Another one..

Uma Thurman sues Lancome in advertising dispute
Friday May 9 8:29 PM ET


Uma Thurman responded to French cosmetics giant Lancome's lawsuit against her with one of her own Friday, taking their contract dispute over the use of her name and face in an advertising campaign to federal court.

The "Kill Bill" star said in her lawsuit that Lancome Parfums et Beaute & Cie boosted its worldwide sales and enhanced its "prestige, stature and bargaining power" by helping retailers and others use her name and likeness in advertising and promotions after her contract expired.

The suit seeks $15 million in damages.



Lancome tried Wednesday to shield itself from legal action by the 38-year-old actress. Saying she had threatened litigation, the company asked a state judge to rule against her claim that her name and face were used on Canadian billboards and Asian Web sites later than the contract allowed.

Thurman's lawyer, Bertram Fields, has called Lancome's state lawsuit "a pre-emptive blow."

The dispute stems from a two-year contract Thurman and the company signed in April 2000, with an option to extend the agreement for another two years.

The contract said Thurman would be paid $5.8 million for the first two years and $3.1 million for each additional year, if the company exercised its option.

Lancome claimed the contract specifies that the company was not responsible if third parties used her name and face after the agreement lapsed.

Lancome's lawyer, Peter D. Raymond, said the company's lawsuit would take priority in court because it was filed first.

"They involve the same set of facts and issues, so you don't need both of them," he said.

The lawsuit capped a busy week for Thurman in Manhattan courts. On Wednesday, 37-year-old Jack Jordan was convicted in the state court's criminal branch of stalking and harassing her.

Yeah..that was surprising....ok..not everybody will consider her a great performer..my logic is..well if u don't, fair enough...justify to me logically as to why u don't consider her a great performer...and I will accept it as individual opinion...but this comment went like this..."u know Ms Thurman isn't that great an actress, but she gave the most heartfelt performance I have ever seen"....this comment is sick I think...its a personal hit....its like "oh WOW..look one of the most famous movie stars in the world has to come to us ordinary folk to get justice"....that comment was just an attempt to make everyone realize their importance..


well I am happy she got justice, but I didn't like that comment...

Ive not read any of the comments, not even seen any. But i agree, that comment is a very personal target at Ma, I couldnt agree more with your 2k, its a direct hit to get attention to the "normal folk" as you put it.

Wow!!! Only probation!!!

"The convicted stalker of actress Uma Thurman got three years' probation yesterday for harassing her and was ordered to get psychiatric treatment for a psychotic condition.

A contrite Jack Jordan, 37, apologized to Thurman and her family for his bizarre actions over a two-year period. Among them were sending the Academy Award nominee a crude drawing of a decapitated bride - an apparent reference to a scene from one of her "Kill Bill" films.

"I have tried to be law-abiding and treat people with respect," said Jordan before sentencing. "I overstepped those bounds with Ms. Thurman and I am very sorry."

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro noted that Thurman never directly told Jordan to stay away but warned him not to repeat his actions. Carro also signed a five-year order of protection against Jordan."
