Former Hilton publicist Rob Shuter said in a deposition that Hilton asked him to help plant the story and that he gave the paper comments, dictated by Hilton, that he attributed to himself, Hilton and anonymous sources.
[Zeta Graff] denied the report and claimed that Hilton said, "I'm going to destroy you" after trying to oust her from the club, according to the suit.

As you know, Hilton, 25, has been hissing at Lohan, 19, since she found out the Prairie Home Companion actress has been hanging out with the hotel heiress's ex Stavros Niarchos. The poison became more concentrated when Paris laughed at Brandon Davis's lewd taunt at Lohan at an L.A. club. (Despite his apology to Lohan, the oil heir wore a "Team Firecrotch" T-shirt last week before he checked into rehab.)
Here's what she told L.A. Superior Court: "Contrary to the fabricated cover story, the true facts are that ([REESE Witherspoon]) is not pregnant, does not have a 'baby bump' and has not otherwise gained weight such that she has had to resort to wearing 'empire-waist dresses,' 'baggy clothing,' or an 'old-fashioned 1920s bathing suit.'
I've got to downscale," he told the Miami Herald r...

There is a continuing debate about the extent to which women in the 19th century were involved in economic life. A sutdy utilizes a reading of a number of novels by the English author Anthony Trollope to explore the impact of primogeniture, entail, and the marriage settlement on the relationship between men and women and the extent to which women were involved in the ownership, transmission, and management of property in England in the mid-19th century. The marriage settlement, primogeniture, and entail play a crucial role in Trollope's plots, in the creation and transmission of family wealth. Although Trollope's treatment of them is ambivalent, they have negative as well as positive consequences. The portion and the settlement appear as indispensable elements of marriage, but with the ...

The book includes excerpts from a quarter-century's worth of the actor's conversations with [Lawrence Grobel], a veteran celebrity interviewer, and it's fascinating to watch [Al Pacino] evolve from an intensely driven young actor, to a slightly uncomfortable movie star (he prefers to be thought of as a working actor) to a screen legend.
Joe Pike, the inscrutable sidekick in the Elvis Cole mystery series, takes centrestage in California writer Robert Crais's The Watchman (Pocket, 404 pages, $11), an adrenaline-charged thriller. Pike's been hired to protect a young heiress -- think Paris Hilton, only brainier and much less annoying -- from a bunch of ruthless killers.
The story leaps out of the gate and doesn't slow down until it hits the finish line. Pike, who's been a man of mystery in...

IT'S no secret that [Robert Greenfield] relishes the SSRq60s. He's written two books about the Rolling Stones, as well as biographies of the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and Timothy Leary.
There's no reason, really, other than the fact that [Tommy Weber] and Puss are not dull normals. Puss was an heiress who romanced lords; Tommy lived with actress Charlotte Rampling, palled around with the Stones and Jimi Hendrix, and had a fling with Anita Pallenberg. (The couple's oldest son, Jake Weber, went on to become an actor -- he portrays Patricia Arquette's husband on TV's Medium.)
Beyond their fringe celebrity, there's little compelling about the couple, except that their once-lofty status makes their fall seem more dramatic: Tommy a former "Debs' Delight" who is a pathetic wreck by his deat...

The hard-partying pop tart asked for a purse at the Heatherette fashion show Tuesday in Manhattan, but a fashion source tells us that heiress-model Lydia Hearst turned her down -- and it may be because she thinks [Spears] isn't a good role model.
After Hearst -- who had only 100 of the PUMA bags she designed with Heatherette's Richie Rich and Traver Rains -- politely declined her "offer," Spears was a no-show.
Leslie Sloane Zelnick, the singer's spokeswoman, told us: "It's not true.

The 65-year-old ex-Beatle and a New Jersey trucking heiress (no, she's not a Soprano) were spotted last weekend in the tony Hamptons at a sushi restaurant, a movie theatre and a lingerie shop. On Wednesday, pictures of the pair smooching and strolling along the beach turned up in the tabloids, alongside headlines like "TRYST AND SHOUT.
Shevell, 47 and a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, is [Paul McCartney]'s latest apparent flame since his marriage to Heather Mills disintegrated last year. The rock 'n' roll Hall of Famer was previously spotted with high-profile dates Renée Zellweger, Christie Brinkley and Rosanna Arquette.

The official Archie website has previewed the cover of an upcoming August issue, which poses the pressing -- if ungrammatical -- question, "Who will he marry?" The site's blogs provide the answer. Forget Betty, the wholesome middle-class girl next door. It's snooty heiress Veronica, and, oblivious narcissist that she is, she's blogging about whether Betty will want to be her maid of honour: "I bet she is so happy for me." Of course, sweet, Archie-adoring Betty is crushed. "I am so sad. I don't even know what to say," Bets writes on her blog, before signing off -- rather pathetically -- with her usual "Xoxoxoxo.
