Paris and Elliot Mintz Back in Business

Posted May 8th 2007 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Paris Hilton didn't last more than a couple days without her mainstay publicist and trusted advisor Elliot Mintz by her side, and the quickly reconciled pair stepped out last night outside of chez Hilton.

It appears that Paris taught Mintz one of her favorite moves -- the time-honored cell-phone-as-paparazzi-avoidance technique -- demonstrated here to perfection by Mintz.

It's been a tumultuous five days for Hilton and Mintz. In court Friday, Paris blamed the PR guru for misinforming her about her suspended license, then the judge called Elliot's testimony "worthless." Then, the pair announced a separation, briefly ending one of the most visible publicist-client relationships in all of celebdumb, er, celebdom.

But today, Mintz tells TMZ that he and Paris "met last evening and agreed to continue our professional relationship ... I shall continue to respect and support her as her media rep and friend." It's hard out here for a Mintz!

2. I know he is paid to wipe her ass, but really. He should have told her to drop dead when she called him back. No amount of money would be worth working for that bunch of selfish robots.

4. Paris and Elliot,
We weren't born yesterday. We know your "antics" are another media ploy. The judge isn't buying it. Paris - you have never taken responsibility for anything in your life....perhaps now is the time to stop blaming everyone else.

6. I'm sure he was never "fired". It was a ploy, he was to fall on the sword and take the hit for the celebutard, but that didn't work. On to the next ploy in an attempt to keep her out of jail.

7. This whole thing was STAGED. He was never fired..they also created the false strategy to put the blame on Elliot Mintz that she "didn't know" she wasnt supposed to drive. She knew. And then she HAD to "fire" him to follow through...but ofcourse it was all fake so she "rehired" him after a "heart to heart" (oh, please).

This is why Elliot gets paid big bucks. He will do anything for certain clients.

9. SO NOW PARIS WANTS GOV. ARNOLD TO PARDON HER?? HER REASON IS SHE PROVIDES HOPE TO YOUNG PEOPLE .THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE SICK. HOPE FOR WHAT ?? TO SEE YOUR NAKED ASS ON THE INTERNET ? UNDERAGE DRINKING (HOW SHE GOT HER START). DRINKING AND DRIVING ? NOT READING YOUR TRAFFIC CITATIONS ( USUALLY THE TRAFFIC COP VERBALLY TELLS YOU WHAT YOUR BEING CITED FOR)? FIGHTING IN CLUBS ? REALLY PARIS REALITY IS MORE THAN JUST A PROGRAM ON TV.

11. What a weak pathetic spineless creature he is. Is the money worth your soul and dignity??

12. I can't understand why anyone would subject themselves to what he must go through everyday to make Paris's life run smoothly. I'm sure he's well compensated, but the man must have no pride or scruples whatsoever. I wish we could send Paris to Antartica, and make her stay there so we never have to hear about her again! Now that would be a good punishment.

13. Yup... It's a publicity stunt. Anyone that can't see it is naive. She's getting desperate because people are getting bored with her. I'm already bored with her, same old - same old.

14. REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY ? THIS IS HER AND HIS ONE AND ONLY JOB TO KEEP HER NAME OUT THERE.
