So. Paris Hilton was at a fashion show in Milan last week.





Ever the pillar of understated class, she painted her nails while leaving her purse unzipped, in essence, issuing an open invitation for paparazzi to snap pictures of its contents. Which seemed to include a little baggie full of a suspicious substance, herb-like in appearance:





When asked to explain, Paris's oft-apologizing rep, Elliot Mintz, did not confirm or deny what was in the baggie, but cryptically said, "Things are not always as they appear. It would be unfair to draw any conclusions based solely on these photos." And then he drove his point home by turning a dollar bill into a beautiful white dove after pulling a nickel from a child's ear.
