Paris is on trial

Paris Hilton arriving to court in Miami
Paris Hilton is set to testify in Miami today. She's being sued by a group of Miami investors who feel she didn't do enough to promote her 2006 classic Pledge This!. For those of you keeping score at home, Pledge This! is currently the 30th worst movie of all time, as voted on by IMDB users. It's even worse than Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956) and The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II (1985). From the Associated Press:
The lawsuit seeks more than $8 million from Hilton and her entertainment firm. The film was an abject failure at the box office, making about $2.9 million worldwide. Hilton contends she did everything she could to plug the movie.

The trial begins Thursday, and Hilton is expected to testify Friday. She's been in Dubai filming her "My New BFF" reality show. The lawsuit was filed by a court-appointed receiver for a defunct Miami entertainment company that invested in the movie.
This may be the first time in Paris' life that she's ever been accused of not self-promoting enough. Of course, the reality is that the plaintiffs probably don't have much of a case. Getting Paris to promote the film by releasing a new sex tape or blowing every guy that bought a ticket was never agreed upon in writing. It was just expected.
