Marilyn Monroe got a temporary fashion makeover. Residents spotted red writing across the skirt of the 26-foot-tall statue of Monroe in downtown Palm Springs. The marks on her dress were promptly scrubbed off Wednesday after city crews were alerted. It ended up being a modest and very minor event, but we are working, obviously, to keep it secure and tag free, Assistant City Manager Tom Wilson said. Police are reviewing surveillance footage to try to spot the graffiti artist, Sgt. Mike Kovaleff said. The statue, which depicts Monroe's famous pose from the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch, has brought Palm Springs much international attention since its May 14 arrival. PS Resorts, a consortium of local hotels, raised $100,000 through 37 private donors to beat out groups in Tokyo, Paris and Madrid that were vying for Forever Marilyn.

20th Century Fox AVELA, a company that specializes in nostalgia merchandise, has filed a lawsuit in New York, alleging that the Marilyn Monroe estate is interfering with its licensing activity. The estate of Marilyn Monroe aggressively protects the image and likeness of the deceased blonde starlet, but has suffered court losses over the years that have put into serious doubt whether Monroe's publicity rights survived her death. Despite judgments that ruled that Monroe couldn't devise by will a property right she did not own at the time of her death in 1962, the estate has continued to send out cease-and-desist letters, including one to the makers of a "Virtual Marilyn" Monroe hologram. AVELA says that it has also received a cease-and-desist and is now suing to punish the estate for its legal aggressiveness. The plaintiff licenses images of old Hollywood stars to a company named Silver Buffalo, which appears to manufacture merchandise such as this Marilyn Monroe cer...
