Hayden Panettiere: Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere has spoken out in defence of Paris Hilton's airheaded party girl image - insisting the heiress is actually a "genius".

Panettiere, 19, who has been a close friend of Hilton's for several years, says the 27-year-old socialite is actually more level-headed than the dumb "character" she projects to the media.

She explains, "She's a nice girl and a lot brighter than people give her credit (for) but no one sees her like that because she plays this character all the time. She's actually a marketing genius."

Alexander McQueen: I Don't Need Paris Hilton's Business
Designer Alexander McQueen doesn't want his new L.A. store on Melrose Avenue to be a magnet for young stars like Paris Hilton "If she comes past the shop, hopefully she'll just keep walking," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I don't really covet that sort of thing." Hilton, meanwhile, is on tour with beau Benji Madden's band Good Charlotte. "I've never felt so happy and in love, [Benji] is such an amazing guy and life has never been better!" she wrote on her MySpace blog Tuesday.

Rupert won’t Grint and bear LA
Rupert Grint has cooled on a move to Los Angeles because he can’t be bothered with airhead actresses. He’s a top lad Rupe, the best actor in the Harry Potter films – and I like the cut of his jib with his latest thoughts on Tinsel Town. He is worried about investing in a US pad like co-star Daniel Radcliffe because he can’t face bumping into the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Rupert, who plays Ron Weasley in the wizard movies, said: “I met Lindsay last summer and she talked a

Search for Paris’ new BFF not going so well
The search for Paris Hilton’s new best friend is not going as well as the heiress would have hoped. The first kink in the plan? The turnout at the New York City casting call for “hot bitches and fierce guys” turned out a paltry 40 to 50 people, according to most reports from insiders. In fact, at least one media outlet that was genuinely interested in doing a story on the process of casting the newest Hilton hanger-on was told at the last minute that no press would be better than any press. Hilton

Oh, Brother
Paris Hilton's stupid ideas just got stupider. The heirhead, who is dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, now wants to have a double wedding with best friend Nicole Richie, who is engaged to Madden's brother Joel. Hilton, who is not even engaged to Benji, said she wants to do it in order to sell the pictures from the wedding and thinks she could rake in millions, said one pal. "She's doing it all for attention, as usual," said the friend. "It's a publicity stunt, just like everything else."
