Paris Hilton’s Bust

Nice title, eh? Welcome, pr0n spiders!

The Screech story has been tearing up the ‘net. Somebody flipped me the New York Daily News’ reportage on the sex tape scandal, and buried under that was this nugget about Paris Hilton’s drunk driving charge:

Paris Hilton could face six months in jail. The hotel heiress was charged yesterday with driving under the influence. She’s due to arraigned tomorrow in L.A. Superior Court. Hilton was busted on Sept. 7 after cops stopped her Mercedes-Benz SLR. The “Simple Life” star, who said she’d had one margarita that night, denied driving recklessly but has admitted, “Maybe I was speeding a little bit.” Meanwhile, vintage glam rocker Alice Cooper tells Steppin’ Out’s Chaunce Hayden: “Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, is one of my oldest friends. [This bust] just stinks of a Hollywood publicity stunt!” Mintz didn’t get back to us by deadline. …

Go Alice! Way to cut through the crap! Is it just me, or is he implying that his good pal Mintz has probably orchestrated the whole thing? With friends like that…

There was a great piece on Mintz in the New York Times a while back. He used to hang with John Lennon, now he’s chief dogwalker for Paris “the ugly one” Hilton. In fact, Mintz was present at the notorious Brandon Davis “fire crotch” incident.

But hey, at least he’s still tight with old Alice.
