Dear world, you can keep on turning now that
Paris Hilton and Hallmark have
settled a lawsuit over the use of the catchphrase "that's hot."
Hilton
sued Kansas City's greeting card maker for portraying her as a waitress in a diner handing a patron a plate and using her trademark "that's hot" line. It's all pretty ridiculous given that the card wasn't funny and Hilton is far from the first person to use the phrase, which she tried to claim in 2007.
Hallmark
argued the card was in the "public interest," which is laughable since Hilton hasn't been of public interest since before the suit was filed in 2007.
The terms of the settlement are unknown but Hilton had wanted $500,000. The only word out of Hallmark is the settlement was a "mutually acceptable conclusion," which hopefully means Hallmark won't be producing any more Hilton cards.
