May 17 -- Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brad Pitt, Naomi Campbell and Halle Berry have all gone to court, looking for a little bit of privacy.

Now America's sweetheart and Friends star Jennifer Aniston is waging a legal battle about her right to be away from the public eye.

Aniston, who plays Rachel on Friends — and also happens to be Mrs. Brad Pitt — is suing two British magazines for publishing paparazzi pictures taken over her fence while she was sunbathing topless in her back yard.

She filed the lawsuit two years ago against the publishers of High Society and Celebrity Skin magazines after the nude photos appeared alongside the headlines "Friends Star X-Posed Rachel, Monica and Phoebe Get Naked!" and "Rachel Gets Raunchy!" The photos were allegedly taken by a "stalkerazzi" photographer who scaled a neighbor's fence, the suit claims.

The lawsuit claims that the magazines violated her right to privacy. Aniston is seeking unspecified damages and wants a judge to order the publisher to stop distributing the pictures. The case will be heard in July.

Controlling Her Image

"Here we are talking not only about criminal, but civil liability," Julie Hilden, a New York attorney and legal analyst, told ABCNEWS' Good Morning America. "Jennifer Aniston has not only a claim for invasion of her right of privacy, she also has a claim for invasion of what's called the right of publicity. Which is the right to control her image, and to control the instances in which her image is used to sell a commercial product."

The magazine's defense centers on the idea that the 33-year-old mega-star isn't so innocent. With provocative poses on magazine covers and advertisements, the publishers challenge Aniston's claims that the pictures caused "shame, hurt, embarrassment and distress."

Hilden does not think that the defense tactic will work.

"Even if they do show that she posed close to fully nude in the photos that she did, I don't think it will make a lot of difference in the case," Hilden said. "Although, it could undermine her position with the judge, and her credibility, because her complaint says that she hasn't before."
