Scene in the Tropics

Lohan out, Hilton in.

Lindsay Lohan will not be at the Fontainebleau events this weekend. We repeat, she will not be here. Instead, Paris Hilton will. After all, the FB used to be a Hilton. And we're sure that's exactly why Hilton will be here. It's been a while since she's been down here and we're sure all her wanna be BFF's will welcome her with open arms.

Paris Hilton and Pure, Not an Oxymoron

It's been a blissful while since we've seen Paris Hilton prancing about town. Enjoy it while it lasts. Hilton, we discovered, has a staggering $1.2 million contract with Pure Management Group---the owners of Vegas hot spots LAX and Pure and, coming this October, a mammoth 26,000 square foot mega club in the Fontainbleau, which is currently in the throes of a $1 billion nip/tuck---which means she will likely be contractually obligated to be down here hosting parties at the yet to be named Miami Beach club as well. The club will also have a sister restaurant (the Nicky to the club's Paris?).  PMG managing partner Robert Frey is pretty psyched, telling us, "We are thrilled to bring this concept to a great city like Miami Beach and at an amazing property like the Fontainbleau."  Luckily for us, Hilton isn't the only PMG regular. Among the group's biggest fans: Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan (of course), Jude Law, Cameron Diaz and George Clooney. For celeb stalkers, well, that's just pure bliss.

What's Old Is New Again For Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton's not only a hero, she's a recycler! After going through a few rolls of boytoys, she's now back with old flame Stavros Niarchos. The two reunited in Miami last weekend when she was here hawking her new scent. But sources tell us that Niarchos didn't come to Miami for Hilton. "He was heading down there with friends and had no plans to see her." However, sources tell us that Hilton's motivation for coming to Miami was less about Can Can and more about Want Want, knowing Niarchos would be here. "She really likes him," says someone closer than they should be to Hilton. "He's the only guy who she'll always have feelings for." The on again (for now) couple was spotted kissing and holding hands at Mokai Thursday night--and then seen entering the Versace mansion together at 4am.

Who Needs Art When You've Got Tart?

You knew Paris Hilton wouldn't come to Miami without a stop by at least one Opium Group-owned boite, which is exactly what she's doing tomorrow night at 11:30 pm when she skanks  slinks up the red carpet at Mansion as part of her promotional tour for her new fragrance, Can Can. We can't can't.

More in Paris news: She will be making a special appearance at Cameo on Friday night when Vegas showman Jeff Beacher brings his Madhouse to the SoBe club in the form of the Oompa Loompas. Yes, they are little people and, according to Beacher, "Their routines are insane. It's my hottest act."

Paris Hilton's Making Some Scents

Paris Hilton is in town this week to promote her new fragrance, CAN CAN Paris Hilton. Hilton will be at Macy’s at the Dadeland Mall on Thursday, December 6^th from 7pm-9pm. The first 300 customers to make a pre-sale purchase of $74 worth of CAN CAN products, not including value sets, will get a VIP pass to meet the heiress and receive a personalized, signed photo. Says Hilton, “I wanted to create a fragrance that expresses a mood of sparkling elegance. Something that would make me feel wonderfully sexy and glamorous. And that is just what happens when I wear CAN CAN.” Say what you will, but, hey, at least she's wearing something this time! We also hear Hilton may be making an appearance at Aqua Art Miami, the Sundance of art fairs in Wynwood , premiering December 4 from 5 until 8 pm with a Zyr Vodka happy hour. Just follow the scent. We're sure it'll be most pungent.  Update: Hilton is having dinner at The Forge Thursday night with owner Shareef Malnik, in case you want to stalk and gawk.

Maybe Joe Francis Will Be Out By the Time Paris Gets Here

Mark your calendars, kids. Paris Hilton is coming back to Miami, opportunistically during Art Basel, with a December 6 in store appearance somewhere for her latest scent, L'eau du Ho. Kidding. We're sure it will be classy. Just like her.

Paris? Bull#$@t

Straight from the Versace Mansion, where the Bullrun party was in full swing, we encountered a ton of just out of jail drivers, many from foreign countries who posted bail and didn't care about their next day court dates, but no Paris Hilton. When asked about the soon to be jailed heir-head, one driver told us, "They kept telling us she'd be here, but no one really cared either way. All we care about is getting out of jail and making it down to Key West." In fact, Hilton had some serious competition at the Bullrun party. One wife eagerly and proudly told us, "I didn't get arrested, but my husband did!" MySpace "celebrity" Tila Tequila was at the Bullrun party in Montreal, but not in Miami. "Last year seemed to get a lot of celebrities," said one driver. "This year, it seems the focus is more on the actual road trip, not the celebrities." The major concern of drivers tonight was how to get down to Key West tomorrow without major disasters. "I'm just going to cruise down," said a driver. "At this point, who cares?" Yeah, really. Who cares?

Paris at Versace Tonight: Bull or No Bull?

So Paris Hilton's jail sentence has been reduced because of good behavior--what, riding a bike to Kitson instead of being driven there in a Bentley constitutes good behavior?---but people continue to doubt whether Hilton will actually be on her best behavior at Casa Casuarina tonight for the big Bullrun party. Casa still thinks her presence is a very real possibility, but those close to the heiress have told us otherwise. Says one Hilton insider: "Honestly, there's NO way in HELL she is going. Bullrun people won't admit it because they want the exposure, but I don't even think she can leave the state of California." As for the Bullrun people, well, they're  busy tracking the number of driver arrests as they made their way through the ruthless state of Georgia. Forget Paris. We can't wait to hear how many get busted, trying to speed their way down US1 to Key West.

Update: Casa sources tell us they met with the party's organizers this morning, who insist Paris is still coming. We'll see.

Just spoke to Perez Hilton, who says he doubts Paris is coming..he usually knows!

Is Paris Hilton a Flight Risk?

The crazy Bullrun Rally hits Miami this coming week en route to its final destination of Key West, and is making a pit stop at Casa Casuarina on Thursday night. Among the celebs driving in the rally: MySpace's Tila Tequila, Jackass's Ryan Dunn and, yes, allegedly, Paris Hilton, whom the official Bullrun site says "Avoids Jail to Participate in Bullrun." While we can't officially confirm whether or not Hilton will be driving a brand new Stryker from Montreal to Key West, we do know some people are worried. Says one source, "If Paris is still coming, I hope she's  not driving." If she is, we're sure Nancy Grace will be on the case to bust her.

Update: After we posted this item, TMZ checked things out and is reporting that Paris will be chauffered down here to host the Rally party at Versace Mansion Thursday night. By whom, we wonder, her absurdly devoted bodyguard lackey cell phone holder publicist Elliot Mintz? We'll be on the lookout and keep you posted.

Miami Suffers from Paris-itis (There Is No Cure)

On Saturday night, Paris Hilton hit Prive’s “Couture Assassins” event with a sweaty and  bloated Brandon Davis and a few other friends, running downstairs to the main door a half an hour later to fetch her flavor of the week, Stavros Niarchos, throwing her arms around his neck and saying “My honey is here!” Paris promptly ordered a bottle of Stoli Elite vodka to the table, but apparently couldn’t wait the few minutes for the waitress to deliver it to her table, because she leaned over to the neighboring table of graffiti artists in town for Art Basel and asked them if she could mix a drink from their bottle. Legendary street artist Futura genuinely seemed like he had no clue who she was, but happily agreed nonetheless. Later in the night, with her vodka and red bull fix in seeming to have taken effect, she jumped on the couch to dance to “Bette Davis Eyes.”
