Paris Hilton sex tape update; Solomon threatens to sue everyone
Paris Hilton Sex Tape Hits the Net. "Despite threats of legal action by her parents, links to bootleg copies of the vixen's steamy sex tape sprouted like fungus all over the fertile ground of the World Wide Web Tuesday." But not everything labeled "Paris Hilton sex tape" is legit: "a search for 'Paris Hilton Sex Tape' on the file-sharing site KaZaa leads to clips of everything from large naked women doing provocative dances to a monkey drinking his own urine."
Next legal tango
in Paris tape case. Rush & Molloy report that Rick Solomon is threatening legal action against both Marvad and Hilton.
Martin Singer, Salomon's high-powered Hollywood attorney, tells us that he may "bring action against Paris for her defamatory statements."
Last week, Hilton rep Siri Garber claimed in print that Salomon took advantage of Hilton when she was incapacitated. Garber was quoted as saying that, on the video, Hilton "can't even get up. ... She is the victim here."
Anyone who's seen the tape knows this is bogus. Solomon also claims he had nothing to do with the tape's release (contrary to earlier reports that he sold it) and may take legal action against the porn company that announced plans to market it.
This week, Singer says he'll seek a restraining order to bar Marvad Corp., the Seattle Internet porn merchant, from peddling the video on Sexbrat.com.
"The video was stolen from Rick Salomon's home and sold to these distributors," says Singer. "They know Mr. Salomon is the owner of the copyright."
As of Wednesday noon, Marvad's site still lists the Paris Hilton video as "coming soon."
On a side note: Solomon or Salomon? The New York Daily News is the only place using the latter spelling.
