Paris Hilton wanted to record the song “Born to Be Wild” for her so-called reality show, The Simple Life 2. You can see how she might. But Steppenwolf leader John Kay refused her. (Music and lyrics are attributed to a Mars Bonfire). According to Canadian music site soulshine, Kay didn’t give it even a moment’s thought before making his decision. “There are certain things even a rock ‘n’ roller will not stoop to, and this is one of them,” he said.

Hilton doesn’t take to no very well. But she was really petulant when the management of the Argyle hotel’s Fenix restaurant in Los Angeles that she and five of her friends ate in recently had the nerve to serve her with a bill for $600. One of those ubiquitous “sources” who happened to be nearby talked to the press. “Paris was having such a laugh until the bill arrived,” he said. “She obviously isn’t used to paying for stuff and looked horrified. In the end she stumped up the money, but seemed far from happy.”
