So apparently Paris Hilton’s billionaire grandfather just announced he will leave 97% of his fortune to charity in the form of a foundation.

This means that Paris, who ostensibly stood to inherit over $100 million will now inherit roughly $5 million.

Ouch. Read all about it here.

Here’s Paris Hilton in her Halloween “sexy Alice in Wonderland” get-up. Creepy - Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be an 9 year-old girl!

No big difference this Halloween than Paris in previous years, but at least it’s a unified concept. More than I can say for Ms. Lavigne.

This isn’t exactly new (it aired 9/28) but I’m putting it up here for any of you who missed it. Letterman basically puts Paris on the spot about what a ridiculous human being she is, and she can’t wriggle out of his grasp. It hurts to watch, but nice to see Letterman not afraid to ask the real questions:

My friends and I just spent an afternoon at our local mall, so I did a “smell test” of sorts with all the new celebrity perfumes on display. Here’s what I came away with (rated on a scale of 1 - 10):

L by L.A.M.B. Gwen Stefani

Bottle: 1 - The bottle without the lid looks perfectly nondescript, except for the big script “L” on one side. The trademark L.A.M.B. Rastafarian colored glass bottle is much less colorful than it looks in this photo. Then you put the lid on, and suddenly it looks like that poor robot in Star Wars on the Jawa desert ship that gets dipped into a bucket of acid.

Scent: 8 - It’s a nice combo of sweet and musky. Definitely an interesting fragrance. Smells like something a cool tomboy would wear on prom night.

COVET by Sarah Jessica Parker

Bottle: 10 - It’s classy and has a pretty gold and green label. The coolest part is the lid, which looks like big gems.

Scent: 5 - Nothing offensive, but nothing particularly special either. This perfume smells like a nondescript sorority sister.

MARIAH CAREY EAU DE PARFUM

Bottle: 2 - Are you kidding me? There’s a butterfly on the top of it! This is the way I thought perfume bottles should look when I was a six year-old. You gotta give Mariah a point higher than Gwen Stefani, though… 7 out of 10 six year-olds say the bottle is pretty.

Scent: 2 - To quote my friend, “Gross! It smells like Sweet Tarts!”

HEIRESS by Paris Hilton

Bottle: 4 - looks a little cheap, but nothing too objectionable. A glittery backing on a clear glass column.

Scent: 1 - The worst one we tested, it smells incredibly sweet. Basically like some artificial flavor of apple or melon bubble gum.

USHER by Usher

Bottle: 8 - The bottle is a pretty peach frosted glass, with a cool silver horseshoe design. It’s nothing ridiculously creative, but looks kind of Versace/cool.

Scent: 9 - By far the best one we tested. This has a mysterious combination of scents that are hard to pin down, but really pleasing to the nose. It smells more mature than a lot of the other ones, and definitely would be fun to wear. Usher wins!
