Paris Hilton sued for 'stealing' random woman's style

Do you watch gossip TV or red carpet events, screaming at the television because all those fancy-shmancy celebrity types are stealing your fashion? Or do you have an ex-best "friend" who's suddenly started showing up at all your favorite vintage shops, ripping off your look?

You're not alone. Nicolle O'Neill, a narcissistic psycho California-based fashionista, thinks Paris Hilton has stolen her personal style -- and is subsequently suing the heiress for some ridiculous sum of money. According to O'Neill, Hilton infringed upon her fashion "patens" (sic) -- like the ingenious idea of publicly exposing her underwear, for instance -- and has caused severe "emotional distress" in the process.

Finally! I've known Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jake Gyllenhaal, and the rest of the snooty Hollywood types have been stealing my personal fashion for years. Thanks to Ms. O'Neill's courageous legislation, maybe the rest of us can finally take a stand against this obvious injustice.

Or not.

Check out our Paris Hilton gallery: has she been stealing from you too?

JESUS! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME? It's JUST clothes! SO WHAT. YOU CAN'T SUE SOMEBODY FOR 'STEALING YOUR STYLE' THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!!! I WEAR SIMILAR CLOTHES TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO SUE THEM. THE LADY IS A PSYCHO. IT EVEN SAYS IT IN THE ARTICLE. SHE'S PROBABLY A HOMELESS WOMAN WHO NEEDS SOME CASH AND PARIS'S FORTUNE IS AN EASY TARGET. I HOPE THAT WOMAN GETS SOME MENTAL TREATMENT.

This has to literally be the STUPIDEST thing i've ever heard of. Why the hell would you sue someone over clothes?!? People these days are so stupid... just to get money and make Paris's life a little worse. I feel bad for her!

Oh snap!
I love the sarcasm in this piece, and how Paris Hilton, for once, was actually the hero. Surprise, surprise.
This was simply humourous.

Seriously tho?!
These days, everyone will try anything to make a good buck. What happened to working hard at a career? Writing? Art?
The fact that people are brainstorming about how to be the next "millionaire without trying" is so f-ing absurd!
Stop being lazy and boring.
