Are Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos Engaged? Hell No.


Speculation ran rampant last week as to the status of Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos's relationship. Reports were even flying around that the two had become engaged, thanks to Paris's overt public ring-flashing.

Now it appears that the whole ring episode was just another example of Paris being Paris (in other words, a publicity-grubbing little shit). The ring, it turns out, was a fake, purchased by Paris herself, and flashed around for the sole purpose of getting people talking (Paris Hilton - mistress of subtlety). Sort of amusing I guess. Unless you're the parents of Stavros Niarchos, who apparently don't think very much of their son's on-again-off-again flame.

And how much do Niarchos's parents hate Paris?

"They refused to meet her last year when Paris and Stavros had dated for a while," a source told Page 6. "Paris even followed him and his family to Hawaii, where they go every New Year's, and they still wouldn't meet her. They think she's tacky."

Tacky? Well, that's one way of saying it. I would've gone with, "reprehensibly tasteless and stupid to the point of barely qualifying as a higher mammal," but that's just me.

And oh, just in case you thought Paris was the only Hilton incurring the scorn of their lovers' family members, it seems Nicky Hilton is not high on boyfriend David Katzenberg's father's list either. Said a friend of Jeffrey Katzenberg, famed Hollywood midget, "[Jeffery] thinks the Hiltons are just ... lowbrow and that his son is young and should be dating around."

Look at that David. Your father's giving tacit approval to the idea of you fucking around with numerous women, and you're wasting your time getting ensnared with Nicky Hilton, a person whose gender can't even be determined with any degree of certainty? Are you nuts or stupid (or just kinda creepy)?
