Perez Hilton, real name Mario Lavandeira, is getting sued by DJ Samantha Ronson for defamation of character.   Perez Hilton wrote on his celebrity blog site back in July that Samantha had set up Lindsay Lohan by planting cocaine in her Mercedes after Lohan’s infamous car crash.  The $20 million libel lawsuit was filed last July, and Judge Elihu M. Berle, who is presiding over the case, has cleared to question Perez Hilton.

Samantha Ronson denies any claims that she touched or handled Lindsay’s cocaine.  She also denies ever using the drug.  Perez Hilton’s  attorney assures the court that his client checked out all the information making sure it was “accurate and trustworthy” before he published it.  Even if Hilton’s report was wrong, her attorney must prove that Hilton acted intentionally to harm Ronson.

I think this is a little ridiculous!  Samantha Ronson is awesome, and I like Perez Hilton…..so I can’t really pick sides here.  This whole thing should just go away.  Perez was just doing his job, and if Samantha Ronson wants people to know she isn’t a druggie…well I think people should know that by now! She has proven her point.
