Yes he can, but I believe he will have to download an extended license (I-EL) to increase the amount of times he can use that image (on multiple magazines) Check with the stock agency to be safe.

Increase Max Copies (I-EL):
Extends our regular Royalty Free license to a maximum amount of printed copies of up to 2,500,000 copies.
This is an additional license to the rights included within the regular Royalty-Free license. Note that the other restrictions still apply.

Web Usage (W-EL):
Electronic Items for Resale: this license includes the right to use the photos for webtemplates that are sold to more customers, screensavers, e-cards, powerpoint presentations or as wallpapers on cell phones. Maximum number of electronical items is 10,000 copies (applies as a total of each type of usage). If this amount is exceeded you need to acquire this license once again. The new license will provide you with the standard amount of copies.
This is an additional license to the rights included within the regular Royalty-Free license. Note that the other restrictions still apply.

Print Usage (P-EL):
Physical Items for Resale: includes the right to use the photos for t-shirts, postcards, greeting cards, mugs, mousepads, posters, calendars, framed artwork that is to be sold to other customers for a maximum amount of 10,000 copies (applies as a total of each type of usage).

I should think not. Unlikely that there will be any pictures of a well-known actress which are appropriately model-released on any of the newer microstock agencies. Getty/Corbis/Alamy often have pictures of celebrities for sale (for a much higher price) but these will be for editorial use only and would not be allowed in advertising a product or business.

I think your friend will have to find a "lookalike"!

If it happens to be on a stock site other then Getty/Corbis/Alamy would the same restrictions apply?

E.g. I have a picture of Alonso and Kimi on my shutterstock, would people be allowed to just publish them in a magazine, say with a I-EL license? Or would they have to get some kind of permission?

Im not too sure about this...... :dunno:

The thing is that it's not where it's published but what it's used for. If it's published on a Web site as a news article, no model release is required. If it's published in a magazine in an ad, it's required. The reason for this is if the person is seen as endorsing a service or product, the model must consent. If the article is about her and does not touch on endorsement, no model release is required.

As what Phil has mentioned, you probably have to hire that actress for the ad.

They are only for Editorial use so yes, they could be published in an article about F1, but not in an advert for anything.
