Can I use a celebrity's name on a t-shirt?

Question

Ok, here's a question for all you lawyer-pants friends. If I were to make a t-shirt utilizing my home printer and readily available materials from Wal-Mart and it contained the name of a celebrity or public figure on it, could I sell these shirts without getting into legal trouble? I've run into conflicting reports and would like to know for sure.

Answer 1

Yes you can as long as it doesn't have some fancy trademark design of the celebrity on it. Or say a singers latest CD cover art with it. Then it could be a copyright infringement.

Answer 2

No, you cannot print them up for commercial gain without the permission of the person whose image you are using.
