- A sign of the times, The Way We Live Now, a zeitgeisty milestone: Paris Hilton turns 30 on Thursday. The woman who oversees 17 different product lines (including shoes, handbags, perfumes, apparel, sunglasses, Champagne, lingerie and a line of fake nails, eyelashes and hair extensions) says that she has “changed her whole lifestyle in the past few years.” Although! She owns a pink bouncy castle. And: Her new reality show, The World According to Paris, premieres on Oxygen this summer. [New York Post]
- Interesting: Several jewelers claim the value of the necklace Lindsay Lohan allegedly stole is not $2500, but closer to $800 or $1000. California law states that if an item is $950 or less, theft is a misdemeanor, not a felony. The D.A. says: “If [Lindsay’s lawyer] presents me with credible evidence of value, we will take a look at it. But based upon what’s in front of us — what the store owner and designer said — the necklace is worth $2,500.” [TMZ]
- A new witness has come forward, claiming that he went to the jewelry store way before Lindsay did, and was interested in buying the necklace in question. They told him it was $800. [Radar Online]
- Lindsay has been calling retailers she’s borrowed from in the past, asking them to vouch for her in court. “They are avoiding her calls.” [Janet Charlton’s Hollywood]
