Paris Hilton Accused of Selling Pirated Pictures

It seems Paris Hilton will do anything for a buck these days, even stab her friend Nicole in the back, and take the money intended for babies via The Madden Richie Foundation. Gate Crasher reports:

A picture is worth a thousand words — and possibly several thousand dollars. Nicole Richie and rocker Joel Madden held their baby shower at the Beverly Hills Hotel last Sunday, with exclusive coverage granted to InStyle magazine. But early last week, pirated pics of "The Wizard of Oz"-themed party were being offered by a source to competing magazines. And one pal suspects Richie frenemy Paris Hilton might have had something to do with it. "All the photos that were offered had Paris right in the center of them, as the star," sniffs the insider. "They look set up."

The pics, priced at around $3,000 to $4,000, did not sell since the celebrity tabloids closed early last week, due to Thanksgiving.

But in the opinion of our conspiracy theorist: "None of the money would have been for Paris — for her it’s about the attention."

Hilton’s rep told us: "Paris was a hostess of the shower, which a large number of people attended. Many of these guests were taking photos with camera phones . . . there is no way she had anything to do with this."

How could anyone not believe Paris was involved? She was in every picture being sold, so there’s little doubt she felt she somehow owned the pictures. The closer Paris gets to oblivion the more desperate she becomes. Don’t be surprised if you’re at your local bank one of these days, when you see Paris walk in and hold it up to get her face on the evening news.
