As I am an Australian, I should probably know. And.. i agree, takes a hell of a lot more to upset us then calling us Aussie. lol. I actaully think its kind of cool. And.. uh about this story. Get over it. We have sales tax. She earns her own money and therefore she has the right to spend it however she likes. It is in fact “Aussie”. As I am an Australian, I should probably know.

Oz = Wizard of Oz or Ozzie Ostrich. We are a pretty laid back lot over here. It would take more than calling us an Aussie to offend us! Haven't you heard the old Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi at the Olympics? For the record – its Aussie not Ozzie.

Don't get me wrong, it's all to benefit people who really need the help, so they're light years ahead of Paris in that regard. But they know that if they give a soundbite to some reporter with a grudge, thereby validating that reporter's slant (ie 'Paris is a selfish money-spender, and see! Head of World Vision agrees with me!') then, when they have a fundraiser that needs promoting, that reporter will write a piece on it. That's what's happened here, I reckon. Oh, and Elisha, I think it's entirely personal preference regarding 'Ozzie' or 'Aussie'. I prefer 'Aussie', but that's because I'm old enough to remember a variety show on TV that had a giant pink Ostrich puppet called 'Ozzie'! Among ourselves, we'll happily call each other Aussie, but I think it's one of those in-jokes, only acceptable when it's said by somebody who's also that way.

Bunnies hop. Paris shops. What an outrage. Thank goodness we have "journalists" to investigate stories like this. Fish swim. Bunnies hop. Paris shops.

What an outrage.

I think it's funny because she didn't spend that much. People in the US go shopping for Vera Wang originals and whatnot, and they spend far more than that (in sometimes even shorter amounts of time). I think that if Paris really wants to help the economy, she should come to NYC to do her shopping. It would probably save me from having to buy a $105 a month MetroCard.

"Oz" is slang for Australia, so, no, I didn't mean "Aussie". (FYI, do not EVER call an "Ozzie" an "Aussie" to their face! Not the ones I've met and worked with throughout my life, anyway. It's like calling California "Cali" ::cringe::) Are you talking to me, bros? “Oz” is slang for Australia, so, no, I didn’t mean “Aussie”. (FYI, do not EVER call an “Ozzie” an “Aussie” to their face!

She is almost in her 30s and speaks and acts like a 18 yr old. It's her money but she should've kept her mouth quiet when she was crying straight out of jail about how many good things she was going to do and how changed she was. It became expected of her but she is still the same selfish and ridiculous "heiress". I prefer Nicole Richie, at least she seems to have grown up and realized there are more important things in life than a cute outfit The thing is that she is immature for her age.
