This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of promotional material

to illustrate the work or product being discussed;
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it;
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Rationale

The image is of a world renowned entetainer, the pop-singer and a model. For such articles having a representative image of the subject is extremely important to the reader's being able to consume the article's content, that is to get the best possible idea of the article's subject. No comparable free image is available to the best of the uploader's knowledge.

Getting a shot from a stray Wikipedian meeting her in the street is extremely unlikely. Besides, the amateur quality image taken as she cares for her everyday business cannot substitute the professional quality image specifically released to give the viewers the best representation of the subject, especially when talking about professioanl entetainers whose appearance is very important in their public perception.

The image was proposed for deletion as a replaceable fair use image. The result of the debate was to Keep the image as no adequate free-licensed image image exists or can be created.
