Let the makeover begin for Paris Hilton

One day Paris Hilton is screaming for her mommy as she is cuffed and taken to the pokey in a reckless driving case. The next, she's the model of magnanimity, saying she wouldn't appeal her 45-day sentence and that she is "learning and growing" from her time behind bars.

An insincere buffing of an image scuffed like a pair last season's Jimmy Choos? Maybe. Effective? Probably, say veteran Hollywood image-makers.

"Based on the way the story has been playing out, this is a good move for her," said Michael Levine, who has served as publicist for dozens of celebrities, including Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand and Bill O'Reilly. "Experience has taught me that celebrities respect wisdom but obey pain. What I mean by that is that when they feel the heat, they see the light."

If Levine were working with the celebutante, he would recommend she show she has learned from the experience by fading from the party scene for a while and getting behind sympathetic causes like Angelina Jolie, who traded her bad-girl credentials to become a mother and a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations.

"When you're in a hole, it's generally a good idea to stop digging ... from doing the same idiotic stuff that got you in trouble in the first place," Levine said.

Hilton's publicist, Elliott Mintz, did not immediately return e-mail or phone messages.

Lindsay Lohan’s Cocaine Binge Caught on Video! Pics!

Lindsay Lohan fresh from rehab, has been pictured taking part in a marathon cocaine binge.

Sordid snaps of her snorting the drug and shoving it up a pal's nose was taken as she and two friends crammed into a club toilet during a wild night on the town.

Then the Mean Girls star bragged to the others: "I'm going to New York tomorrow to f*** Jude Law."



Now a friend of the 21-year-old actress says she is spiraling out of control since rehab and revealed that Lohan:

- SNORTED 20 lines of cocaine in ONE night alone

- STRIPPED down to a thong before inhaling the drug off a coffee table

- BRAGGED of wild sex sessions with a host of celebrities including singer James Blunt and model Calum Best.



The friend added: "Lindsay does not care who sees her do coke and where she does it." And she has not managed to stay off the booze either.

"She carries round a water bottle to try to fool everyone into thinking she is clean but she tips the water out and refills it with vodka and soda."

But she was caught out by a secret film made as she snorted the Class A drug at the exclusive Teddy's nightclub in Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel.

The video shows her arriving at 11pm and skulking round the toilets before creeping inside a cubicle.

Wedged inside the loo with two friends, Lohan pulls a small bag of white powder from her jeans pocket.



She dips her finger in and shoves the substance up one friend's nose before snorting some up her own.



And this was filmed just 20 days after she proudly emerged from therapy.

Lindsay, who starred with Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday, booked herself into the $40,000-a-month Wonderland treatment center in Los Angeles earlier this year saying she wanted to get off booze.

She checked out after a month and was back doing drugs at a Hollywood party within a week.

Her friend said: "That night I saw her do more than 20 big lines of cocaine. She was still up doing drugs at 11am even though she had started about 8pm the night before.

"She wasn't even trying to hide it and was blatantly doing it off table tops, keys, books and in the wardrobe, where she was hunched over with her legs crossed almost bent in half doing it off some magazine on the floor.

"I remember looking at her and thinking how pathetic she looked and how out of control she had become.

"When she is on coke, which is most of the time, all the attention has to be on her.

"I have lost count of the number of times I have watched as she stripped naked in front of everyone.

"Then she loves to check herself out in the mirror as she parades around with her boobs hanging out.



"One night we had gone back to her place and, as always, as soon as she walked through the door she stripped down to her thong, bent down and snorted cocaine off her coffee table and then off her toilet seat."

But Lindsay is not only addicted to booze and drugs, she is also hooked on sex with some of Hollywood's hottest men, says our insider.

"She has told me that she has slept with James Blunt, Jude Law, Calum Best, Joaquin Phoenix, Benicio Del Toro, Jared Leto and James Franco," admitted the friend.

"She loves Brits and has told me she has slept with the singer James Blunt a few times over the past month.

"The last time was on April 15 after another house party. I think they went back to a hotel together afterwards. She is very protective over him and when she heard I had met him she sent me a text saying, ‘Stay away from him Bitch, he is mine.'

"Lindsay told me she has messed around with Leonardo DiCaprio a while ago too but claimed that she didn't sleep with him.

"She also flew to New York about two months ago to go to bed with Jude Law.




Last November she slept with Calum Best. She didn't tell me if he was any good but she is usually too wasted to know what is going on anyway."

Lindsay was living it up with old pal Paris Hilton at the Coachella music festival in Palm Springs last week and almost falling out of her dingy grey bra top.

In public Lindsay insists she is sober but, as our video stills show, she is still a hopeless addict and her friend claims the stint in therapy was just a stunt.

She said: "Going to rehab was all for publicity. She wanted people to see her seeking help but it hasn't got her off the drugs at all.

"In an average night Lindsay will do two and half grams of coke on her own.



"She doesn't buy it—she is given it by friends and acquaintances, and it turns her into an angry monster. I have watched many a time Lindsay treating her staff like cr*p."

Her friend is convinced that if she does not tame her wild ways she could meet a tragic end.

"That's why I'm showing this video," she added. "So the world can know what Lindsay has been doing and she can't lie about it to herself or anyone else."

Nick and Venessa: Romance Report

If the press has its way, Nick Lachey will be asking Vanessa Minnillo to be his lawfully wedded second wife any day now. Whispers that the newly bicoastal squeezes are looking to make things legal are growing louder, with Us the latest to weigh in on talk that the crooner will slip a substantial (we're assuming) sparkler on the brunette beauty's finger. "She's confident that he'll do it when the time is right," a mole tells the mag. "They want to try out the living-together thing and if it goes well -- which it will -- he'll pop the question. I think he very much believes this is it."

TomKat Woes

Many years from now, when Suri Cruise is doing research for her tell-all, she'll discover that the tabloids marked her momentous first birthday in the traditional way -- by dissecting her parents' conspiracy-surrounded coupling. "Her Painful Choice: No Way Out," trumpets the front of the latest Us Weekly. "In love with Tom, but confined by Scientology, a conflicted Katie struggles to find happiness." A mole alleges to the mag that a beleaguered Holmes was "offended" when Cruise suggested she take church-approved "mommy classes." Another supposed sticking point with the newlyweds: She's constantly surrounded by her hubby's fellow L. Ron Hubbard-devoted minions, with only BFF Victoria Beckham offering her "a link to the outside world." Huh. Star, meanwhile, goes for a more conventional approach, offering up a no-nonsense "Divorce!" headline and claiming a tearful Katie has had it up to her cold, dead eyeballs with her "critical" mother-in-law. Life & Style, on the other hand, exhales, "Finally! Tom's Side of the Story," and delves into his purported fears over whether Katie is in love with him or what's left of his fame.

Brangelina Gossip

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have a message for everyone planning a trip to the grocery store: Try to ignore the ominous headlines beckoning from between the gum and candy in the checkout line.

Seems the sublime squeezes have had enough of tabloid chatter alleging their 2-year-old relationship is on shaky ground, and they've decided to speak out -- via their respective reps -- to assure the worried masses that they're doing just ducky.

So what provoked the Jolie-Pitts?

"Brad's Talking Split!" hollers the front of this week's Life & Style, which alleges the altruistic-minded parents of Maddox, 5, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 11 months, are "at the breaking point" following a "fierce fight" on April 6.

The tab even offers up a fly-on-the-wall recreation of their supposed squabble, quoting Pitt as going for the jugular with that old standby, "You're not the woman I fell in love with!"

Star, meanwhile, opts for an equally subtle approach with its "Trial Separation" cover, which features Brad bellowing, "Shiloh stays with me!"

The mag claims this supposed "separation" is set to take place when Jolie wings to Prague to shoot the thriller "Wanted."

"They have so many serious issues between them, that giving each other this space might allow them to step back, think about what they mean to each other and decide where they want to go in the future," asserts a source.

You'll recall that the Brangelina backlash began heating up with Us Weekly's "Saint or Sinner: Angelina's Twisted Double Life," which appeared shortly after the increasingly sylphlike Oscar winner brought Pax home from Vietnam last month (and cut a deal with People for the first pictures of the tyke).

Last week's Life & Style also went negative with its cover story, "Brad Asks: Why Don't You Love Shiloh?" while the front of the latest In Touch wonders, "Brad and Angelina: Is It Over?"

A few days back, the London Sunday Mail quoted a frustrated Pitt as calling his beleaguered amour "Supergirl" and kvetching about having his "personal life dissected with all the lies" (his rep tells us he never spoke to the paper) before offering its own gloom-and-doom prediction for the impossibly pretty pair.

"Is it the end of Brad and Angelina?" the paper blared. "She wants it all -- babies, fame, and to save the world. But what she definitely doesn't want is marriage. So -- could it be true? Is Angelina getting ready to dump Brad?"

But the rarefied flames, who in recent days have been snapped engaged in suspect activities such as picking up a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake with Zahara and walking arm-in-arm after dropping Zahara and Pax off at daycare, adamantly deny there's any trouble brewing in their globe-trotting, tot-adopting world.

"There is absolutely no trial separation," Brad's spokeswoman declares to Us Weekly, adding that she refuted the rift rumblings to Life & Style and Star but "they [chose] not to run it."

Not content with just a rebuttal (and apparently unfamiliar with that whole "doth protest too much" thing), the rep then goes into detail about the Jolie-Pitts' upcoming together time.

"As a matter of fact, Brad and the kids are traveling to Prague to be with Angelina while she films her movie," she continues. "Then they are both going to Cannes to promote 'Ocean's Thirteen' and 'A Mighty Heart.' After that, the whole family is going to Los Angeles for the premiere of 'Oceans Thirteen' and then to New York for the premiere of 'A Mighty Heart.'"

Chimes in Angelina's more succinct manager, "They are together and very happy."

Jude Law and Lindsay Lohan... What?!

Words we sincerely hope Jude Law's three kids will never have to hear: "Meet Lindsay Lohan, your future stepmom." The New York Post claims the rehabbed but still continuously club-hopping starlet got to know the Sienna-less, nanny-susceptible actor a little bit better last weekend while making the scene in Manhattan.

Lohan, 20, supposedly called Law, 34, at 1 a.m. Saturday and rendezvoused with him at the unfortunately named New York nightspot The Box.

They apparently hit it off, because the next night the age-disproportionate new pals met up again at The Box (oy). There, says the paper, they hung out with Jude's buddies Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, who at 46 and 48, respectively, must have filled LiLo's father-figure quota for the month (in related news, her estranged pop was sprung from the pokey this week).

"They are adoring one another's company," a mole (no doubt breathlessly) informs the paper, but demurs when asked whether they might be "dating."

Lindsay's spokeswoman is mum on the reports, although she does confirm to Star that the puffy lipped actress, who may or may not have clipped a paparazzo with her BMW while leaving hot spot Butter on Tuesday, has purchased two puppies (PETA, take note).

As for Law, who has been in Tokyo this week promoting "The Holiday," his mouthpiece doesn't comment on his personal life.
