Paris Hilton / Paul McCartney
You may have heard that sometime aspiring pop star Paris Hilton is hot on the reality-televised trail for a British best friend. And she's already ruled out Amy Winehouse. But who better to fill the slot than Paul McCartney? It doesn't get more British or Best -- he's a Beatle, for chrissakes!

It seems Hilton was in hot pursuit of McCartney backstage at this year's Grammys -- she reportedly asked him to consider recording a duet with her [via The Sun], explaining "I'm a singer too and have had an album out." His response? "I'll have to check my schedule."
Undaunted, Hilton allegedly proceeded to compliment McCartney on his "cute" hair: "It's just like in the Beatles." But unlike on Hilton's reality show, compliments on coiffure don't necessarily lead to everlasting friendship when talking to Macca.
Still, you can't blame a girl for trying. After all, McCartney is known for employing his own less-than-conventional methods when it comes to pursuing collaborations.
If Sir Paul ever agrees to do a duet with Paris I swear on all things Beatles I will get my Beatles tattoo removed and never respect that man again!
Imagine Paul McCartney on auto-tune, it would be too perfect. Paris' head would be likely to explode.
I honestly laughed until I cried when I first saw this. I thought it was an early April Fool's day joke. Sadly, I should have known better. I'll say this for Hilton, although I'm disgusted by that fact that someone like her would even get to meet/see Sir Paul in concert, you have to give her a little credit for her audacity to even ask such a question. I would say "Let's hope she was joking", but I doubt she's self aware enough to be anything less than serious.
Got something to say?
