Talking Heads singer almost hit Paris Hilton with a bike
Friday, July 24th, 2009Uh-oh! Now this would be very embarrassing for Paris Hilton.
Former Talking Heads singer and avid cyclist, David Byrne, has revealed in his upcoming memoir, “Bicycle Diaries,” how he is frequently infuriated with people who “ignore the lights at pedestrian crossings”. And guess what? This includes Paris Hilton!
Byrne recalls, “(Hilton was) holding her little doggy, crossing the street against the light and looking around as if to say, ‘I’m Paris Hilton, don’t you recognise me?”
“(New Yorkers) have enough brains not to walk in front of a truck, but they’ll step right into the path of a cyclist, thereby initiating a game of urban chicken.”
Wow! That sure is tough. But hey, can you actually blame Paris if she acts this way most of the time? I mean people’s giving her all the attention she wants, can’t blame the heiress if she gets used to seeing people stopping their pace just to get a glimpse of her.
On second thought, that really does sound stupid of her to cross the streets not minding the lights. It’s not just stupid, it’s irresponsible.
Sigh, if Paris Hilton continues to behave this way in public, how can she ever convince the whole world that she isn’t the “blond heiress… airhead” that people perceive her to be? If this is all but a kind of brand, then why does her action speak otherwise?
Oh well, let’s not forget the incident happened in the past; like years ago. So who knows if Paris has changed now and has become more responsible in crossing the streets.
