Paris Hilton is suing the greeting card manufacturer Hallmark for $500,000 dollars for using her photo and her trademark phrase “That's Hot!” on one of its cards.

In the lawsuit filed at US District Court in Los Angeles on Thursday, Hilton, 26, accuses Hallmark of misappropriating her image and invading her privacy.

The greeting card shows Hilton's face superimposed on a cartoon body on what is described as her "first day as a waitress." She is serving food and saying, “Don’t touch that, it’s hot.”

“What’s hot?” her customer asks.

“That’s hot,” she replies.

According to the Associated Press, the heiress is calling for an injunction barring Hallmark from using her name and likeness.

I thought parodies were protected under law.

"That's hot" - yes, it's true, she didn't "trademark" that. However, using her image on that kind of media (tee-shirts, greeting cards, etc.) does require licensing from her reps and management agencies, in which case she has every right to sue.

Jerry, you are a sick pig and I have notified the magazine to bar your obviously psychotic self. You sound like a immoral redneck with no brains. Any person that writes that sicko crap has no brain cells.

Anoyn: You are no better, what kind of sick people feel compelled to write such filth about anyone, SICK- you need help. Does not matter if you do not care for a celebrity, the words you write show a sick mind.

Good luck in prison, both of you. Its where you are headed.

Invading her privacy??? This celebutante has a sex tape and has been stripped searched before going to jail. How much privacy does she have left? I hope the judge drops the case. And Hallmark should give her some money just so she will shut up!!!

5:23 PM MISSAPPLEPIE Says:

SHE IS A REJECT......I THOUGHT SHE LOVED HAVING HER NAME AND FACE ON THINGS. WHAT I DIDNT KNOW IS THAT SHE IS THAT HARD UP FOR MONEY!!!!

5:22 PM Wicked Says:
