Is Paris Engaged... Again?

Interesting, interesting. P6 reports that party girl Paris and on again/off again formerly floppy haired boyfriend Stavros Niarchos may be engaged, since P was spotted recently with a ring on her finger while out with Stav. Read on!

ARE Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos engaged, or is the attention-starved heirhead pulling another sad publicity ploy? Hilton shocked partygoers Monday night when she arrived at Stacey Bendet's "Black & White" dinner for her clothing line alice+olivia at Katsuya in L.A. wearing a huge diamond ring on her left hand. She strolled in with her on-again, off-again Greek - and a ring that looked suspiciously like the fake "diamond" solitaire she once claimed former fiancé Paris Latsis gave her. (Latsis actually gave her a smaller ring from Cartier.) Either way, Hilton wasn't being very open about it. The celebutard acted coy when dinner guests asked about Niarchos and the ring. She spent the night canoodling with Niarchos (who last told Page Six he was "a student"), next to sister Nicky Hilton, Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis, Michelle Trachtenberg and Mena Suvari. Reps for Hilton and Niarchos didn't return calls for comment.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Europe's largest fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz has once again sealed a deal to create a fashion line with Madonna, the company said Thursday.

I'm really happy with the results and look forward to wearing 'M by Madonna' along with the rest of the world." H&M said the new collection will "reflect Madonna's timelessness, unique and always glamorous style." Madonna has a long history of working with Swedes, including music video director Jonas Akerlund and top music producer and song writer Anders Bagge.

Paris Bails On Billboard Awards

Dissatisfied with the jokes scripted for her to tell during her hosting gig at the upcoming Billboard Awards in Las Vegas (which features a 2-day, killer celebrity gifting suite by Backstage Creations), Paris Hilton has bailed out. This news comes after new BFF Britney Spears inexplicably dropped out from co-hosting with Paris. Read on!

"It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers," her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement. "Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarassing about people she knows."
Mintz said Hilton received a script Friday that contained material she found "objectionable." Representatives for Hilton and the awards show could not come to an agreement about the script's content so she decided to scrap the appearance, he said. A call to Billboard was not returned early Saturday.
The Billboard Awards will be handed out Monday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show is scheduled to air live on Fox.

Eva & Tony To Wed in France

Yes indeed, Tony Parker has spoken about plans for the recently engaged happy couple to wed in France in 2007.

Did the Zoe/Richie Split result in the Richie/Hilton Reunion?

The breakup of the stylist and starlet may really ten times more devastating than with the hairstylist, especially when you have the mega-closet of celeb stylist Rachel Zoe at your disposal. Despite earlier reports that Nicole Richie dumped the stylist for being a 'negative influence', sources tell Page Six a different side of the story.. what do you think?

THE real reason Nicole Richie is pals again with Paris Hilton is because Hilton won't interfere with any bad habits she may have, friends say. A source who was there when the duo showed up arm-in-arm at the Volkswagen Concept party in L.A. the other night said Richie dumped her stylist Rachel Zoe because Zoe, Richie's former friend Mischa Barton "and a few others tried to stage an intervention and tell Nicole to get some help about her weight. Nicole was so hurt that she ran back to Paris and ditched those trying to intervene in her life.
