Hilton Sues Website

Paris Hilton is suing the website that has published naked photos of her, in an attempt to shut it down. Visitors to ParisExposed.Com are able to pay to view raunchy snaps, home videos, diary entries and pictures of the heiress' passport and personal belongings, obtained from a storage container. The items were sold at auction by the storage firm, who claimed its fees hadn't been paid for two years - but Hilton alleges a removal company was supposed to pay. The "shocked and surprised" 25-year-old claims the belongings were put into storage in 2005 after she and sister Nicky moved out of a house that had been burgled.

A court statement from Hilton, part of a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles, reads, "I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting me and my sisters' private personal belongings for commercial gain." Hilton is calling for the closure of the website on the grounds it invades her privacy and exposes her and Nicky to people who could "to steal my identity, or even worse, to harass or stalk me." She has filed copyright registrations for three writings among her belongings, and accuses the website of copyright infringement. The lawsuit alleges the items were bought by Nabil and Nabila Haniss for $2,775 and sold to Bardia Persa for $10 million.

Taylor Reveals First Husband Hilton Was a "Cruel" Drunk

Movie icon Elizabeth Taylor has exposed her first husband, Conrad Hilton Jr., as a "cruel" drunk in a new magazine interview. The actress was a teenager when she exchanged vows with the hotel heir in 1950 and was so smitten with the handsome socialite she studied Catholicism to be his wife. But she admits she never took the union seriously enough and divorced Hilton, who is the uncle of Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton's father, nine months later - after discovering he had a drinking problem.

Revealing all in a candid new expose with Interview editor Ingrid Sischy, the actress recalls, "When I got a divorce... I never told the court why, but he was cruel. When he drank it all came out, and I hadn't seen that before because he was on the wagon the eight months we were engaged. I didn't have a clue. But I thought, 'This isn't why God put me on earth.'" Taylor, who wed another seven times, had an inkling her first marriage wouldn't work out as she stood before the archbishop on her big day. She adds, "When I had to swear in front of the archbishop to be a good wife and all that stuff, I had my fingers crossed behind my back because I didn't know if I could be a good wife."

Has Hilton Damaged Her Eyelids?

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton reportedly visited a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles earlier this week in a bid to fix her 'drooping' left eyelid. The 25-year-old was allegedly left with muscle damage in her left eye after a botched eyelid lift operation six years ago, and the damage has reportedly been worsened by her fondness for wearing blue-tinted contact lenses over her naturally brown eyes.

A source tells PageSix.com, "(Her eyes) have been drying out lately. She is ignoring doctors' orders to not wear her tinted contacts." However, Hilton's representative Elliot Mintz denies the rumors, insisting, "To the best of my knowledge, Paris has never had any kind of cosmetic surgery and has not mentioned any medical procedures having to do with her eyes."

Pop star Britney Spears and her new pal Paris Hilton are sharing the number one spot on Mr. Blackwell's 47th annual Worst Dressed Women List. The designer unveiled his selection yesterday, branding the pair "two peas in an over-exposed pod" and "style-free and fashion deprived."

Scoring the third spot was 20-year-old Lindsay Lohan, who Blackwell said went "from adorable to deplorable." Also targeted was 57-year-old Meryl Streep, who played a fashion editor in The Devil Wears Prada. Blackwell's selections for best-dressed include Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie and Dame Helen Mirren.

Hilton "Fired" From Club Paris

Paris Hilton will no longer be associated with two nightclubs called Club Paris, because the socialite's failure to attend scheduled appearances has angered the venues' owner. Fred Khalilian refuses to change the name of his flagship club in Orlando, Florida or that of its sister club in nearby Jacksonville. He has now "fired" Hilton, who even arrived six hours late for the Orlando club's opening two years ago, and wants the two Club Paris' to refer to the French capital instead.

Khalilian says, "She's created a circus for herself. It's all about, how has she screwed up now?" Hilton's spokesman Elliot Mintz, who claims neither Hilton nor himself have been contacted by Khalilian, says, "I'm certainly disappointed to learn of Fred's unfortunate comments. We shall address his statements at the appropriate time."
