RODMAN IN SUIT SAYS NO ONE MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A PAPER DOLL

11.11.1997

          Dennis Rodman has filed suit in CA against Random House
     and Crown Publishers for "allegedly" creating a paper doll
     "in his likeness dressed in a wedding gown and pink
     panties," according to Barbara Kingsley of the ORANGE COUNTY
     REGISTER.  The suit alleges the companies "marketed the toy
     against his desire," and adds that the doll is
     "'substantially similar' to a product Rodman had earlier
     refused to endorse."  One doll has Rodman's likeness in a
     red and white basketball uniform with "Bulls" on the front.
     It is called "Bad As I Wanna Dress, The Unauthorized Dennis
     Rodman Paper Doll Book."  Random House and Crown could not
     be reached for comment (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 11/11).
