I see Paris Hilton learned ALOT from her jail time...sues Hallmark over card

[TZ]

Hilton's been carded—and she's not pleased about it.

The 26-year-old heiress has filed a lawsuit against Hallmark, alleging that the company used her image without permission and invaded her privacy by including her mug and signature phrase, "That's hot," on a greeting card. (View the complaint.)

The card in question purports to show "Paris' first day as a waitress," and has Hilton's face superimposed on a cartoon body, as she hands a plate to a customer and warns, "Don't touch that, it's hot." The customer asks, "What's hot?" to which Hilton-as-waitress replies, "That's hot."

(Look for it in the "not funny at all" card section of your local store.)

According to Hilton's complaint, the card went on sale earlier this year and can still be purchased for the bargain price of $2.49.

It is one of three recent Hallmark designs featuring Hilton. Another shows a cartoon of the former Simple Life star behind bars and clutching a small dog, with copy reading, "The really, really, really, really simple life." On the inside, the card wishes its recipient a "really, really, really, really happy birthday."

Hilton is seeking at least $500,000 in damages and a permanent injunction barring Hallmark from any further use of her name and image.

Normally I couldn't care less about what this idiot does but the hypocrisy of this strikes me. First of all she doesn't have enough of her own money? She has to add another frivolous lawsuit over something trivial that most public figures have done to them at one time or another? And what happened to she "wants to make a difference" she was talking about doing once she served out her jail time? I guess that means making a difference in how she is "marketed". God knows she doesn't DELIBERATELY put herself on public dispaly..And people wonder why there is so much venom aimed at this spoiled brat.:grr:
