Paris Adds Deposition to Datebook
Paris Hilton has been given the order to talk about everything she knows.
Regarding a car accident that her cousin was involved in two years ago, that is.
The heiress is set to give a deposition Jan. 24 in the personal injury lawsuit brought against her and Brooke Ashley Brinson, who was driving Hilton's Mercedes-Benz when she caused a four-car chain reaction traffic accident on Los Angeles' 10 Freeway back in May 2004.
Plaintiffs Ivan Alvarez and Monica Delgado, who have accused Brinson of failing to slow down in a timely manner, were rear-ended by the car that she ran into. Hilton wasn't cruising with her cousin at the time.
Delgado, a 32-year-old nurse, claimed in the suit, filed May 30 in Pomona Superior Court, that she suffered back pain and incurred $1,300 in medical bills.
At the time the family's attorney, Mauro Fiore Jr., said that his clients wanted $250,000 apiece from Brinson and Hilton to compensate for injuries, property damage and negligence. However, a judge ruled Oct. 19 that damages in the case did not exceed $25,000, upon which the case was transferred to West Covina Superior Court, which deals with smaller claims.
Hilton, whose Simple Life plans were put on hold Thursday when on-again pal Nicole Richie checked into a facility to undergo weight-related diagnostic tests, is also expected to make a command performance Dec. 5, when she's scheduled to be arraigned on two misdemeanor DUI charges. If a deal is reached before then, sentencing can proceed without Hilton having to show her face in court.
She did agree earlier this week to lend her face to Indian fashion designer Anand Jon's latest clothing line, signing on to star in a series of ads to be shot in India next year. The deal assured that she'll be entering the country, even though her "Stars Are Blind" video, slapped with an "adult" rating and banned from area TV stations, won't see the light of day.
