The company, which produces spa and beauty magazines, claimed that Hilton ripped off their "sparkly eye and fingernail logo" from its Nailpro magazine.

After reviewing the $150,000 suit, the blogger changed the logo to animated cartoon renderings of himself, according to Radar Online. Copyright fights aren't new for Hilton. Last year, paparazzi agency X17 sued him for $7.5 million for "stealing" their photos. He smacked back, asserting his "fair use" rights.
