(AP)— Aretha Franklin may
reign indefinitely as the Queen

Schwarzenegger and are suing Fry’s
Electronics for allegedly using their
images in new spaper advertise­
ments without permission.
Each actor seeks $10 million in
damages. According to the lawsuit
the ads could diminish their "hard-
earned and well-deserved reputations
as major motion picture stars and
risks the potential for overexposure. ”
The lawsuit, filed last week in Los
Angeles SuperiorCourt, claims the
photos ran in the Los Angeles Times
and other major newspapers.
Similar lawsuits involving unau­
thorized uses o f celebrities in adver­
tising were filed recently against
cosmetics chain Sephora USA by
Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica
Parker, Nicole Kidman and Tom
Cruise.
