PARIS HILTON TO TAKE WEBSITE TO COURT

Socialite Paris Hilton may be making her way back to court, this time to sue a website.

The legal action will reportedly centre on a new website launched on Tuesday that is providing access to personal items belonging to the hotel empire heiress. The items include personal photos, diaries and contacts – including the phone numbers of Paris's friends.

Website creator Bardia Persa obtained the items after the socialite failed to make payments at a Los Angeles storage facility. The items were turned over to a broker and Ms Persa is said to have picked up the items at auction for just £1,500.

She is offering access to the items at ParisExposed.com for a subscription fee of $40 (£21) per month. Items on offer also include sex tapes, love letters from Nick Carter and taped telephone conversations.

But Paris is reportedly trying to shut the website down. "We certainly are going to explore all of our legal options about this matter," said her spokesperson Elliot Mintz.

The heiress is not the only celebrity to be exposed for failing to make payments at a storage facility. This month a New Jersey storage company auctioned off items belonging to Whitney Houston in an effort to recoup unpaid storage charges.
