Illegally Blonde?

Organisers Digicon Media’s show  "Virtual Marilyn" features  the projected blond bombshell singing and interacting alongside live music stars, but has attracted the attention of attorneys Sheppard Mullin who represent the Monroe estate in what might become a developing legal controversy.
