In addition to the Bentley, there was a black Range Rover in her driveway when I drove by earlier this year- the SLR was parked on the street!

An F360 too. She always leaves them all parked at odd angles with their alloys scuffed up against the curb out front.

Her SLR is the best color I've seen though.

The SLR was actually owned by Club Paris which is a night club; she was on contract with the club for appearances/promotions. The car was listed on Ebay a week ago by the owner of the Club that’s how I know.

They'll probably make money on that car since Paris used it, no?

Paris Hilton does not live in a huge house. She lives on the way up to one of my best friends houses in the Hollywood Hills. Her home is approx 2800sq ft.

The Osbournes house is SUBSTANTIALLY larger than Paris's home. Not even close to the same realm. The Osbournes home if I remember correctly is in the vicinity of 11,000 sq ft.

Why does Paris live in a small house? She's not known for her modesty, is she?
