Paris Hilton continued on with her fun in Seoul, getting frisky for the cameraman at JJ Mahoney’s Nightclub in the Hyatt hotel on Saturday (November 10).
The hotel heiress has been in South Korea to announce a contract extension with Fila sportswear, but is also making headlines in the States for her lawsuit against Hallmark card company.
In September, Hilton sued the brand for “damages of no less than $100,000 for each of her claims in the suit and Hallmark’s profits on the card (which retailed for $2.49).”
Her lawsuit claimed that “a photograph of Ms. Hilton’s face is superimposed over a cartoon of a waitress serving food to a patron, along with the dialogue: ‘Don’t touch that, it’s hot. What’s hot? That’s Hot.’ The suit says Hilton owns the trademark “That’s hot,” which was registered in February 2007.”
Hallmark, meanwhile, has defended the card, saying, “there is no likelihood that Hallmark’s use of the words ‘that’s hot’ in a parody greeting card would confuse consumers into believing that the greeting card is sponsored by or affiliated with Hilton.”
Most recently, Hallmark filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on Friday, as they claim, “Hilton has become a household name, based in large part on her efforts to draw attention to herself. Having done so, she has subjected herself to public scrutiny and the parodist’s pen. The First Amendment does not allow her to respond by welcoming the fawning and flattering, but silencing the critical and comical.”
No word yet on a decision, so be sure to check back with Gossip Girls for further updates.
In the meantime, enjoy the pictures of Paris at JJ Mahoney’s (November 10).
