	Evel Knievel Sues Kanye West - December 12, 2006
		Evel Knievel Sues Kanye West - December 12, 2006
		DECEMBER 12--Retired daredevil Evel Knievel is suing Kanye West, claiming the rapper ripped off his trademarked look in a recent music video in which the performer, using the handle "Evel Kanyevel," wears a red, white, and blue jumpsuit during a failed rocket ride over a gorge.
		Knievel, 68, charges that West copied his look down to a distinctive "EK" belt buckle in the video for "Touch The Sky," a single off his hit album "Late Registration." An excerpt from Knievel's trademark infringement lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida, can be found below.

		As you've probably guessed, this movie is a biography of Evel Knievel, the famous stunt motorcyclist who captivated audiences around thirty years ago.
