Kooky Lady Rides Naked Cowboy for $10 Mil

Posted Apr 2nd 2008 11:17AM by TMZ Staff

Some woman wants to ride the Naked Cowboy's bare back to try to nab $10 mil from the folks who make M&Ms.

Bonnie Vent says Mars stole her idea for an Addams Family-themed TV spot in a suit filed suspiciously soon after the Naked Cowboy sued the company for $8 million for swiping his Speedo'd image for a digital billboard.

Here's where Ms. Vent's argument has some gaps: She says she pitched an ad with the original Wednesday Addams and Cousin Itt. Which raises two questions: Wasn't the show forty years ago, and ... Cousin Itt was played by a human being?

Mars hasn't gotten back to our request for comment.

16. Obviously there are folks here who don't get around. Naked cowboy is great. He's very campy and hams it up for everyone. Think of Fabio with a funny twist. You can call him what you want, he makes more than a million dollars a year and has statues of him in all the tourist shops in NYC.

18. The problem with this is that M&M/Mars asked him before hand about using his likeness in an ad and he turned them down. They ran it anyways. THAT is why they're being sued.
