ya but it would take someone with a huge stick up their backside to sue over something that trivial. i personally don't know/haven't heard of anyone who is that catty.biohaznerd
It's not really THAT trivial when your entire job, career and life revolve around your image. People sue over false stories being printed about them, rumors being printed in magazines, illegally taken photographs.... When your image and your name are your life, especially for people like the Kardashians, Hiltons and even people like David Suzuki, their name and face are what their job is based on.
Defamation, slander or anything deemed harmful to that image can be sued for, it's the same thing as trashing a store or vandalizing product. You are hurting somebody's business when you hurt their image like that. Positive image is critical in many situations and slander is not appreciated by any celebrity. Thousands of cases involving celebrities or people in the public eye have happened where the person in question has sued for defamation of image. Maybe not all over use of their name, but things like alleging they had surgery, cheated on their spouse, etc. are all common reasons to sue media outlets and even individuals.
