Latino blogger sued

11:40 H | Topics: Blogs - Celebrities

Latino superblogger Perez Hilton no tiene pelos en la lengua. He pretty much says whatever is on his mind -- much to the dismay of many a Hollywood celeb -- and indeed that has been the main draw to his blog, PerezHilton.com. Yahoo! News reports that a recent post which included a topless photo of Jennifer Aniston is now at the center of a lawsuit filed by Aniston's studio against Perez:

Universal City Studios Productions LLLP filed the U.S. District Court copyright infringement suit Tuesday claiming Mario Lavandeira, who operates the www.perezhilton.com Internet site posted the stolen image.

The Aniston image was allegedly "misappropriated and illegally copied" during production or post-production of the 2006 romantic comedy hit The Break-Up, starring the actress and Vince Vaughn, the suit said.

The shot of Aniston, 38, was not included in the final version of the movie, which earned more than $118 million at the box office.

The lawsuit, claiming copyright infringement, said Lavandeira "posted all or or parts of the stolen footage from the motion picture on his website."

Do you think Perez goes too far? Or is this the case of independent media getting beat up by Hollywood?
