Paris Hilton

was unwittingly caught in a paparazzi showdown after a lens lizard stomped on one of her legendary size elevens.

Hilton, who was cavorting about Hollywood town with her supposed BFF

Brittany Flickinger

(the wannabe who won the chance to be Hilton's mate on TV show

Paris Hilton My New BFF

), had her foot stomped by a paparazzo as she left a trendy night spot in the celebrity capital last week.

The star was immediately surrounded by a crowd of paparazzi as she made her showbiz exit from the venue, and the ensuing aftermath descended into chaos.

Moments before being whisked away in her chariot, a clumsy Paparazzo stomped on her big toe and left Hilton yelping in pain.

I know, I'm blogging about celebrity foot stomping. Stay with me on this one. There's a payoff.

The unreality star let out an almighty "Owwwwww!" as she proceeded to inspect the damage done to her hoof - and more importantly, her treasured shoe.

And on the rumour that he’s been following Madge around like some lovesick puppy:

"I can tell you this," Rodriguez said, "I have never been on a plane with her."

A-Rod also said the stuff that’s written about them gives him a case of the LOLs.

"I've been to two [of her] concerts, yet I've read that I went to 20. I've also read that we were buying an apartment together. That is absolutely ridiculous and not true."

"You have to have a sense of humor when it comes to this stuff," he added.

Somehow I think the man doth protest too much.

alleges that Spears pleaded with her mother to allow her to have lipo. A snitch says: "She didn’t know she was pregnant when she filled out the health questionnaire prior to the procedure."

"Her mom approved the injections and went through tons of red tape to get the clinic to administer them to an underage patient."
