Paris sues to have website shut down
Paris Hilton took legal action yesterday to shut down parisexposed.com. The website hosts a collection of the socialite's private photos, videos, letters, bank statements, medical records and even her passport. In a federal lawsuit, Hilton says she put the items in a 6,000-sq-ft storage unit two years ago when she and her sister were moving house, and claims the moving company should have been paying the storage fees. "I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting my and my sisters' private personal belongings for commercial gain," the heiress said in a statement, adding that she feared the items could be used "to steal my identity, or even worse, to harass or stalk me." Hilton's rep said the Simple Life star hopes the site will be shut down and "all of these items returned to her."
