Paris Hilton tries to clean up her image…

April 10th, 2007

Simple Life beauty and part-time fashion model Paris Hilton is on a mission to clean up her image. The failed singer’s lawyers have been busy shooting off cease-and-desist notices. According to Page Six, Hilton’s lawyer Gregory Gabriel emailed bloggers, Michael K of Dlisted.com, after Michael K posted a parody of “The Simple Life” poster on his site making fun of Hilton and her pal Nicole Richie.
Gabriel wrote to K: “This poster clearly implies Ms. Hilton has loathsome diseases and also implies Ms. Hilton uses Vicodin. The inferences . . . are false and de famatory.” Gabriel demanded the image be removed from the Web site.
Hilton was embarrassed earlier this year when contents of her long-forgotten storage locker were posted on the Web, which included a prescription in her name for Valtrex, the drug used to combat genital herpes, and Richie has admitted to abusing Vicodin.
Last week, Paris Hilton was slammed in Manhattan Mini Storage ads showing a Chihuahua who looks a lot like Tinkerbell with the slogan: “Your closet’s so shallow, it makes Paris look deep.”
Hilton’s lawyer, Howard Weitzman, fired off a “cease-and-desist” letter to the storage company.
