Is FT backing Paris Hilton?

Sir you quote Paris Hilton saying something funny and smart on your first page, August 9, and then you have John Gapper write "The president of hedonism" with the leader of "The LA heiress is no average airhead" just to end up informing that what was quoted, "the script" as it is called, was written by somebody else. What on earth has happened to FT? Let the celebrities fight out among themselves but FT has nothing doing blatantly favouring one over another. This is a perfect opportunity for transparency and so, without fear, please disclose how this article came about.
