American Royalty?
Paris Hilton sees herself as "the closest thing to American royalty" according to a quote on Digital Spy. Speaking about her impending wedding she said that she'd always wanted to be a princess on her wedding day and that "only a wedding in England can make that happen."
She wants to get married at St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey but, not being royalty (sorry to break it to you Paris), she doesn't qualify and has written to Prince Charles to ask for dispensation.
Regardless of Prince Charles's decision, it seems that it won't change Paris Hilton's over-inflated ego. She said, "the actual event is going to have a royal theme and London is the only place to do that. I'm the closest thing to American royalty anyway."
Sounds like a ringing endorsement of a constitutional monarchy to me.
Hilton was later accused of being out of place at Live 8. Ana Matronic of the Scissor Sisters was quoted as saying "That woman is representative of everything that's wrong in the world. She has no business being here, all she wants is to get her name in the papers - her and her minging fiance." At this point in time, I'm not sure if this statement was made before or after the Scissor Sisters went on stage promoting their new material.
