Lindsay Lohan Goes After 'Grand Theft Auto V'

So now video game people can't look like other people in the world? The game is a fictional piece!

Desperate cash grab.
 
The part about being at a hotel modeled after one of her frequent hangouts actually sounds pretty legit.

I imagine some of you would be less snarky if you saw a character that looked like you that was hanging out in a place that just happened to resemble your parents' house or your work. Oh yeah, and your character was offering free blowjobs to everyone who walked by.

Oh wait, but then you would be flattered to have your likeness used without your permission.

But they absolutely didin't use her. They can do whatever they want wuth m parents home if the person giving blowjobs is a complete stranger.

Yeah, they paid Shelby Welinder, but used Kate Upton's likeliness. Look at the pose, hair, eyes, eyebrows, lips, nose, necklace etc.

I guess it could be a mix of both ( we also don't know which pic of Welinder the artist used) but I admit, there's a whole lot of Upton in that face
 
Prescription meds don't grow off trees I guess. However I'm not seeing a resemblance between a recently exhumed female corpse and the depiction of an attractive blond woman.

Wasn't there a model that showed her cashed check from Rockstar that they used? Some model we've never heard of. I thought it was Kate Upton but when they showed the woman they used for the likeness, it's pretty obvious it's her.

I can see it being based on Kate or Yvonne, I personally saw it as iJustine. But Lindsay? Hahahaha! I look more like her.

Isn't she supposed to be visiting a psychologist because of some mental sickness? It would help explain how she came to this conclusion.
 
Oh Lindsey... Good luck with that if this is true, any lawyer who isn't just a scumbag looking for a payday would say you haven't a prayer and are just wasting money you don't have.

How did it end?

Did they use her likeness?

ND did so unintentionally supposedly they didn't realize it until after a good amount of rendering or something, been awhile since I read about it.

If anyone was going to be pissed off by the likeness of the blonde chick it'd be Yvonne Strahovski.
Am I the only one that feels that the GTA V cover bikiny lady is looks like Yvonne Strahovski?

I think a lot of us Chuck nerds first associated it to her. At least with the face but yeah, more Upton and based on the model they used for it.
 
-- Part of the game features a mission where a Lindsay Lohan look-alike asks the player to take her home and escape the paparazzi.

-- Another part of the game shows another Lindsay-like character at a hotel resembling the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood -- a place Lindsay not only frequents but once lived at -- and the mission is to photograph her having sex on camera.

It's the only part of the game I really remember.

Never played the game so anyone have a screenshot of this part:

When I saw the thread title I assumed she was sueing because of her close resemblance to the crack head with the tow truck. I could have understood that.

publicity stunt

All parties involved know they have no chance in winning anything.

You cant have copyright on a generic cartoon blond girl.

This is pathetic.
I hope Rockstar actually paid or got permission from the sport illustrated girl though. lol

Uh, but it's not Kate Upton. Her photo and the game image look quite different. It's the fact that someone made a mix of the two before that makes people think it's eerily identical on the last page. Sure they could have used that photo for inspiration, but it's not identical, nor is it a knockoff.
