HQ, Ed is right concerning the banners. You know, the only celeb site that I beleive is 100% legal is Mr. Skin simply because of the way it is set up. Mr. Skin has taken precautions to make sure that all its content stays within fair use guidelines. All the other celeb sites are in violation of copyright law but at the same time most of them have taken precautions (e.g. no Playboy pictures, no fakes) to protect themselves as best they can against getting sued. So it's really going to have to be a personal decision you make. No, you're not going to get into trouble for using a Britney Spears banner (at least no one has ever been sued for using celebrity images on banners) but yes, the sponsor does not own the copyrights to the pics on the banners.
