Paris experiments with the ‘L’ word

It seems the world is safe for pizza delivery boys and male shipping heirs — at least for now. Paris Hilton is reportedly stepping out with the ladies.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, Paris got her French on with “Captivity” cutie Elisha Cuthbert — the pinched-face blondie who also portrayed Jack Bauer’s daughter on “24.”

“They were drinking and dancing, and suddenly they just started kissing," said one spywitness who caught the girlie show at a Meatpacking District hotspot in NYC. Elisha’s rep denied the racy tale, but Page Six says several nightclub patrons confirmed their lengthy lip lock.

Meanwhile, the Meatpacking make-out session was just another stop on Paris’ Sapphic swing, which started days earlier on the opposite coast. In some kind of heirhead power play, Paris joined forces with Courtenay Semel , daughter of former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel and embittered ex-roommate of Paris frenemy Lindsay Lohan.

“Courtenay is so jealous that Lindsay is away and spending time with Stavros Niarchos,” said a Page Six source. “So she's been parading Paris Hilton around to all her lesbian events.” Stavros, you may recall, is the Greek shipping heir whose been romantically connected to Paris, Lindsay and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Courtenay took Paris to Sunset Boulevard lesbian club Falcon, Page Six reports, where the gal pals table-danced the night away. Take that, Lindsay!

Nicole wants her pre-baby body back
Last week marked the first postpartum outing for Nicole Richie, as she and baby daddy Joel Madden hit West Hollywood for a private shindig. Photos showed the “Simple Life” star sporting a healthy figure just two weeks after giving birth to daughter Harlow, but there was no hint of a smile on her face.

Why so glum? Pals told OK! Nicole’s still concerned about the baby weight.

Slideshow: Celebrity Sightings The former skin-and-bones celeb “keeps a food diary,” an insider told the magazine. “She writes down everything she eats and figures out where she can cut calories.” Another source added, "She tries to joke about counting her caloric intake, but everyone knows she's very serious about getting her body back.”

The 11th addition to Becks’ growing gallery of body art, this latest design depicts his “Posh” wife as a bare-breasted angel, surrounded by stars. The new image wraps around an older inscription of Victoria’s name written in Hindi.

“He thinks she’s his angel,” said another insider, “which is why he got an image of her among the stars.” But it isn’t all about Posh. Friends say Becks is well on the way to emulating the lead character on his favorite show, “Prison Break,” whose upper torso is completely covered in tattoos.

Dish on the fly
It wasn’t love at first sight for Michelle Pfeiffer and hubby David E. Kelly. In fact, after their first date, Michelle almost passed the “Ally McBeal” creator on to her sibling. “He talked to my sister and I talked to his friend,” she said of their blind group date in a quote on ContactMusic.com. “And he and my sister seemed to be hitting it off so I thought maybe we should set them up instead. But the friend said don't you dare.” … From the front, she’s all woman, but actress Selma Blair says not everybody gets that from behind. “I had long hair for a while … but I wanted to go back to my Tom Cruise cut,” the “Cruel Intentions” star explained to Elle magazine (excerpted on Digital Spy). “I told my hairdresser to shave the back and leave the front long.” Apparently her sassy new ‘do left some confused. “Then someone thought I was Tom from the back. I guess I'd better wear heels.” Good idea, because Tom would never do that.
