Paris Hilton told Elle about her future plans

In an interview only marginally less hard hitting than Larry King's postincarceration pressing, Paris Hilton sat down with family friend and fellow drama queen Jackie Collins to dish—yet again—on her jail stint, her cat-and-mouse game with the paparazzi and her desire to domesticate.

In Hilton's latest reinvention-touting interview, this time featured in the U.K. edition of Elle's October issue, the hotel heiress pays serious lip service to following in pal Nicole Richie's footsteps and settling down, claiming that she has designs on procreating as early as next year and that nothing would make her happier, despite preconception-based tabloid reports to the contrary.

"I wanna have like a family and a guy," she tells Collins, a lifelong family friend, in the Q&A. "Y'know, it just upsets me because I'm not anything like what people say about me, and this cartoon character that they've made of me is just completely false. It makes me mad that I'm such a good person and I'm treated like that by some people, I just don't get it."

Still, the 26-year-old isn't letting the haters get her down—or get in the way of a good plan.

"I just started working out and it feels great," she said. "It gives me so much energy. I want kids next year, so I've got to get my body ready."

As for which A-list male specimen might aid her in her brood-making quest, Hilton says she is currently single but on the lookout.

"I used to care about looks, but I've grown out of that stage. They have to be a good person, someone I know would be a good husband, loyal and funny and smart. And somebody I can trust, with good chemistry. But I don't know, I like a guy who can make me laugh."

As for what Hilton thinks she can bring to the relationship: "I make an amazing lasagna."

Before she brings another Hilton into the world, however, the former Simple Life star is content to focus on the little things that make her happy—no longer the late nights or hot clubs, she says, but her animals—11 dogs, two monkeys, three ferrets, three cats and two bunnies, at last count—and her family.

Something, she says, that no longer holds interest for her are Hollywood's hot spots and the suddenly unwanted coverage they attract.

"They're like stalkers," she says of her ever-present paparazzi followers. "I think they're out of control. I've rented this beach house, I'm all excited to go out on the beach and I can't even do that...I can't even see the beach from my house now, because there are 60 or 70 paparazzi standing on the beach in front of my house waiting for me to go in the ocean and for my bathing suit top to fall off. It's insane."

Hilton says she had a similar problem while attempting to go incognito on a solo trip to Hawaii immediately after her release from jail.

"I thought I got away with it because we bought tickets to, like, six different places...And I used a different name, but when we landed the paparazzi were all there, and I was so upset because I was dressed like a Hawaiian. I had on a black wig and I thought no one would notice."

Hilton's sudden aversion to photogs seemed to rear as soon as she walked out of Lynwood's Century Regional Detention Facility earlier this summer, with the heiress saying she was "in shock" at the waiting throngs.

"It was weird to be out in the open air, so many flashbulbs, and the helicopters were crazy. I was shy because I hadn't been around people for a while."

As for her time behind bars, Hilton doesn't appear to be too scarred from the experience, saying she got along famously with her cellblock-mates. Her opinion of the sentencing judge, however, is a different story.

"We were all in cells, and I would talk to them in passing and they'd say, 'I love you, God bless you, it's ridiculous you're in here. I'm in here for murder, what the hell is going on?' People thought the judge was totally out of order...You know, I was only in there for a suspended license."

Despite any lingering bitterness over the experience, Hilton is making good on her postjail word to get more involved in the matters close to her heart, signing on most recently to chair the 16th annual AmfAR Rocks benefit.

Lohan's Attorney: Driver Is Lying To Get Money

An attorney representing Lindsay Lohan in a car wreck says the other driver is using lies about the starlet being drunk "as a battering ram to force a settlement," court papers obtained Wednesday show.

Raymundo Ortega, of Los Angeles, filed a negligence lawsuit against Lohan on June 14 and is seeking at least $200,000 in damages.

Ortega, a busboy, alleges she was trying to flee photographers when her car hit his van in West Hollywood nearly two years ago, and that she had been drinking earlier.

A 10-page brief was filed Friday by Lohan’s attorney Alfred W. Gerisch in support of a motion to dismiss the lawsuit or to strike parts of it. The court papers also offered a response to allegations by Ortega's lawyer, Robert G. Klein, that Lohan was intoxicated.

A hearing on Lohan's motions is scheduled for Tuesday before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern.

No sobriety tests were done that could support the intoxication claim, Gerisch's court papers state.

The drunken driving allegation is untrue and not supported by the CHP report, Gerisch maintains. Gerisch is asking the judge to strike Ortega's $200,000 damage claim and his additional request for punitive damages.

Gerisch additionally denies -- in court papers -- allegations in the Ortega lawsuit that Lohan is using her corporation, Crossheart Productions Inc., "to shield her personal assets and as a method to perpetuate fraud on creditors."

Gerisch calls the statements "irrelevant and inflammatory."

But in Klein's court papers, he criticizes Gerisch for using a police report to support his contention that Lohan was not intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Klein calls the report hearsay. He also states the reporting officer did not see how fast Lohan was driving before the accident and also does not know whether she was drinking beforehand.

Klein further states that his client has witnesses who will support his allegations Lohan was driving as fast as 62 mph and that "there is some evidence she was served alcohol shortly before the accident" while at The Ivy restaurant in West Hollywood.

The Ivy also is named as a defendant in Ortega's suit. Court papers filed in behalf of the restaurant deny any wrongdoing on the part of those at the establishment that day.

Klein's court papers also ask the judge to take judicial notice of reports in the media and on the Internet that the actress had been in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers twice by the time she was 20. Lohan is now 21.

"The fact that Ms. Lohan was admitted to rehab for alcohol abuse shortly after this accident raises a presumption that at the time of this accident she was under the influence," Klein states in his court papers.

But Gerisch replies in his court papers that Klein has not identified the Web sites in which the articles originated and also has failed to prove their authenticity.

The collision between Lohan's black Mercedes-Benz SL65 -- worth about $200,000, according to Klein's court papers -- and Ortega's van occurred about 5 p.m. on Oct. 4, 2005, on Robertson Boulevard, just south of Beverly Boulevard, according to the lawsuit.

The suit alleges the actress, then 19, was looking over her shoulder instead of watching the road because she had been sensitive to paparazzi and often drove recklessly after a May 2005 accident in which a photographer rammed her car.

The California Highway Patrol report states that Lohan complained of leg and back pain and was interviewed later at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She said she was driving north on Robertson at 30 mph when Ortega turned in front of her and she was unable to avoid hitting the van, according to the report.

The report states that Ortega was at fault for making an illegal U-turn.

Klein counters in his court papers that Ortega was trying to get to the other side of Robertson Boulevard to a parking space when he was hit by Lohan's car while halfway through his turn.

"Instead of seeing if Mr. Ortega needed medical assistance, Lindsay Lohan fled the scene and took refuge in a retail store," Klein's court papers state.

Britney Spears - Kevin Federline of custody battle

Attorneys for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline both said they were happy with results of a closed-door hearing on child custody today, but revealed little about what went on.

A Sept. 17 hearing is already scheduled in the case, and Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon set another hearing for sometime in November -- both dealing with Federline's request for more custody time with the couple's two sons, Federline's lawyer, Mark V. Kaplan, said in a brief news conference outside the courthouse.

The November hearing -- Kaplan did not give a specific date -- was scheduled to give both sides more time to gather information in preparation for the upcoming custody fight, Kaplan said.

Kaplan is seeking the depositions of several people in the Spears camp, including the pop singer's assistant, former bodyguard, former manager and former nanny.

Spears, 25, and Federline are the parents of Sean Preston, who turns 2 on Sept. 14, and Jayden James, who will be 1 on Sept. 12. The couple were divorced July 30.

Kaplan said Federline, 29, wants the half-and-half child-custody arrangement changed, because the two boys are "isolated from risks" when they are with his client.

In the interim, both Federline and Spears will continue to have equal custody time with the boys, Kaplan said. But he confirmed Federline wants additional custody privileges.

"He wants as much custody time as he can get," Kaplan said, adding that he was pleased with today's developments.

Just before Gordon closed the hearing, Spears' lawyer, Laura A. Wasser, said she was told by the county Department of Children and Family Services that they had completed an investigation into custody matters in the case.

The probe dealt with whether the boys were receiving proper dental hygiene while in Spears' care, according to the celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

Before the hearing began, Gordon said a lawyer from the County Counsel's Office, representing the DCFS, was scheduled to appear, but had not shown up. The hearing went forward without the DCFS attorney.

Wasser said later that the DCFS lawyer's presence was not needed.

"I don't think there was anything for them to appear about," Wasser said.

Asked whether the closed hearing dealt with positive or negative news for Spears, Wasser replied, "It went very well."

Kaplan would not confirm whether Wasser's statement about the DCFS investigation being complete is accurate.

"I don't know if that's true, I don't know if that's untrue," Kaplan said.

Kaplan and Wasser both said they wanted to make permanent an order Gordon issued July 30 sealing the child custody and support records.

Gordon has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 14 to give a lawyer for People magazine and NBC4 television the chance to argue that at least some of the documents should be made public.

Kaplan denied reports that Federline is more concerned about increasing his spousal support than time with his boys.

"This has nothing to do with money," he said. "It never has."

Spears filed papers Nov. 6 to end her two-year marriage to dancer and fledgling rapper Federline, citing irreconcilable differences.

Spears' court papers stated that she and Federline separated Nov. 5, the same day she showed off her slimmed-down, post-baby figure on David Letterman's talk show.

Spears checked into an addiction treatment center in February. About that time, Federline asked for an emergency hearing regarding custody of the boys, but later canceled it.

The couple wed Oct. 6, 2004. The marriage was Spears' second, coming eight months after she ended a 55-hour Las Vegas union to a childhood friend.

The singer, known for such hits as "Baby One More Time," "Oops ...I Did It Again" and "Toxic," first found fame as a member of "The New Mickey Mouse Club" in the 1990s.
