Rick and Kathy Hilton are vying for the Spears award for worst parents ever: 18-year-old Barron Hilton, Paris's little bro, got a D.U.I. this morning. • Are Dita Von Teese and Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean dating? Oddest couple ever. • Friend of Jamie Lynn Spears, Miley Cyrus says that Jamie is "really excited" to be a mom. "I think she's done the best she can," Miley told Us. Let your buddy Jamie be your cautionary whale, Hannah Montana! [TMZ, NY Post, Us]

In an unprecedented gesture, Donatella Versace has named Patrick Dempsey the face of the Versace men's line for not one but two consecutive seasons. Perhaps she's impressed by his track record on the whole "gets hotter every year OMG" front? [Fashion Week Daily]
Speaking of Donatella, Tom Ford agrees with her that Russians are totally hot right now. "Russians are hardwired to appreciate the fine things in life. They have been denied nice things for years." Um, tell that to Boris Berezovsky's mistresses Tom! [Vogue UK]
Victoria's Secret is holding competitions for college-aged women to model in their runway shows alongside the "real" models. This is a bid to get more college-aged students to buy their slave labor manufactured lingerie, and given what we know of college-aged girls, it will probably work. [WSJ]
Kate Hudson: "I'm trying not to shop anymore. I've gotten in the habit of making phone calls when I see something and saying, 'Please, when that comes in, can you send it?'" How quaint! [WWD, 1st item]

Kathy and Rick Hilton are maybe going to buy recently-bankrupted French shoe company Charles Jourdan, and talks are already in the works about a Kathy Hilton for Charles Jourdan shoe line, which is a good thing because there is such a dearth of consumer products currently available that can boast to being endorsed by someone named "Hilton," you know? [WWD, sub req'd]
Says Roger Vivier designer Bruno Frisoni: "I wasn't comfortable doing accessories before I met Christian Lacroix. He taught me to have fun in fashion and to be 'désinvolte' — to not be afraid of bad taste, which is especially important in fashion because sometimes if you have bad taste, it's good." Dude, totally. [Fashion Week Daily]
Kate Moss: Now officially a member of Who's Who! [Vogue UK]
Estee Lauder is being sued by fellow cosmetics company Nefeli, which is a Chinese, herb-based line. Nefeli had signed a secret pact with Lauder where it would allow them to sneak a peaks at samples of their products and technology. But, uh, then the Lauder folks just reverse-engineered that shit and sold it under their Origins brand. Um, so what did you think they were going to do with that intellectual property you were selling them, guys? [WWD, 2nd item]

Palms casino/hotel owner George Maloof may pay Paris Hilton's dad the 50Gs he's asking for for the privilege of hosting Paris' Get-Out-Of-Jail Bash.
George Maloof: "The one who once hooked her up with Britney Spears." What an achievement!
Meanwhile, (same item, folks!) "Girls Gone Wild" mogul Joe Francis looks fondly ahead to his own after-prison bash, a party that will be replete with "car thieves, drug dealers and murderers" at Hyde in LA. But he's in no hurry to get out of jail, mind you! "My cell is actually nicer than my USC dorm room." Also! "My heart goes out to Paris." (And what a heart it is!) [Page Six]
Dina Matos McGreevey court filings accuse her ex-husband and former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevy of badmouthing her in the gay community, which then sabotaged sales of her tell-all. We aren't buying it. Um, Dina? "Badmouthing in the gay community" is also known as "word-of-mouth marketing" in this town, and if sales dropped off that's because the book's sex scenes sucked, which is prob because... you married a gay, bitch! [NY Post]
Check forging socialite Dori Cooperman is trying to cozy up to Lindsay Lohan in rehab, and Lindsay's "friends" are all "it won't work" and we are all "it will so work." [Page Six]
Bad mommy/crazy lady actress Anne Heche loses custody of her kids and seeks solace in the arms of Ethan Hawke, pussy. [Page Six] [Gatecrasher] [E! Online]
