Paris Hilton appeared on a German TV show yesterday wearing a custom-made soccer jersey with “Hilton” written on the back. She said she thought Germany’s soccer player Lukas Podolski was “hot,” but Podolski is from Poland and just plays for Germany.
Host Stefan Raab: “So, you like Lukas Pudolski?”
Paris: “I don’t know him, I just think he’s really good looking. He’s an amazing player.”
Stefan Raab: “First he comes from Poland, but then he comes from Cologne. You’re single at the moment? Maybe I can arrange something between you and Lukas Podolski. Wouldn’t it be nice? Paris Podolski?”
Paris, laughing: “I wish them luck on Friday.”
Here’s the clip, courtesy of The Wade Blogs:
Paris next directed an on-stage soccer tournament with blindfolded players shouting “Harder Harder! Kick it forward hard! Kick it in!” You can watch that segment here.
The Wade Blogs points out that Paris has been saying she wants to get with various soccer players as she promotes her album in Europe. Some of her quotes in the British press are rather suspect, though:
(excerpt) “I think Lukas is the sexiest man on the pitch. I would really like to meet him.” In fact, she claims her life right now is all about soccer  and cooking. She enthused: “I am a keen football fan. And I can cook really well  although you wouldn’t think it to look at me.” Paris admitted she is keen to become a mum once she has found the right fella. She explained: “He needs to be honourable and make me laugh. I want a baby within the next five years.”
Pitch.. keen.. come on! There is no way our bubbly blonde uses English colloquialisms in her everyday vernacular. The above excerpt had to be penned by PR flack/hack. We sincerely doubt Paris has ever heard the word “keen” (in fact we’d bet the only keen she’s ever heard are the Brit band named Keane). Next thing they are going to tell us is that Paris is burning to replace “That’s hot” with her knew turn of phrase “That’s keen.”
Now that Paris has almost ruined the careers of quarterback Matt Leinart and hockey player Jose Theodore the sports world is interested in her. ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon debated Paris’ love life on their show “Pardon the Interruption” this week:
Wilbon went on to predict that Paris would be linked to 27 athletes by the end of the decade.
It does look like Paris is fixated on athletes, although some are bound to take their teammates advice like Matt Leinart and stay far away from the herpes-laden heiress.
Paris said earlier in this German interview “I think German guys are really hot.” I can attest to that, since my husband is German. If the German game of the World Cup wasn’t on now I might have asked him to translate some of the German in that video.
Germany is now playing Argentina in the World Cup, and Argentina is unfortunately up by one goal. Lukas Podolski got a yellow card four minutes into the game.
Update Germany won in nail-biting penalty kick overtime!
Here is Paris promoting her CD in Cologne on June 27th. She wearing those dumb yellow shoes with the giant bows again. [via]
