The Hangover sequel producers being sued by Tyson's tattoo artist

The Hangover: Part II producers are being sued by Mike Tyson's tattoo artist.

S. Victor Whitmill, the artist who created Tyson's iconic tattoo linked and copyrighted the inked art work. He is suing Warner Brothers' firm for allegedly using Tyson's tattoo in the upcoming The Hangover sequel without permission. Whitmill is also seeking the halt of the film's release and also banning the use of Helms' image (who the 'tattoo' was used on) from being used for the film's promotion and advertisement.

"When Mr. Whitmill created the original tattoo, Mr Tyson agreed that Mr. Whitmill would own the artwork and thus, the copyright in the original tattoo. Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. - without attempting to contact Mr. Whitmill, obtain his permission, or credit his creation - has copied Mr. Whitmill's original tattoo and placed it on the face of another actor... This unauthorized exploitation of the original tattoo constitutes copyright infringement," the legal papers filed on Thursdy in federal court in Missouri stated.

The Hangover: Part II is scheduled to be released in late May.

It appears that the fans hit a spot, because A.J. Cook, who plays Jennifer Jureau, just signed a brand new two year contract with CBS to bring her character back, who has made a few appearances on the show this season.

It is also in the talks that Paget Brewster, who plays Emily Prentiss, may be making a comeback as well. The last time we saw Emily on the show, she had a life or death moment and fans were left wondering if she had died.

AJ Cook and Paget Brewster Returning to Criminal Minds?


News is sweeping the internet that female agents, Emily Prentiss, played by Paget Brewster, and J.J. Jareau, played by A.J. Cook might be returning to the BAU next season. The two were cut at the beginning of the current season for "creative and financial reasons". Prenitiss was written out as a past enemy came back trying to kill her and in the end succeeded.... maybe... while J.J. was transferred to the Pentagon unwillingly.

According to the studio, Cook was sent over an offer last week to return in the new season, while Brewster is also in talks to return if her new show on NBC doesn't get picked up by the network. Up in the air is the new girl on set, Rachel Nichols, who is playing the new agent filling Cook and Prentiss' role. Will she also be returning or will she lose her spot if the two return?

All these changes are coming as the old producer, Ed Bernero, is being replaced by new producer Erica Messer. If everything goes according to planned, the old team will be back together before we know it.

Stolen Rare Superman Comic Book Recovered After a Decade

About a decade ago, a rare Superman comic book was taken from American actor Nicolas Cage. The said comic book was the mint copy of Action Comics No. 1, which introduced Superman in 1938 and appeared to have been discovered in a storage locker in the San Fernand Valley last week.

Los Angeles Police Department's Art Theft Detail's Detective Don Hrycyk said Monday that the comic has been authenticated and appeared to be the one stolen from Cage in 2000.

Cage was reported to have accepted an insurance pay-out after the comic book's theft and "will have to work out the details with the company."

In March 2010, a copy of the Superman issue was sold for $1.5 million; it originally sold for a dime.
