"Blasting the stereo and cleaning the entire house top to bottom always lifts a weight off my shoulders."

Paris (21) and Nicky (18) have been ubiquitous on the bi-coastal, as well as international, party scene (college education anyone?). We've all seen the Hilton sisters in various states of undress over the past year or so...those crosses don't fool anyone. Nicky must have a fabulous fake ID if she keeps getting into all those chic champagne soirees but rumor has it that she couldn't attend her own sister's birthday parties (emphasis on the plural) because she was underage. Maybe Nicky should try pulling that D.V.F. wrap dress over the bouncer's eyes so he won't notice!

Seen here at a par-tay for P.Diddy, tacky Tara seems to be having trouble communicating with the person on the other end of the line. Looks like she is ripping into her assistant for forgetting to scoop out the "bready" part of her bagel again. Sitting next to her is, who else but, Paris Hilton--our newest inductee into the FFP bad taste hall of fame. We wish these two a friendship filled with ringing cell phones, too-kohl rimmed eyes, bare midriffs, and boyfriends that use high-end hair care products. Wait a minute, what are we bitching about? We're just jealous that they're YBRF (young, blonde, rich and famous)!
