Paris Hilton - Paris Hits Back At Cocaine Rumours

PARIS HILTON has hit back at reports a suspicious white substance that appeared in her nose, when she was photographed in New York City this week (beg11DEC06), was cocaine. The New York Post printed a photo of the socialite and suggested that there was a suspicion of white powder in one nostril. The shot was taken after Hilton and friend BRANDON DAVIS had enjoyed a lunch together and were leaving in her car. Hilton's representative ELLIOT MINTZ slams the rumours saying, "They asked me if Paris was using cocaine. I explained that she does not use narcotics. "They asked what the substance could have been. I explained that I was not there... so I offered some possible explanations." Mintz insists Hilton won't be asking the newspaper for a retraction at this point, but added she might consider suing them in the future. He adds, "They did not make a specific charge. So, I am inclined to let it be for the moment. Of course, Paris shall reserve all of her legal options."
