MIAMI — Paris Hilton fussed with her hair and makeup in a federal courtroom Friday, sported 6-inch stiletto heels and a black dress and amused the judge with a wave on the way to the witness stand.
Once on the stand, though, Hilton was businesslike when it came to defending herself against an $8.3 million lawsuit’s claim that she didn’t do her part to promote the 2006 box-office bomb “Pledge This!”
She insisted she plugged it for everything she was worth. “If I have my name attached to something, I want it to be as big as it can be,” the 28-year-old heiress testified.
Hilton is accused by an investor’s lawsuit of turning her back on the film, which made just $2.9 million. The lawsuit claims she violated her contract by rejecting or ignoring requests by producers to appear on talk shows and do radio and magazine interviews.
