· "I'm in Clinton, Arkansas (no, not
named for he-who-can't-be-named)...I was reading a bit of the local press (Arkansas Times, arktimes.com), which was starstruck enough to mention the filming [of Paris Hilton's "Green Acres"-style reality show] even though they had apparently never heard of her before...the one minor tidbit which was interesting, was that Paris and [gal pal Nicole] Richie spent time in a kissing booth in a fundraiser for the local school/hospital/etc. I've been to Altus before. I know what the typical older rural gentleman is like in Arkansas. The thought of these two women puckering up, for one dollar from the dirty hands of a grizzly greasy guy, in the torn 'big dog' shirt, who might not have bathed this week because the plumbing is out in the single-wide, is really really precious. (Not to give in to stereotypes too much because I do realize most people in my former home state take baths regularly, but there's enough of the true troglodytes, who live in the windowless trailers down dirt roads, who would show up at local events for the cheap beer and funnel cakes, that this scenario is very very probable)."

· "Someone I know has a connection to the Hilton sister's parents and has been inside their apartment at the Waldorf. You would assume it is something like a palatial 6 bedroom penthouse, right? It's actually only a smallish THREE bedroom apartment - Paris and Nicky share a bedroom! And their little brothers share another room. I guess rich people are rich because they don't squander their money on things like separate bedrooms for their children."
