Minogue caught up in strip club photo battle

Kylie Minogue's lawyers have served the owner of a Wellington, Australia stripclub a cease and desist notice urging him to remove a picture of the pop star from the venue's window.

Kylie Minogue's lawyers have served the owner of a Wellington, Australia stripclub a cease and desist notice urging him to remove a picture of the pop star from the venue's window.

However, club boss Garth Rosson insists the Spinning Around singer's legal team has been caught up in a case of mistaken identity.

In a stern letter to Rosson, Minogue's London-based attorneys claim the image of their client indicated the singer endorsed the establishment and what went on inside.

Rosson insists the picture was downloaded from the Internet - and bore no resemblance to the singer.

He tells 'The Dominion Post' that the raunchy outfit the Kylie look-alike was wearing should have indicated it was not the real Minogue.

He says: "What would a nice girl like Kylie be doing in a wet top like that?"

But Rosson has agreed to take the image out of his window, adding, "We wouldn't want to upset her (Minogue). Not at Christmas anyway."
