Paris Hilton Parties With Crush Blunt  6/26/06

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton took time out of launching her pop career to party with her celebrity crush James Blunt on Saturday night (24JUN06).

The socialite arrived in Britain last week (ends23JUN06) to promote her debut single Stars are Blind, but made sure she received a backstage pass to watch Blunt perform at the O2 Wireless festival in London's Hyde Park on Saturday.

Following the You're Beautiful hit maker's performance, Hilton joined the singer and his new girlfriend, Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova, at top nightspot Boujis until the early hours of Sunday morning (25JUN06).

When Hilton was last in the UK for the Brit Awards in February (06), she admitted she had a crush on Blunt, saying, "I love James Blunt. He's an ex-soldier, which is pretty hot."
