Heiress On A Shoestring

‘IF you can’t rely on a Hollywood marriage to last, what can you rely on?

”What do you mean no discernible talent?”

Nothing, it seems – with reports in the Enquirer that even Anorak’s favourite hotel heiress’s time in the sun may be over.

The magazine polls its readers to decide whether Paris Hilton is yesterday’s news after a New York gossip columnist banned all mention of her from his column.

Daily News scribe Lloyd Grove complained that the 23-year-old lacked “discernible talent, education, scruples, manners, modesty or underpants”.

All of which may be true, but surely that only goes to prove that she has all the qualities (and lack of lingerie) needed to endear her to gossip columnists.

Certainly, the Enquirer would be in trouble if a similar ban were implemented by its columnists.

This week, for instance, we learn that Paris and sister Nicky have splurged $25,000 on a tanning bed for their West Hollywood pad, that Paris’s New Year’s resolution has been to put on weight and that Paris and Christina Aguilera were once spotted making out at Miami’s Raleigh Hotel.

And that’s before we even get started on her dog…’
