Paris Hilton sues Hallmark over “That’s Hot!” card

Paris HiltonWashington: Paris Hilton has sued Hallmark Cards for using her image and her catch-phrase “That’s Hot!” on a greeting card.

In the lawsuit, filed on Sep 6 in Los Angeles, the socialite claims that Hallmark invaded her privacy, reports E! Online.

The suit claimed Hallmark created a greeting card that said “Paris’ First Day as a Waitress” and features a picture of Hilton’s face on a cartoon waitress serving food that says: “Don’t touch that, it’s hot. What’s hot? That’s hot.”

According to Hilton’s complaint, the card went on sale earlier this year and can still be purchased for the give-away price of 2.49 dollars. The former jailbird said she was moved to sue the card company because Hallmark “failed to properly obtain (her) approval.”
