Paris Hilton bought herself a Bentley for Christmas. But not just any Bentley. She had the body and hubcaps of her Continental LT spray painted Pepto Bismol pink, replaced the trademark Bentley initials with her own, and had the windows tinted so that the paparazzi couldn’t snap photos of her inside. Now she has called the dealer in England, where the car was manufactured, and asked them to “give it more sparkle” – and create a diamond-encrusted dashboard to be shipped to LA and retrofitted into her car.
Paris got one of her guys to phone Bentley in Crewe, where the vehicle was made, to ask if it would be possible to give it a little more sparkle.
“When the man said she wanted to stud the dashboard with a couple of hundred grand’s worth of diamonds, we were stunned.
“We’re used to dealing with the stars so we expect the odd extravagance, but this is something else.”
Paris bought the Bentley in December as a Christmas present to herself.
She had it sprayed pink and the Bentley badge replaced with her own initials. The upholstery, grille and hubcaps are also pink and the car has a tint on the windows to prevent photographs being taken of her inside.
She gushed: “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.’
“I think it just comes from being a fan of Barbie for so long.”

I guess Paris never played with the Astronaut or Working Woman Barbie. Somehow I see her parents special-ordering clothes (all pink) for Paris to play with in her kids-sized playhouse complete with a garage full of Barbie cars in different shades of pink. She probably just dressed the Barbies up, put them in a circle around her, and pranced around in front of them – the perfect audience. Usually, I would say that if Paris has the money for a diamond-encrusted dashboard (almost $300,000 worth), more power to her. But in a worldwide recession, it is nothing less than tacky to flaunt what you have in such an ostentatious way. Especially when the plant where you expect that order to be carried out has been temporarily closed due to the economy.

I hope, in all this, that she at least drives stick. The level of tackiness would go crashing through if all that was driven in automatic.
She seriously wants to put diamonds on her dash? That doesn’t strike me as terribly safe, perhaps she should replace the airbags with forks.
Paris, GROW UP!
TaylorB, you made my day 😀
People by the thousands are losing their jobs, their homes and this is what she turns around and does?
She’s psychotic.
I really resent that she’s out there using up oxygen. I really do.
Um, yeah. A lot of us were fans of Barbie. At age *eight* not *twenty-eight.*
HAH! TaylorB, you’re comment made my day!
Come on, diamonds are the hardest things in the world! If it doesn’t save her it will probably at least scalp her or scratch her face to kingdom come!
It kills me to defend her here, it really does, but isn’t it better to get the money back into the economy than leave it in her bank account? we need MORE ostentatious celebrity purchases right now, not less. Just think how many florists, seamstresses, food workers, etc. etc. etc. ONE celebrity wedding will keep in business! How many women working in a nail salon get to keep their job one more month because Paris or Nicki or Nicole, et al, NEED a $300 mani/pedi, and they need it NOW? Every time a ridiculously overpaid celeb spends, it spreads the wealth a little.
Barb- I have to respectfully disagree with your assertion that Paris’ money is being well spent on such frivolity. It would be much better if she gave the money to a worthwhile charity or to sponsor families in need. As I said before in regard to her $10,000 dog, what has this skank done to help humanity? She promised when she got out of jail that she was going to be a better person and use her money and influence to help others – which I think she promptly forgot once she was released. She is a waste of human existence and I wish she’d disappear. Stories such as this one make me sick.
Agreed. It’s tacky, but hey, as long as she’s flooding her money into the economy, I’m all for it.
Taylor B is my new idol….I really needed a laugh today, thanks!! How long do you think she will have that new dash before the car is stolen from all the publicity??
TaylorB: LOLOLOLOLOL!
If this wretched excuse for a human being wants to get attention for spending money, she should go save someone’s house from foreclosure.
I hate to be so judgemental, but this is disgusting.
I agree with Barb that Paris can help the economy by spending her money, but she should spend it on other people who really need it — buying them groceries, medical care, and other necessities — not on useless baubles for herself.
Now I will avoid Hilton hotels. I don’t want to contribute to Paris’s diamond fund.
Dumb as a sack of hammers. The girl I love to hate.
Paris wins the “Biggest Tool Alive” award. Her latest bff should be thankful she got out alive. It would have been a slow death by retardation.
you know what?
she’s an old crappy BMW.
look how this bitch matches the color of her cars bonnet cuz she’s an oily bonnet…..a mistake of god on earth.
and do you think paris knows the meaning of economy?
im sure shell call it “Euu – not – me”
The car is as ugly as she is!
Now this is an alternate usage for the term famously heard in A Christmas Story… “pink nightmare”.
What a stupid vapid girl. Enough said about this ditzy waste of space.
Ash: A pink nightmare, indeed.
I suppose these days, Bentley’s taking whatever business they can reel in, but how nice would it have been if they’d turned her down? Sorry, Paris, but we refuse to waste one of our cars just to satisfy your idiotic whims.
Perfect dream:
You know what I love about this story? There’s only one probable way for it to end:
Paris Hilton Crushed by Diamonds in Head-On Collision
Los Angeles – Hotel heiress Paris Hilton died in a head-on collision this morning when her diamond-encrusted dashboard failed to act as any sort of safety device whatsoever.
Rescue workers believe Hilton would’ve survived if her car were made of “normal vehicle components and not fucking diamonds like a goddamn moron-mobile.”
The ghost of Charles Darwin also appeared at the scene to deliver a thumbs up before informing bystanders to “intelligently design” themselves in the anus.
Nutter – Bentley would have painted it themselves for her. And how exactly would diamonds “go” with a f*cking quilted (f*cking… quilted!) dashboard?
But you’re right vale, I’d have to crash the thing into her myself if she’s driving an automatic. Even those flappy-paddle gearboxes would do if she couldn’t manage a proper manual gearbox.
She’s too dumb to drive stick.
Trollop… the worlds in ecconomic turmoil and she gets diamonds for her dash…
what i wouldn’t give to slap her!
She really does live in ‘Parisland’…lalaalaala…i’m a brainless bimbo with more money than sense and as fake and materialistically superficial as you can get..but hey I’m happy!!
morgs: Sadly, you’re probably right. It takes at least two functional braincells to manage a stick, which is 1.5 too many in Paris’ case. The half cell tells her lungs to keep taking in air, and that’s about it.
“had the windows tinted so that the paparazzi couldn’t snap photos of her inside” Um how does that work? I can c her
Got to be a huge car insurance bill. Wonder if the little green Geicko gave her a good price.
Im SO sick of her.
She’s getting uglier too, look’s more & more like a tranny every day.
She’ll be sexy at 60 thats for sure!!
VOMMIT.
‘Paris Hilton Crushed by Diamonds in Head-On Collision’
Ohhh What I wouldnt give to see that.
How funny.
Think of all the hungry children that could be fed with that money. She truly is the most self-absorbed, vain, its’-all-about-me celebrity out there.
i cannot stop laughing at that car.
I love this blog, REALLY111
I love diamonds, but that is kind of OTT.
