PARIS HILTON - HILTON SKIPS OUT ON RESTAURANT TAB

Hotel heiress PARIS HILTON is one of the world's richest women, but that didn't stop her from skipping out on a bill at a cafe in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (31DEC06). The STARS ARE BLIND singer left the remains of her hamburger sitting on a plate at Sloanes Cafe in Paddington and wandered off to continue shopping, having forgotten to pay $9.80 (GBP5) for a mineral water and a frappe. Waitress JO PFAHL tells the Sydney Morning Herald, "She's got bucketloads of money and she didn't pay for her drinks. "(Paris) had a little chat with a waiter up front, then they all got up and walked out without paying." Hilton didn't forget to pay when it came to shopping at Arianne Lingerie next door, where she spent $2750 (GBP1410) on stockings, jewellery, a camisole and a U-bra, an undergarment designed for plunging necklines.
