Paris Hilton snapped in Southampton

READ THE GOOD CHARLOTTE REVIEW ON SCENESOUTH

SHE is known the world over, gracing the covers of celebrity magazines and living the high life.

But celebrity socialite Paris Hilton had to make do with rather less glamorous surroundings when she visited Southampton yesterday.

The star was in town to meet up with her boyfriend Benji Madden, guitarist with American punk popsters Good Charlotte.

The band, who have had several hits including Lifestyles of the Rich And Famous and The Anthem, played the second show of their UK tour at Southampton Guildhall to a packed out crowd last night.

Miss Hilton, who has been seeing the guitarist since February, has joined the band on the road for their six-date UK tour. Outside Southampton's top music venue, a crowd of paparazzi photographers gathered, waiting for a glimpse of the hotel heiress, Inside the gig, the 27-year-old could be spotted watching from the side of the stage, protected by a team of minders. But despite the media frenzy, fans insisted they were not fazed by the presence of the multi-millionairess.

Devoted Good Charlotte fan Kim Thorn, from Weston, Southampton, said: "We waited outside the Guildhall from 4pm but we weren't waiting to see Paris, we wanted to see the band.

"It's the music we are interested in, not Paris Hilton."

Miss Hilton, who in 2006 released her own debut album Paris, is heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune and has appeared in a number of hit reality TV shows such as The Simple Life. Last year she spent two days in jail for violating probation for driving offences.

Despite her family being hotel magnates, it is reported that when in Liverpool earlier this week she stayed in a city centre hotel with rooms from just £45.

What's the betting that within twentyfour hours someone is predicting that she has arrived because she wants to buy the football club!
All the SFC customers are walking around looking like Wurzle Gummage where they have been clutching at straws!

The Echo quoted: Paris Hilton had to make do with rather less glamorous surroundings when she visited Southampton yesterday

Isn't the Daily Echo supposed to get behind the city not slag it off?

But there's not point in trying to claim the Guildhall is as glamorous as Beverley Hills.

She's with Joel, Paris is with Benji, and the fact I know that makes me very sad.

if at least she could point out the need of an ice rink in town!

It's a damning indictment of this forum that comments on the Paris Hilton twaddle outnumber those on the story about EIGHT HUNDRED new jobs being created in the city by roughly four to one.
You're all tragic and so am I... ****

Bloody hell Daily Echo. What about reporting some news. There’s plenty, but you choose to have a story about Slough Travel Lodge, a spoilt excon junkie **** actress who craves attention and whose only talent seems to be for spending obscene amounts of money on handbags and shoes. etc etc.

"Paris Hilton snapped in Southampton"

I read this story thinking that Ms Hilton had flown off the handle and possibly lamped a few people.

kim thorn?
was she the woman with who ate all the pies and enjoyed loudly expressing her own opinion? who shoved everyone to the back of the que and then allowed HER friends in?
why on earth did she get an interview?
i think the word hypocrit was created for her.

Paris, is heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune
Not any more.
Grandpa was so hacked off at her behaviour he has changed his will.
So she's dumb, skinny, talentless
and not even that rich.
Bye Paris.
