Paris Hilton in Lebanon
Paris Hilton is in Lebanon: she so belongs to that country with its silly, shallow popular culture. Her visit received front page coverage in many newspapers, including L'Orient-Le Jour and Daily Star. She gave a press conference in which she was treated as a visiting dignitary. She said that she feels that she has managed to protect her privacy in the US. One reporter asked her about that point: about how she has managed her privacy when her sex video is on internet. As soon as she finished his question, Lebanese Internal Security members expelled the offending journalist. (Those who know me know that Paris Hilton really bothers me. But I can't think of a better place that would suit Paris Hilton than the Batata homeland.)
