Paris Hilton: Back In Benji’s Arms

Paris Hilton: Back In Benji’s Arms

She’s been in the Big Apple filming footage for her new MTV reality show and it seems that Paris Hilton is making full use of New York City’s endless supply of designer clothes.

To kick off the evening, Miss Hilton was spotted in midtown Manhattan in a belted white retro-looking dress teamed with red heels and an oversized black handbag.

The former “Simple Life” starlet swapped into a lacey black ensemble with a massive pearl necklace and a floral headdress as she continued making her rounds - heading over to a Korean karaoke bar before venturing off to TAO nightclub for an exclusive VIP party.

Never one to end an evening too soon, the hotel heiress met up with boyfriend Benji Madden, who just flew in from Los Angeles, ending the night at Tenjune before heading back to their luxury hotel.

Wait…Is That? Actually, No

Carly Smithson, American Idol: Season 7

So, what's the story behind that rather large Amy Winehouse tattoo on Carly Smithson's arm?

It's not an Amy Winehouse tattoo.

"It's a geisha," the eliminated American Idol contestant told reporters today, laughing. "It looks nothing like Amy Winehouse."

Well, apparently it looks a wee bit like the Grammy-winning songstress, because reporters weren't the only ones wondering about the likeness.

"Everybody keeps asking me why I have Amy Winehouse on my arm," she said. "I've had it two years before even Amy Winehouse came out."

According to Smithson, even Andrew Lloyd Webber, who mentored the Idol finalists this week, inquired as to why her upper arm paid tribute to the "Rehab" singer.

The confusion stems from people mistaking the headdress on Smithson's geisha for Winehouse's beehive. Smithson said the problem should be fixed once she has the tattoo colored ina finishing detail she wasn't able to get to because of the show.

Which she's no longer on. Which means Smithson can get back to the tattoo shop.
