I must confess that with all this Britney madness going on I was beginning to feel a little insecure about my perspective on Hollywood and its very famous (and occasionally very crazy) residents. I was in fact beginning to doubt one of the basic principles that run the celebrity world - that the crazy will always be there, but usually kept in check by the very simple realization that people mostly like their celebrities staying in character. I mean, it's very funny to laugh at Britney's latest (and very horrible) weave, for example, and know that she'll be sporting an even worse one tomorrow - all the time being aware of the fact that yes, the popwreck is slightly deranged, but in a mild, harmless way. It's like having an eccentric aunt that insists on wearing horrible purple hats. But it all starts to get a lot less funny when things like "mental illness" or "taking her kids hostage" start happening.

With all this madness going on, it's nice to know some things never change. And yes, trust it to Paris to prove to us all that despite any exceptional... ahem, exceptions, some things in this world stay the same. It almost sounds like the title of a book - "Once a slut, always a slut". Yes, the Paris Hilton biography that will come out in twenty years' time will probably bear this glorious name. The fact is, the not-yet-bipolar Paris decided to show us all that she hasn't lost any of her love for partying and is still ready, willing and able to do her best to be the center of attention, wherever she goes.
So, here are a few well-chosen photos of Paris doing what she knows best: boozing, dancing for the whole club to see and getting a little girl on girl action. Because you know how Paris likes her girls drunk and sweaty...
In the end, I think none of us can deny that Paris is what some people call a "necessary evil". It's annoying and sometimes disgusting to see her strutting around and swinging from pipes in order to get everyone's attention (no, that's not a joke, she actually did that once)... but it's also funny to know that she'll never put a gun to anyone's head and start taking people hostage. At least I hope she won't. And it's always funny and comforting to know there are still celebrities out there who think stepping into urine will give you AIDS. So, yes, in some crazy twisted way we're grateful for our daily slice of Paris. Don't make me say that again...
