Hilton's catchphrases include "that's hot," "loves it," and "sliving." [276] Each of the three is registered as a trademark for a variety of things, including clothes, technological gadgets, and alcoholic drinks. [276] On September 6, 2007, Hilton filed an injunction against Hallmark Cards Inc. in U.S. District Court, named Hilton v. Hallmark Cards, for the unauthorized use of her image and tagline "That's hot" on a greeting card. The card is labeled "Paris's First Day as a Waitress" and features a cartoon of Hilton's face presenting a dish of food with a conversation bubble reading "Don't touch it, it's hot" (which had a registered trademark on February 13, 2007). Hilton's attorney, Brent Blakely, said that the infringement damages will be calculated on the basis of the income generated by the greeting cards. According to Julie O'Dell, Hallmark used the card as parody, which is permissible under fair use legislation. [277] The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals examined the matter and "denied Hallmark's move to dismiss." Hilton and Hallmark Cards Inc. eventually reached an out-of-court settlement. [278]

The most shocking revelation is that Hilton's parents sent her to the Provo Canyon School, a âintensive, psychiatric residential treatment institution for adolescentsâ in Utah, where she claims she spent 11 months undergoing various forms of physical and psychological abuse until she turned 18. Provo was Kathy and Richard Hilton's last ditch attempt to rein in their wayward daughter, who often skipped school and sneaked out to nightclubs after the family's 1996 transfer from Los Angeles to New York.
