Paris charms judge in court hearing

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Paris Hilton leaves court in Miami after testifying

Now this one really got me laughing and giggling. Not only was it hilarious (at least for me), it’s also oh-so Paris!

What am I talking about?

Well on the previous post I wrote about how Paris Hilton defended herself against the lawsuit filed against her for allegedly failing to fulfill her duties to promote the 2006 sorority film, Pledge This! What I failed to mention was how our dear heiress charmed the judge in the case’ hearing.

I know that would give you a smile too, not for anything else, but because we all know Paris Hilton can sure do that too well. As reported in some news wires, our dear heiress, “repeatedly fussed with her hair and makeup in a federal courtroom Friday, sported six-inch stiletto heels and a black dress and amused the judge with a little wave on the way to the witness stand.”

Chief U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno, the judge who is hearing the trial commented on this, saying, “I’ve never had a witness wave at me before.”

“This will be my best case forever,” he added. To which Paris replied, “You’re my best judge forever.”

Again, that was just soooo Paris!

Well at least our dear heiress seemed to have brought humor in court, right. Besides, I actually think this whole thing is just pointless. In all fairness to Paris, why the film’s investors would put all the blame in her for the flick’s failure when she isn’t the main star in the movie after all. It’s not as if Paris is the Angelina Jolie type to have that kind of audience pull.

Paris Hilton Arriving at Court for Trial

If there is one thing I would not doubt about Paris Hilton, it has to be that she wouldn’t miss a chance to promote something that has her name on it. – That’s one good reason to be seen in public and in the red carpets, right?

So when she headed to court in Miami yesterday (July 10) to defend herself for the lawsuit filed against her for allegedly failing to do her part to promote the 2006 flop, Pledge This!, I actually saw myself believing what Paris said.

“If I have my name attached to something, I want it to be as big as it can be,” our dear heiress testified during the hearing.

“It could have been a lot better if it was done more professionally. I wanted it to do as well as possible.”

This, however, was contested by the film’s investors – World Wide Entertainment – insisting that she (Paris) “rejected numerous TV talk shows and wouldn’t do several radio or magazine interviews to promote the movie despite a contract requiring her to do so.”

Paris responded on this saying that it’s not her fault not to be aware of her whereabouts, she said: “My people handle my schedule. I’m a brand. I’m a businesswoman. I have 13 different product lines. I’m always working.”

Hmmm… Paris Hilton could’ve had my sympathy here if only she had not given lame excuses of not being aware of her schedules. Like come on, she may have people to monitor that, but she’s still the boss. This is one pointless case actually.

Paris Hilton arrives at the Akvinta Presents A Night of Hollywood Domino Party at The House at Cannes during the 62nd International Cannes Film Festival on May 18 2009 in Cannes, France.

It looks like Paris Hilton will have to wait a little longer for the dismissal of the lawsuit filed against her by Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc. for allegedly not doing her part to promote the 2006 flop, Pledge This!

Paris was said to have been paid 1million dollars for her acting services and for “reasonable promotion and publicity” for the film, which featured her as the president of an exclusive sorority. However, since the bosses of the production company believe that the socialite and heiress failed to do her part, the latter is said to owe them a whooping $8.3million.

First filed in August 2008, US District Judge Federico Moreno has already refused to dismiss the breach of contract lawsuit and had our dear heiress to still stand in trial which was scheduled to begin on June 8.

Paris Hilton cries her Bentley has been egged after police quizzed her

paris car trouble

It looks like Paris Hilton has brought to trouble again due to her excessive partying. Our dear heiress has recently been quizzed by Los Angeles police after residents in a plush Hollywood Hills neighborhood complained of the noise coming from Paris’s home; reported to be actually her boyfriend’s property.

As she admitted throwing a house party Monday night, Paris Hilton however denied her involvement in the chaos it caused to the neighborhood. Reportedly, the neighbors “complained to police about the noise and the bash was broken up at 4 a.m. but the residents were shocked to discover their luxury cars had been keyed and covered in eggs when they awoke later Tuesday.”

On her defense, Paris claimed that her Bentley was also egged.

“This is ridiculous. We had nothing to do with this. My blue Bentley was egged and I even filed a victim’s report,” Paris said.

LAPD spokesperson later told E!, “Neighbors called Monday night because of the noise. A little later, there was another call from owners of cars that had been vandalized in that same vicinity, so officers ended up going out a second time.”

So who could be behind all these?

Paris Hilton suspected it could be the herd of papz who followed them from Koi, where she and Doug Reinhardt had dinner, and camped outside their house causing all the commotion.

Nicky lives directly across the street. David [Katzenberg, Nicky’s boyfriend] was woken up by the paparazzi as well,” Paris sharing about her suspects.

A source further strengthens the socialite’s hunch by testifying Paris and Doug to be already in bed by 3 a.m. and that there friends who played poker downstairs couldn’t have done all the egging as “There was no food in the refrigerator. There was no music because the sound system isn’t hooked up.”

So are we with Paris here to think the papz really did it?

So, she ain’t dumb blonde, huh?!

Paris Hilton has always been keen to change the people’s perception of her as a dumb blonde. However, answering questions from a pre-trial hearing in Miami – she is being sued for $8 million for failing to promote her 2006 comedy Pledge This! – our dear heiress does sound a little bit more of that category.

Here are some of her answers on the court:

On keeping a diary on business meetings: “I just press my name and Google it and see.”

On her calls from the producers: “With my phone I never know, because I lose it all the time. I probably get a new cellphone, like, every two weeks.” And when she was shown of her cellphone bill, Paris just said, “I’ve never seen a phone bill of mine in my life.”

On what her responsibilities are as the film’s executive producer: “I’m not sure what a producer does, but - I don’t know, help get cool people in the cast?”

On doing her part to promote the film: “Any chance I got, any red carpet, any press, if I was doing something for another product…I would just bring it up, ‘Oh, my new sorority film, it’s going to be sexy, it’s going to be really hot girls. Like, I really, you know, did my best.”

Woooo… does this sound like a 28-year-old?! Paris Hilton sure never cease to amaze me. She hasn’t her own phone bill, ever? What is she from Mars?! Why do I have this impression Paris ain’t really taking the trial seriously. Is she even serious with her answers?!

Judge Judy: Paris Is A Criminal

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Huliq.com reported on TV’s Judge Judy’s two-cents-worth in the Paris Hilton case. On Monday night’s Larry King Live, Judge Judy made the following quote on Paris:

“When a judge says to somebody, ‘I’m going to give you an opportunity to remain free - you committed a crime.’ In this case, she was driving while intoxicated and endangered a lot of people. ‘But I’m going to give you a chance to stay out of jail, even though I could put you in jail for what you did, but you have to abide by these rules.’ And she breaks the rules. “Paris Hilton is a criminal - a little criminal, but a criminal.?

So, there you have it! If Judge Judy says it, it must be so!
