Shannon Tweed lounges, perhaps illegally

Actress Shannon Tweed was hit with a small claims court claim in 2007 by photographer Dimitri Halkidis, who alleged that Tweed did not get his permission before featuring photos he had taken (such as this one) in her book Kiss & Tell. Public records online reveal that Halkidis filed a claim against Tweed in Los Angeles County on April 2, 2007. The hearing occurred on May 17, 2007, with judge Carol Hallowitz presiding. Per those court records, the plaintiff (Halkidis) appeared but the defendant (Tweed) did not. However, in a twist ending, the court ordered the case dismissed without prejudice, "per plaintiff's request."
