Paris Gives Lindsay a "Second Chance"
Maybe Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have put "Firecrotch" behind them after all -- and it looks like after her stint in the slammer, Paris is through being the queen B ... as in bee-yotch.
TMZ caught the two Hollywood princesses prancing on the beaches of Malibu over the holiday at the same house, and Rush & Molloy report that their interaction was "cordial." That's because Paris "has decided to give Lindsay a second chance." Really -- but why? "Paris was known as a bully ... If a friend didn't like Lohan, then she wouldn't like Lohan. But she's through taking sides. She realized who her real friends were when she was in jail -- and there weren't many."
Meanwhile, the L.A. Times reports that a UCLA undergrad has been cursed with Paris' old phone number -- and the bizarre calls (from rappers, random wannabes and desperate fans) that come with it. The young woman -- Shira Barlow -- has been thanking people for their support, even though she doesn't know 'em at all.

Of course, there's no way to know how much input Madonna's had in her investments, but according to FOX, the foundation has $4.2 million invested in corporate stock.

George Foreman isn't quite done in the ring, even though he's got more money than he can imagine from the Grill and other ventures, he tells Chris Yandek of TheSportsInterview.com.
