This seems kind of petty to me, but I'm interested in seeing how it ends.

I don't know...Does Brooke have the right to the use or promotion of her name? or can any company or individual use her name without her knowledge and consent to profit off of it?

Right? I've read where other actresses/models are thrilled that Charlotte names products after them; they are flattered. Makes Brooke's lawsuit seem petty indeed. They didn't use her FULL name, but the "S" made it pretty obvious. Still, I doubt she has a copyright on "Brooke S" and/or eyebrow products, sheesh. Not sure how that works.

I would definitely like it if someone named a beauty product after me What's the problem, Mrs. Shields?

I can see why the company did it though as Brooke always had thick full natural eyebrows which is a stand out feature for her. Not that a pencil would actually make them look like hers. I do think the company is supposed to ask her permission though to use her name.

Where is her residual from the sales? I think that's her issue.

Wow - Brooke get over yourself. It's a compliment.

I can understand if it was called "Brooke Shields Brow", or if they were using her photos to promote it, but they're not. None of the other models or actresses who her products have been named after have complained. There's a Kim KW, even one called "Kidman's Kiss" after Nicole Kidman. I've always liked her and she never struck me as being so petty.
