In a $10 million lawsuit filed in 2005, Graff claims that Hilton spread \"vicious lies\" about her that were printed in the New York Post. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paris' shrink claims that Hilton is \"emotionally distraught and traumatized\" from the May 4 hearing where she was sentenced to 45 days in jail for breaking probation in her DUI bust, and asked a judge to allow her sufficient time to recover. &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/paris-at-her-best/16765/\"&gt;&lt;img vspace=\"4\" hspace=\"4\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"Paris Hilton\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2007/05/14/0515_paris_hilton_gallery.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In the document, the head-doc goes on to explain that Hilton \"Cannot effectively respond to examination as a witness or provide any significant input into her defense.\" In fact, Sophy claims that forcing Paris to participate on May 21 would \"exacerbate her current mental condition.\" The horror!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, the judge has postponed the trial date until August 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calls to Hilton's rep were not immediately returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;Related&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;h4&gt;Links&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/0514_paris_zeta_motion.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;The Declaration&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
