The Beverly Hills salon owner who swiped credit card information from A-listers like Jennifer Aniston and Cher will learn her fate this week.

Maria Hashemipour already plead guilty to fraud in January and the US Attorney's Office wants her to be thrown in jail for 30 months. The jail sentence would also come with two years of supervised release and paying 511,312.26 in restitution.

Sounds like she's getting off relatively easy for racking up over $800,000 in fraudulent charges in five years.

Bad news for Paris Hilton. The socialite is being sued by Hairtech for not hawking their faux tresses.

The lawsuit claims Paris was paid $3.5 million in 2007 to promote Hairtech International's Dream Catcher hair extensions, but was "seen in magazines and on television not wearing [their] hair extensions and was in fact wearing competitors' hair extension products."

Hairtech goes on to say that Hilton breached her contract when she went to jail in June of 2007 because her contract included an implied term that she would "obey the law".

Paris also missed an important launch party for the extensions while she was serving time, which resulted in $6.6 million in lost revenue.

The company is seeking a whopping $35 million.

Ouch.
