Paris Hilton’s extension lawsuit gets even hairier

Paris Hilton is still tangled in her fight with a hair extensions company — firm bosses have amended their lawsuit to accuse the heiress of costing them a staggering $70 million.

Executives at Hairtech International Inc. originally sued Hilton for $35 million in August over claims she reneged on her endorsement deal to promote their Dream Catchers range in 2007 by wearing a competitor’s extensions.

They also claimed she failed to attend a 2007 launch party after she was jailed for driving on a suspended license while on probation for drunk driving.

But now Hairtech heads are stepping up their battle with Hilton by doubling the sum they maintain she cost them in profits, according to a revised legal filing obtained by TMZ.com.

Earlier last month, a judge dismissed a number of Hairtech bosses’ complaints, throwing out an allegation of fraud. Lawyers were also told to remove any reference to Hilton wearing a rival’s products.
