Celebrity lawsuits are about as common as me waking up at 2pm and doing nothing for the rest of the day, so it should come as no surprise that the band No Doubt is suing Activision. Here's why according to AP:
The lawsuit claims a feature allows players to have lead singer Gwen Stefani perform suggestive lyrics from the Rolling Stones' hit "Honky Tonk Women." The suit also notes a virtual version of bassist Tony Kanal can be made to sing his band's hit "Just a Girl," but with Stefani's voice.
The company, which is based in Santa Monica, Calif., said in a statement that it engaged in extensive negotiations with No Doubt's management and have a valid written agreement for their participation in "Band Hero."

Well, this did accomplish one thing. Now I have to go buy the game and see Gwen performing suggestive lyrics. That sounds awesome. Off to the store with mom's credit card I go. Yeah, I'm 27. Don't be jealous.
