So the revolutionary creators of "National Lampoon's Pledge This!" are now suing Paris Hilton for their megaflop of a film, according to ABC News. Hilton was paid $1 million for what I'm sure was back-breaking work (though I somehow missed the opportunity to see her sensational performance).However, that payment was not simply for her performance, but for her role of "executive producer" as well, a position Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc. claims she did not fulfill. This title serves as a guise for the responsibility of general promotion and publicity, a task most likely accomplished simply by showing up to a few interviews promoting the movie and throwing around a few "It's hot"'s.
They should be paying her for keeping her mouth shut, not opening it. Any promotional statements made by Hilton would have undoubtedly convinced even more moviegoers to poke fun at the film, rather than actually pay to view it. I mean, she doesn't exactly have the best track record: "The Hottie and the Nottie," "House of Wax," "Bottoms Up." According to ABC News, the movie production company is demanding $75,000 in damages in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
