Paris admits the truth

or she was just trying to fool the cops. Media whore. I say it's the bong resins in her brain talking.

Paris Hilton has confessed she is "not that smart" in a newly-released police interview tape.The recording was made when the star helped officers with an investigation into a burglary at the house of Hollywood porn baron Joe Francis.

Hilton had previously tipped off the movie producer that she heard a man boasting he was behind the crime.

Having interviewed the offender, however, police called Hilton in to ask her if she could help with the prosecution. "Like I really, I don't remember," she is heard to tell them on the recording, which was uncovered by US television show Dateline. She added: "I'm not, like, that smart. I forget stuff all the time."

The man in question, Darnell Riley, admitted the offence earlier this year and was sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison.

On the tape Hilton also complains to police that someone had tried to blackmail her for the return of 'private tapes' which were stolen from her home. She said an anonymous caller tried to sell them back to her but that she had refused."They were tryin' to sell it to like a newspaper or something," she explained. "So if you pay somebody, then you're gonna be paying for the rest of your life. My dad always taught me. They'll keep the tape anyway."

Harry + Lindsay R.I.P.

Wow. weren't they just eating each other's faces off in Hawaii? Oh, and I call BullShit....when you're in your 20's, you definitely DO get dumped.

Lindsay Lohan and Harry Morton split up Thursday, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE – but now they seem to be speaking again.

"They are together now," Lohan's rep tells PEOPLE. A source close to the actress adds: "They argue, they don't argue." At the moment, "They're communicating. They're hanging out. Whatever's going to transpire there is going to transpire."

The outlook for the couple was more dire on Thursday. "Harry broke up with Lindsay yesterday at Chateau Marmont after they had dinner on the courtyard patio," a source tells PEOPLE. "Nothing happened at dinner, but shortly afterward, he broke up with her."

Why the split? "She was too much drama," says a source close to Harry.

"Lindsay did cut down on the partying, but with her it's all relative. Harry is sober. It wasn't the partying that broke them up. Harry's more low-key and not into the same stuff she's into." However, the Lohan pal says, "No one 'dumped' anyone. You don't dump people when you're 20 and 25. You have a mature relationship, and you take a break and you see what happens. Everyone does that."

Indeed, Lohan, 20, was spotted at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont on Thursday, running onto the patio where four of her friends were sitting – and weeping, a wad of tissues on one hand, her cell phone in the other. "She ran in, sat with her group, put down her cell phone and cried to her pals," an observer tells PEOPLE.

"The group looked very concerned and listened intently to what she was saying." After the Chateau, Lohan went to Hyde Lounge, where she arrived around 12:30 a.m. and stayed until the hot spot closed at 2 a.m. She mingled with friends and didn't appear to be distraught: "She was having a blast," says one patron, "even with a broken hand." Lohan's rep tells PEOPLE, "The story is untrue."

Lohan and Morton, 25, owner of the restaurant chain Pink Taco and son of former Hard Rock Cafe chain owner Peter Morton, started dating on July 2.

Their relationship started out promisingly: They spent a cozy Fourth of July week in Malibu lounging at Morton's pad (where they blasted Led Zeppelin over the speakers), dining at Nobu, shopping at the Malibu Country Mart and going out with pals. By mid-month, the lovebirds were nearly inseparable.

Among their many outings: holding hands at the Prada party in Beverly Hills on July 13, hitting hot spot Les Deux with pal Nicole Richie on July 14 and celebrating David Spade's birthday together on July 15. "They get along great and have a lot in common," a source told PEOPLE in July.

Morton had been credited with Lohan's recently toned-down lifestyle – and helped her through more than one sticky situation: He was on the scene when she was briefly hospitalized on July 26 (her camp blamed dehydration and exhaustion) and subsequently missed work on her upcoming drama Georgia Rule.

He was also there for her when her Hermes handbag went missing at London's Heathrow airport earlier this month after they attended the premiere of Lohan's upcoming film Bobby at the Venice Film Festival.

'you look so hot btw'

-lindsey laughs-

gross

but to continue yes lots a hilarious dialogue heard from the party. i dont think i should really go more into detail than that about the conversations... they were kind of disgusting. especially nicky, shes really raunchy.... pole dancing with perez and i! and she kept calling everyone in the bathroom a coke whore, which was probably true but still.

i just laughed lounging on the emilio pucci couch, and then we headed back upstairs to sit on the fendi couches. p.s. paris's underwear were laying around the bathroom everywhere. it was kind of cute but..... kind of not at all.

Guilty Pleasure

I cannot get over all the stuff that's on YouTube.com. I was ecstatic to find "Fascination Street" by The Cure:

*Points and laughs*

altho I would like to get my hands on a Banksy duplicate! funny how she never sang live at her promo parties. So I hear.

Paris Hilton: No More Singing

Well, it was a fun idea while it lasted. But Paris Hilton’s debut album has sold a paltry 120,000 copies. It’s already pretty much off the charts, too.

With new releases from Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and other big actual recording stars, Paris’ foray into the music business is about to become a Trivial Pursuit question.

However, the melody lingers on like bad fish. The costs on Paris are said to be ridiculously high, probably around $1 million considering travel, video and dog food. The album itself was also costly, with production fees usually seen on albums by — ahem — actual recording artists.

For Warner Bros., that’s not great news as they head into the fourth quarter. The label has no CDs with its name on it anywhere on the charts except for the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ now fallen recent album.

While competitors like Universal Music and Sony BMG barrel ahead with one Top 10 release after another, Warner Bros. remains stricken by a failure to launch.

The Paris disaster could signal a sea change at Warner among execs. I'm told by insiders that Warner Music Group overlord Lyor Cohen did not want to do Hilton's album, and that it was pushed by label chief Tom Whalley.

That jibes with what Paris herself said last winter when she gave this column an exclusive listen to her brand of anonymous Europop. She exclaimed: "Tom Whalley is really behind this. He thinks it's the greatest album."

Warner's success rate may change next month when Sean "Diddy" Combs releases his new album, "Press Play." It was shepherded not by Whalley but by Cohen's secret weapon, Kevin Lyles.

As I told you in July when Combs played me excerpts from his album, he may have a sizeable hit on his hands. Combs’ Bad Boy Records, which releases through Warner’s Atlantic division, has actually had a couple of middling hits this summer. This much can be said for Bad Boy: they’re trying at least.

As for dear Paris, a recording career was only one of many ways for her to market herself. She still has jewelry (designed by someone else), books (written by someone else) and drunk driving (that she does herself).

The strangest thing about Paris might be her publicist. Since John Lennon’s murder in 1980, Elliot Mintz has fashioned himself as Yoko Ono’s public barricade and keeper of the Lennon flame. It’s hard to imagine two clients less alike than Paris and Yoko. But in Hollywood, money talks, and that’s the bottom line.
