Paris Sues Hallmark Cards

Published: September 7, 2007 - 11:45 AM

Thesmokinggun.com is reporting that Paris Hilton has filed a federal lawsuit over a $2.49 Hallmark greeting card that uses a photo of the heiress and her trademarked phrase "That's Hot."

In a complaint filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Hilton alleges that Hallmark has, among other transgressions, misappropriated her image and invaded her privacy with the card, a copy of which you'll find below. According to the lawsuit, the greeting card, which purports to show Hilton's "first day as a waitress," was first distributed earlier this year and remains on sale. Hilton is seeking at least $500,000 in actual damages and a permanent injunction barring Hallmark from further exploitation of her name and likeness

Tracey: Is that your headline? If so, drop the apostrophe. JJ (above) called that correctly.

Jim:

As she is a public figure, and the card tends toward the type (bad) satire that the Supreme Court has ruled constitutionally protected she is simply wasting her time.
