Earlier this fall Samantha Ronson, the former best friend of Lindsey Lohan, filed a defamation lawsuit against the popular blogger Perez Hilton. Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavanderia, created the extremely successful celebrity gossip website www.perezhilton.com.
Ronson filed the lawsuit after Hilton posted a story on the website claiming that she planted drugs that were later found in Lohan's car after she crashed into a tree on May 26th. The story also claimed that she set up her friend to be photographed while under the influence of alcohol.
According to The Associated Press at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301150,00.html, Hilton's attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, said that his client made sure the information was "accurate and trustworthy" before he published his report. "He stands by his actions as being legal and proper and believes that the First Amendment protects him," Freedman said. Today a California judge dismissed the case and ordered Ronson to pay all of Hilton’s legal fees. This posting can be found at http://perezhilton.com/?p=8076#respond.
