Clint Eastwood -- Don't Sit on My Face!

TMZ has obtained a lawsuit in which Clint Eastwood is suing a furniture upholsterer for distributing "The Eastwood" home theater chair.
Read the lawsuit
In the lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court, Eastwood claims Palliser Furniture used "his name, image and/or likeness" to hawk the product. Sit on that!

The company has sold other home theater chairs using the names of stars, including "The Brando," "The Cagney," "The Bronson," and "The Connery." Brando's family also sued the company after his death -- that case is still pending.

Eastwood's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an injunction.

17. Palliser Furniture will probably settle case and the other one pending. They are illegally using the names. Good for Clint!

18. Big deal........somebodys trying to sell a damn chair. Get over it Dirty Harry. Some people are trying to make a living. Not everyone was blessed with the "talent" that you had in shooting up a bunch of bad guys. "Go ahead and make my bed!"

23. Palliser is located in my hometown, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. There are a lot of local businesses that carry the Eastwood name, such as Eastwood Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Eastwood Community Centre and Eastwood Grocery Market. Good luck trying to prove Palliser is ripping off "Clint" (the actor). LOL

24. To bad they didn't name the chair the "Dirty Harry" or "The Unforgiven", I might buy it then! I always wondered why Lazy boy never named a chair the "lazygirl"... something to ponder???.... I'm sure Clint will "make their day"..! hahaha
