All in all, nothing will probably come of this. But why Alien would even open himself up to the possibility of something happening with a big name author such as Anne Rice is beyond me. He could have gotten the same effect out of that image by using a lesser known author and reducing his risk at the same time.

funny...i am sitting right here with a bunch of random porn magazines, and there is a coca-cola in one, and here is one with a people magazine on the table....

We have done shoots for Hustler Magazine, and they have purposely put things on the tables, name brand things, and I questioned it, and they told me it wasn't to be worried about.....and they explained to me what I wrote above
The reason you see people removing things, is cause they are being careful, but when you have Larry Flynt's team of lawyers, you don't have to be careful
