Paris Hilton Fan – A Paris Hilton Fansite

The Boston Herald reports that Paris Hilton’s lawyers weren’t able to get the lawsuit from the producers of Pledge This! tossed out of court. The judge has ruled that the movie producers have enough of a case to warrant a full blown trial (which could drag on and on.) Paris will have to formally stand trial in Miami starting in June.

An unnamed neighbor of Paris’ has offered to pay more than the cost of her rent if her landlord will forcibly evict her. I’m not sure that’s entirely legal – it would depend on the contract. But we’re talking about 27,000 pounds a month, which, last I checked, would have come to over $40,000 US dollars every month. It’s amazing how some people will throw money around, and how personal they can get in such a short time.

Last week it got out that neighbors had to call the cops because Paris and Doug were having such a loud fight. It turns out they weren’t – though the story was basically the truth. Paris got a prank call from someone mournfully informing her that Tinkerbell was hit by a car. Paris was devestated and started screaming and Doug was screaming to try to calm her down when a neighbor decided he’d had enough and called the police. Thankfully, Tinkerbell is fine. Somebody out there just has a cruel sense of humor.

There’s a new Paris Hilton documentary , which actually sounds pretty decent, called Paris, Not France. The director got decent access and Celebuzz of course trashes it on principle. But there’s a trailer. You can check it out for yourself.

Paris moved in with Doug earlier this week, and apparently things aren’t going well. First they hosted a ridiculously loud party and the police had to ask them to knock it off. Then the party guests responded by going outside and egging cars, including Paris’. Then last night at an event in Hollywood Paris and Doug got into a fight and they took it home with them. They had such a screaming match that the police had to come out again, and then the couple refused to open the gate for them so the cops had to jump the gate and basically storm the house. You’ve got to wonder whether the neighbors might enjoy calling the cops on Paris and creating tabloid news or whether, at least, they were still fed up enough about having their car egged earlier in the week that they didn’t have a very high tolerence left when the screaming started. But maybe it was that bad.

Paris’ trial testimony continued today , and I’m sorry but it’s getting funnier as it goes. I swear this sounds so much like a comedy skit, not a legitimate legal proceeding. Paris was asked whether she keeps a record of her meetings. She said no. If she can’t remember what she has coming up "I just press my name and Google it and see." When asked if she could produce a cell phone showing her call history she said "With my phone I never know, because I lose it all the time. I probably get a new cellphone, like, every two weeks." Since the entire basis of the lawsuit is that Paris is being accused of not having done enough as the series producer to promote the film she was asked what she saw as the producers’ main responsibilities are. She said, "I’m not sure what a producer does, but – I don’t know, help get cool people in the cast?"

You’d think that would pretty much be trial-ending except for one thing. It doesn’t just prove she didn’t do anything to promote the film. It proves that the producers didn’t even make clear to her what they wanted her to do. Gosh!

E! has a great new article poking fun of the absurdities of the producers’ of Pledge This!’s lawsuit against Paris (for failing to work hard enough in promoting the movie.) Apparently Paris was forced to spell out in her court testimony trivialities like whether she prefers Letterman or Leno and whether she pays her own cell phone bill. The cell phone bill thing came up when the prosecution portrayed her as someone so wrapped up in her various dramas that she’s never even seen her own cell phone bill. When asked directly who pays her cell phone bill she said, "I don’t know. I’m assuming, like, whoever pays my bills…I never ask about that stuff." As evidence that she does work hard to promote films Paris’ defense attorney insisted she won’t go on Leno because he once veered off script and failed to offer her the opportunity to plug her latest project. She said, "Although I think Leno is a nice guy and very funny, David Letterman and I have a special connection,” Hilton said. “I think he’s adorable, charming, hysterical and I always have a fun time with him on the show. I go back on next month to see him again to promote season two of BFF . I look forward to it—I miss Dave!"

Wow. This sounds so much like a Saturday Night Live skit parodying a trial that I’m wondering how Saturday Night Live will actually be able to parody it.

Paris is being sued by the producers of the 2006 movie "Pledge This" for not doing enough to promote the movie. Yeah, because I’m sure THAT’S why it bombed. Paris testified in court, "Any chance I got, any red carpet, any press, if I was doing something for another product … I would just bring it up, ‘Oh, my new sorority film, it’s going to be sexy, it’s going to be really hot girls’ — like I really, you know, did my best." So basiclly she tried to offer it the appeal of a cheap, glitzy burlesque show, which is basically what it was.

More than a few tabloid writers are snickering about comments Paris made in a recent issue of the UK’s Tatler magazine but somehow I hear a little admiration in those chuckles. Paris was asked how she could defend blowing so much money on shopping in this economy. She said – and I think this is dead on – "I am helping the economy by doing a lot of shopping." Sure, that’s a dumb blond way of putting it because its so simplistic. But I’m sorry but do you mean to tell me Paris understands the economic crisis better than these writers do? A significant aspect of the problem is that no one is investing, and no one’s spending. Paris’ contribution – while enormous compared to mine or yours – still won’t fix anything by itself. But it’s a start.

Paris told a reporter half of an interesting story about her recent trip to England. Apparently she bought an expensive wig, hoping that wearing it would allow her and Doug to explore the city undetected but "as usual it didn’t work." Okay, so why didn’t it work? The article doesn’t say. My top guesses are 1) Because she was still carrying a purse with a miniature dog in it, 2) Because Doug wasn’t wearing a wig and people recognize him now too, 3) Because her voice is recognizable, 4) Because the paparazzi saw her buy the wig so they weren’t fooled and they followed her anyway. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it? Becoming a celebrity sounds like such a great idea until you’ve done it. Then you’re just stuck with a tab for all of that fun and ego that you can never pay off.
