LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A cosmetics company is suing US actress Teri
Hatcher for two million dollars, accusing her of breaking an
advertising contract by promoting a rival brands lip gloss, according
to court documents released Tuesday.
The Hydroderm company lodged a case in a Los Angeles court against
the 43-year-old star of the hit series "Desperate Housewives," saying
she endorsed products of another firm, City Cosmetics, despite being
contracted since November 2005 to promote Hydroderm.
It said she posed for photographs and talked up the rival companys
products in interviews, specifically praising a City Cosmetics lip
gloss which competes with Hydroderms own lip product.
A spokesman for Hatcher was not immediately available for comment.
