Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton was still just a glimmer of a celebrity when her ex-boyfriend Rick Soloman released their tape, “One Night in Paris.” The sex tape was released just as Paris and Nicole Richie‘s reality show “The Simple Life” was being broadcast. Paris ended up suing the company releasing the tape for about $30 million in damages. Who needs reality tv paychecks when there are lawsuits to be had? [CNN]
