Man, what a world we live in. Apparently Paris Hilton ’starred’ (and i use that term loosely) in a movie: “National Lampoon’s Pledge This!” and of course, the movie sucked balls. But the twist is, the producers tried to sue Paris for $8.3M claiming she was the reason the movie flopped. That’s hilarious. That’s what I call twisted irony and it tastes oh so sweet.
Do I blame Paris? Certainly not. You could have had the entire cast of Ocean’s 13 in that movie and out promoting it and it probably would have flopped. It’s just crap film and signing up a floozie to be in it and promote it won’t save it. Apparently the Judge agrees as he’s had some choice quotes regarding the whole suit. You can find them below.
The socialite was sued by Worldwide Entertainment Group for allegedly breaching her contractual commitments for movie ‘National Lampoon’s Pledge This!’, but a Miami judge has ruled she did her best to promote it, stating the movie wa:
“hardly destined for critical acclaim”.
District Judge Federico Moreno said: “Any causal connection between Ms. Hilton’s alleged breaches and the financial ruin of the film are wholly speculative.
“The movie flopped because the film’s inexperienced producers hastily cobbled together a wholly inadequate marketing plan. They sent scattershot requests to their principal star in the hope she could find time to promote a sinking ship.”
While Paris won’t have to pay the $8.3 million damages the producers were asking for, she may have to return the $1 million fee she was given for the film.
A receiver representing the producers has been given until August 26 to submit arguments as to why the blonde star should pay back the sum.
Michael Weinsten, Paris’ lawyer, said in a statement following the ruling: “We are grateful for the judge’s time and thoughtful consideration of the issues in this case.”
