The last time I really paid attention to Paris Hilton it was to point and laugh at her butthurt when asked to secede so the Kardashians could have a larger slice of the porn-making slut pie (and, long before that, Hilton got pissy when owned by David Letterman about going to jail). Except Hilton learned nothing about the ridicule that can follow that kind of sporadic pouting, because she did the same to an Australian station this weekend. On Australia’s morning TV show, Sunrise, promoting a club opening, host Edwina Bartholmew asked the completely reasonable: ‘What about when you’re not famous anymore, what are you going to do?’ Hilton smiled, and answered. But Hilton’s publicist relayed that the 31-year-old was unhappy with the fame question. Hilton’s team then tried to blackmail the show into pulling the clip, saying the crew would be banned from the club’s opening red carpet if the interview aired in full. Not responding well to a threat, Sunrise ran it anyway and were ‘banned from interviewing Hilton ever again.’ Except Hilton’s PR team might need a Xanax, because Hilton just lifted the ban. Bartholmew tweeted: ‘Bizarro world. @ParisHilton just emailed me to say she wasn’t offended and she thought the @sunriseon7 I/v went well. PR overreacted… For those who give two hoots, yes, Paris did (re)invite me tonight. No, I won’t be going. Off on a road trip to a mate’s wedding in Cooma!’
