Is Paris Hilton looking to sue her lawyer? The Scoop recently reported that the partying heiress was “furious” with Richard Hutton and was looking into legal action against him. “Your source got the story right, but the wrong lawyer,” an insider tells The Scoop. “She adores Richard Hutton and thinks he’s fabulous.”

Howard Weitzman, the other attorney who also worked on Hilton’s DUI case, insists all is well between the two. “This is the first I’ve heard of it,” he said when asked if Hilton was unhappy with him. “I continue to represent her in litigation matters.”

But the source tells the Scoop that it won't be for long. “She’s already signed papers in jail — although they haven’t been filed yet — for the substitution of attorney," says the source, "taking Howard off the work he’s doing for her.”
