Paris Hilton sued for lack of success

Paris HiltonParis Hilton’s movies don’t do very well at the box office and are hardly seen by anyone, so it should come as no surprise she is being sued by film producers for her movie’s lack of success. Her most recent film, National Lampoon’s Pledge This! was a huge disappointment at the overseas box office and now Worldwide Entertainment Group is suing Hilton for $75,000, because they claim she did not fulfill the “reasonable promotion and publicity” part of her agreement. The heiress was paid $1 million to appear in and “executive produce” the film, which the producers are probably regretting. The film was so bad it wasn’t even released in the U.S. and went straight to DVD. Her subsequent film, The Hottie and the Nottie, was only released on 111 screens in the U.S. and made less than $28,000, which doesn’t even cover her salary.

    space and air, try life. Just stop breathing already Paris, not that she takes much in anyway!

    It’s funny, I thought One Night In Paris made a killing. Maybe she should stick to the genre that suits her best …

    One night in Paris was her best work lol! She’ll probably never come anywhere close to that sort of success again!
    As for the producers… why they had any sort of success expectations when it came to her is beyond me. Had they never heard of her or met her or read about her before casting? C’mon, let’s keep it real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    someone finally realized she’s done NOTHING in her life but got lucky being born to filthy rich and ridiculous parents.

    If she was being sued for lack of success, I think it would be for $75 million instead of $75,000!! LMAO

    I think the general public should sue the producers for being so stupid as to emply Paris and think she’ll be entertaining!!

    If they were naive enough to let her executive produce a movie then they deserve what they get – It’s Paris Hilton – she has no talent other than being the rich party girl. About time they start seeing her for what she is.

    Can we all sue her for polluting our tv sets?

  13. vicki • August 17, 2008 @ 7:51 AM

    Someone paid Paris Hilton a million dollars and now they’re suing because they think SHE’S not reasonable?! How does so much money end up in the hands of such morons???

    Check out the guy in the photo behind Paris. His camera phone is pointed right at her…looking to make a quick buck I guess!
