Paris Hilton's Hotbox Adventures
Paris Hilton seems almost supernaturally capable of gracing any and every pointless Hollywood function at once, usually arriving in a cloud of green smoke, Wicked Witch of the West-style, with her entourage of flying monkey flacks hopping attentively around her. The concerned citizens of TMZ.com were on hand for Hilton's arrival at Hyde Saturday night, when they happened to capture the Simple Life 4 star appearing to nervously snuff a small, lit object while bathed in a cloud of billowy, white smoke. Dutiful Hilton publicist/flying monkey captain Elliot Mintz set the record straight on what could have easily been misconstrued as a quick, non-medicinal, pre-club fix: "I just want to get something clear with you. Paris Hilton rolled her own tobacco cigarettes. It was tobacco that you saw." However, an olfactorily astute Defamer operative was present at the scene and begs to differ:
Well, i hate to even email you guys about her (because lets be honest, who doesnt hate her by now) but while standing on the corner of sunset and laurel after my show at the laugh factory got out, who pulls up in a gorgeous white on white range rover but paris hilton and one of her barbie friends.
They went into a place called HYDE, not sure what it is but it was teeny tiny and barely stood out. but it was noted by everyone else standing around and waiting for the valet men that her car REAKED of marijuana. im not just taking a joint. it smelled like they were hotboxing for 3 hours before pulling up.
Despite our readers' firsthand account of the incident, as TMZ's impressive video capabilities don't yet come equipped with Odorama technology, it's difficult to definitively refute Mintz's assertion of recreational tobacco usage, or his further Jedi-mind-trick-style claims that "You are not at all suspicious about those tiny bags of powdered sugar or the needles with which she regularly self-injects insulin."
