Paris in the springtime.

I'm someone who's generally more inclined to laugh at Paris Hilton rather than with her.

Unless, of course, it comes to the thing that made her the inescapable monster that she is today: The stupid, stupid media:

Turns out, as some outlets later discovered, the "mystic" was an actor named Maxie Santillan Jr., who has appeared on CSI and My Name Is Earl. And though some accused Hilton of getting Punk'd, the joke's on them: The entire scene was staged for a new show from Punk'd producer Ashton Kutcher premiering Sunday on E! (10:30 ET/PT).
Pop Fiction, an eight-episode series, is a prank show targeting paparazzi and gullible media outlets.

Okay, Paris. Just this once: Here's to you (lifts up fizzy caffeinated nonalcoholic beverage).
