PARIS HILTON SUES PARISEXPOSED.COM

Paris Hilton has filed a federal lawsuit against Parisexposed.com, which launched Jan. 23. The site allowed visitors to view Hilton's bank records, personal diaries and home videos for a $30.97 fee. The site claimed the items were auctioned off after Hilton failed to pay the rent on a Los Angeles-area storage facility.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Hilton, 25, says the items went into the 6,000-sq.-ft. storage unit two years ago when she and her sister, Nicky, 23, moved out of a house that had been burglarized. Hilton claims a moving company was to pay the storage fees.

"I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting my and my sisters' (sic) private personal belongings for commercial gain," Hilton says in a statement accompanying the lawsuit, according to the Associated Press.

The lawsuit alleges that defendants Nabil and Nabila Haniss of Culver City, Calif., paid $2,775 for Hilton's items and then sold them for $10 million to entrepreneur Bardia Persa, creator of Parisexposed.com.
