Looks like Verne Troyer isn't too happy about starring in a sex tape released yesterday. The vertically challenged actor is now filing a suit against TMZ, claiming he sent them cease-and-desist letters both before and after a 20-second clip was posted on their site.
He is also suing Kevin Blatt, the genius behind One Night In Paris and many other celebrity sex tapes. Kevin is rumored to be looking at a $100,000 distribution offer from SugarDVD for the footage.
Verne is seeking $20 million for damages as well as attorney's fees and an injunction that would prevent the video from being shown again. His charges include violation of privacy, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, violation of right to publicity and misappropriation of name and likeness.
Should Mini-Me sue? This tape could totally give the guy some street cred -- or maybe destroy any chances for it. Someone should have him discuss the deal with Paris or Kim. Look what it did for their "careers!"

Question:
Do 'vertically-challenged' men have a normal size...third leg?
peachpie says:
you read my mind....
say what? says:
and mine. I think that's the question that EVERYBODY'S asking.
Zekers says:
Come on guys, I was counting on you! Now I have to do research...
peachpie says:
*waits on tiny - wait - vertically challenged pins and needles*
Zekers says:
Okay, well that search yielded some unexpected results... : o whew! Anyway...Seems it depends on the type of Dwarfism the guy has, but most commonly, dwarf men have a normal (proportionate) sized, er, 'third leg.' Cracked me up, there were a couple of search results that were women writing in on the subject as it came up "over drinks" and no one knew the answer...sound familiar?
It is definitely Friday...

zekers: thanks.... it must look odd though... little body and chachong chachong... oh well good for them...
say what? says:
zekers, thank you for doing the research that no one really wanted to do.
interesting results.
Jeanie says:
So Mini-me's mini-me is...mini?? as in proportionate? Did anyone actually see his video? I was hoping someone on here did because I certainly don't want to look at it. It seems like sometimes little people have regular sized hands and feet, though Verne Troyer doesn't.
peachpie says:
zekers - you're hired. excellent research. thank you for helping me eliminate the question of verne troyers third-leg from my brain, forevah! sweet relief!
