November 9, 2009 - Paris Hilton is threatening legal action towards a New Zealand Company after she alleges they are using an illegal image of her for an advertisement. Placed as a billboard-sized advertisement, somewhere in Australia, Paris is being seen high above from a busy street.

Reported in the ABC News Australia edition on November 8, 2009, Hilton is “hot” over her image bing used on a billboard with the word “vacant” written across it. The billboard is suppose to be of Paris Hilton partying to get people to notice the location and rent the space. Paris Hilton must have eyes everywhere because from Los Angeles, California, she found out about this advertisement in Australia, with the alleged illegal use of her image, and is sending in the attorneys.

The company who owns the billboard, Media5, claims they were having some fun putting her image up there, but Hilton's attorney has promised to be calling tomorrow for the removal. According to a statement by Media5, they don't see the harm in the billboard, but they will take it down, if needed.
