By the way, "Fair Use" is not defined based on the appropriateness of the image to the article, if you're referring to copyright law.

You're confusing de minimus with fair use. de minimus as a defense just implies the use of the work was insufficient to impact the monetary value of the copyright for the copyright holder. This is a defense which is officially invalid in 3 districts of the court of appeals. The supreme court has yet to weigh in. Fair use specifically requires critical commentary or discussion on the work itself, something usually not done in the case of celebrity images, for example.
