If seeing Adam Sandler’s movie poster everywhere around LA isn’t enough for you, now there’s more controversy surrounding the flick.

The author of a 2003 webzine, 2005 comic book and 2007 novel all titled The Hair-Raising Adventures of Jayms Blonde has launched a legal drop down drag out against Sandler, seeking to halt the June 6 release of You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, E! News reported today.

The author is named Robert W. Cabell, and sad to say, I don’t think this guy can stop the comedic powerhouse of Adam Sandler and Happy Madison, Inc.

Ellis J. Pailet, a Louisiana attorney who represents the author Robert W. Cabell, sent a cease and desist letter earlier this month to Sandler’s people, accusing them of ripping off his client’s ideas and threatening with a full-blown lawsuit.

Sandler’s publicist, Cindi Guagenti, declined to discuss the claims or potential litigation.

“We don’t comment on lawsuits, especially ones without merit,” she said.

Sandler 1, unknown author-guy 0.

For his part, Pailet notes in the May 8 letter several supposed similarities between Cabell’s gay crusader action hero, who fights bad guys with his “trademarked Uzi blow-dryer, bulletproof mousse and hair-curler hand-grenades,” and Sandler’s Israeli Mossad agent, who fakes his death to leave the spy business to cut hair in New York.

“Your transformation of our client’s gay character into your heterosexual character is not a fair use,” the letter reads.  “Like the Blonde logo, the Zohan logo used to promote your movie depicts your character pointing a blow-dryer as if it were a weapon.”

Really??  I think this guy just wants the spotlight on him, and he knows that picking a public feud right before a movie’s release is a good publicity stunt.  One may argue not as good as a ’surprise’ wedding in the Bahamas, but a close second.

Pailet is theorizing that Sandler and costar Rob Schneider may have swiped the character because they were among “Cabell’s first 100 MySpace friends in 2005 when the Blonde MySpace.com website was created.”

All this legal stuff is making it all sound very serious, but really I don’t think this is gonna go anywhere.

Does anyone actually believe this story?
