Paris Hilton's photo touts 'vacant' billboards

Paris

Paris Hilton is upset enough about her image being used to advertise vacant billboard space in New Zealand that she's considering legal action. Her lawyers say Wellington-based billboard company Media5 had no permission to use the photo on the unsold board. Media5 is semi-apologetic, noting that they chose Paris because "she has a proven ability to laugh at herself." So much for that. If it helps them any, we're certainly laughing.
