Paris Hilton's Fear of Sweat  8/6/06

Socialite Paris Hilton insists on dancing on nightclub banquettes and stages, because she has a uncontrollable fear of sweat.

The aspiring singer, 25, is regularly photographed dancing from a height at nightclubs across the world, looking down at her fellow partygoers.

Hilton explains, "I dance on the banquettes, just below the tables because I don't want to be on the dance floor with everyone sweating on me. It's gross.

"I hate sweat. It grosses me out. Sweaty guys gross me out. I just don't want to be near sweat in a club."
