Just to clarify from Renderosity's viewpoint... We would not accept a character into the RMP or Freestuff that was named as a famous person. EG if you submit a free character "Madonna" or "Britney Spears" we wouldn't accept it as named. You may also want to consider, from an ethical standpoint, that famous people have the right to control what their likeness is used for (as cooler stated). Once you've sold a character pack based on, say, Jennifer Lopez, any of your customers could potentially use that character to make her advertise used cars, alcohol, as a virtual spokeshead for a political viewpoint, or (probably most likely) as a virtual pornstar. That's why the Anna-Marie Goddard clone at Daz has a different and more restrictive EULA. As cooler said, you should probably take independent legal advice on your specific situation before deciding on such a course of action. It could be risky, painful and expensive otherwise!
