I have decided to pick for my company, Wal-Mart, a capital project of carrying a new line of junior clothing called "It's Hot" and I want Paris Hilton to endorse this line. Wal-mart is faltering in this arena and I thought a big name might help their clothing line. What could be some of the risks and costs involved with this type of celebrity endorsement?

Any feedback or considerations I would need to think about would get me in the right direction.
