Hilton sued over film publicity

Paris Hilton has been sued for failing to perform promotional duties for her 2006 movie Pledge This.

The Worldwide Entertainment Group filed the suit in Miami yesterday accusing Hilton of not providing the release with "reasonable promotion and publicity". The company, which paid $1 million for "Hilton's acting services", is seeking $75,000 in damages.

The comedy, which is number 15 on the Internet Movie Database's lowest-rated films list, starred Hilton as Victoria English, a sorority president who takes in seven new pledges to diversify her Gamma Gamma house.

Hilton's other film credits include The Hottie & The Nottie, House Of Wax and Bottoms Up.
