Paris Settles with Diamond Heiress

Posted Aug 22nd 2007 12:35PM by TMZ Staff

ExclusiveTMZ has learned Paris Hilton won't go to war with diamond heiress/arch-enemy Zeta Graff.

Graff sued Paris, claiming she slandered her in the New York Post by planting a story that Zeta ripped a necklace off of Paris' body as she allegedly danced to Barry Manilow's "Copacabana." Cheesy enough.

Jury selection began today, but sources tell TMZ the case was settled late yesterday afternoon. We don't have details on whether moolah changed hands.

A source close to the case tells TMZ that "both Paris and Zeta are happy to move past this and reconcile their differences."

8. Here's the deal on the out of court settlement reached by both these twits: They have a contest to see which tight ass can squeeze a lump of coal into a diamond the fastest and if Paris wins she still hands over her diamond. Case closed.

9. what is this fascination with Paris Hilton??? She is skankier than the corner street whore and she looks like she has had every type of yeast infection there is. She is not pretty at all but I guess that doesn't matter as long as you are filthy rich, bleach blond, and lanky. Someone tell her to get that eye fixed PLEASE!!

10. The problem is that this nuisance suit should have been thrown out from day one instead of costing taxpayers money.

Judges are allowing ridiculous, nuisance lawsuits to go to court.

They need to start doing their job.

The civil court system is in a shambles.

12. Well TMZ you need to find out if the moolah changed hands, alos the diamond heiress
is ugly. I mean we really don't care but since you bought it up, we might as well know the'
full details! We are stil awaiting news on what in the world happened to the freak Le Baca! I hope it is under investigation, even though how long of an investigation it could
be is beyond me.

13. No surprise that Hilton settleed for $$$. She needs positive media attention the way people need air to breathe. Her psychological craving to be noticed represents a sense of self-worth based solely on how she needs others to see her -- as a glamorous “star” who lives a life she thinks others want to emulate.

Unfortunately, narcissists do not willingly create halfway houses, etc., unless someone holds their feet to the fire. Hilton’s few charitable works focus on events that give her quick photo ops and media buzz. No doubt, Paris and the expensive spin-doctors she hired to re-do her self-indulgent image will continue to test the waters, and the public. She has yet to live up to her “fox-hole” promise to donate serious time and money to worthy causes. Is this new image they’re pushing at us a smokescreen? More than likely, yes. (She left the 11th Hour premier as soon as she and Adrian walked through the press line for photos and press coverage – she never stayed to see the film.)

For now, despite the constant posing in front of greedy paparazzi, Paris has zero credibility with most. She still reigns as the #1 person people love to hate, with no one to blame but herself. The subsequent curiosity, disrespect and gossip only garner more media attention that ultimately fuels her marketing needs and ego. Sadly, Hilton has become a caricature of herself.

Sorry for the long post, folks.

15. Paris looks like an ostrach and needs to get a life. All she id known for is having a
sexually transmitted diseasetalking about people and bad driving habits. Her parents
take no responsibility in any of this. I guess the nanny raised her so it's her fault. She
is on the news every day her nichole,lindsey and I'm sick of these spoiled wrenches.
Send these tykes to Iraq and have them do some mine clearing with true americans.
