You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
If only she could do something about Britney...
This certainly isn't major news, but we couldn't resist commenting on a story with the headline, "Hilton Tries to Help Drunken Elephants." Not that it requires any explanation--OK, it probably does. Paris Hilton is receiving praise for casting light on the problem of, yes, binge-drinking elephants in northeastern India. Apparently, the pachyderms tend to rampage after drinking farmers' homemade rice beer. "The elephants get drunk all the time," she said. "It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them."
Now, we in no way want to make light of a dangerous situation. (Last month, six elephants were electrocuted after getting drunk and knocking over an electricity pole.) But is it not a little curious that a globally known socialite like Hilton is taking on an alcohol-related cause like this? Or that when she was quoted as saying how sad the elephant situation was, she was in Tokyo to judge a beauty contest?
Well, you tell us. Are you glad to see Hilton giving something back to the world, now that she's trying to improve her image after her jail term earlier this year? Does it change your opinion of her? And does the expression "an elephant never forgets" only apply when they're sober?
