Paris Hilton said that she would never do drugs because she has seen girls who did and who look old and haggard and she, like, loves her young face and wants to keep it that way as long as possible. Then, maybe the suspicious leaves that she was carrying in her purse were just tea leaves and not skunk, a powerful form of marijuana, as it has been suggested.

The socialite attended a fashion show in Milan and, as she was sitting in the front row, a photographer from behind her could see perfectly in her bag as she opened it, took out a vial of nail polish and started to repair a chipped pink finger nail.

Obviously, the paparazzo couldn't pass such an opportunity and he immediately snapped a photo of the silver purse, in which a plastic bag with suspicious-looking leaves could be seen. 'There were a few shocked faces around her but she carried on chatting anyway', an eyewitness said.

Elliot Mintz, the man who is always close to Paris when something happens, immediately released a press statement, asking people not to jump to conclusions and judge the heiress on the basis of a photograph. 'Things are not always as they appear. It would be unfair to draw any conclusions based solely on these photos', he said.

Mintz was also there for Paris in the past, when she was photographed rolling and smoking something that looked like a joint outside a club, that time claiming that the millionaire chick likes to roll her own cigarettes. Please! As if that is ever going to happen!
