Holly Valance issued an angry press release after several news reports claimed she had played a role in ending fellow Australian singer Deltra Goodrem’s romance with tennis star Mark Philippoussis after introducing Mark to Paris Hilton. “I do not really know Paris Hilton socially as we only worked together for a total of 7 days on set along with the other 25 principal actors in the movie,” Valance explained, referring to her ‘Pledge This’ co-star. “To claim that I helped organize a meeting between Mark and Paris is an absolute outrage. I am embarrassed and very hurt that the media in a 24 hour period have been so vicious towards me without even checking the story with my management company or publicist to establish where it came from and if there was any truth to it.” Holly added: “It is an absolute disgrace and there is not an ounce of truth in this story.”
