Here’s one thing we’d hate to happen at any Hilton. An intruder armed with two big knives tried to break into Paris Hilton‘s home. Fortunately, the alarm system was tripped and LAPD was out in minutes. The officers took into custody a fortysomething man who had awakened Paris as he’d banged on the windows of her home. Not that we would ever think of giving a tip to a pervy weirdo, but if you are going to try to break into a home -- celebrity, civilian, it doesn’t matter -- don’t let them know you’re coming by banging on the windows. It completely kills the mood. Click for more about Paris’ harrowing tale.(Paris Hilton / Associated Press)
