Paris Hilton may owe $160,000 over Pledge This!

Reported by the Associated Press

Paris Hilton may owe investors in her 2006 movie “Pledge This!” about $160,000 for failing to do enough promotion.

U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno in Miami ruled Thursday that the 29-year-old celebrity socialite didn’t live up to her contract when refusing interviews with publications in Russia and the United Kingdom.

Hilton’s spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

Moreno preliminarily valued those lost opportunities at $160,000. But the judge wants more information about Hilton’s contract before finalizing the amount. The investors initially wanted $8.3 million.

The judge’s decision follows Hilton’s arrest last weekend in Las Vegas on cocaine possession charges. Hilton told police the small amount of cocaine was not hers.

If there’s anything I respect & love Paris for, it’s her ability to rise above & bounce back from everything; she’s strong!

Just goes to show no matter how lucky you are, there are always hurdles in life!

Even though I think this whole lawsuit was kind of ridiculous, at least the judge has lowered the amount from 8.3 million to 160,000 dollars. I don’t think Paris will miss that much if she’s made to pay; she’ll just be glad to put this whole thing behind her.

It’s actually close to 2% of the initial amount, but how he came up with the calculation is a mystery.
