Paris Hilton wrecks $200-k Bentley with her black SUV
As the heir to a million-dollar fortune Paris Hilton has her fair share of toys to play around with. And, as you might expect from one so wealthy, sometimes she doesn’t look after her belongings as well as she should. The socialite had to take her customised pink Bentley to be repaired after another of her fleet, a black SUV, crashed into it outside her home. She now has to foot a $5,000-repair bill and is without her beloved pink Barbie car. Paris had the car custom-built for herself at a cost of $200,000 in December 2008. A huge fan of Barbie, Paris decided to pimp out her Bentley in pink, her favourite colour — even decorating the interior of the car to match the exterior.
After buying the luxury car, Hilton drove it to West Coast Customs remodelling firm in Los Angeles, which is famous for customising cars in MTV makeover show Pimp My Ride.

Sony work-experience girl turns blog into film
A work experience girl who toiled for free at Sony has landed a multimillion-pound film deal from Hollywood producers keen to make a movie of her life. Dubbed The Devil Wears Prada meets Bridget Jones’s Diary, the film will be based on blogs written by 25-year old Lotte Mullen while she worked for free for the music giant — parent company of Simon Cowell’s label SyCo. Written from the Londoner’s grimy bedsit, the blogs divulge tales of the sordid side of the music industry, where Lotte frequently rubbed shoulders with high-profile music moguls. In a her no-holds-barred posts, Mullan discusses the inappropriate touching and sweaty hugs from the sleazy execs she encountered while working at Sony and Warner Bros, the men at gigs who relieved themselves in bottles next to her, plus the perils of living in a damp-ridden bedsit while attempting to glam up in ever-more revealing outfits demanded by leery music bosses.
Her blogs caught the attention of literary agent Julian Alexander of LAW, who signed her up as a fledgling author, and producer and screenwriter Nick Moorcroft, the movie executive behind St Trinian’s and Burke & Hare. Moorecroft now plans to portray Mullan’s life as a comedy drama set across both the British and American music industries. Mullan is set to gain over £2million from the film, book, live work, merchandising and music publishing.

Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matthew Rutler emerges with her red lipstick smeared all over his face
Things certainly got hot and heavy between Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler last Friday night. Emerging from The Beverly nightclub in Beverly Hills, the 30-year-old’s boyfriend was spotted with her signature red lipstick smeared all over his mouth. It appears that the younger 25-year-old struggled to keep his hands and his lips off the Dirty singer, who looked sexy in a revealing black maxi-dress. The couple looked a little worse for wear as they emerged from the club, especially Christina, who needed a helping hand from Rutler as they made their way back from the car. While her eye-make-up was sill intact, she appeared somewhat glassy-eyed. Earlier in the night, the couple were enjoying a romantic dinner date at their favourite Italian restaurant, Mozza Osteria.
