Just when I thought I had written my last Paris Hilton blog (hold your applause) I get word that the world has stopped revolving and people have actually gone mad… all because of Paris Hilton… or at least Paris Hilton’s trash.
Allow me to explain. A while back a couple of jokesters from the website HollywoodTrash.com rummaged through the hotel heiress’ trash and placed their finds on eBay. Some of the items that were recovered from the socialite’s garbage include a used toothbrush, an autographed postcard and a fan letter to the reality TV star. All of the aforementioned items are currently up for bid on eBay. When I last checked, the toothbrush had a bid of nearly $300.
If you think that’s insane wait to you hear about the piece of trash that is getting the most attention… and generating the highest bids. According to news reports, an empty can of gourmet dog food plundered from Hilton’s trash had launched an eBay bidding war reaching $1.5 million.
What did I tell you about the world ceasing to spin on its axis? Frankly, I think the entire sale smells as bad as Hilton’s trash. As for the $1.5 million bid, I think it reeks of illegitimacy. I see it going the way of General Lee.
Even the guys from HollywoodStarTrash guys say they doubt the bid is real. Though the bidder’s eBay profile reportedly shows the person has gotten no complaints from sellers. Regardless, eBay officials said they plan to investigate and promise to pull the bid if it proves to be a hoax. (F.Y.I–Bidding on Hilton’s trash ends Sunday.)
No matter how well the Trash guys do hocking Hilton’s trash on eBay, there’s one person who has already struck gold from their finds—-the owner of Party Animal Inc., the West Hollywood business that markets Party Animal organic gourmet dog food (a.k.a. the company that makes the food Hilton feeds her pets).
The owner of the dog food company says business has doubled since word got out that an empty can of Party Animal food was uncovered in the celebutante’s trash. Party Animal, which sells for about $3 per can, is reportedly a favorite of Hilton’s Chihuahua. The company’s owner says the millionairess ia one of his best customers and buys the dog chow by the case.
What? Hilton, pampers her pooch… gee, I would have never guessed.
