Hilton Feels Horrible After Cell Mishap
Wednesday February 23 1:31 PM ET

While Hollywood gossips about who was and wasn't on Paris Hilton's computer-hacked cell phone book, the hotel heiress/reality TV star says she feels "horrible."

Last week, Hilton's cell phone was hacked into and its contents (her phone numbers and e-mail addresses) were posted on the Internet.

In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, on newsstands Friday, Hilton says: "I feel horrible that, once again, someone has invaded my privacy. I want to apologize to all my friends and family. I don't know why this stuff always happens to me, but I wish it wouldn't anymore."

Hilton, 24, first heard the news from her sister, Nicky.

"(Nicky) told me it was out there. It's too upsetting for me I can't believe it."

Some of Hilton's friends have been besieged with calls and e-mails. Actress Lindsay Lohan tells the magazine: "It's crazy. I even got an e-mail from someone pretending to be Hugh Hefner."

Hilton's privacy was previously exposed when a sex tape of her and an ex-boyfriend became a cyberspace novelty. She stars on the Fox TV reality show "The Simple Life 3: Interns" with friend Nicole Richie, daughter of R&B singer Lionel Richie.

I object to the use of the term "HACKED" in relation to this incident. She was blatantly socially engineered out of her Cingular password. If she was dumb enough to give out her passwords to someone that called her without verifying they were with Cingular, than she deserves what happened. Money is no excuse for lack of brains. "Hi, i'm Joe Blow with Cingular. We've been having problems with the network and we need to verify that this is indeed you. Give us your password so we can cross check it with our database here.."

I hope she's universally shunned by every celeb on her cell phone. Dumb ass debutante.

Discuss!

1. "If she was dumb enough to..."

Yes. She is.

2. I need to socially engineer her out of her SS #

I have a few unsecured cash loans to take out in her name.

"Hello Paris? This is Mr. Cashy McSpendalot at your bank. I'm the bank president, and with all of this awful mess with your cell phone and all, we're getting calls claiming to be you. I need to verify some personal information with you while I have you on the phone..."

4. Socially engineer her out of some of that "hard-earned" money.

I never said it was hard-earned by her...

9. Mr. Cashy McSpendalot

3. You mean she gave out her password to someone who called?

I had only heard the initial reports about her phonebook going public. I hadn't heard that she just gave out her account info herself. Excuse me for a moment...

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

5. She'd probably had a couple of joints beforehand...

"Ohh... my password? That's hot. Now where'd I put my bra?"

6. It was T-Mobile not Cingular

7. Lindsay Lohan's number was in Paris Hilton's phone?

Damn... my opinion of Lindsay just dropped...

She seems too smart to hang out with such a vacuous space-cadet.
Plus, Lindsay earned her own money...

Sad...
