Paris Hilton Says She Has "Read Every Letter"

Last week we gave you Paris Hilton's address in jail, and yesterday she told Barbara Walters she has read every letter sent to her...

"I have read all the letters sent to me by my fans, and some of them have made me cry."

Here's Paris Hilton's updated address in jail:

Paris Hilton #9818783
P.O. Box 86164
Terminal Annex
Los Angeles, CA 90086-0164

These items ARE NOT allowed:

• Food or cosmetic items
• Stationery, blank envelopes, envelopes with metal clasps, postage stamps, envelops with gang or suggestive drawings/art work
• Musical, plastic, plastic covered, blank, greeting or post cards larger than 6”x9”
• Paper clips, staples, pens, pencils, glitter, stickers, glued or gummed labels
• Rosary beads, balloons, string bracelets, or other jewelry items
• Lottery tickets or prepaid telephone cards
• Cellophane tape or any type of tape on letters

 Paris called her Mom from jail, who was already on the line speaking to Barbara Walters. Kathy Hilton told Paris that Barbara was on the other line, and Paris asked her mom if she could speak to Barbara directly, so Kathy clicked over.

Here's some of what Paris told Barbara:

"I used to act dumb. It was an act. That act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who look up to me. Now, I would like to make a difference...God has given me this new chance. I was not eating or sleeping," she said. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage...It was a horrible experience."

Teri Horton's "Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?"

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

Did you happen to watch "Anderson Cooper 360" last night on CNN?

If so, you saw Anderson Cooper interview Contact Any Celebrity Member Teri Horton about a painting she bought for $5 at a thrift store that she's now selling for $50 million!

Why? Because she (and many other art experts) believe that her painting is an original Jackson Pollock -- one of the most influential American painters of the 20th century!

I actually interviewed Teri Horton a few months ago, long before Anderson Cooper got his hands on her :)

She's really a great lady and tells a very compelling story about alleged corruption in the high society world of art collectors and art museums.

Teri is a former truck driver with barely a high school education and not much money. She told me she knew absolutely nothing about art or Jackson Pollock (hence the movie's name) until she decided to buy the painting on a whim for $5 at a local thrift store.

Kudos to Teri for not being afraid to go up against the New York art world and for not selling out until she gets a fair price for her painting (recent Jackson Pollock's have sold for more than $100 million!).

In fact, Teri told me she originally bought the painting as a gag gift for a friend. As soon as she got it home, she called her friends to come over and destroy it just for fun because she thought it was so ugly!

Thankfully, one of her friends was an art teacher and had a hunch that the painting might be worth more than $5... more like $50 million!

A new documentary has just come out on DVD about Teri's Jackson Pollock discovery titled "Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?"

So if you're interested at all in art, forensic science, or just a great story, I highly suggest you get yourself a copy.

For more info on the story, check out Anderson Cooper's blog.

P.S. Did I mention Teri Horton is a long-time Member of Contact Any Celebrity? We have only the best!

Reichen Lehmkuhl: Exclusive Interview

We caught up with Reichen Lehmkuhl on vacation in Hawaii to talk about his newfound celebrity, if he was really just using Lance for publicity, and of course... that infamous Perez Hilton:

Which did you find more challenging? "The Amazing Race" or "Fear Factor"?

"Amazing Race," for sure. It was harder than basic training in the military! Although "Fear Factor" was fun, too.

When did you decide you wanted to pursue television as an actor?

It's been a dream of mine since I was 12 years old. A self-fulfilling prophecy, I guess.

What was your favorite TV show to appear on?

So far it's been working on "Days of Our Lives." I really like the pace of soap operas and I learn so much from everyone on the set.

Address For Steve Irwin's Family

The Steve Irwin Family
