FOX NEWS - Dec 15 - Actress Ashley Madison Myrick, has filed a lawsuit against online dating site Ashley Madison for the “humiliation’ she has endured over having the same name as the site that promotes infidelity. She wants the site to change their name and claims that the Web site AshleyMadisonbio.com is connected to the infidelity site and features her photo without permission. But Pop Tarts has exclusively obtained a $1M counter-suit filed by Ashley Madison (the Web site) against Ashley Madison (the actress). According to their suit, they don’t even own the domain AshleyMadsionbio.com and have had the infamous “Ashley Madison” name trademarked since 2002 whereas Myrick only adopted the moniker as a “stage name” in 2005. The affair matchmakers are now suing the actress for using their trademark to “inappropriately garner goodwill” to support her acting career.

I hope they win this countersuit. I hate frivolous lawsuits.
