 Someone's not at the corner of happy and healthy. 
 
 Katherine Heigl has filed a lawsuit against drug store chain Duane Reade Inc., alleging that the Walgreen Co. subsidiary used her name and picture in promotional material without her consent. 
 
 "Love a quick #DuaneReade run? Even @KatieHeigl can't resist shopping #NYC's favorite drugstore," read a tweet posted March 18 on Duane Read's Twitter account, which at this moment is still a live tweet. 
 
 The post includes a paparazzi photograph of the Knocked Up star toting two Duane Reade shopping bags and a link to a Just Jared item that notes the actress paid a visit to the drug store in Manhattan on March 16. 
 
 The photo was also used on Duane Reade's Facebook account to "imply falsely that Plaintiff endorses Defendant," Heigl's suit charges. 
 
 "The Heigl photograph is a typical ‘paparazzi' shot, depicting plaintiff walking on the street in New York City, in a private moment looking away from the camera," the complaint continues, per court documents obtained by the New York Daily News. "Use of plaintiff's image under these circumstances improperly exploited plaintiff's name and likeness, as a celebrity, for defendant's commercial advertising and purposes of trade, without authorization."

 She also asserts in the lawsuit, per TMZ, that she is "a highly successful television and motion picture actress, producer and celebrity" who "continues to be in high demand in the entertainment industry," and therefore is due no less than $6 million for the use of her famous name. 
 
 Heigl's complaint says that she issued a "strenuous objection" to her photo being used before filing suit, but that went unheeded. 
 
 The suit, filed today in federal court in Manhattan, also reportedly states that she would donate any monetary judgment to the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, dedicated to finding loving homes for dogs in need of care. 
 
 Reps for Heigl and Duane Reade have not yet returned requests for comment.

I don’t think her latest headline-making stunt is going to win her any fans — she’s suing Duane Reade drugstores for six million dollars because they tweeted the above photo. I guess her argument is that they used her image to promote their stores without her permission and without paying her, which isn’t okay because she is “a highly successful television and motion picture actress, producer and celebrity” in “high demand.” RECORD SCRATCH. Have a stadium full of seats, Katie Heigl. Highly successful TV and movie actresses don’t need to sue drug store chains because they tweeted a photo. Also, I’m pretty sure Katherine Heigl isn’t worth six million. Ugh, this lawsuit gives me secondhand embarrassment like whoa. [TMZ] 
 
 We like in a litigious country so this is of course not the only totally stupid and ridiculous lawsuit related to a celeb’s name and image. Here are a few more… ||||| Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Large and small donations flowed in Monday evening as dozens of celebrities answered phones for Larry King's telethon to help the people of the U.S. Gulf Coast suffering from the oil disaster. 
 
 "A hundred dollars? Wow! Thanks you so much," rocker Tyson Ritter told one donor who called in. 
 
 The two-hour CNN show raised more than $1.81 million, with proceeds going to three charities deeply involved in the efforts to help humans, wildlife and the environment. 
 
 "Everyone's really pissed off," actress Jenny McCarthy, who was monitoring online messages in the telethon's "Tweet Suite," told host Ryan Seacrest. 
 
 Donors could choose to send their money to the United Way, National Wildlife Federation or The Nature Conservancy. 
 
 Celebrity journalist Giuliana Rancic said she was on the phone with "Barbara" from Kokomo, Indiana. 
 
 "She's saying it's the animals," Rancic said. 
 
 Actress Victoria Principal sat next to her on another call. 
 
 "We're just talking about the wildlife," Principal said. 
 
 Singer Aaron Neville, a New Orleans native, said most of the calls he answered in New York were from people concerned about animals impacted by the oil. 
 
 "People are crying on the phone and giving money," Neville said. 
 
 Actor Ted Danson said it was important for him to "hear people's emotions, their fear and sadness" when they called in donations, 
 
 CNN correspondents reported live from the Gulf Coast, interviewing people whose lives have been interrupted by the oil disaster. 
 
 "The toughest thing I see is losing a way of life that we've had down here for generations and generations," said shrimper Archie Dantin in Pointe a la Hache, Louisiana. 
 
 A BP spokesman issued a statement Monday saying the oil company is "proceeding with urgency to make the situation right for the environment and for those who have affected by this tragic event." 
 
 "We stated from the beginning that we accept responsibility for cleaning up the spill and for paying all legitimate claims for those directly impacted financially by this environmental disaster," BP's statement said. 
 
 The company said over 65,000 claims have been submitted and more than 32,000 payments have been made, totaling more than $107 million. 
 
 "The average time from filing a claim to checks being issued is only a few days," BP siad. "Even for more complex business claims that have provided supporting documentation." 
 
 "I don't think they're responding fast enough," shrimper Keillen Williams said. 
 
 Retired NBA star Jalen Rose, who was helping answered phones at CNN's Los Angeles bureau, said he is sure President Barack Obama will make BP pay. 
 
 "But it will take time for that to happen, so we're here today to provide immediate relief to those in need," Rose said.
– Be careful what you tweet about Katherine Heigl: The notoriously difficult actress is suing drugstore chain Duane Reade for $6 million, all because of one little tweet, TMZ reports. Duane Reade tweeted last month, "Love a quick #DuaneReade run? Even @KatieHeigl can’t resist shopping #NYC's favorite drugstore," along with a picture of Heigl carrying two Duane Reade shopping bags and a link to an article about her shopping there. But Heigl's lawsuit points out that the photo was just "a typical 'paparazzi' shot," and that the drugstore used it—without Heigl's permission—to "imply falsely that [Heigl] endorses [Duane Reade]," reports E! Online. Should she walk away with any money, she says she'll donate it to the animal welfare-focused Jason Debus Heigl Foundation.
