  • Does Paris really think that we all believe she thought the drug was gum. When she fails the drug test, what will she say ? She's 29 and continues to be a party hound. She probably forgot about the cocaine because she was too high. Running in the fast lane for the rich and famous isn't that much different for real people of the world. So a little advice when you get caught own it and stop embarrassing yourself and those who care about you.
