Paris Hilton Won't Owe More Than $8 Million Over Pledge This Lawsuit
Posted on Tue Aug 18, 2009 01:50 PM PDT
As you may recall, Paris Hilton was sued by the producers of Pledge This! after they claimed she failed to do her share of promotional duties for the 2006 film.
Michael Goldberg, the court-appointed receiver for a failed Miami investor in the film claims Hilton's failure to promote the film's DVD release cost the investor more than $8.3 million, which is the amount of damages he's seeking. Today a Miami judge told the Associated Press Miss P won't have to pay more than $8 million because of it, and while that isn't great news, it looks like Paris may actually be able to get out of this altogether!
Though U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno says Hilton could still have to repay some of the $1 million she was paid to make the film, if Paris' attorneys file the correct documents and show that the hotel heiress did do her part to plug to film, she may be off the hook.
Paris Hilton Entertainment Inc. insists that Paris honored her deal to promote the limited theatrical release of Pledge This!, and they also contend that the investors made unreasonable and last-minute demands for publicity events when her schedule was fully booked. Court documents in the case show that Paris earned more than $22 million in 2006 and 2007 from contracts that included heavy promotional work, including Motorola cell phones in Japan, her Parlux line of fragrances, so even though this isn't a victory for Paris, we're thinking her lawyers will be able to pull something together!
I mean, when has Paris ever not promoted one of her

They should sue her for trying to act. She's the most horrible thing I've ever seen on-screen. She doens't move her face at all!
Plus, don't worry if Paris has to pay it will be chump change for her. Besides, Daddy hired the best lawyers, do you really expect she's going to be punished for not fulfilling her contractual obligations.
like the movie even MADE 8 mil. NOBODY bothered to see it!
No one will ever believe that Paris refused to promote something with her name on it.
It was just a bad movie and no additianal promotion could help it.
