pink champagne on ice

It was fun to watch the media stake out Paris Hilton's house on the DirecTV News Mix channel this afternoon. Using the News Mix as my guide, I flipped between Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. I tried E! and the soon-to-be-renamed Court TV too but their coverage was too sporadic. At first I thought that Fox News was the only channel to have live updates from Harvey Levin of TMZ.com but then I saw him doing the same thing a few minutes later on CNN. I forget which channel I had on when they went from Paris coverage to a commercial for Hilton Hotels. No kidding.

On MSNBC, I saw Robert Kovacik of KNBC get a little roughed up as the police cars drove Paris to court. Robert's sister Becca used to work as a publicist. She would call me to book her clients as guests on KROQ and KLOS.

Jake Byrd, a character from "Jimmy Kimmel Live" could be heard on CNN expressing his "dismay" over the re-incarceration of Paris. The full story will undoubtedly turn up on tonight's Kimmel show.
