This picture may not look like much to you now, but what if we were to tell you it was Paris Hilton making out with Travis Barker? Would you be interested then? What if we told you it was Paris getting her face chewed off by a shaven, tattooed bear? Would that be enough to rouse you from your porn-addicted, video-game-obsessed, jaded stupor? Is that what we have to do to please you these days? Make up stories about celebrities getting mauled by bears? Because we're not above that.

We heard titterings (yes, titterings) about Paris possibly hooking up with Travis Barker last week, but there was that whole drunken driving thing to contend with, and our brain only allows three hours and forty-eight minutes to be devoted to Paris Hilton in a given week. So let the clock begin. According to MSNBC's The Scoop:

Gossips are buzzing that the partying heiress was spotted getting hot and heavy with newly-single Travis Barker of Blink 182 at the Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas. “They were making out like crazy,” a source told In Touch Weekly.

“I did not make out with Travis Barker,” Hilton corrected the gossipers. “I was with his friend Alex, who I met that night. It’s nothing serious. He looks like Travis, he has tattoos all over his arms, and he has a mohawk. People must have seen us and confused him with Travis.”

Lucky for us we don't have to take Paris at her word, as Bricks and Stones has this nifty little photo essay on the maybe couple. Now take a look a this here photo and compare the oh-so-classy neck tattoos:





We're not saying that Paris is liar; we're just saying that the guy in the making-out-with-Paris photo has the same checkerboard tattoo on the right side of his neck that Travis does. Perhaps this Alex is BFF with Travis and one night after champagne cocktails and canapés they paid a visit to their favorite tattoo artist to commemorate their special bond. We hear they also have matching Tweety Bird tattoos and their left ankles.
