LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Reality TV star Paris Hilton has sued a Panama-based Internet company for $30 million, claiming that it illegally distributed a now-infamous tape of her having sex with an ex-boyfriend.

Hilton, who describes herself in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit as a model and actress, sued Kahatani Ltd. for violation of privacy, illegal business practices and infliction of emotional distress.

The 22-year-old socialite -- best known as star of the Fox reality TV show "The Simple Life" -- seeks $15 million in actual damages and another $15 million in punitive damages.

Hilton, whose grandfather founded the Hilton hotel chain, asserts in the lawsuit that the grainy, black-and-white videotape depicts her and then-boyfriend Rick Solomon in "intimate relations" and was not meant for others to see.

"Hilton intended the videotape only for personal use and never intended or consented that it be shown to anyone else or distributed to the public," the lawsuit says.

Solomon, a video entrepreneur, in November sued Hilton and her family, claiming that they slandered him by suggesting that he took advantage her.

Please discuss now...

....so when all is said and done all she really did was sell the tape for thirty million?

gotcha.


Fuck, i wish someone would pay $ to watch me fuck somebody.

Ill even put some peanut butter on my balls.

I hope she takes the money and starts a porno company.
Or creates her own line of crotchless panties.
Or fucks Nick Carter in the backseat of their Bimmer and videotapes that and distributes it free with the August issue of Skank.

Or maybe she'll just stand and stare blankly.

It's her trademark.

The 22-year-old socialite

Nice way of saying she does absolutely nothing.

Words cannot describe how much i loathe this vaccuous little coke-whore.

I've always hated her, but i used to have a 'love' part too, in some twisted sort of fascination with her exploits and self.

But now I just hate her. She embodies absolutely everything i despise about the glutoness extreme of wealth abused in frivolty in western culture (mostly in the US). And the fact that she's achieved some sort of iconic demi-god celebrity for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON other then embodying and acting upon every possible thing most people perpetuate to despise sickens me more.

GAH.

I think i'm a little bitter tonight.

Funny because I used to hate her but now I kinda feel that she's pretty much got it all and she could care less what anyone thinks.

She's got lots of power and she's not as dumb as we think.

Okay, I still hate her.

she spreads joy and laughter !

Oh, I am sure she does that in the tape...

 

[Boss Hog]

for $30 mil the little skank could have made a better quality porn.

Fuck her, flip her a quarter for her efforts and tell her to stick to trash TV.

 

[Lil'Timmy]

Does this mean I can sue FOX and CTV for distributing such inane, moronic, and utterly trashy TV like the Simple Life?

ditto....

just cuz she's rich and spoiled doesn't give anyone the right to distribute these videos of her.

Put yourself in her situation. If you and your b/f made a video, broke up and then it somehow ended up on the internet, I'm sure you'd be out for revenge.

I sure as hell would.

Yeah, if I put myself in her spoiled-ass situation, maybe I wouldn't make the tape in the first place?!...

Bah don't peg this one on America. The super-rich all over Europe, The Middle East, Asia and even Africa have been acting the was Paris does for thousands of years. Look at the whole concept of royalty? How many little princes and princesses through the annals of time have done fuck all but throw parties, race elephants, buy castles, and shit in solid gold toilets? The French Renaissance was ripe with Paris Hilton's. So many that the rest of the country got fed up and killed them all.

Paris is merely the modern version of a very old style.
