In what can only be described as the most boring, asinine legal case ever, courts are siding with Paris Hilton in a court case between her and Hallmark cards, who used her likeness and stupid fucking catchphrase "That's Hot"* on one of their cards. Usually, this shit is protected as parody, but then again, Paris herself is something of a walking parody, and you just can't parody a parody.Hilton sued the company in 2007 after it began selling without her permission birthday cards of a cartoon of a waitress serving a plate of food to a patron. A photo of Hilton’s face was pasted on the cartoon’s body.
Hilton alleges that the card ripped off her appearance as a waitress in an episode of her reality television show “The Simple Life.” (Source)
