Paris Hilton drops sex video lawsuit

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Socialite Paris Hilton has asked a Los Angeles judge to dismiss her invasion of privacy lawsuit against an Internet company that distributed a sex video of her, but she has reserved the right to refile the suit, her lawyer says.

The $30 million (16 million pound) lawsuit against Panama City-based Kahatani was dismissed on Friday as part of Hilton's "litigation strategy," her lawyer Heather McCloskey said on Tuesday.

"At this time no decision has been made as to whether to pursue (the lawsuit) at a later date," McCloskey said.

The notorious 45-minute video made available on the Internet by Kahatani before Red Light District Video, a suburban Los Angeles porn production company, snapped up distribution rights from Hilton's former boyfriend, Rick Salomon, in April.

The company had planned to release the film under the title "One Night In Paris."

Best known for starring on the Fox television reality hit "Simple Life," Hilton claimed in the lawsuit that the night-vision videotape had been "intended only for personal use."

Salomon and Hilton, whose grandfather founded the Hilton hotel chain, made the videotape in May 2001.

Paris has been paid $x amount in profits for so far and is taking a half share in profits in future. What a way to turn around. I just think it's funny.

Paris was paid $400,000.00 (I think in AUS$) for dropping the lawsuit. She will take 50% of the profits from future sales of the video. But the icing on the cake ...... she will give some of the profits to charity

Charity must the name of one of her friends

Seriously. If you were a charity would you take the money? I dunno ....

my brother and I both think that Paris was the first one to put the video out there.....I mean when it first came out, it was right before the 1st simple life...and then it came out on Video right before the 2nd simple life...so I think she does it so that people will know her name and also watch the show...that's just how we feel

That would make sense. I have seen some of the tape (only three minutes of it) and honestly this girl wants to be a star so bad it's funny, she pushes him (Rick) out of the way all the time so she is the main focus of the camera, she is always looking straight into the camera and trying to act it up. It wouldn't surprise me if she did put the Video out there to help boost her name. She will do anything to be famous.

your right on it, schmiggens

I mean come on everyone knows about Paris now because of that tape...I never knew her before my brother told me about the tape....and she always puts it out right before her show starts so that people will watch the show...

What's next? An extended DVD edition? Wonder what the bonus footage will include?

I think it is so dumb that "he" put the tape out there on a DVD...I mean it is so dumb....and then out of nowhere she makes sure when she goes to get it...that someone for US WEEKLY, takes a picture of her with it...

You've got to hand it to her, she certainly knows to go about self-promotion. If I was running for President, I would have her on my PR team. Or maybe not ....

I don't think I would want her on my PR team but she does know how to get her name out there....I mean almost everyone knows her because of that dumb tape....

I had a thought about your theory that she was always going to release the tape and I remmebered that in the tape Ricks says to her "Turn around and face the camera so everyone can see how pretty you are" and "Let everyone see what I see".

Who's "everyone" if they weren't planning to sell it? Were they going to show it to their friends? I don't think so. I think they planned to sell it all along and her suing Rick was just another way to get publicity for it.

see I think they were going to put it out there all along...or maybe they were going to show it to their friends but that's kinda sick if they were....

PARIS IN FOUL-MOUTHED OUTBURST ON LIVE TV

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton turned the air blue while recording a series of TV interviews Wednesday -- after becoming furious over constant questions about her infamous sex tape.

The socialite, 23, threatened to walk out on the shows, arranged to promote her new jewelry line, after becoming infuriated when reporters switched the focus onto her colorful private life.

Hilton was left red-faced when a tape featuring her having sex with ex-lover Rick Salomon was leaked on the Internet earlier this year.

And when another interviewer quizzed her over the incident, Paris really let rip.

She shouted, "People keep asking me about the sex tape. I'm really getting [bleeped] off.

"It's really [bleeped] up, because we're live on TV and I was ready to walk off the set just now. It's really rude!

"If one more person asks me I'm gonna get up and walk away."

She can't blame anyone but herself. Of course people will always ask her about it. If she didn't want a reaction she shouldn't have made the tape, shouldn't have let Rick have it and shouldn't have allowed him to sell it. It's her own stupid fault.

Paris just needs to get over it and stop making videos with guys

ANOTHER HILTON SEX TAPE TO HIT THE MARKET

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is facing another round of public humiliation -- her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon plans to release another DVD of the pair having sex.

Salomon, ex-husband of actress Shannen Doherty, is reportedly preparing to release a two-part DVD of their sex antics shot several years ago.

People magazine reports that the footage has been culled from 13 hours of tape and will feature a never-before-seen color video of the two having sex.

But unlike the first sex DVD, which initially rose to popularity on the Internet, Hilton will not receive any money from the profits.

Hilton is also very clear on where she stands with Salomon.

She remarks, "Ewww! I would not talk to him if you paid me a billion dollars. He's disgusting!

13 hours of footage? She can't think he's that disgusting.

ok Paris is just losing it. Does she not have anything better to do with her time but make sex tapes and I also wanna know what sick people are watching these tapes. Also....she is behind putting them out there...

HILTON IN LESBIAN SEX TAPE?

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has been struck with another sex tape scandal -- this time featuring the sexy blonde frolicking with a woman.

The explicit video was reportedly filmed on the reality TV star's 22nd birthday on February 15 last year -- after her high-profile home recording with former boyfriend Rick Salomon.

The saucy tape allegedly shows Hilton and a nude model, known only as Nicole, using sex toys on each other after the pair decided to leave Hilton's party at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas to get intimate in her room, reports the New York Post newspaper.

It's also claimed "Scary Movie 3" actor and former porn star Simon Rex joined them in the hotel suite to film the girls' exploits.

The 36-minute movie was reportedly filmed as a birthday present from Nicole to Hilton.

This is the third? fourth? Paris Hilton sex tape. Can this girl not learn from her mistakes? I wonder what her father says everytime one of these comes out? I would be so embarrassed I would never want to see anyone egain. I don't know how she can handle it.

you know what for a girl who says she doesn't like having sex much....she seems to always be making tapes. You know she needs to stop making tapes or stop putting them out there for all to see

Vid puts Paris in a pickle

WHAT could be more embarrassing than your most intimate home video being watched by millions around the world?

PARIS HILTON and her dippy chums gate-crashed a party in Malibu on Saturday night — and walked in on guests gawping at a large TV screen.

Yes, you’ve guessed it — everyone was ogling the hotel heiress’s bare backside as she did the dirty deed on the video with her ex Rick Salomon.

^ HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
AHHAHA

CLASSIC!!!!!!

What kind of party has porn playing on a giant screen? Where was she? The playboy mansion?

I always wonder what the etiquette is when your a singer and your night clubbing and your song comes on. Are you supposed to stop dancing? Are you allowed to dance to your own song? Can you sing-a-long? Can you dnce the moves from the video clip? I can't imagine what the ettiquette for walking in on people watching your sex movie is

Well, when it's Paris Hilton porn, people tend to make an exception it's like a party favour... and a good topic for discussion. "Oh you haven't seem Paris' butt? Oh you simply must! Wait a minute... as a matter of fact..." *runs off to put it onto the big screen tv* "hey, everybody! Everybody! Come see Hilton **** some ****** with a ******* big ****. She's a total **** ****** **** ****"

Yes, many a great Hilton watching party I've attended

yea did u hear about her own club opening on new years and she was late. Like 4 hours late..getting there just before midnight. Her sister was like "I just talked to Paris and she is going to be here before midnight." I don't know if she was trying to make a joke or what....I don't like Paris much but it is funny to hear about all her mess ups.

Playboy wants Paris to pose so bad but as my brother says "Who hasn't seen Paris nude?"

PARIS' EX SPENDS SEX TAPE MONEY

The man behind Paris Hilton's sex DVD and video has further cashed in on his night of passion with the hotel heiress -- by buying a Hollywood Hills home.

Hilton's former boyfriend Rick Salomon has poured the cash he has made from the sale of the sex tape into a new $3.4 million home just down the street from pal Tobey Maguire.

HILTON'S MOBILE PHONE ENTRIES PROMPT QUESTIONS

Paris Hilton's mobile phone mishap has uncovered private notes leading to speculation over the hotel heiress' involvement in the release of her infamous sex tape.

Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Anna Kournikova and Ashley Olsen are just some of more than 500 names and phone numbers splashed all over the Internet after the 24-year-old socialite's Blackberry phone was hacked. Rocker Fred Durst's representative says the incident has been "A big pain in the [bleep]."

But while the stars were trying to ward off thousands of unwanted phone calls,TV show "Celebrity Justice" discovered two intriguing personal notes stored in Hilton's phone.

A note, dated last November, simply reads, "Ian Eisenburg at Mavard." Mavard is the Internet porn company responsible for releasing clips of the home video featuring Hilton and her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon.

Another note, dated last October, reads, "Check from Rick," prompting speculation it's from Salomon.

When the clips were first released in November 2003, Hilton, Marvad and Salomon began a war of lawsuits. Hilton was outraged over the Internet footage and Salomon denied he released them. Then, one by one, the lawsuits were quietly dropped.

Salomon went on to make a fortune by releasing the entire sex tape, and Hilton has never acknowledged getting any cut of the profits.

I thought that was so funny about her phone

PIRATING PARIS

AS big a problem as pirating and bootlegging are for the Hollywood studios, they're an even worse curse on the adult-film industry. And "1 Night in Paris," the biggest-selling X-rated video in history, has been hit hard.

Yesterday, Greg Piccionelli, the lawyer for World Wide Red Light District — which holds the copyright on the sex tape starring Paris Hilton and Rick Salomon — sued in L.A. federal court alleging Mordechai Kattan, owner of Woodland Hills One Hour Photo, made and sold counterfeit DVDs. "We're about to file a number of other lawsuits," Piccionelli told us, "and we are offering rewards to people who identify copyright infringers."

I am sick of this sex tape...it's been like a year now

Paris Hilton's Sex Tape New for the Greeks

http://tinypic.com/9k5ssg.jpg

The Greek magazine Very Sorry (how appropriate) has exposed Hilton’s raunchy past. Can you believe Greece is only starting to find out about the Paris Hilton Sex Tape?

Paris Latsis’s mother is extremely upset by it and has even told her son, “You are making us a laughing stock.”

- Hollywood Rag

They may a laughing stock, but I can bet every American now knows who the Latsis's are, when they didn't know a thing about them a year ago. Dating a Hilton sister certainly gets your name in the news

Man he and his family should of known what they were getting into when he started dating paris
