Are Paris Hilton and Robert Pattinson hooking up?

Paris Hilton snared Robert Pattinson at a party.

The blonde heiress stunned hotel guests in a luxury Oscar bash by dragging the "Twilight" star out of time alone after asking for her sister Nicky to help him on the track.

Friends of 28 years old Socialite - including her ex-boyfriend Benji Madden and sister Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - were stunned by her aggressive flirting with the handsome British actor.

After the scan Patrick Whitesell's Hollywood crush on his part, Robert and Paris were seen "laughing and in a deep conversation" for an hour before she reportedly took him to the garden outside the gaze of onlookers.

Paris recently dropped from 22 years of age, after seeing the piece of his latest film, which plays a vampire.

She said: "I saw 'Twilight' and I must say that I think Robert is a beautiful man and an amazing actor. It's fabulous!"

The film caused a sensation among teenage girls, but last year, Paris admits that took a while to appreciate the film.

He added: "Now I understand all the hype. I just did not get before, but now it all makes sense. I liked the movie and loved seeing Robert in it."

The Biggest upsets in Oscar history

Set to write the Academy Award in breach and immediately begins to shift the ground under your feet. Yes, some neck-snappers we all remember - such as Jack Nicholson is to present the prize for Best Picture in 2005, opened an envelope and said: "Wow" - a time when the name of the movie knew all to win all of a sudden no one reading aloud.

But this I-hadda-be-there moments. Looking Oscar history, you find that we could call violates the opposite - cases in which a film or play that has long been a part of racial unconscious is not a day, won due recognition. Then you get into a kind of "What do they know, and when they know?" situation. How would they have been so blind? We have collected some of this kind, and upset.

Violate come in all valences, triumphant and horrifying. Truly the way Oscar passes understanding. But this does not spoil the party.

1939
It was Hollywood's golden year. "Stagecoach" ... "Mr. Smith Goes Washington" ... "Ninotchka" ... "The Wizard of Oz" ... "Is it the wings of angels ... "Mr. Young Lincoln" ... "Wuthering Heights" ... "Of mice and men ... "Gunga Din" ... "Drums Along Mohawk" ... "Roman" ... "Four Feathers" (OK, made in England, but still). Nevertheless, it was producing a film that obsessed fans throughout the year, and when it was at that time record 13 Oscar nominations, no one doubts that David O. Selznick 'S almost four-hour Technicolor megaproduction "gone with the wind will take the brass ring. Lots of bronze rings, including for best director Victor Fleming, despite the fact that some half-dozen directors (George Cukor and Sam Wood) worked on the film. Most major players have been appointed (including Thomas Mitchell, although to "Stagecoach", not "GWTW"): a newcomer in Hollywood Vivien Li won Best Actress, as Scarlett O'Hara, and Hattie McDaniel edged out Olivia de Havilland for Best Supporting Actress. However, what was wrong with this picture? While writer Margaret Mitchell had written a book of visualization Clark gable as Rhett Butler, the fronton had to settle for a nomination (best actor went to Robert Donat for "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" -- but in reality, we would give it to Frank Capra in Mr. Smith, Jimmy Stewart). The king took him as a man, of course. But the clock "GWTW" today, and try telling us all that nonsense will be tolerated without Selznickean gable movie stars standing in the middle of it.

Top 10 Worst Movie Sequels - continued

"Clerks II" (2006)

Why a sequel? After the critical and commercial drubbing of his laboured labour of love "Jersey Girl," Kevin Smith needed a hit, and figured that going back to the low-rent, minimum-wage workers of his breakout hit "Clerks" would be a good place to return to his roots.
Plot: Following up "Clerks," "Clerks II" brings back motor-mouthed Randal (Jeff Anderson) and sad sack Dante (Brian O'Halloran) after a 12-year hiatus. Now working at a fast-food place, Randal and Dante try to find real work and true love.
Why it sucks: Smith should have known that the potty-mouthed bravado of his debut was the kind of lightning in a bottle that can't be reproduced, and that making a career out of screeching, swearing sex talk isn't the wisest choice. Also, taking Dante and Randal out of their grubby, real convenience store and video shop and plopping them into a gleaming, overdesigned fast-food place just highlighted O'Halloran and Anderson's limited acting skills. "Clerks II" was about people on dead-end, humiliating career paths; it might be one of the most autobiographical things Smith has ever done.

"Caddyshack II" (1988)

Why a sequel? With a startling profit-to-cost ratio, 1980's "Caddyshack" was an instant cult classic. Eight years later, star Chevy Chase returned alongside a group of B-list replacement players to try to make a box office hole-in-one again.
Plot: Once again, a blue-collar snob (Jackie Mason, subbing in for Rodney Dangerfield) tries to get into Bushwood country club, with a snooty club leader (Robert Stack, subbing in for Ted Knight) blocking the attempt while a demented goon (Dan Aykroyd, subbing in for Bill Murray) tries to stop a gopher and Chase makes bad jokes in the background.
Why it sucks: Because Mason is no Dangerfield, Stack is no Knight, and Aykroyd is no Murray. And Chase wasn't Chase. Director Allan Arkush sucks the life from every laugh, and the eight-year wait between instalments only made the original grow all the more beloved in hindsight.

"Weekend at Bernie's II" (1993)

Why a sequel? Because America had already laughed at the sight of two underachieving leading men (Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy) contorting a corpse into various positions and dragging a dead man from Point A to Point B in 1989's "Weekend at Bernie's." Add in surprising profitability on home video, and a sequel became a -- ahem -- dead certainty.
Plot: Silverman and McCarthy, just as in the first film, have to drag their dead boss (played, surprisingly well, by Terry Kiser) around in the pursuit of safety and riches.
Why it sucks: The first film kind-of-sort-of got every possible joke out of the dead-man bit, while the second film adds a vaguely insulting voodoo subplot. Add in the fact that "Weekend at Bernie's II" picks up the action the day after the first film while McCarthy and Silverman both look four years older and terribly, terribly tired, and the entire movie feels like, uh, beating a dead horse.

"Grease 2" (1982)

Why a sequel? "Grease" turned a little-known musical into a cult-favourite sing-along smash; why wouldn't you want to try to recapture that? Add in a $394 million take at the box office, and going back to Rydell High is a no-brainer.
Plot: "No-brainer" might, in fact, describe the plot, as "Grease 2" simply inverts the first film's romance between bad boy John Travolta and virtuous transfer student Olivia Newton-John, as English exchange student Maxwell Caulfield embarks on a risky romance with bad girl Michelle Pfeiffer. This isn't a sequel; it's the same movie in drag.
Why it sucks: Directed by "Grease" choreographer Patricia Birch, "Grease 2" even has lame songs, like a rousing anthem to the pleasure of bowling ("Let's Score") and another number set in a sex-ed class ("Reproduction"). Pfeiffer has a certain scrappy appeal, but Caulfield might as well not even be there; he's blond, bland and disposable. Plus, "Grease" was an exercise in nostalgia; "Grease 2" feels like it's asking us to get nostalgic over nostalgia, and that's the most depressing thing imaginable.

"Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997)

Why a sequel? "Speed," with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, became the little action movie that could, with a bus rigged to blow if it dipped below 55 mph thanks to mad bomber Dennis Hopper. Who wouldn't want to bring that team back?
Plot: Apparently not Fox, who subbed Jason Patric when Reeves refused to come aboard, and plopped Patric and Bullock into a danger-at-sea plot as Willem Dafoe hijacks a cruise ship. (Rumour has it that the original script was intended as a possible "Die Hard" installment.)
Why it sucks: Patric isn't Reeves, and the decision to move ahead with a sequel without Reeves made the film feel like even more of an empty exercise in money-mad marketing over storytelling. The plot also lacked the original's pure pitch -- if the bus slows down, the bus goes BOOM! -- offering fairly generic action stunts instead.

Top 10 Worst Movie Sequels

"Staying Alive" (1983)

Why a sequel? "Saturday Night Fever" made $237 million worldwide at the box office, never mind the multiplatinum soundtrack album (to this date, the "Saturday Night Fever" album has sold 15 million copies). Travolta was still a young star, and hot talent Sylvester Stallone was attached to direct. What could go wrong?
Plot: Travolta's Tony Manero has left Brooklyn for Manhattan and left the nightclub world of disco for Broadway's modern dance productions. As Tony tries to make it on Broadway in a show called -- and I wish I was kidding -- "Satan's Alley," can he keep his love of dance alive?
Why it sucks: Because you don't have to be a genius to observe that the gritty, glam world of 1970s disco is very, very different than the gleaming, phony Broadway that Tony is plunged into. "Saturday Night Fever" had a dark, urban moodiness to it; "Staying Alive" gleams and glimmers like the oil smeared on Travolta's conspicuously displayed six-pack. "Staying Alive" made money; it just didn't make any sense.

"Blues Brothers 2000" (1998)

Why a sequel? "The Blues Brothers," released in 1980, was a transcendent comedy hit, fusing great musical numbers with crazed slapstick as Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) Blues reunited their band to save the orphanage where they grew up. Eighteen years later, Belushi was dead, but director John Landis and Aykroyd needed a hit.
Plot: Elwood gets the band back together. And mentors an orphan boy. And hires a new singer (John Goodman). And ropes an Illinois cop (Joe Morton) into the group for a "Battle of the Bands." And there's a lot of singing and some great musical performances surrounded by a few jokes and some overdone crashes.
Why it sucks: Never mind the fact that, technically, with Belushi dead, any follow-up film is by definition "Blues Brother"; "Blues Brothers 2000" is an overstuffed cash grab full of extraneous characters (like the plucky orphan and Morton's cop) that bloat the movie until it bursts in a great demonstration that more isn't always better. Also, with an 18-year gap between original and sequel, the audience that roared for "Blues Brothers" had grown up and moved on, while their kids had no idea what the fuss was about.

"The Sting II" (1983)

Why a sequel? "The Sting" earned 10 Oscar nominations in 1973, won seven Academy Awards (including Best Picture), gave Robert Redford and Paul Newman terrific roles, and featured Robert Shaw as a classic bad guy. Ten years later, "The Sting II" gives us the substitute con team of Mac Davis and Jackie Gleason against Oliver Reed. Uh, what?
Plot: Gleason and Davis try to take down nightclub owner Karl Malden for murdering a friend, without knowing that the first film's nemesis, Doyle Lonnegan (Reed), is behind the dastardly doings. With Davis posing as an up-and-coming boxer and Gleason pulling the strings, the con is on.
Why it sucks: You can find reviews of "The Sting II" claiming it's not that bad, or, rather, it wouldn't feel so shabby if it weren't following in the footsteps of Redford and Newman. But it did follow in those big footsteps, and followed along 10 years after the first film's success. It stumbled: "The Sting" made $156 million at the box office, while "The Sting II" made $6 million. Ouch.

"Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" (2003)

Why a sequel? After "Legally Blonde" made $141 million at the box office, a sequel seemed inevitable. Reese Witherspoon's transformation into a Hollywood star also meant the actress was looking for a cash cow.
Plot: Witherspoon, as the freshly graduated lawyer Elle Woods, goes to Washington, where she learns about democracy, makes jokes about consumerism, and sponsors a "Million Dog March" to stop animal testing, demonstrating once again her brilliant instincts under her glossy exterior.
Why it sucks: Not only is "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" impossibly lazy -- yes, Witherspoon's Elle is smarter than she looks, we get it -- but it also offered the weird sight of millions of fictional people marching against animal testing, and succeeding, at a moment in American history when, on the news, millions of real people were marching against the just-begun invasion of Iraq, and being ignored. It's hard to imagine worse timing for a fluffy, funny political comedy than the ain't-politics-funny, mistimed, misshapen "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde."

"Highlander II: The Quickening" (1991)

Why a sequel? Look, regardless of merit, "Highlander" has a certain style, a certain charm, and a certain dimwit joie de vivre as immortals clash with broadswords in modern Manhattan, Queen roars on the soundtrack, and Sean Connery plays a Spaniard. Did it make sense? No. Was it fun? Yes.
Plot: In "Highlander II: The Quickening," we learn that Christopher Lambert and Connery's mystical immortals are actually space aliens. And that Connery, who died -- not-coming-back-even-though-he's-a-mystic-immortal, we-mean-it-for-keeps, he's snuffed it -- in the first film, apparently got better. Connery and Lambert then run around the future trying to stop the bad corporation that controls the big, man-made shield that replaces the ozone layer.
Why it sucks: Plenty of sequels forget what made their predecessor good. "Highlander II: The Quickening" actively reverses and refutes almost everything in the first film while larding on unnecessary backstory and completely changing the tone of the saga. The DVD "Renegade Version" (wisely) excises all the space alien stuff. But listen to the commentary track; it's a celebration of rationalization as the producers defensively apologize for goofing up the franchise.
