day 98

a hilton, assaulted

nicky hilton was assaulted friday night/saturday morning outside of an ihop.  yes, an ihop.  why a millionaire hotel heiress was at an ihop is beyond me.  the incident occurred at 4:15 in the morning when nicky was entering the establishment and was shoved from behind.  her "assaulter" was arrested when an officer, who was actually inside the restaurant, came out to investigate.  it seems that hilton was more "insulted than assaulted," but still its pretty traumatic for the pampered princess.  hilton even placed the attacker under citizen's arrest, an uncommon and unnecessary practice. but, hey, it helped keep her name in the press, right? her attacker, a 50 year old man, was booked for misdemeanor battery in west hollywood and released later in the afternoon, with a court date set for late april.  the story probably won't blow up anymore, but its still funny.

with the oscars yesterday, there's really no big stories today :(
