Paris Hilton will not have to pay movie investors nearly $10 million in a dispute over the promotion of her ill-fated 2006 film Pledge This! , a Florida judge has ruled.

However, the 28-year-old socialite may have to cough up some of the $1 million salary she received for her performance in the box office bomb.

The film’s investors sued for $8.3 million dollars damages – roughly what they spent to produce the film. The lawsuit claimed Hilton did not live up to her contract by failing to promote the movie’s DVD release.

At a trial in July, Hilton said she did all she could to promote the movie. The heiress claimed the producers were inexperienced and made last-minute demands for appearances that conflicted with her schedule.

The judge agreed, writing in his decision: “The court finds compelling evidence in the record that Pledge This! lost money because the film’s inexperienced producers hastily cobbled together a wholly inadequate marketing plan.”

“They sent scattershot requests to their principal star in the hopes that she could find time to promote a sinking ship.”
