lining for Molinaro? Her "Dance Floor" music video on YouTube had more than 400,000 views by Friday (above).

If you can get sued for looking like someone then I can see another big lawsuit coming down. Look at all the money made by Jesse Eisenberg for looking like Mark Zuckerberg in the movie Social Network. Bob Dylan may be suing Cate Blanchett. Micky Ward maybe suing Mark Wahlberg. This is big folks!
