Perez Hilton’s Right To Free Speech

PEREZ Hilton Wins in Lohan Friend Suit, go the headlines.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is entitled to nearly $85,000 to pay his legal costs in a defamation lawsuit brought by a friend of Lindsay Lohan.

“Perez Hilton will take steps to make sure every dime is collected,” says his lawyer, Bryan J. Freedman. “This should make one careful before filing a lawsuit against him.”

Samantha Ronson, who sued Hilton last year, was a passenger in Lohan’s car when it crashed into a tree in Beverly Hills in May. She sued Hilton for repeating on his Web site a report from another site stating that she planted cocaine that was found in Lohan’s car.

The judge removed Hilton from the lawsuit last November after the blogger’s attorneys argued he was protected by free speech rights.
