Trouble For Paris.

This is an article that focuses on Paris Hilton, who appeared battered and bruised after breaking up with boyfriend Nick Carter. When Paris Hilton stopped by the L.A. home of her friend, skateboarder Chad Muska, on July 29, something wasn't right. The cause of Hilton's bruises, which she openly displayed for photographers at Los Angeles International Airport on July 29, is the latest and most dramatic controversy in the wake of the exceptionally messy breakup between Hilton, 23, and her ex-boyfriend, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, 24. During a long weekend of partying and family events in the Hamptons July 30 to Aug. 1, Hilton seemed in high spirits--and, in typical Paris fashion, even danced on the banquettes at Hamptons nightspot Jet East. Four nights later Hilton--along with her sister Nicky, 20, actress pal Bijou Phillips, 24, and Carter's brother Aaron, 16--hit the dance floor at the L.A. hot spot Fenix at the Argyle hotel. Whatever the truth about the bruises, Hilton and Carter have each had their loose-cannon moments: An explicit sex tape Hilton made with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon surfaced last year.
