These are worrying financial times for us all. The world is in recession, the credit has been crunched and even Madonna's keeping an eye on the finances (though Guy Ritchie is popping champagne corks like bubble-wrap). So in these desperate times it only seems right that Paris Hilton should choose this moment to take possession of a pimped-up Bentley worth $200,000. Sorry, make that a pimped-up Bentley worth $200,000 sprayed Barbie pink on Paris' instructions.

The odious heiress has basically laughed in the face of poor people by plopping her bony arse in the gaudy vehicle. You see, she like, just asked Santa for the car and it basically, like totally appeared in her driveway. This is the level of sophistication Paris is rolling with.

 

"I've just always wanted a pink car. I think when you're a little girl and you have the Barbie Corvette you're always like, 'Oh I wish I had a car like this one day,' so I think it just comes from being a fan of Barbie for so long."

 

Yes, it just comes from being a fan of Barbie. And being an heiress to a multi-billion fortune. Despite the fact that the interviewer from Hollyscoop.com was chewing his own lips from his face with hatred and frustration, Paris continued to talk, probably hiding behind her Chihuahua and pretending the bug-eyed, scrawny little mite was doing the talking (though who can tell the difference?).

 

"This is a car that I cannot drive every single day but I will be driving a lot. They put on protective tint on the windows so no paparazzi flashes can come through."

 

Or it could be that the windows are tinted so that the general public don't have to see this little princess's smug, grinning face as she drives past them going about their mundane, and ultimately poor lives? There's a thought - if you put 'princess', 'Paris' and 'car' into Google you'd never imagine what results come up. You can only hope, eh?
