Paris and Nicky Hilton
Sarah Howard and Cameron Richardson
Dori Cooperman and Casey Johnson
Devon Aoki
Daphne Guinness
Tory Burch
Paris Hilton and Brooke Davenport
They might have been on Sunset Boulevard for Nicolas Berggruen’s annual party at the Chateau Marmont but it might as well have been a New York society reunion of glamorous heiresses with the decade’s original “It” girl that connected them all.
Paris Hilton, steered clear of the diamond heiress Zeta Graff at the swank Hollywood affair, as they had been fought bitterly in court years ago over a necklace and over Paris Latsis, a Greek shipping heir and an ex-boyfriend for both.
Paris and her sister Nicky Hilton spent enough time at the party to catch up with their childhood best friend Casey Johnson. Nicky’s ex-husband Todd Meister came to the event with his new girlfriend Jamie Tisch.
Casey and Dori Cooperman would later end their evenings at Villa, the chic hotspot, where they met with one of Dori’s friends from rehab, Lindsay Lohan.
Paris also has a history with area socialite Sarah Howard. A younger Paris, with Nicky and Casey, allegedly hurled cocktails at Sarah at the nightclub Deluxe for speaking to another ex-boyfriend of hers, the model Jason Shaw.
British fashion icon Daphne Guinness is the aunt of Stavros Niarchos III, Paris’s ever-constant boyfriend over the years. Model and Benihana heiress Devon Aoki also attended the party; it was Paris’s sex tape with Devon’s ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon that catapulted New York’s big-name society girl into mainstream acclaim.

I think that Paris is one of those girls that look stunning in some pictures and not so much in others. She looks so great here. Love her dress and shoes. Nicky is my favorite Hilton (because she seems like such a genuinely sweet girl) but Paris definitely has the most spark in that family.
Casey, Devon, and Daphne are just so petite. They look like dolls! Daphne is a goddess and I think her style is amazing. I once read that almost everything she wears to formal events is couture.
Oh, and I am not afraid to admit that I like Paris. She’s cute and all the other New York socialites we see nowadays on PAP aim to be Paris one day anyway.
paris’ makeup is so well done. the lip colour is great and the short hair looks really chic on her. love devon aoki as she’s very gorgeous! daphne’s shoes are rockin in my book.
Tory and Daphne look like they got lost and ended up at the wrong party. Aside from Paris’ lipstick, a shade she couldn’t have picked all by her grownup self, the rest of this party is a fashion disaster and a social disgrace. Bad-check writing Dori “hobnobbing” with rehab friends? Casey showing up anywhere in public after that Vanity Fair piece? Won’t even get started on the Hilton’s.
I still remember when Paris, Nicky, and Casey were “the” girls. They had the famous last names, the boy drama, and of course the endless bank accounts. Every nightclub promoter and gossip columnist wanted a piece of them. So young, so pretty, and always scandalous.
paris hilton is a disgrace.
what is the expression?…… “white trash”?…..it seems to define her perfectly.
What happened to Daphne Guinness? She used to be so pretty when she was younger.
Paris’s red lipstick makes all the others look incredibly washed out. I can’t believe I am actually complimenting her!
Of all the events to cover…
This is sort of a “smut extravaganza,” James. You know who about whom I am referring. Not the usual suspects. There are some lovelies here. Others? Bleeech. The venue? Putrid.
I’m on board with kk re: Casey Johnson. I am in true disbelief that she’d show her frighteningly overhauled face in public after the VF “I’m going to show Auntie Libet who’s the hot boss now” embarrassment.
Not to mention the moronic interviews published wherein her true stated heart’s desire was to adopt a female Cambodian child and buy her a leopard bikini. To piss off Auntie Libet. For stealing her boyfriend.
Well hooray for Casey. She has a Kazakh child now. What a mouth breather.
I was really excited to see a new post here, and then I realized it centered around L.A. & Paris Hilton. Disappointing. Tory Burch looks cute though.
Is there a single girl in this circle that Paris has not had bad history with? Goodness gracious.
Good Grief! The drama!
I will say that Casey Johnson has really creamy, smooth skin - look at her legs! LOOK AT HER LEGS!
“Smut extravaganza” is a great way to describe this. Makes you realize that we are all really nit-picking when critical of the subjects of some of the other posts.
Well said #13 - I agree.
Yuck; too much trashy information for so early in the day.
James, let’s class up the joint please!
Kimberly. You said it. White trash with money…the worst kind!
Paris looks a 1000xs better without the ratty hair extensions.
Nikki H acutally looks good here. most of the time she has this busted look about her
i love paris and nicky <3
Not a fan but Paris’s hair and lipstick are awesome!
Love Nikki, saw her at MAGIC promoting her line and you wouldn’t have guessed that she wasn’t just another rep. for the line. She was showing outfits and catalogs etc. She is tall and TINY in person.
Dori=disaster
LOL! You are fooling yourself if you don’t think that every Tinsley, Byrdie, and Fabiola (I love them of course) that is featured on this website doesn’t want to position herself in Paris’s size 11 shoes.
Paris is far from white trash, whatever that means. She grew up in the Waldorf and went to Dwight. Her grandfather is worth 2 billion dollars… though he’s giving it almost all away to charity.
She took advantage of her looks and situations in life instead of hiding or being embarrassed by them. Which socialite doesn’t?
I like Paris. I was a few years older than her when she was just another socialite girl on Page Six that all of you would have been worshipping because, let’s be honest, she was young, rich, and pretty.
She was such entertainment when she lived in NYC. All the drama that James so diligently wrote out involving her happened within a frame of one to two years. He was probably just scratching at it, too, as there was so much.
“Viva la France!” as we used to call out to her at parties…
About Casey… that is truly a sad situation about her and Libet. It’s actually pretty disgusting and shocking when your aunt steals your boyfriend. Can you imagine how you would feel if the Post puts it on their cover (which never happens with single Page Six items)? My heart broke for her that morning.
With the whole leopard bikini deal, she was just being humorous. But her mom did make her custom leopard skin heels at the age of 2… true story.
who is brooke davenport??? can anyone tell me? simply curious…
Paris, Nicky, and Sarah look the best. Paris looks super cute… the hair and makeup are just perfect. She seems almost other-worldly here compared to the others. Nicky has a charming style and I love Sarah’s shoes and purse.
Interesting choice of pictures and event to cover today…not much to say except that I really like Brook’s purse. And did Tory forget to hem her skirt?
Truly revoltingly, Paris Hilton made a sex tape. She’s been publicly disgraced to an extent that her grandfather has essentially disinherited her. She may be young, attractive, raised in all the right institutions and circles, and “entertaining” (whatever that means). But she is just, in the end, an attention whore. That’s what people might mean when they call her “white trash.” If so, I agree.
I suppose what socialites might want - if indeed they do want what she has - is the ability to exploit herself totally and shamelessly. Talk about setting the bar low for yourself.
At least Tinsley Mortimer has had the grace to go out and sell herself without sex scandals, tawdry bar fights, and completely vapid chatter. James, you love her so: why don’t you continue to hold her up as your PAP role model and consign Hilton to the dust bin of notoriety?
By the way, those of you who praise Hilton really ought not be engaging in the “who *really* has/is Old Money and who is nouveau riche” skirmishes I’ve seen here. If you’re going to praise someone who has stooped this low, you have no right to talk about old money as though it’s something you admire. The distinction is meaningless if a scion like Hilton can drag a fine family name into the mud.
Nicky is alluring in that first picture with Paris, who looks frankly like an angel from the heavens with the pose, hair, and face. Daphne is divine. She is probably my favorite socialite of all time because her clothes are always of the best taste. She can afford to do that… she is an aristocratic Guinness and she married a billionheir Niarchos. Wonder if Paris, too, will one day become the new Mrs Niarchos…?
#22 - It doesn’t matter where you grow up, what you have, where you went to school, or who your daddy is. There are still some people who believe that when one acts like Paris Hilton has done in the past, one could be considered white trash.
You may not agree with that assessment, but I seriously doubt many young women who show up on this site and others would trade places with her. Why would they want to do so?
Paris is looking great. Sarah Howard is hot too!
Fifth Avenue - do you honestly believe what you write?
do you really believe that living in the waldorf and going to dwight precludes someone from behaving in a manner that equates them to trash?
its a sad world when there are people that truly believe money and fame (any kind of fame) excuses any and all behaviour.
Fifth Avenue.. I don’t agree with you here. If Tinsley, Byrdie, and Fabiola wanted to be like Paris there would surely be photos of them with no panties on by now. It would make them more famous.
OMG could you imagine.
I think Paris looks great. I am not a Casey Johnson fan. Does she serve any purpose other than being rich? This is an earnest question–I don’t know about her involvement in charities, etc.
Leopard skin heels. Obviously not an ASPCA donor.
Tory Burch does look a bit out of place there.
Oh, trust me, if those girls had the chance, they would. They are as fame seeking as Paris, if not more, except they are a little more discreet. Paris is the society girl that finally made it into the mainstream. She could have easily been another Park Avenue Peerage girl that everyone fawned over but she wanted something bigger than being on the arm of a random designer at the Costume Institute gala. Can you blame her?
I am not saying that having money, private schooling, and social connections excuses everything… but we are all on “the” website that glorifies all of those things.
DORI= BIG TIME SKANK.
all this stuff about paris, casey, etc…… at least they are not wannabes or fakes. They own up to who they are.
Please, like Dayssi olarte is acceptable.
x canastel waitress from queens, who is arrogant and vicious. Pretending to be “to the manner born” …lol! behind close doors, a vile crude tongue and 0 manners. now thats TRASH!
Id prefer a paris to her anyday.
Fifth Avenue - so what does Paris “want” and how is she going about getting it?
And doesn’t everyone have a chance to make a sex videotape and put it out in the public nowadays if they want to?
Devon Aoki is gorg!
Fifth Avenue - is making it into mainstream media an accomplishment….no matter what the route?
is it something you would want, and if so, on any terms?….are you a student of machiavelli?
I don’t know…I never really get the feeling in interviews that Paris has whatever it that she wants.
~I’m just kinda sick of Paris, and she’s so… trashy. She looks cute here, even though she’s not really pretty. I’m not a hater, I just don’t agree with the “vapid, blonde, surgery-enhanced, slut” routine.
~On the other hand, Nicky Hilton has found her niche.. she looks great, and really fresh faced.
~Casey Johnson did the shoes justice this time. She really is cute; I never saw it before.
~Devon Aoki is the most adorable thing! Really, really cute. She kind of gave me inspiration by being the shortest “supermodel”, but I like to eat :). Anyways, good to see her, and good post overall, James.
Run Tory! Back to New York and away from such trash! James what were you thinking with this nonsense?
Fifth Ave is saying that it is for the people featured on this site. Not for him or herself, unless of course he/she is one of them.
But the thing I wonder is, isn’t it much harder and a longer path to establish credibility in the Park Ave circuit then to just become famous for being famous. look at what some of the other girls went through. And you know, like Heidi Montag or someone like that would never get on this site.
I don’t think the PAP crowd wants mass media notoreity at all. That’s too easy.
Paris and Amy Fisher “Long Island Lolita” are sex tape sistahs - I think Paris comes by it naturally her maternal grandmother was less than stellar individual - ugh!!!
Paris looks great, I HATE to say it, but it is sad when you think of it that she got stuck with boring brown eyes when her sister has such vibrant ones naturally. Such upkeep to make sure everyone sees her with blue eyes. Nevertheless, she looks good here.
I love Tory to death, but in this pic she looks somewhat washed out. Not her normal Bobbi Brown cosmetic pallette I fear.
Another few examples of “just because it’s fashionable doesn’t mean you should wear it”.
Hmm…….Dwight is not exactly a powerhouse NY school.
Dwight is embarassing…who are we kidding here??
And what’s wrong with brown eyes, Chimosa? What a silly thing to say.
In the second pic of Paris you can see she’s still playing around with fake hair. There’s a funny looking mismatched and dead looking hank of hair hanging down to give her the “posh effect.” the girl just won’t quit!! She has trash running thru her veins!
Everyone has the chance to show their body parts on camera. It’s just that not everyone has the body or personality to have the masses want to watch them. Let’s face it, Paris is hot. She is still a fantasy to many men. Paris, Nicky, and Casey would rather shop, dress sexy, drink, and party with cute boys than anything else.
Don’t mess with Dwight. It’s a fine school. When I was younger it had the reputation of being where you went if you were rich, white, and not as academically inclined as someone at Chapin or Andover. Of course, times have changed now and Dwight is as cut-throat as the other prep schools in the city.
#50 Fifth Avenue -
“the reputation of being where you went if you were rich, white, and not as academically inclined as someone at Chapin or Andover”
ok then. certainly wouldnt want to mess with a place with a reputation like that!!
i see we are of two very different worlds, fifth…and i’ll just agree to disagree on the whole paris thing.
No kidding, this 5th Ave character has some high standards! Impressive! Meanwhile, Chapin and ANDOVER? Who puts those in the same category? You are aware Andover isn’t in the city, aren’t you? And if you were looking for an example of academic rigor, you meant Brearley, not Chapin! Get it right…ooh, I forget, you went to Dwight so I shouldn’t expect too much!
Anyway, I don’t know any guys who think Paris is hot! I mean, my brothers are in her demographic and they find her vile. Most of their friends think she is funny looking and slutty and likely disease-riddled at that. Sex-ay!
#50 Let’s cut the cr*p - you met someone on subway one day they went to Dwight and you’re impressed - blech!! Yes Paris is fantasy similar to any porn star -
I’m sorry “big bird” you aren’t possibly suggesting that Andover isn’t academically rigorous….are you????? It may not be as “social” as St Paul’s but academically it certainly eclipses the day schools in the city.
I realize the blonde isn’t real either, but I think she would be more striking with dark eyes. Blonde/blue is a little boring. She’s a pretty girl, though. Nicki is not, and she really needs to lay off the bronzing powder.
5th avenue, you’re ridiculous. And anyone who’s seen that tape knows, it’s not hot.
Paris = overexposed!!! I am so sick and tired of hearing about her asinine behaviour and shallow life. She’s not a celebrity and she’s certainly not a social (perhaps in pedigree but not in grace and manners)
Nicky wore that same outfit two posts ago. Could care less about her and her sister.
Sarah Howard is pretty and looks like she raided the closet of Pretty Woman (before she met Richard Gere ;). Seriously, those gloves? Pantyhose w/open toe platforms…enough said…
Casey Johnson is just plain scary. So much money and yet nothing could be done
Tory Burch is impeccable as always. Love her laid back look. She’s really made it her own.
Rich, white, and dumb is not much of an endorsement. I missed the news that it had improved. “So honey, let’s apply to Chapin, Spence, Brearley, and Dwight,” is not a sentence you will probably hear too often.
Daphne is looking so old. She was once so very stylish and stunning. Perhaps a few extra pounds gained would do the trick.
It is not fair to compare Paris and Tinsley. Paris has a billionaire granddaddy, grew up in Beverly Hills and NYC, and most of her society friends are “big-name,” as James said, heiresses just like her. Tinsley, on the other hand, grew up in Richmond, went to boarding school, played tennis, and had friends with names like Binkie, Merrill, and Schuyler. Tinsley is basically the country club WASP to Paris’ spoiled rich girl routine.
gag-Paris has brown eyes but wears blue contacts.
Fifth Avenue makes some very valid points about Paris and her friends. Just as someone who grew up in Manhattan and is now raising her children here, reputations about schools aren’t the same. When I was younger, they used to say Dwight stood for Dumb White Idiots Getting High Together. Everything is so different now! All of the schools are so competitive now for admission… it is really unbelievable. There are just so many talented children and so few spots. Even getting my baby into my alma mater (which happens to be Brearley, and believe me… it really wasn’t as “smart” a school as people consider it) in the future will be difficult!
There used to be a semi-frequent poster on the other site named “House Painter’s Daughter” who no doubt named herself after Paris & Nicky’s darling, social-climbing mummy Kathy (Avanzino) Hilton, daughter of Larry Avanzino, housepainter extraordinaire of Whittier, CA.
Kathy fancied herself quite the Pasadena princess. And yet somehow the truth seems to always catch up with the phony.
Funny that.
#29 (James River) - you are sooo right. Thank you.
What the h**ll is Tori Burch doing with this crowd? Although I realize her business takes her to LA, please make her go back to NYC!
Fifth Avenue: you have your head somewhere else than where it belongs if you think that Paris Hilton is a woman that can be compared to Tins, Fabiola, et. al. There is NO amount of money to excuse her behavior and I don’t believe that she was actually “educated” at Dwight. She can barely string a sentence together! Paris is a walking, talking example of the horrible behavior that has become acceptable in the tabloid world. You must subscribe to all those rags to know that much…
P.S. Casey’s clodhoppers still look horrible.
And to #59 - you’re absolutely right. It’s like comparing apples to oranges and Paris is the rotten apple.
sorry but these photos seem like west coast trash. stick to the new york women where most seem like friends and behave. Stay on the west coast olivia.
Let us not forget, Paris is also a convicted felon. As she would probably say, “classy!” And please, for the love of God, stop calling Hilton money old! They are NOT old money, their great-grandfather made all that 20th century money! And they’re not future money, either, which I find hysterical. Nicky might need to marry Todd again, after all! And no wonder Paris won’t get her claws out of Stavros! “Marry good, girls, marry good (sic)”.
Paris looks very old in the make-up she chose for the event. If I didn’t know she was in her 20’s I would think she was a 40 something divorce’. That is saying something since many of the 40 something divorce’s looked better than she did.
Ewwwww. I have this picture in my head of Paris Hilton, many years from now, re-creating the final scene from “Sunset Boulevard”. (You know, the “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up” scene). Except it’s a porn movie and she’s scarier looking. And no one would really want to see that close-up.
Dori Cooperman, Casey Johnson & La Lohan… Villa must have had a lot of puke on the floor that night.
It’s posts like these that will keep Paris in the spot light. As long as people continuously talk about every unimportant, ridiculous event in her life then she will always be popular. That is what she wants-it’s not hard to figure out.
White Trash, West Coast Trash, how about Trailer Park Trash? LOL
Big bird rules with “Marry good girls” (sic) and Lord Snooty made me drop my tea from laughing so hard.
Love, love, love some real napalm-style humor the morning.
Katy Girl is so right… keep it up James, you’ve pleased the voracious thing called Paris. Paris doesn’t give a rip what sort of things people are saying about her, as long as they’re talking she’s quite happy.
paris is not trash. far from it actually. you might not agree with her lifestyle choices but the girl is not trash in the least bit. only jealous people would say that. oh, and to whoever said it doesn’t matter who your grandfather is, etc. um, in this world… that’s all that matters. she’s a freaking hilton. she’s probably going to marry stavros. this hollywood thing is just fun stuff for her until she returns to proper “society.”
she is just a really fun girl that took advantage of the fact that sleazebag rick sold her out. if you knew the hiltons, you would know they were so devastated when the tape came out and did their best to suppress it. paris built her whole career out of rising from those ashes.
I like Paris. You’ve got to appreciate a girl who can brush off the fact that her man sold her out… and now she’s selling everything and making dough up the wazoo. Good for her. For all this talk of class and trash… it’s just plain silly!
Lily, do you know the Hiltons?
If you don’t hang around slezebags (and act like them), then they can’t sell you out, right?
Lily, you’re kidding, right? You think that having a grandfather with the “right” name is the only important thing about a person?
If that’s true, I’d be interested in hearing the definition of “society” because I thought it meant more than just having a pile of money.
And the Hiltons’ dad isn’t actually in the business, is he?
Who is Nicolas Berggruen?
no… i am not kidding. would anyone care about stella schnabel if her father wasn’t julian? or nicole if her dad wasn’t lionel richie? in this world, which you are probably not a part of, that’s the stuff that matters. and yes, i know the hiltons. paris and nicky are the sweetest girls and i can’t imagine two socialite sisters that have more fun with their life.
Paris obviously stands out of this crowd. She looks really cute in these pictures. The short hair looks really nice… and her makeup is perfect in my opinion. I like what she’s wearing, too. Whoever said she looks kind of other-worldly compared to everyone else is right on the ball. Devon Aoki is simply gorgeous. I would love to see more of her and hope that she goes to parties in NYC this year.
So does Paris portray herself accurately in public? I mean, does she put on a persona? I have always thought she might be pretty smart. (Well, at least smart like a fox.)
Yes; thank goodness I’m not part of the world where the only thing that matters is who your grandfather is. I understand your point because I suppose it has more to do with grand-daddy’s money. Are you saying though if person is a skanky, nasty, horrible, lying, cheating, trifling low-life, that “society” accepts them if there’s enough (or the perception of enough) money that grand-daddy might leave you?
What happens if grand-daddy leaves his money to PETA or the SPCA instead of his low-life grandchild?
yeah, paris’ public demeanor is 100% persona. in that way, she is a really good actress. like, she knows exactly what wal-mart is… she is actually good friends with paige laurie! paris knows what people want to see and hear about people of her social class.
Yes, everyone loves to lap up the cultural vomit. It certainly makes MY day.
Paris’ grandfather Barron has committed 97% of his $2.3 billion fortune to the family foundation. Paris makes at least $10 million a year, by herself, through her various businesses. Her father, Rick, is worth $300 million. She has nothing to worry about at all, whether or not she marries Stavros, who will inherit more than $1 billion himself in the future.
Nicky is practically engaged to David Katzenberg. David’s father is almost worth $1 billion… so no worries for Nicky either.
You can make fun of the Hilton sisters all you want but they are high society girls who will marry even smarter than their mother…
I just wish someone would explain the definition of “high society”. Is it just defined by money?
You’re looking at it. It’s too broad of a word to define… but generally it’s just rich people who associate themselves with other rich people.
I sort of think it is defined by money in New York. But then my boyfriend’s father became very indignant the other day when I mentioned Tinsley Mortimer and said she was big in the NY social scene. He said, “What, the scene as defined by New York Magazine?” So I suspect that there is a much more discreet, low key version of society running around.
But then again, the discreet, low key version that I am thinking of may be dismissed by 5th Avenue as the preppy country club set. I am somewhat provincial.
Please, there is much more going on in “society” than Tinsley.
good god. You can go far with money in NY, but there are a lot of layers and money doesn’t get through all of them.
The people who are discreet and running the old school co-op boards do not think highly of Paris or Tinsley.
Even Tinsley and Ivanka claim not to want to associate with Paris.
Paris is definitely doing her thing, but it’s not impressing anyone in high society.
Then of course there is the whole business side of NY where people are dynamic and doing interesting things and making unimaginable amounts of money and are not defined by their last names. And that’s respectable too.
74th - high society is very low key.
your grandfather probably knows that you should only be written about 3 times — your birth, your marriage, and your death.
anything more than that is embarrassing.
Many of you excuse Paris because she’s “making money”. Does money eclipse class? Dignity and self-respect? Some people stick up for her, but if she’s ever alone and sober, will she proud of what she’s done with her life?
Maybe self-worth is a concept of the past when sluts are celebrated and the virgins are called prudes. But if she felt so good about the way she was, she wouldn’t be trying to change it.
Kimberly- good to know. I sort of tend to think that “society”- or at least the best definition of it- would never think of itself as such.
I promise you that there is no such thing as some type of secret “low key” society in town. If you’re high society, young, and pretty you WILL end up on Park Avenue Peerage and/or Page Six. Even the preppy country club set would kill to hang out with their own (Tinsley). The concept of being written about when you’re born, married, and dead is so old… and is used by people who aren’t pretty, rich, or fashionable enough otherwise.
High society is not just money. If that was the case then anyone from the ghetto that wins the lottery can be considered “high society”. Also, a last name (Hilton or Johnson) does NOT automatically buy you class. Paris’ behavior is GHETTO. With or without her famous last name, her behavior is TRASH!!!! She behaves like a scandalous slut. Even jail has not reformed her trashy ways.
Lily- I guess since you know the sweet Hilton sisters you must know that Paris is KNOWN to be a backstabbing, selfish bitch? She goes after men that are “taken” because she has such low self-esteem, even though she may act like she has confidence the size of the world. Have you ever partied with Paris??? She gives random blow-jobs and makes-out with random men at clubs. That is known by anyone who has partied with her and seen her at the clubs she frequents. She is beyond reprehensible. But, I guess you already knew that and still think she is a “nice girl”????
#94 Fifth Avenue - here is a quote….. it is certainly expressed more eloquently than i could have to answer your #94 post.
“The most advertised commodity is not always intrinsically the best, but is sometimes merely the product of a company with plenty of money to spend on advertising. In the same way, money brings certain people before the public—sometimes they are persons of “quality,” quite as often the so-called “society leaders” featured in the public press do not belong to good society at all, in spite of their many published photographs and the energies of their press-agents. Or possibly they do belong to “smart” society; but if too much advertised, instead of being the “queens” they seem, they might more accurately be classified as the court jesters of to-day.”
that seems to cover it quite well!
what are you talking about? yes, when people party they meet people and they make out. it happens. i have done it myself. she, however, does NOT give blowjobs to guys in clubs, on the dancefloor. don’t make things up. she is not a backstabber. she has never stolen any guy from his gf or wife… jason, rick, brian, paris latsis, stav, and alex were all completely single.
Casey looks like some kind of freak dwarf, her body looks like a pudgy
14 year old, but her face often appears over 40. She has had some kind of bad surgery. Paris, for once looks good, needs to keep this stylist. Where’s a photo of Ms. Graff ?
What does Paris Hilton sell besides hamburgers?
Perfumes, clothes, ring tones, dolls, nightclubs, champagne, and she has her own record label… she’s a one woman show. Gotta love her for taking advantage of her notoriety and wealth.
Daphne Guinness is more than a fashion icon. She is a goddess. I worship her style. All hail the Honourable Mrs Niarchos!
If she is having fun with it, then that’s fantastic.
Let’s just not put her out there as a paragon of good breeding and social graces. She is an entrepeneur with a lot of chutzpuh and a genius for PR and, let’s face it, not much shame or sense of accountability.
I actually kind of liked her song and video two summers ago.
100. Why do you “gotta love (Paris) for taking advantage of her notoriety and wealth?” I’m not impressed at all by someone who does that - it sounds cheap and easy. I think it reveals weak character. Surely, people should be defined by more than their wealth and notoriety, especially if it’s been handed to them.
fifth avenue, you are the best poster here. the others seem a little…dim
Well, j, don’t you know? Everyone who doesn’t live in NY is a little dim.
I LOVE Daphne Guinness. A lot of fabulous people were at this party; it was not some trashy thing with a Paris-centric guest list.
Blah, Blah, Blah…enough about Paris. I want to know what everyones take is on the new show “Real Housewives of NYC”. Who are they? Have they been mentioned or featured here before? Hey James how about doing a blog about the wives?
Paris is a vapid skank. End of story. I love how some people here suggest that she is sharp or a good actress. She’s neither. The fact that her abject stupidity is so obviously a put on makes her even more loathesome than if it were genuine.
“If you’re high society, young, and pretty you WILL end up on Park Avenue Peerage and/or Page Six.”
Probably the dumbest thing ever written on the internets.
Paris, whatever else she may be (and I would certainly not want any woman in my life to behave in a way that shows such a complete lack of dignity), is a genius at self-promotion. She is now completely independent of her grandfather, a mass-media sensation and household name, and a force on the hollywood scene. She doesn’t need co-op board doyennes, or even Tinsley and her ilk. The doyennes go out of their way to pose with hollywood celebrities, Paris made herself one.
Paris is such a celebrity that her name can be found on lists of people NOT to invite to/allow entry to parties…now that’s fame!!
There’s a difference between being a Hollywood celebrity (Angelina and Brad, Tom Cruise, etc.) and being famous for behaving badly. I’m sure the subtle distinction is lost on anyone who is a fan of Paris, though.
Lily darling, Paris DOES give BJs. She has carved a name for herself as being a good BJ since she had Jenna Jameson actually teach her how to give a great BJ. A “friend” a real friend of Paris would know this as she makes no qualms about that. She loves being promiscuous and gets a kick out of getting a taken man. SHE DID DO IT WITH TO A LOT OF HER FRIENDS AND NON-FRIENDS. Did you forget why Shauna Mokler-Travis beat her A$$!!!!!
Kimberley - Beautifully quoted!
Domino - Very true. She is a celebrity for pimps, sluts and hookers.
again, what are you talking about? that makes no sense whatsoever. oh yes, jenna jameson herself taught paris how to give a guy a blowjob. was it in the backroom of hyde, with a banana she snuck in? don’t believe every ridiculous thing about paris that you read, that is, if you didn’t make that up yourself. that shanna moakler thing is so dumb. shanna and travis were separated for months and had divorce proceedings pending in court. get your facts straight at least and don’t repeat ridiculous hearsay. paris doesn’t actually sleep with any of these guys. you do know that there are paparazzi that are assigned JUST to her and live outside her house, right? anyone entering/leaving her gated community is monitored/known. she does not bring guys home is my point. and if she did… so what? she’s an adult that makes her own decisions.
It’s too bad about the sex tape. It ruined Paris’ chances to ever marry well. Totally ruined them. Ugh.
Paris looks lovely. She is a stand-out in this little NY society reunion and in general. Yes, she made a sex tape. Yes, you can find a picture of lady bits on the Internet. Do you actually think she spread her legs open and asked for that picture to be taken? If that perverted photographer didn’t zoom in on her crotch and underneath her skirt as she left her car, then there would be no problem. I think that some of you need to step back and look at her accomplishments. Minus the sleaze/overt sex factor… she is what all of these Park Avenue Peerage girls want to be. Famous and rich… for being famous and rich, and in such a way that she is a household name around the world and a marketable, income-producing brand.
Fifth Avenue is just being honest. I think that most of the girls featured here secretly want to be as big as Paris, though they may want a slightly different route towards achieving it. I am certainly NOT a fan of Paris, she’s annoying and she does behave rather trashily (if there’s such a word), but it is disingenuous to assume that the girls on this site are above whoring themselves for publicity. If so, then what’s the point of going to all these parties and posing?… Those who are snotty towards Paris and think her unworthy of “society” are deluding themselves to think that high society is all that high. Well, in their minds, maybe. Pardon me if I’m wrong on the info, but was it in this site that I read that this Fabiola girl supposedly said that compared with (hollywood) celebs, she and her ilk are at least known not to have come from trailer parks? Well, she and her crowd are not known to have come from trailer parks for they are not known at all. And they’d love to change that, jockeying eagerly to have their pictures taken with those trailer park celebs any chance they get… And to HaHaHa 103.. “Surely, people should be defined by more than their wealth and notoriety, ESPECIALLY IF IT’S BEEN HANDED TO THEM.”..Well, isn’t this the very reality of most of these socialites?
Lily, you are lying about Paris. Stav was dating Mary Kate when she approached HIM in a club and they hooked up. Mary Kate said so herself in VF. If Paris is so sweet then why is she on video tape making out with Joe Francis and and saying rascist and anti-semitic remarks? If she is such a good girl then how come NO ONE likes her and her album and movie failed miserably? If she is such a good girl then why was she banned from the Oscars? If she doesn’t have random hook ups then why is she ALWAYS seen swapping swip with mangy looking guys in the club? Just within the last month she has been seen making out with some random guy from Germany, Simon Rex, Alex Vaggo, Jared Leto and now Benji Madden. She is a slut with no class and she is trash with Herpes. Dd you not see all of her Valtex presciptions all over the internet? Please don’t lie and say that she is making 10 million a year as that is an horrible overstatement. If she was making that much then she would be higher up on the Forbes Celebrity list.
oh sorry, i meant that the blue eyes ON paris and on nicky look so vibrant compared to the pictures you can see of Paris with her natural eye color (along with natural nose) are so incredibly less-flattering. The blue eyes just help out what is objectively, not a naturally good-looking woman. That is merely what i meant.
i love brown eyes, and have them, so I shouldn’t hate them!
Thank you Jewettess! Lily sounds like a naive Paris tag-along.
Yes, as far fetched as it may sound to normal people, she DID have Jenna teach her to give BJs and she gets a thrill out of random sex acts in public. In Paris’ world that is normal. She threw herself upon Stavros who was still in a relationship w/ MK, her then “friend”. She spread her legs open and gave him a lap dance. A nice girl doesn’t do that, let alone to her friend’s BF. So stop singing her praises b/c you are only making yourself sound just stupid and slutty as she is, which you probably are if you hang out w/ her.
I dare say Lily is Paris herself, but the posts aren’t written in pig Latin. Perhaps it’s that tawdry, slimy orange-skinned publicist Elliot Whozit she has on retainer or one of his assistants? A good bet.
seriously, what are all of you talking about?? paris did not steal stav from anyone. do you actually think that was the FIRST time ever paris met stav? you do realize that they travel in the same social circles right? paris was just your avg cute girl in st moritz, gstaad, and at parties in london and cannes well before she became the “paris hilton” that all of you think you know.
i didn’t mean to come here as a defender of paris but who hasn’t made out with cute guys at clubs? and why do you call her a slut? everytime you call another girl a slut you are just demeaning all of us. you don’t like paris because you don’t even want to TRY and see her as anything but a spoiled, selfish, slutty rich girl.
I would not be surprised if Paris Hilton read Park Avenue Peerage. God only knows she loves herself so much that she reads everything possible. Certainly Nicky because she’s friends with some of the PAP girls and Kathy is as much a social striver as an actress… Obviously some of these voices on here know Paris much more intimately than the rest of us who have only seen/read about her…
Lily - Sorry to burst your bubble but not everyone makes out w/ random guys at clubs, pole dances w/ lingerie in public, and makes sex tapes. Also, notice how nobody is commenting on Nicky? Because Nicky is more low-key than Paris and not so shameless.
If Paris is really a good person, then maybe she should have used her great name to make an actual difference in the lives of people less fortunate. Instead she chose to use her name to gain infamous notoriety as a slut. We are all just calling it as we see it. Paris only serves to advance HERSELF in any way possible. Can you please help us try to “see her as anything but a spoiled, selfish, slutty rich girl?” I mean WHO, WHAT or WHERE has she helped to make a positive impact in the lives of other people???? And, please don’t mention any of her phony publicity seeking appearances. She is the most selfish “celebrity” and I use this term very loosely I’ve seen.
and um, didn’t Casey Johnson and Paris stop talking because Paris stole her BF.. lol. Paris is trash.. people try to give her props for self-promotion. Her movie flopped, she’s just overexposed and won’t go away. What’s next, a reality show about trying to find a “normal” friend? Lame. And yes, she really is that dumb, her brain has shriveled away from years of drug and alcohol abuse.
Meanwhile, everyone is fascinated by Paris. Look at all the time spent on her just in this one blog!!! Love her or hate her, she is not only a sex machine but a major money machine in so many different ways….magazines, blogs, tv, nightclubs, products….on and on and on and all this talk about her just continues to feed the beast called “Paris”.
Have you guys read House of Hilton by Jerry Oppenheimer?
I recommend it… It’s kind of funny, but interesting….
Poor Hiltons.
paris is not a slut or a tramp. the tabloids make her out to be one. it makes people like you feel better about themselves if she’s a whore. yeah, she wears sexy clothes that are revealing… but why shouldn’t she? she is hot, whether you accept that or not. the tabloids (people who do not understand our social class) do not realize that we have nothing to lose, whatever they say. this is all just for fun. about paris and casey… they have been best friends since they were babies, longer than even nicole.

“She was such entertainment when she lived in NYC. All the drama that James so diligently wrote out involving her happened within a frame of one to two years. He was probably just scratching at it, too, as there was so much.”
Uh, I believe James has only been doing this for a year or 2 (and thank you James) while Paris was running around and making the columns in NY as far back as 2001.
And you may scoff at Paris wanting to go to the silly Costume Institute gala, but when she’s 45 or 50 and everyone’s thoroughly tired of her, she would LOVE to go on the arm of some designer.
She still might get it together, a bit of wild youth is alright. It’s not impossible she might be in NY society in the future, but she better land a rich husband. Oh, and grow a brain. Tick-tock !

The sheer vulgarity described in that paragraph encapsulates the problem with Paris pretty succinctly. Thx!~
I cannot believe that anyone who reads this blog truly believes that any of the NYC “socials” would bow so low as to be a Paris wanna-be!
Paris is vulgar. There is no amount of money or anything else on God’s green earth that excuses her actions. She is beyond a little bit of wild youth or insecurity or anything else. I believe she is quite calculating in her appearances (such as they are). Commentators like “Lily (see #128) who post statements like “…our social class…” make me gag. Again, those that use the word “class” don’t have any…particularly when Paris Hilton is mentioned. Save your breath, Lily and exhale only when necessary.
Anticx I think you are pretty much right on. And to Arundel, when Paris is 40 or 50 I still don’t think that she would be interested in being some social darling. That’s why she moved to LA people!! She wanted to be a movie star!!
I must admit I don”t always think she looks good but she looks great here. Worlds better sans extensions.
That trailer park comment of Fabs has always gotten under my skin. I’m not talking about the bimbo brigade, but “real” actresses like Natalie Portman or Reese Witherspoon have more “class” and intelligence than most of these publicist/socialite wanna be women. Sorry.
Oh, and DoCo is just a total shank. What a joke. Will she ever learn?
Bottom line about Paris is she drove drunk, was arrested, and then tried to worm her way out of it because she is a “celebrity.” And when she is released, she makes statements that she is going to be a changed person, yet she is still out drinking and partying all the time. She doesn’t feel that rules should apply to her, and that is not someone anyone should look up to. There is no excuse for drinking and driving, especially when you have as much money as she does; it would have been quite easy for her to hire a driver or call a taxi. The fact alone that she drove drunk, and then cried that she “didn’t deserve” the treatment she received shows me she is disgusting filth that would be better off sent into obscurity than having her posted on this or any website.
And by the way, I think it is disgusting that any celebrity gets off easy for drinking and driving just because of who they are in society.
Thank you for pointing this out. There is absolutely no excuse to drive while drinking especially when you have the money for a driver or taxi. I wonder how posters here, like lily, justify that behavior?

–and so was Diana Beijo
Bonneth ftw lmaoooo Diana Biejo is missed
At least Paris Hilton has the dignity to own up to her being famous for being rich, beautiful, and a sex symbol. Fame is fame, no matter how you cut it, by way of being a pampered Hilton living in the Waldorf or by being the rich bitch that stole a starlet’s husband, had sex with him, and taped it for the world to see.
137, Knightsbridge–
To which of these “ladies” are you referring?
In your equation was the husband Dave Navarro, the Starlet Carmen Electra, and the “Socialite” S. Howard?!
Your allusion was lost on me!
Oh, Bonneth… kisses and hugs and vintage Escada and feathered mules, too.
Please, don’t forget Miami and Rio!
…..and who is Kimmy representing now ?
maybe Paris needs an image upgrade.
DB specialized in dancing and videos… perhaps a long lost international auntie of the Avanzino/Hilton clan?
Kimmy is a perfect PR for the shameless and peripatetic Hilton.
Need I tell you that the mere mention of her made my evening? I shrieked with delight.
