Tina Brown meets up with Paris Hilton backstage at Saturday Night Live (and no, the blonde fabric of space and time does not rend upon their introduction, though you would be forgiven for thinking so):

In her "SNL" dressing room the 22-year-old, dressed in a seven-inch-long bright pink miniskirt, teetered around like a gorgeous extraterrestrial stork. Her skin has the perfectly smooth, honey-colored finish of Scandinavian furniture. She signed an autograph for my 13-year-old daughter on notepaper she produced from her very own baby pink "Hello Kitty" wallet and adorned the envelope with stickers. "You never grow out of 'Hello Kitty,' do you?" she asked me with an adorable, needy smile.
