Furious Kim Kardashian sues Old Navy for using lookalike model (who just happens to be Reggie Bush's new girlfriend)

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Spot the difference: Kim Kardashian, left, is taking legal action over an Old Navy ad starring model Melissa Molinaro, right, who is rumoured to be dating Reggie Bush

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

But Kim Kardashian has been left furious after clothing brand Old Navy used a lookalike in their new ad campaign.

The 30-year-old reality star is now suing the clothing giant for somewhere in the region of $15 - $20 million.

Perhaps adding to Kardashian's fury is the fact that the model and actress in the ad, Melissa Molinaro, is said to be currently dating 26-year-old NFL player Bush.


Doppelgänger: In the advertisement, Molinaro hair and make-up is styled almost identically to Kim's


Molinaro's music video-inspired campaign for the company has become a web video viral hit.

The 'Super C-U-T-E' clip, promoting the brand's jeans, has so far had 1.7 million hits.

In the video, Molinaro is the mirror image of Kim, with her hair and make-up styled to look just like the socialite.

Kim filed her federal lawsuit against Old Navy in Los Angeles today, asserting that the company are using the double in order to make people believe she is associated with the label.

She is suing the company for 'the unauthorised use of Kardashian's name, likeness, identity, and persona.'


Seem familiar? Molinaro even tries her hand at a signature Kim 'look over the shoulder' pose


Represented by intellectual property attorney Gary Heckler, Kim's representation told the MailOnline she is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

The reality star claims in the lawsuit, which was first reported by TMZ, that Old Navy is using Molinaro to 'evoke her identity and persona.'

A statement from Kim's representation reads: 'Old Navy launched a multimedia advertising campaign featuring television and online ads that misappropriate Kardashian's likeness in the form of a celebrity look-alike, and styled the infringing ads to evoke Kardashian's identity and persona.'


New squeeze: Model and actress Molinaro is said to be currently dating 26-year-old Bush, and her music video-inspired campaign for the company has become a web video viral hit


'Kim Kardashian is immediately recognisable, and is known for her look and style. Her identity and persona are valuable. When her intellectual property rights are violated, she intends to enforce them,' her lawyer added.

Kim is said to be especially angry that along with the advertisement, Old Navy are consistently tweeting promotional titbits about the campaign, linking them to her own Twitter account.

'@CBSNEWS reports that Old Navy's Super CUTE star looks like @kimkardashian. #LOL. What do you think?' reads one the tweets.


In happier times: Kim famously dated NFL star Reggie Bush for just under three years, after the pair met at the ESPY Awards

Jennifer Aniston goes for pebble grey dress to match rainy British skies at Horrible Bosses London premiere

By SARAH FITZMAURICE and JODY THOMPSON

Shining in the rain: Jennifer Aniston was wearing a shimmering stone-grey Valentino dress at the somewhat soggy London premiere of her new move Horrible Bosses tonight


Jennifer Aniston managed to brighten up a dull, grey evening on London's South Bank at the UK premiere of her new movie Horrible Bosses - despite wearing a stone coloured dress to match the leaden, rain-sodden skies.

Though muted in colour, the star still dazzled in her shimmering Valentino, accompanied with her sparkling smile and shiny white satin Tom Ford shoes.

The subtle but still glamorous frock was a sleeveless shift style embellished with sequins.


Hollywood glamour: The star looked stunning in a beautifully subtle dress with some gorgeous detailing



Smiling through: Jennifer lit up the grey evening with her high-beam smile


The star soon got out of the chilly-for-July weather however to pose for more photos in the reception of the BFI.

Joining her were her co-star Jason Sudeikis, co-stars Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka, co-star Charlie Day and wife Mary Elizabeth Ellis, as well Radio 1 presenter Edith Bowman and T4 presenter Jameela Jamil.


Hand in hand: Later on Jennifer changed into an LBD for the after party at Shoreditch House in London and left with boyfriend Justin Theroux


Also grabbing the chance to rub shoulders with Jen on the blue carpet were actress Amanda Peet, TV presenter Zara Martin, as well as Made In Chelsea stars Millie Mackintosh, Francis Boulle, Gabriella Ellis, Hugo Taylor and Frederik Ferrier.

In the movie, Jennifer takes on the role of a sex-starved dentist and earlier in the day at a photocall ahead of the premiere, opted for something a little racy in keeping with her character.

The 42-year-old actress wore a simple yet seductive black leather dress.


Top billing: Jennifer back in the warm of the BFI with her co-star Jason Sudeikis


All friends together: Jennifer's co-stars Jason Bateman (L) with his wife Amanda Anka, and Charlie Day with his wife Mary Elizabeth Ellis


Ready for her close up: The star adjusted her famous hair after getting out of the rainy blustery British weather


The star, who is best known for playing Rachel Green in Friends, accessorised with a pair of strappy sandals and two bracelets on her left wrist.

Jennifer showed off an inking, seen on the inside of her right foot, which is a tribute to her dog Norman, who passed away in May.

Jennifer joined co-stars Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jason Bateman and Kevin Spacey who star in the comedy.

Then again, as she posed for photographers in London yesterday, it seemed that Miss Aniston is simply enjoying a little fortysomething confidence.

‘I absolutely get more comfortable in my body and in who I am as I get older,’ she has said.


Broadcast beauties: Jameela Jamil (L) and Edith Bowman (R) had both donned their glad rags to rub shoulders with Jennifer Aniston on the blue carpet


Ways and means: Made In Chelsea stars Milli Mackintosh, Hugo Taylor and Frederik Ferrier and friend all managed to get on the guest list for the Horrible Bosses London premiere


No more girl next door: Jennifer Aniston attended a photocall for the London film premiere of Horrible Bosses earlier in the day dressed in a racy black leather mini- dress


Making a statement: The simple but seductive dress showed off the actress's amazing figure and her deep tan

Furious Kim Kardashian sues Old Navy for using lookalike model (who just happens to be Reggie Bush's new girlfriend)

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

Spot the difference: Kim Kardashian, left, is taking legal action over an Old Navy ad starring model Melissa Molinaro, right, who is rumoured to be dating Reggie Bush


They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

But Kim Kardashian has been left furious after clothing brand Old Navy used a lookalike in their new ad campaign.

The 30-year-old reality star is now suing the clothing giant for somewhere in the region of $15 - $20 million.

Perhaps adding to Kardashian's fury is the fact that the model and actress in the ad, Melissa Molinaro, is said to be currently dating 26-year-old NFL player Bush.

Bush's rumoured new parter, however, thrilled about being compared to Kim.

'To me it's extremely flattering. She is a beautiful woman...That's an amazing compliment,' Molinaro recently told E! News.

The attention surrounding the 29-year-old brunette is no doubt perfect PR for the aspiring pop star and actress.

Bootylicious: Molinaro recently released her debut single 'Dance Floor', where she is seen prancing around and posing in an array of leotards and skimpy bathing suits that show off a rounded derrière, similar to Kim's


The exotic beauty is best known for being a competitor on the 'Pussycat Dolls Presents: The Search For The Next Doll' and also P. Diddy's hit show 'Making The Band,' where she just missed out on becoming part of now defunct female group, Danity Kane.

Melissa also scored a major role in the dance/romance film 'Honey 2', the follow up to Jessica Alba's original flick, Honey, but it went straight to DVD in the U.S.

She also recently released her debut single and video 'Dance Floor', where she is seen prancing around and posing in an array of leotards and skimpy bathing suits that show off a rounded derrière, similar to Kim's.

Kim famously dated NFL star Reggie Bush on and off for just under three years, after the pair met at the ESPY Awards.

The couple split at the end of 2009, but reunited a few months later.

They dated again up until March 2010, before finally calling it quits.

Kim has since moved on, and is set to marry NBA player Kris Humphries next month, in what will no doubt be a lavish ceremony.

Preparations have extended well beyond purchasing a dress and a cake, with Kim hiring Dancing with the Stars professional Mark Ballas to tutor the couple personally for their first dance.

The pair got engaged in May after Kris proposed with a 20.5-carat Lorrain Schwartz diamond engagement ring.

Old Navy declined to comment when contacted by the MailOnline.

After feeling her legs the presenter said: 'What exactly am I looking for? Oh that's good definition, that's muscle... there are certainly not all wrinkly, I'm telling you.'

By her side: Leandro accompanied the model earlier today and they made their way to the ITV studios

Earlier this month Jennifer was inducted into the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and her new boyfriend Justin Theroux was front row to support his leading lady.

Although she kept him hidden while she walked the red carpet at last Thursday's Horrible Bosses premiere in Los Angeles, Justin was pride of place at the drinks later that night.

After meeting up inside the premiere, the couple spent an hour and a half at the after-party before heading to the Chateau Marmont to meet friends, including Friends co-star Courteney Cox.

An onlooker told People magazine: 'They were super cute. He had his arm around her and kissed her on her cheek. They were whispering in each other's ears.'

It's also just been revealed that the pair are so serious that Justin has met Jennifer's father.

U.S. magazine Life & Style says Jennifer introduced her father, John Aniston, to her new beau at Delmonico’s Steak and Lobster House in Los Angeles earlier this month.

An onlooker told them: 'She was smiling a lot, but you could tell this was a special event for her.'

The magazine said the party enjoyed a long lunch, sharing lobster bisque, Manhattan clam chowder, a crab dish and a four pound lobster washed down with a bottle of red wine.
