THE POWER TO CONTROL IDENTITY: LIMITING A CELEBRITY'S RIGHT TO PUBLICITY I. INTRODUCTION In a recent series of television commercials, tennis star Andre Agassi says that "Image is everything."' Most celebri- ties would probably agree with this statement, along with the notion that nothing is more important than the right to con- trol their image. In California, as in a vast majority of juris- dictions, the ability to control one's image is accomplished by protecting against the commercial appropriation of one's identity.2 Courts and commentators have differed as to whether this legal protection falls under a theory of "privacy," "property," or "publicity," but all agree that the interest exists and deserves protection.3 As the influence of the media grows increasingly perva- sive in society, however, the question of how to protect this interest becomes more troublesome.

  • 'Wheel of Fortune' Hopefuls Fill Nitro Casino
    April 22, 2012 'Wheel of Fortune' hopefuls fill Nitro casino Lawrence Pierce Amy Cobb gets a high five from host Marty Lublin for solving the puzzle at the Wheel of Fortune auditions Sunday at the Mardi Gras Casino and Resort in Cross Lanes. By Lori Kersey, Charleston Gazette Lawrence Pierce The crowd cheers at the Wheel of Fortune auditions Sunday afternoon. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Wheel of Fortune" fans poured into the Mardi Gras Casino and Resort bright and early Sunday morning for their chance to be a contestant on the popular television game show. The "Wheel of Fortune" "Wheel Mobile" -- a 39-foot Winnebago that tours nationwide in search of contests for the television game show -- drew a huge crowd during its first stop ever in West Virginia. The first man to show up for auditions got to the casino at 7:30 a.m. for a 2 p.m. audition, Bob Lagg, general manager of the casino, said. Between 700 and 750 people showed up for the first audition. All three rounds of Sunday's auditions were held in a tent outside the casino. Lagg said the game show had originally wanted to be in Charleston but chose the Nitro casino because the circus was at the Civic Center this weekend. "I guess we were the bridesmaid," Lagg said. Still, Lagg said having "Wheel of Fortune" at the casino has been great exposure for the facility and the Kanawha Valley. "My guess is that a lot of [those trying out] haven't been here before," Lagg said. "It's great exposure for Charleston and the surrounding area and with any luck they'll gamble with us.
