Bad news? Blame the publicist. Paris Hilton stoops to a new low by axing her “hard working” (as the New York Post constantly refers to him) and semantically deft publicist Elliot Mintz for allowing her to get jail time for violating her parole. This is like Al Capone killing his accountant for allowing him to get caught for tax evasion.
I have always admired Mintz. He had an incredibly tough job explaining Paris to the world and he did it admirably. He shielded her, distanced her from stupid comments by Brandon Davis about Lindsay Lohan, had us actually believing that Paris was like a big sister to Britney, and he came up with the absurd explanation for the white substance seen on Paris’ nose as a ”stray dessert.”
