You know things are going to get ugly in Paris Hilton’s lawsuit against KC-based Hallmark Cards when one of the greeting card company’s recent court filings begins with this paragraph:
“Paris Whitney Hilton (‘Hilton’) is a privileged, jet-setting heiress to the Hilton family fortune, the center-of-attention ‘celebutante’ at the most lavish parties and exclusive events, and a consummate self-promoter who, by her own admission, considers working ‘manual, low-paying jobs’ and serving the public to be her ‘private nightmare.’”
Hilton’s suit is over a card that portrays her as a waitress giving a warning to a patron by pointing to his plate and saying her trademark line, “That’s hot.” Hilton claims in the lawsuit that it’s a trademark phrase. Hallmark claims in its recent court filing that it has a first amendment right to publish the card, which is, in the company’s own words, is in the “public interest.”

We've been watching Paris Hilton's BFF. Where do they come across these people? They are from another planet!
I wish Paris Hilton would come to Kansas City and kick Adele Hall in her old wrinkled hootchie.
paris hilton's trademark is 'thats hot' not that's hot. so i think hallmark should be fine.
