Lauren Conrad Preps For the Holiday Weekend
Lauren Conrad Preps For the Holiday Weekend
Up and about following a night of clubbing the previous evening, Lauren Conrad looked city chic as she headed over to Barneys of New York in Beverly Hills on Thursday (July 3).
The Hills hottie stopped in for a bit of shopping to kick-start the holiday weekend, wearing a colorful tanktop/pant combo with matching shades, a big ring with her name on it and a Chanel bag in tow.
As previously reported by , LC’s shopping trip comes after a night of fun alongside her reality co-star/roomie Lauren Bosworth and a few of their fellow gal pals - with the group taking in the West Hollywood club scene.
The girls, who ran into hotel heiress turned handbag designer Nicky Hilton at both stops, first were spotted at the celebrity-popular Crown Bar before relocating to CocoDeVille to finish off the evening.
Paris Turns Hospital Room Into a Hilton
Paris Hilton is building on her famous name.
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles announced Thursday that the hotel heiress has made an “extremely generous” donation toward the construction of a new 460,000 square-foot medical tower at the downtown facility.
Hospital officials didn’t specify the amount Hilton gave, but said her contribution will trick out a double-patient room in the Childrens Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, which is slated to open in 2010.
“I am so happy and fortunate to announce my support for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles,” Hilton said in a statement. “The children I have met through my [involvement] at Childrens Hospital have truly touched my heart.”
The 27-year-old celebutante started volunteering at the hospital following her release from jail after serving 23 days for DUI. Proceeds from the August launch of her eponymous clothing line at the West Hollywood boutique Kitson also went to the kids, some of whom were at the party to fete the arrival of Hilton’s collection of relatively affordable casual wear.
“The fabulous new hospital facilities at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles will provide a caring, healing environment for children and their families for many years to come,” she continued, “and I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses.”
Perhaps it really does run in the family after all. On Monday, the Chronicle of Philanthropy named Paris’ grandfather Barron Hilton as the No. 1 giver of 2007 on its annual list of America’s top 50 charitable donors.
The elder Hilton announced in December that he had earmarked 97 percent of his multibillion-dollar fortune toward the family’s philanthropic foundation, which supports a range of causes worldwide.
The remaining 3 percent of his estate will eventually be split among his eight children and numerous grandchildren.
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.
Paris and Best Buddies Bite Into Big Apple
Paris Hilton’s in a New York state of mind.
The spotlight-hoggin’ hotel heiress helicoptered from Manhattan to the Hamptons yesterday to shoot her searching-for-a-best-friend MTV reality show. She and the remaining contestants were chauffeured in Cadillac Escalades to the Estate, a private Sag Harbor manse owned by nightlife impresarios Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum.
After enjoying a couple hours of lunch and some poolside lounging, they ’coptered back to Manhattan.
Later in the nightwith cameras in towthey trekked to Tenjune at about 12:30 a.m. and stayed till about 2 a.m. Believe it or not, Ms. Hilton kept things mellow by laying off the booze and drinking Snapple antoxidant water for most of the evening. (Let the pregnancy rumors beginagain!)
Also maintaining control were the show’s producers, who were trying to keep a lid on things and not reveal who the contestants were in the club. “All of a sudden there were a ton of girls everywhere, so you didn’t know who was who,” an eyewitness said. “You really had no idea what they were doing. Paris stayed in one spot, danced, hung out and then left.”
Hilton’s boyfriend, Benji Madden, was by her side looking fresh as a daisy.
And no wonder! On Wednesday night, Madden was at philanthropist Maria Bell’s L.A.-area estate for Cartier’s LoveCharity Bracelet shindig. A source tells me Madden took a shower at Bell’s place before leaving because, he explained to the host, he was about to jump on a plane to New York to meet up with Hilton. Cleanliness is next to godlinessand next to Paris.
