The Plaintiff: Katherine Heigl
The Defendant: Duane Reade Inc.
The Complaint: After picking up a few items from Duane Reade (some drugstore picks, perhaps?), the former "Grey's Anatomy" star was snapped by a paparazzo. The drugstore jumped on the opportunity by tweeting the pic of the actress with the following caption: "Love a quick #DuaneReade run? Even @KatieHeigl can't resist shopping #NYC's favorite drugstore."
In response, Heigl proceeded to sue the drugstore for $6 million for misappropriation of her celebrity and false advertising. Duane Reade is too busy scrolling through their Twitter feed to release an official statement. The retailer proceeded to retweet (and later delete) a tweet from Piers Morgan that read: "Hi @DuaneReade - unlike @KatieHeigl, I am very happy to be photographed coming out of your excellent stores. And feel free to tweet it." We'll add, "#sorrynotsorry."
