Paris Hilton’s record label is being sued for half a million bucks by the company that owns the copyright to British group UB40’s song “Kingston Town.” They claim her debut album’s first single, “Stars are Blind,” is a blatant rip off of the 1989 hit. If you listen to the two songs, UB40 clearly has a case against Hilton. No wonder her first single was so catchy - it was a cover!

And in news that’s kind of inevitable considering the low sales of Paris Hilton’s breathy first album, her label, Warner Bros, has dropped her. A spokesperson said “We are not expecting any new Paris Hilton material in the foreseeable future.”

Paris put on a brave face at last night’s MTV Movie Awards, where she was the brunt of jokes.

In the days leading up to her imprisonment, Paris continued her spiritual pottery-painting quest for good PR. She was also seen out shopping with Australian Model Derrick Hayes. Her brief relationship with Desperate Housewives actor Josh Henderson is supposedly over. Henderson was said to have warned Paris not to drive before she was pulled over a second time for driving with a suspended license. Maybe she wants more yes-men in her life.

Paris does not have a cellmate in prison at this point. A British paper is reporting that her intended roommate was obsessed with her, and could quote passages out of her book verbatim. Paris’ spurned roommate is also said to own a copy of her sex tape and to hoard clippings of the heiress from magazines. It’s probably not true, but I wish that it was and that Paris was stuck with the crazed fan for 23 days.
