Right now video games appear to be the hotbed of famous people having their likenesses nabbed, because apparently after youve come up with Mario, Sonic and Bubsy designers are all out of ideas. Much easier to just go on Wikipedia and grab the first despot/hero (depending on your point of view) who looks like theyd be a good player character or villain in your hyper-violent war simulator. Then theres Lindsay Lohan, who reckons that blonde in the bikini that was emblazoned on all the marketing materials for Grand Theft Auto V was a spitting image for her. Which, yknow, she really wasnt, with many internet commenters initially thinking it was actually model-turned-actress Kate Upton whod been digitally painted over for the illustration. That didnt stop Lohan from filing a lawsuit against Rockstar and Take Two Interactive claiming the characters an "unequivocal" reference to her. Thats despite Rockstar coming out and disclosing the fact that they hired another model to essentially trace for the Lacey Jones character, and why would Lohan want to be associated with a character whos meant to be a narcissistic, anorexic and idiotic struggling actress?
