Hilton, Winfrey in racist court case
Paris Hilton and Oprah Winfrey are being called to testify in a court case alleging that Canada is a racist country.

Jermon Almon, chief executive of MurderCap Records, claims that the country is prejudiced against black American rap artists and is taking his battle to the court room.

Almon told TMZ: "The white celebrities have been directed to appear, in order to show the hypocritical nature of Canadian policy towards rappers.

"Some of the white celebrities have far worse records than these rappers but are still allowed to enter Canada with the red carpet rolled out."

The executive claims that US rappers are being unfairly delayed at the Canadian border and that police are unfairly blaming black stars for rising crime levels in Toronto and Vancouver.

Snoop Dogg, Mick Jagger, Jenna Jameson, Spike Lee, 50 Cent and Condoleeza Rice are just a few of the other celebrities that Almon wishes to appear at the court case.
