Paris and Hayden Love Jimmy Choo and H&M

Last night Hollywood rolled out the red carpet as Paris & Nicky Hilton, Hayden Panettiere, Kate Walsh, Olivia Wilde, Sheryl Crow, Cat Deeley, Angela Lindvall, Maggie Grace, Mini Anden, among others came out to celebrate the collaboration and the launch of the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection. The star-studded party hosted by Tamara Mellon and Jeffrey Katzenberg, in support of The Motion Picture & Television Fund, was held at a private residence high above the famous Sunset Strip in the Hollywood Hills and featured a Grammy-worthy performance by M.I.A. who dazzled the guests in front of the L.A. skyline. Hollywood’s stars were given an exclusive sneak peak at the glamorous collection that will be unveiled in approximately 200 H&M stores globally on November 14th. The collection includes the most coveted shoes and accessories. For the first time Jimmy Choo has also designed women’s clothing to complement the accessories as well as men’s clothing, shoes, bags and accessories.

"I love H&M already but the fact that they are doing Jimmy Choo as well I think is amazing - the purses, everything, the shoes. The clothes are so cute. They have so many fabulous things and I can't wait to get the whole collection,” said Paris Hilton who coveted everything from the highly anticipated collection.

"Tamara is so brilliant and such a wonderful designer. Her shoes are incredible. I do my shopping sprees at H&M. I was recently in Italy and instead of going to other stores, I went to H&M," said Hayden Panettiere. She also wore Jimmy Choo for H&M leather pants to the event. "I am in love with these pants!"

Paris Who?

A few tidbits from Esquire about the oh-so-famous Paris Hilton we may not have known:

She only wears a dress once. Afterward she gives them to charities and they auction them off to help people with breast cancer, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis.

Although hard to believe, Hilton actually does work. She starts her morning at 7 a.m. making phone calls and says she works until 1 a.m.

She uses her fragrances to her advantage. With the help of the pheromones, it helps with the attraction.

Her grandma used to call her Marilyn Monroe, making her always aspire to be a blond icon ever since she was little.

Benji's In!

"He's the perfect example of 'don't judge a book by its cover.' He's polite, well-mannered - even calls me sir! We love him like family already. Benji doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and is a healthy vegan!" - Rick Hilton

"He's changed her life - and I really think she's genuinely in love for the first time. He's so good to her and for her. We couldn't be happier for them. This has honestly become the real thing." - Kathy Hilton

Paris's BFF Search

Don't worry, Paris and Nicole aren't feuding again, Paris is just realizing that her BFF may have new responsibilities at home, i.e. baby Harlow. So, with Nicole Richie technically out, Paris is looking for a new someone to keep her company.

The heiress and MTV have teamed up to create a reality show that will feature Hilton's search for a sidekick, tentatively called Paris Hilton's My New BFF.

What would it really be like as Hilton's BFF? Well according to the source herself...

"...there's nothing that's really hard," Hilton told PEOPLE at the Hollywood Hills launch party where the series was announced. "I'm going to be in my element in Los Angeles and really showing these women my life, which is completely different than The Simple Life."

And what is Paris looking for in a BFF?

"Someone that I just trust and not someone who's going to stab me in the back - it's happened a lot in this town. Just someone who I can have fun with, someone who could be like my sister."

Sounds easy enough.

One Last Look at Sundance

As Sundance wrapped up yesterday, and the celebs began to vacate Park City, here are a few pictures to remember the film festival of '08.


Paris Hilton jams on the drums at the Velvet Relvolver convert, where she played host for the evening at the 944 magazine party at TAO Park City. Hilton also thanked everyone for coming while her hit single, "Stars are Blind" was played by DJ Vice.


Paris was also seen at the Turning Leaf Lounge where a private dinner was held for her, where she invited friends to join her to discuss her new movie, The Hottie and the Nottie. Describing it as a "cute love story," the movie was not at the festival.


Also in attendance was actress and singer Taryn Manning and DJ and record producer Steve Aoki. All the guests enjoyed Turning Leaf wine during the party.


Showing up once again at Sundance, Paris and Nicky Hilton joined together and enjoyed the MySpace Nights at TAO party. With two nights of invite-only concerts, Maroon 5 and 50 Cent both performed, as well as DJ Samantha Ronson who provided music.


Cute couple Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian enjoyed the events at Sundance as they attended the MySpace Nights at TAO party. Newly pregnant Jessica Alba and fiance Cash Warren were another couple also in attendance as they cuddled and enjoyed the performance by 50 Cent.

Paris predicts Nicole will be "the best mom ever"

At an event last night in West Hollywood, Paris Hilton spoke of longtime friend Nicole Richie's pregnancy, saying, "She's really happy. I just got off the phone with her. She's so excited. I know she's going to be the best mom ever." Of Richie's relationship with Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden, Hilton added, "They're really in love."

TSL canceled

The Simple Life has officially been canceled, according to a source at the E! network. Overexposure is reportedly to blame for the end of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's "reality" show. "We felt like the real life drama of their lives overshadowed anything happening on the show," says the insider. "Viewers would see Paris all day long on the news about her going to jail, so they didn't care about seeing her camping with kids. It just was too played out." Richie also became difficult to work with, adds the source: "Paris carried the show. She was the one willing to do anything. Nicole was the diva."

Paris in rehearsals for singing horror flick

Producers are expected to announce the casting of Paris Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera, rock opera/horror film that will begin shooting in September. The futuristic flick, which is completely sung, chronicles an organ failure epidemic in 2056 that forces people to perfect genetically perfect organs from a biotech company. "The idea is that everybody is buying up organs, and they cannot afford to pay for these organs," the film's director told MTV. "Thus, legalized organ repo-men come into the picture. Murder becomes sanctioned by law. So, if you buy a heart and can't afford it, someone can burst through the door and take your heart out...and they don't get in trouble for it." I'm not sure what makes this flick a horror - the plot or the fact that Paris Hilton has a singing role. On Tuesday night, the heiress did not reveal specifics but did admit to being in rehearsals for a "very cool and unique project." "We're just in the studio," she said. "We're doing dance and singing."

Paris lists house on the market

Well...her neighbors must be happy. Paris Hilton has listed her Hollywood Hills home on the market for $4.25 million. Last month, the media frenzy surrounding Hilton's release and subsequent return to jail uncovered obvious privacy issues for the heiress. According to her aunt and informal spokesperson, Hilton is looking to buy a larger home in a gated community or one with a long gated driveway. The socialite bought the 3,000 square foot house for $2.9 million in 2004. Hilton's aunt said that although her niece does feel sympathy her neighbors and how her presence has affected them, they were not a factor in her decision to sell. The heiress is currently staying in a rental in Malibu.

Nothing's changed

Paris Hilton isn't holding to her word about turning her life around and using her fame for good. In her post-prison interview, the heiress said she had plans to do charity work for breast cancer or MS and to open a "Paris Hilton playhouse" for sick children, but since her release she seems to only be up to her old tricks: shopping, dating, and living the good life. Hilton told E! Online this week, "I'm already working on my new record" and that she has been collaborating "for a few weeks" with producer Scott Storch. She also seems to have new beau, 21-year-old Australian clothing entrepreneur Tyler Atkins. The two were spotted snuggling at a beach party on Saturday, where the socialite snapped up thousands of dollars worth of free jewelry. Yesterday, Hilton embarked on a mega shopping spree, picking up a new surfboard, boogie board, pet toys and beds and photography books. Unless she's giving all that stuff away to charity...looks like business as usual for Hilton.

Did Paris get special treatment?

The LA County Sheriff's Department is investigating charges that Paris Hilton received special treatment during her imprisonment last month. The department hopes to determine whether the heiress had access to a cell phone while other inmates had to wait in line for payphones, whether she was given a new uniform instead a used one, and whether her mail was delivered by a captain rather than inmate trusties. The investigation was prompted by accusations from deputies, whose claims differ from the department's information.

Same old, same old

Nothing seems to have changed with Paris Hilton, despite her post-jail reassurances of her intentions to lead a better life. The socialite is back from Hawaii to prepare for her Fourth of July party in Malibu, but tried to use her quick vacation to show the public that she could relax without wild parties. Fellow vacationers in Maui, however, tell a different tale. "Paris tried to check into the Four Seasons first, but they turned her down," said a hotel guest. "She then tried to stay at the Fairmont Kea Lani, but they turned her down as well. She finally got a place at the Grand Wailea Resort, but that's because it was a Hilton. We all thought it was hilarious that the Hilton hotel was her third choice." Another source said, "The paparazzi told us that Paris calls them herself," and said a photog told him, "'We love her. She lets us know where she's going to be so we can take as many pictures as we want.'" At night, the heiress reportedly couldn't resist the draw of a local nightclub. "She slipped out of the hotel and went to the club at the Hyatt a couple of times," said another source. "She made friends with a couple of local guys and made out with them there. I guess she didn't want pictures of herself doing that... It's amazing. She hasn't changed at all." Whether or not any of this is true, it seems obvious that Hilton calls the paparazzi to let them know where she'll be. Who takes a vacation and invites a pile of stinky cameramen? Only Paris.

Paris gave interview the day she was released

I know we're all insanely sick of Paris Hilton, but it's a pretty slow news day so far... The recently-freed jailbird spoke to People mag yesterday at her grandfather's Bel Air mansion just hours after her release. "Thank God I'm free!" she said. "Just being able to hug my mom felt so great, and I really needed it cause I haven't had a hug in a long time." The heiress gave a candid interview about her stay in prison:

Of her first sleepless nights in jail: "I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics."

Of fellow inmates: "All of the inmates were very supportive. There were girls next to me. We could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet."

On her medical condition: "The doctors were observing me while I was there. They explained to Sheriff Baca that they thought I was having severe anxiety, panic attacks, claustrophobia."

On people who doubt she will change after her experience: "They're wrong and they don't know me. I'm a compassionate person. I have a big heart. I'm sincere, and they'll see."

Of course, if you want more, just tune in to Larry King tonight.

Paris released from jail

Look out, neighbors - Paris Hilton has been released from jail. Hilton walked out of prison shortly after midnight this morning, escorted by deputies and waving to a large crowd of photographers and fans. Met by her parents, Hilton said, "Mom!" as she hugged Kathy Hilton in a waiting Cadillac Escalade. Check out the live footage below. The heiress first reported for jail on June 3 after being sentenced to 45 days on May 4 for driving with a suspended license, but her sentence was reduced as a result of good behavior. After a few days, Hilton was reassigned to house arrest but ordered back to jail after one day. After a visit this weekend with her daughter, Kathy Hilton told reporters, "I think she's very, very excited to see the family." Hilton will make her give her first official interview tomorrow night on Larry King Live.

Paris to chat with Larry King on Wednesday

After NBC's Today show cancelled their planned post-prison interview with Paris Hilton amid rumors they were going to pay the socialite $1 million, Hilton announced that she will instead sit down with Larry King. Hilton will appear in studio for a full hour, and released a statement reading: "I am thrilled that Larry King has asked me to appear on his program to discuss my experience in jail, what I have learned, how I have grown and anything else he wants to talk about. Larry King is not only a world-renown journalist, but a true American icon. It will be an honor to do his show." (Sounds like King himself wrote it, doesn't it?) Meanwhile, more details from the socialite's prison phone conversation with Ryan Seacrest for E! News have been released. Hilton told the Idol host of her plans to build a "transitional home" to help women just released from jail. "These women just keep coming back because they have no place to go," she says, adding that the home will be "a place to get food and clothes on their backs."

Paris calls E! News from jail

Paris Hilton may want to turn over a new life, but she has yet to curb her appetite for media attention. The socialite took a break from staring at the walls to call E! News's Ryan Seacrest, and says she has come to appreciate "things I took for granted" and from now on hopes to use her fame "in a good way." "I'm so much more grateful for everything that I have, even just to have a pillow at night or food," Hilton said in a phone interview. "You know my gratitude has gone up so much and I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it. Frankly [I'm] sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way." Of her stay in jail, the heiress said, "I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won't even let me do that. That's how the rules are, you have to be behind glass. I'm not a criminal, I'm not dangerous, so it makes me feel like that. It's hard but I'm stronger every day... I just can't wait to see my family and have a nice meal and be in my own bed and appreciate all the things I took for granted and never really thought much about."

Paris's first post-pokey interview on the Today show

NBC has reportedly agreed to pay $1 million for Paris Hilton to give her first post-prison interview on the Today show. According to insiders, Hilton will sit down with Meredith Vieira the day after her release from jail next week. ABC is said to be infuriated, after banking on Hilton spilling all to Barbara Walters, who has become a close friend of Hilton's mom, Kathy. NBC Universal head Jeff Zucker called the socialite's father Rick personally to make the pitch. The heiress will speak only to Vieira due to "disparaging" remarks about her made by show co-host Matt Lauer. Hilton's rep said he "can't confirm or deny" the story.

Neighbors dreading Hilton's release

Neighbors of Paris Hilton are dreading her release from prison, calling the media frenzy around her Hollywood home "intolerable" and fearing the "circus" that will resume next week. A spokesperson for an LA councilman says his office received more than 50 complaints from residents during Hilton's one day of house arrest. "Most concerned noise from the five helicopters that handled the live coverage of her one day at home," said the rep. "Other issues involved overcrowding and space issues, because the street is very narrow, doesn't have sidewalks and has no parking." In a letter circulating Hilton's neighborhood, a couple of residents urged residents to contact their city councilor, saying, "Since the arrival of Paris Hilton to our neighborhood we have seen our quality of life deteriorate."
