Lady Gaga eyes legal action over breast milk ice cream AFP/File - A notice informing customers that 'Baby Gaga breast milk ice cream' has sold out is seen in the ... The New York singer's lawyers have given the manufacturers until 1600 GMT Wednesday to change the name "if you wish to avoid proceedings for trade mark infringement and passing off", according to a letter addressed to London restaurant The Icecreamists Limited. The cafe in the trendy Covent Garden district must also "cease and desist from in any other way associating with Lady Gaga any ice cream you are offering," said the letter from law firm Mishcon de Reya. The letter accuses The Icecreamists of "taking unfair advantage of, and riding on the coattails of" Lady Gaga's trademarks in a manner that is "deliberately provocative and, to many people, nausea-inducing". The ice cream has proved a big hit, with the first batch sold out within days of going on sale. It is made with milk expressed by 15 women who replied to an advertisement posted on an online mothers' forum. Each serving costs 14 and is brought out by waitresses wearing flamboyant costumes, something Lady Gaga is well-known for. But it is now off the menu after Westminster City Council, the local authority, seized the ice cream for health and safety checks. "We are taking the ice cream away for samples," a spokeswoman told AFP, adding that they expected the results on Monday. The owner has voluntarily agreed not to make any more or sell any more until we've got all the results." Breast milk could carry viral infections, including hepatitis, she explained. The manufacturers have said they use the same screening procedures as blood donation centres or milk banks in London.
Report Abuse gaga must be very attention deprived and she probably did not get any as a child. she can't get attention any other way than to do the ridiculous and dress the same way. but then, she is making headlines which is what she wants and mo' money, which is the name of the game.
Report Abuse Why is this ignorant B followed by C word still even news? Hasn't she been proven a fraud and a man and haven't her "SHOCK and AWE campaign" and that little girl Justin Bhole been overexposed out of existence already.
Report Abuse Gaga please review the definition in the dictionary. offensive term: an offensive term that insults somebody's mental abilities, especially those of a senior citizen - "wow he is ever gaga" Or very enthusiastic: completely infatuated or very enthusiastic - "I am so gaga over him.
Report Abuse So is your lawyers gonna sue everyone that say Goo Goo Gaga to their children? How do these lawyers even know thats how they even came up with the name, hence being (so nasty to me) breast milk, which babies drink, yet again, hence the most commonly used word when talking to babies 'Gaga'. Hell, when I first heard the name Lady Gaga, I rolled on the floor laughing.
