Paris Hilton sued for not making Pledge This! a success
August 13th 2008 05:32
Paris Hilton isn't exactly what you'd call a Hollywood player, but she has had cameos in movies such as Zoolander and small roles in films like House of Wax and the 2006 flop National Lampoon's Pledge This! It is for the latter movie that she is being sued by the film's distributor, for not doing her part to promote the straight-to-DVD film. Apparently Paris ducked out of her publicity duties for the film - for which she was paid US$1 million to star in - and so the heiress will owe US$75,000 in damages for failing to provide "reasonable promotion and publicity" for the movie.
In the B-grade flick, which also stars ex-Neighbours beauty Holly Valance, Hilton plays a sorority queen by the name of Victoria English. I haven't seen the movie personally, nor do I intend to, but it's not an easy ask to make something that sounds so incredibly schmaltzy a success. Perhaps this is why the amount Hilton is being sued for is relatively small.
Still, Hilton's attempts at an acting career are far from over: she's starring in the upcoming Repo: The Genetic Opera, due for US release in November this year. Let's hope she lives up to her publicity commitments this time...
