Not concerning itself with what a daunting task that was, the film’s distributor, Florida-based Worldwide Entertainment Group, sued the heiress Tuesday for breach of contract, charging that she didn’t come through after being paid $1 million to star in and promote the 2006 comedy.
Oh, she starred in it alright, playing sorority queen Victoria English. But, per the lawsuit filed today in U.S. District Court in Miami, Hilton—who was also listed as an executive producer—owes $75,000 in damages for failing to provide “reasonable promotion and publicity” for the movie.
The straight-to-DVD Pledge This! came out in December 2006, with Hilton’s mug plastered across the cover, indicating that she was a major part of the film. And, if memory serves, the presidential candidate and star of the upcoming Repo! The Genetic Opera did not go to jail until June 2007, so that wasn’t what was keeping her busy at the time.
A rep for Hilton didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Paris, just because you regret your commitments, it doesn’t mean you can just ignore them away.

As you all know, John McCain has already started hitting below the belt, calling Barack Obama “the world’s biggest celebrity”.
McCain even went as far as comparing Barack to Paris Hilton.
Well… she’s pissed.
UPDATE (James):
For those unable to watch the video, ABC News’ Tahman Bradley has the rundown:
Sitting on a lawn chair in a bathing suit, Ms. Hilton says to camera, “Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too. Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot.”
She continues, “But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means that I’m running for president.”
And so, since Hilton has interpreted the comparison to Sen. Obama, D-Ill., as meaning that she too is qualified to be leader of the free world, Hilton, jokingly, lays out her campaign platform.
The video has some more tough words for the “wrinkly white-haired” Arizona Senator: “He’s the oldest celebrity it the world, like super old. Old enough to remember when dancing was a sin and beer was served in a bucket,” a narrator says, with a picture of Larry King and then Yoda to drive home the age point.
In the unkindest cut of all, McCain’s spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, “Sounds like Paris is taking the ‘All of the Above’ energy approach that John McCain has advocated — both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama.”
Naturally, all of this has resulted in some enlightening discussion on the issues that matter most to Americans.
According to the Federal Election Commission website, the Hilton’s contributed the dough last March. Initially, Rick put up all the $$$ but in April it was split between him and his wife.
Now it’s being reported that McCain is taking a shots at Obama, using Paris as his ditzy weapon.
Personally, I don’t see the big deal…We ALL take shots at Paris, she’s an easy target.

Shanna Moakler and Kim Kardashian are in some kind of feud and it all came to a “head” at a bbq in Malibu this weekend.
Everything went down as soon as Kardashian showed up, Shanna told The Dirty:
“I was at this bbq and I saw what I thought was a donkey posing on the stairs but much to my surprise, it was Kim Kardashian. No, wait, it was a donkey! She’s soooo fucking fat! She’s 5′2″ and she’s like 140. She was wearing a sarong to cover her huge big ass! I like a nice ass but hers is not a nice ass!”
Shanna said she tried to be adult about things, but she couldn’t — so she threw her drink on Kim.
She said,
“Then, Reggie comes up and says ‘YO! Be careful what you say!’ And I was like ‘Your girls a whore!’ and he said it again - ‘Be careful what you say.’ and I just told him again - “Your girl’s a whore!’”
Shanna is apparently holding a grudge at Kim, over some e-mails sent to Travis Barker. Shanna issued a statement to TMZ:
“Quite some time ago I received emails from her mobile device of VERY inappropriate conduct between herself and my husband at the time, that were NOT at all ‘friendly’ and very much ‘romantically’ inclined. I spoke to Kim Kardashian, asking her to please stay away from my family as we are trying to heal after a very trying time, she agreed and but failed to do so.
If I had known Ms. Kardashian was going to be at the BBQ in Malibu I wouldn’t have gone. One day women will realize when you destroy families there will be angry and hurt ex-wives to deal with. I still have these emails and I won’t release them as not to embarrass my ex and my family any further.”
Kim also issued her own statement saying that she modeled for Travis Barker’s clothing over a year ago, but has never had a romantic relationship with him.
Mischa Barton was photographed topless and smoking a daisy on the cover of Nylon magazine — dead sexy.
The actress was sentenced to three years probation and to complete a three-month course in alcohol education after pleading no contest to drink driving charges in April.
Recalling the incident in the interview, Mischa admits she was shocked at her arrest, because it grouped her with other young Hollywood stars she would prefer not to be associated with.
Mischa has often attempted to disassociate herself from socialites Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan, who have also been arrested for DUI in recent years.
She said: ‘That was a low point for me. I never, ever would have thought I would be arrested.
‘I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with. That was the biggest bummer for me – I didn’t leave my house. I was too embarrassed.
‘They made such a big deal out of it with these other young actresses, that, for a little bit, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.’
She added: ‘It was a stupid thing to do. But I’ve done a lot to pay back for what I did.’
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find Mischa the least bit attractive. It’s totally not surprising that she’s wearing jeans.

Egotastic says, “I wonder whether people will care about Ashlee Simpson at all once she’s back to her normal body (if she’s ever back to her normal body), and carrying around a bunch of kids, and her gay husband. Judging by her album sales, though, they probably won’t.”
