Posturing a little for the Judge, Paris?
OMG!
Three hours a day, Paris Hilton painstakingly blow-dries and teases her golden locks at a vanity cabinet (no pun intended) in a self-indulgent effort to whip up a "do" worthy of adoration befitting stalking paparazzi (out for the money shot, darlings!) and breathy fans straining for a peak at her (um) sweetness and light.
But, producers of a film - "Pledge This" - lamented in a court proceeding that her priorities weren't straight (were lacking) for failing to aggressively tout the production in accord with a contract she signed on the dotted line, sealed (with a kiss?), and delivered.
Well, I expect she just twittered it, eh?
Meanwhile, a Florida judge ruled that Paris does not have to pay-out a whopping $8.3 million to cover alleged damages that surfaced after the "turkey" bombed big-time at the Box Office.
From the bench, Judge Federico Moreno ruled that he was satisfied that Paris made an effort to promote the ti*s & a** youth-oriented feature (think Frat House dudes & dudettes) - and hence - met her legal & moral obligation to the Tinsel Town "suits" now out-to-empty her mad-money clutch purse.
In his own words, he opined:
"The plaintiff - a court-appointed receiver assigned to collect debts from the 2006 stinker — didn't offer compelling evidence that Hilton's alleged contractual breaches caused "foreseeable damages," nor "could point to no actual contractual provision, and could proffer no specific testimony from anyone who actually decided to invest in the movie, that Ms. Hilton's prospective promotion of the DVD release, in particular, induced their investment."
Even still, the Judge was reticent about leaving the "studio moguls" in the cold.
Judge Moreno noted that he hasn't decided whether to make Hilton give back a $1 million payment for commiting to the film or set a hearing date to orally (!) discuss the subject.
Paris, it may behoove you to discuss the potentially-niggling issue with the Judge "in chambers".
After all, a pound of perfumed flesh may resolve the sticky issue, with little more ado.
Here's a timely quote for future reference.
Edwin Edwards once warned:
"Never speak ill of dead people or live judges"
Amen!
