Paris Hilton has promised to help the struggling global economy by doing what she does best – shopping. The multi-millionairess admits her income has not been affected by the current international financial crisis, with many promoters still paying her thousands of dollars just to make an appearance at certain nightclubs.

And Hilton is adamant that she can give the retail industry a boost – by continuing her excessive spending.

She tells British magazine Heat, "It's really scary about the economy right now. So the way I'm playing my part in helping is doing a lot of shopping wherever I go."

The socialite previously pledged her help to the American economy by vowing only to wear clothes by U.S. fashion designers.

We're actually kind of proud of Paris on this one. She sees a correlation between money and the economy. We would have thought that she would offer to fix all of the world's problems by always having a smile on her face or throwing a party or something.

Cameron Diaz rowed with staff at an Abercrombie & Fitch store, say reports. The Charlie's Angels actress got angry when she was told that she couldn't purchase a specific T-shirt, which was the last of its kind in the shop.

According to the Daily Star, Diaz, 35, shrieked and stamped her feet in protest. When leaving, the actress allegedly called the staff "dick fiends".

The T-shirt apparently had the words "Jesus Goat" printed on the front.

"Dick fiends" is a good one! Were Cammy D ever to find herself out of the acting game, she could easily start her own company making up inventive new cussing for those who have depleted their swear cache. Her best clients could be Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, and Alec Baldwin would employ her to come over and whisper "Smegma nugget . . . rat clit . . . um . . . cooter tooter" whenever he called his daughter. Cam'll be the Cyrano de Bergerac of pottymouths!

Britney Spears keeps coming up with weird requests for her favorite L.A. boutiques.

She flummoxed staff at the Betsey Johnson on Melrose Ave. this month by turning up with a Dolce & Gabbana dress she wanted the store to copy – in all white – to be ready by that evening.

According to a witness, "the staff explained that they didn't have a dressmaker on call who could do it in time." Never mind that the frock she wanted copied wasn't even their label.

"The only thing she wanted to buy in the store was the yellow wig on a mannequin in the window," laughs the source. "The manager eventually agreed to offer it to her for $100."

We don't know what's got everyone in such a tizzy. We don't think Brit's request was all that bizarre. Sure, she wanted a salesperson in a store that sells clothing that is already constructed to make her a knock off of a dress from another designer, but at least she was in a clothing store. She didn't ask for a Jack in the Box night manager to do her tailoring. Nor did she enter the Betsey Johnson store and request that the saleslady bake her a loaf of ciabatta or perform an appendectomy.

Jennifer Lopez is leaving no doubt she's expecting boy and girl twins ó and that they will grow up in the sort of luxury befitting royals. In fact, the 38-year-old mama-to-be bought pink and blue onesies: one monogrammed "princess," the other, "prince."

Both son and daughter will get equal comfort by the looks of the gifts she's requested on her top-secret gift registry at Petit Tresor, the exclusive L.A. baby boutique.

It's not known whether pals and business types who want to curry her favor will spring for both babies or one, because what mama wants is pricey.

There's the $349 cashmere outfit, one in pink stripes, one in blue, from Baby CZ.

There are two Moses baskets for $225 each, though there are Smushy teddy bears with pink or blue ribbons for $65.

If you really want to get on the diva's good side, pick out the Balmoral enameled black carriage for a mere $3,495.

There's one $289 suede play mat. Guess they'll have to share.

The cheapest item is the Adiri Natural Nurser at $22. Lopez wants 10 of those.

There's also a $560 jogging stroller for two. It's not known whether we should expect to see J.Lo or her nannies trotting around with the infants.

She's also requested not one but two double Peg Perego strollers for $429 ó one in toffee, and one in mint. Don't speculate that she might even be expecting quadruplets; she's tricoastal.

Lopez, who Fortune called the richest woman under 40 in America, isn't leaving all the spending up to her pals, who have until February to save up for the gift(s).

She's having the tastemakers at Petit Tresor design three nurseries for the teeny totlets at the couple's estates in Bel Air, Fisher Island, and Oyster Bay, says a friend. Lopez is spending $40,000 to outfit each nest, the pal adds, including gilded cribs. "She wants them filled with the most chic furniture from Europe and embroidered linens from France." In pink and blue, natch.

Petit Tresor co-owner Samantha Winch would say only: "We don't talk about any of our clients."

Did we miss something somewhere? The richest woman under 40 in America? Where exactly is Jenny Lo getting all of her money? Her movies go directly to video, she's only toured ONCE in her entire career, her albums don't seem to sell at all anymore. Is it because we're not keyed in to the Latino community, so we just don't see how adored she is? When she visits a Puerto Rican neighborhood do the inhabitants carry her around in an elevated throne and throw bundles of $20 bills at her feet? Does SoundScan not count sales at Julio's House of Salsa?

Lindsay Lohan isnít doing much to quell rumors that sheís strapped for cash. Lohan reportedly shopped around staged Thanksgiving dinner photos that included her mother Dina, sister Ali, her brothers and boyfriend Riley Giles to many of the celeb weeklies. Her asking price began in the six-figure range before dropping to $20,000.

ìShe thinks sheís a huge star. She thinks everyone is dying to read about her, but sheís lost her fan base. Her decisions are being driven by cash, not repairing her image,î said a source who was approached about buying the pics.

Although her photos didn't earn her any money (and her rep denies the entire incident), word is that her Black Friday shopping trip did. Lohan was photographed shopping at an Armani Exchange and Intermix store in Manhattan on Nov. 23, and a source close to the rehabbed starlet says the trip wasn't just pre-arranged to give the paparazzi a heads up, she was paid for the visit, too. ìSeems like everything Lindsay does is to make money,î said the disillusioned source.

We've been waiting for this day for a long time. We knew that if we just waited it out, Lindsay's career would dry up, she'd run out of money, and we'd finally get to see her luscious Lo-cans in all their filmed glory. Two down, one to go. Why don't you go for the trifecta, Lindsay, and grant us all very happy ho-ho-holidays?

Shortly before 1 a.m. on November 18, Britney Spears entered the X-rated Hustler Store in West Hollywood.

Spears loaded up on naughty skivvies and headed to the fitting rooms. But store employees "told her they don't allow people to try on underwear," a source at the scene says. "She was really upset . . . She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes."

At that point, Spears threw a fit, and took off her own underwear before trying on a pair of boy shorts in the middle of the store while 15 other customers looked on.

An eyewitness tells Us, "The employees kept saying 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!' It was like dealing with a child."

Spears' tantrum only continued. "The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source tells Us. As payback, "on her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!"

We're actually more surprised by the fact that Hustler stores are such discerning establishments of hygiene, grace, and demureness that one is not allowed to test drive their drawers. As for Britney's behavior, BFD. For the past year and a half, her reaction to any situation (exiting a car, dancing at a club, standing before a judge) has been to whip off her drawers and sling her beav lips around like a couple of color guard flags.


Britney isn't pantsless at MrSkin.com, but she's close.

Three of Victoria Beckham's credit cards were rejected at a popular West Hollywood mall recently, according to an eyewitness, and that's when Posh got scary. She was at the Abercrombie & Fitch at the Grove in late April and headed to the checkout counter with $12,000, and a customer shopping says 3 credit cards were rejected when the salesperson tried to ring up the purchase. The eyewitness adds, Victoria said there must be something wrong with the store's computer and said she should go somewhere else to shop.

The nervous cashier tried to explain that it wasn't her fault, but Victoria snapped at her: never mind, take this one! The purchase was completed on the fourth attempt but the drama was far from over. Victoria insisted her packages be delivered to her home, but store workers said the most they do was help her load her car; Victoria furiously backed up her Lincoln Navigator to the shop's front door. After her packages were loaded Victoria demanded they do it over because it wasn't done correctly. The eyewitness tells The Enquirer, after the employees packed her car for the second time she jumped in and roared off.

As she took off the shopper says they (the employees) broke into applause!

We're guessing that Vicky's kids reaped most of the benefits of the $12,000 (you can never have too many faded fake vintage logo tees and hibiscus-emblazoned board shorts), but we really love the idea of Victoria ditching her couture for a more laid-back surfer look now that she's living in California. What better way to say, "I'm American, watch my TV show," than with a wardrobe made up completely of knit babydoll tanks and cropped sweatpants? Of course, we're sure that much like Mariah Carey, Victoria's feet will not accept the matching flat footwear, and flip-flops will be eschewed. If anyone can make Jimmy Choos work with terrycloth hot pants, it's Posh.
