London:
US socialite Paris Hilton is being sued for $35 million for wearing someone else's hair after she reportedly failed to promote a range of hair extensions.
The hotel heiress had signed up to promote a range of hair extensions as part of a marketing campaign in 2007 for Hairtech International, Contactmusic reported.
The company reportedly paid her USD 3.5 million to be the face of their Dream Catchers range of clip-in locks.
But bosses were furious when she allegedly appeared in "magazines and on television" wearing hair extensions made by a rival competitor.
The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court states Hairtech International is seeking $ 35 million in damages for Hilton's breach of contract, 10 times what they paid her for the job.
The company also claims the 29-year-old star missed a launch party for the hair extension line because she was in jail.
Paris served 23 days in prison in 2007 after she was caught driving twice on a suspended license while on probation for reckless driving.
Hairtech International say there was an "implied term" in her contract asking her to "obey the law".
