Paris Hilton's ex-flack popped up on all the blogs after he showed up for her birthday party looking like a reject from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" -- but he assures TMZ it was just a joke!
TMZ caught Elliot Mintz and some hot glamazon arm candy at The Copa Hyde last night -- and after our interview was interrupted by a tripping runner, he told us his previous look wasn't a case of self-tanner-gone-bad, but actually a Barry Manilow costume.

What is Grammy award-winning singer Macy Gray to do after a show at L.A.'s famed Hollywood Bowl? Hit up the hottest club in town ... with uber publicist Elliot Mintz?
That was the pairing our camera spotted in the wee hours Monday morning, with Mintz leading Macy down the street by the hand.
Move over Brangelina -- make way for Mintzy!

Guns N' Roses guitarist/badass Slash celebrated his birthday last night at Hyde ... where he apparently partied with the one and only ... Elliot Mintz?
TMZ cameras were at the Sunset Blvd. club in Hollywood on Monday as the usually top-hatted musician arrived after dinner with former bandmate Steven Adler at Mr. Chow. And though Mintz, Paris Hilton's go-to PR guy, was there to wish Slash a happy birthday, he told our cameras that neither Paris nor Lindsay were inside the club ... of course everyone now knows where Little Miss Lilo was last night! Also at Hyde: David Spade, Samantha Ronson and Scott Weiland.
In NYC, cameras caught a ripped Mark Wahlberg taking a cameraphone pic with a fan on the streets, while "That 70's Show" stars Wilmer Valderrama and Danny Masterson hooked up at Stereo by the Shore in the Hamptons.
All this and more in today's Slash and burn edition of Star Catcher.

Just because Paris Hilton spent time in the pokey, it doesn't mean her publicist can't hit up the hotspots.
Our camera spotted the ageless Elliot Mintz outside of Hyde last night, where the PR whiz had nuts on the brain, saying, "I had some almonds and some peanuts as well. Almonds, by the way, when they're salted, the sodium is really bad for you." Okay.
And that concludes today's lecture on the pros and cons of nuts. Class dismissed.

After weeks of studying the Bible and working on her fitness, Paris Hilton finally got back to what she does best -- partying at Hyde.
Ms. Hilton has been MIA on the club scene since she was sentenced to jail time, but last night she made a triumphant return to her former stomping grounds to celebrate the club's first anniversary. While Hilton didn't comment on her upcoming stint in the pokey, her rep Elliot Mintz told TMZ she's "doing the best she can."
No DUIs for Paris last night -- her buddy Ashley Scott took the wheel.

Just two days after a judge sentenced her to 45 days in jail for violating her probation, Paris Hilton's longtime publicist Elliot Mintz has announced he is no longer representing the heiress. In court Friday, Paris claimed that it was Elliot who had mistakenly assured her she was able to drive, even though she had a suspended license. The judge, however, didn't buy her claim, and sent her to the slammer.
TMZ contacted Mintz Sunday evening, who issued the following statement:
The day after the hearing, I sent an e-mail expressing my sadness over the ruling of the judge and the irrational sentence he imposed. In that e-mail I also offered my sincerest apology for any misunderstanding she received from me regarding the terms of her probation. To the extent that I have miscommunicated information I received from her attorneys......I am deeply and profoundly sorry. I told her that I assume personal responsibility for my part in this matter. I believe when stated in court that she believed it was o.k. for her to drive under certain circumstances she was being absolutely truthful. Due to this misunderstanding, I am no longer representing Paris. For the record, I have nothing but love and respect for Paris and her family. Paris is a wonderful person and does not deserve the punishment that was handed down by the court. I only wish her my best.

Is this the same Elliot Mintz that used to be a DJ in the '60s?
You may have just dated yourself, Chris! Yes, the Elliot Mintz of today is the same as the Elliot Mintz of the 60's. He used to DJ for KPPC, the underground rock station straight from Pasadena. Mintz can also list the legendary John Lennon as one of his PR clients and personal friends. He worked for nine different radio stations over a ten year period as a disc jockey and radio host. He interviewed over 2,000 people and was the entertainment correspondent for Eyewitness News on KABC in Los Angeles. He is an award-winning journalist, has represented more than 40 clients and currently represents roughly ten individuals whom he chooses not to name.
Of course we know that this bachelor is also the publicist and go-to man for none other than Paris Hilton -- and was quoted in a recent NY Times profile as saying he adores Paris.

In the greatest fashion prat fall of Paris Fashion Week, we learn that fashion and watering buckets equal disaster and more importantly, hilarity. Of course those horrid shoes probably didn't help.
No one steals Moakler's man. Shanna Moakler got in a tussle with heiress Paris Hilton early Wednesday morning. Shanna alleges that Paris posse member Stavros Nairchos shoved her down some stairs. Watch the exclusive video of Shanna's conversation with the police.
Meanwhile, Paris contends that Moakler struck her in the jaw with a closed fist after screaming profanities at her that night. After exiting Hyde, Paris and her publicist Elliot Mintz went to the police station and filed a police report against the "Dancing with the Stars" contestant.

The entire celebrity landcape was both shaken' and stirred when cops busted Paris Hilton for DUI in Hollywood early Thursday morning. Paris' sister Nicky and her boyfriend Kevin Connolly of "Entourage" fame swiftly arrived at the police station along with über-publicist Elliot Mintz to spring the embattled heiress from pokey.
Fresh out of police custody, Hilton's publicist explained Paris' side of the story, including her now infamous "one margarita defense." What do you believe?

On again, off again, on again and maybe off again über-rich couple Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos are, er, on again.
Stavros started off the night at LA hotspot Hyde, arriving and leaving sans Paris.
The pseudo-couple then met up at Paris' house where super publicist Elliot Mintz escorted both parties separately into the house. Are they pulling a Vince and Jennifer and acting as a couple that likes to have a little space? Or are they just good friends?
