Paris Hilton Sued For Finally Refusing To Talk About Herself
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 6:10 AM on August 14, 2008
While many actors view publicity tours as a necessary evil for promoting their projects, Paris Hilton always struck us as a different breed: the sort of celebrity who makes intermittent, half-hearted screen appearances simply so she'll be able to discuss something, anything on Letterman's couch. However, it now appears that even Paris has her limits. After declining self-promotion for the first time in her life, TMZ reports that she's being sued for it:
Her 2006 "comedy" "National Lampoon's Pledge This!" was apparently so bad, even Paris wouldn't shill for it. Worldwide Entertainment Group says she got paid a mil — a mil, folks — to act in the movie and then push it on TV and radio. They say she didn't do the latter and so they're going after her in Federal court.
Worldwide wants $75K in damages — probably more than the film's gross. Paris' peeps didn't comment.
Paris, Paris, Paris: as a presidential candidate, now is not the time to be turning down public appearances. Perhaps she can make it up to Worldwide Entertainment with the earnings from her exclusive line of Commander-in-Chief thongs?

Is Worldwide Entertainment affiliated with Worldwide Pants? Because if so, maybe they can CGI Bonnie Hunt into all of Paris' deleted scenes.

Wait, she DIDN'T do something for money? I had to read it a few times. It's opposite day, right?

Remember when she got fucked by that dude and then the dude put it on DVD? Man, what a bad porn. There was a half hour of her putting on make-up in the bathroom. Hot!

Should Paris lose for breaking her contract? Or should Worldwide Entertainment lose for hiring Paris Hilton? We can only hope the judge blows up and kills them all.

She spends that much on Valtrex. She should just pay them.

How the mighty have fallen.
I'm talking National Lampoon, not that walking cum-dumpster.

Pledge This couldn't possibly have been worse than her Soloman skinflute skills, which she didn't (yes, she did) promote day and night. Perhaps her scheduling conflicts in Darfur are to blame?

let's see...she gets paid a million to be a bad actor and the production company wants $75,000 back for her not performing additional duties to promote said bad acting. Paris gets 925k for method acting while the production company looks stupid for hiring her in the first place and will only get 75k out of it if they're lucky. i think Paris gets the win here.

They're only suing for $75,000? Drag it onto Judge Judy!!!

Let me just make sure I got this: National Lampoon paid Paris Hilton to speak? Hokay, what's next? The RSC hires Lauren Conrad?
