Paramount Exec — I’m Suing My Carpet Guy for Walking All Over Me

One of Hollywood’s biggest music execs just wanted new carpeting in his home … but he allegedly ended up getting the rug pulled out from underneath him.

Randy Spendlove — who oversees all music for Paramount and won a Grammy for the “Chicago” soundtrack — says he paid $8,200 to a man in January 2009 to install flooring in his home, but instead the guy ran off with the money … so now he’s suing.

According to the lawsuit, soon after Mark Jerold Sperling cashed the check, he informed Spendlove he would be, well, spending “the money for other things” — and if the music exec wanted his dough back, he should go “ask Bush for the money.” (At the time, Dubya’s presidency had just ended).

TMZ spoke with a source close to Sperling who tells us his company has been hit hard by the recession, and although he wanted to pay back those whom he owed money to … he just didn’t have the funds.

Spendlove is seeking his $8,200 back, plus attorney fees and costs … not to mention 10 percent interest.

Maybe Sperling should ask Obama for the money?
