Verne "Mini Me" Troyer Sues TMZ Over Sex Tape Story

Verne "Mini Me" Troyer has filed a $20 million lawsuit against celeb Web site TMZ.com for running a clip of his sex tape online. In the suit (filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles), the actor, 39, alleges that the site violated his privacy rights, infringed on his copyright and misappropriated his name and likeness. He claims Kevin Blatt — who distributed Paris Hilton 's One Night in Paris — stole the tape (Blatt is named as a defendant in the suit). Troyer is also seeking an injunction prohibiting further dissemination of the video. TMZ — which reported the news on its Web site Thursday — aired the 20-second clip earlier this week. The snippet shows Troyer tongue-kissing a former "live-in girlfriend" in their apartment. A source tells Us the rest of the tape is considerably racier . (link)
