Lohan Fails to Convince Court Her Image Is in Video Game

by Associated Press

   ALBANY, NEW YORK --

   It looks like "Game Over" for actress Lindsay Lohan in her state court
   fight against a software company for using what she claims is a
   likeness of her in a video game.

   Lohan's lawyer argued before New York's top court that Take-Two
   Interactive Software Inc. violated her right to privacy by
   incorporating "look-a-like" images of her in the game "Grand Theft Auto
   V."

   But the state Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the satirical
   representations of "a modern, beach-going" young woman are not
   identifiable as Lohan. The court affirmed a ruling from a lower state
   appeals court dismissing her lawsuit.

   Similar claims against Take-Two by "Mob Wives" television star Karen
   Gravano also were dismissed in a separate ruling.

   A message left with Lohan's lawyer wasn't immediately returned.
