Porn Valley-According to The Smoking Gun, Rick Salomon, Paris Hilton’s former boyfriend, has offered to settle a lawsuit he’s brought against the Hilton family–if only Paris’s father, Rick Hilton, would just agree to allow Salomon to distribute the sex tape on a “pay-per-view basis.”
In a January 15 Los Angeles Superior Court filing, Hilton lawyer Heather McCloskey branded the Salomon settlement offer “beneath contempt,” adding that the indecent proposal was sent to Rick Hilton “through a third party,” who is not identified in a defense motion filed earlier this month.

Last November, Salomon sued the Hiltons for $10 million, claiming that he had been slandered by family members who accused him of improper (and possibly criminal) conduct. Salomon also has vehemently denied the Hilton contention that he orchestrated the tape’s sale to an Internet porn outfit that subsequently chose not to distribute Hilton’s bravura performance.
