People: Yoko Ono's Latest Cause

AL PACINO AND YOKO ONO? We never thought we'd be saying these two names in the same breath, but these days anything seems possible. Aside from nibbling on Corgie and guilt-tripping her son, Yoko Ono's latest crusade is protecting the images of dead celebrities. She and Pacino are backing a New York measure that will punish those who use deceased stars' images without their estates' permission. Although it's a fine line. Says one lawmaker: "You want to stop the bobble head dolls. You don't want to stop the plays."

Speaking of bobble heads, we wonder what Pacino thinks about his doll. We weren't able to find one of Yoko. Sigh. [NY Daily News; AP via WaPo; Free Ride/Express]

An issue that seems to be considerably more important. Ahem. Okay, stepping off high horse .... [TMZ; AOL Video]
