LAGER POUT

Yes, The Sun has already reported this, but it's not often we can give the Germans three
cheers. First they had a pop at Tom Cruise and pointed out that his 'religion' was in fact a money-making cult, and now they've turned their steely and efficient eyes in the direction of Paris Hilton and her wonky eye, effectively banning her from attending the Oktoberfest in Munich.

Paris attended the event last year (in a an attempt to add even more money to her bloated coffers) promoting a range of canned wine, which sounds just as appealing and classy as the woman herself.

This upset some of the more traditional types at the festival, who rightly pointed out that a beerfest tends to concentrate on beer and is no place for an American heiress dressed as a milkmaid, especially one who unsettles the punters who can't tell if she's looking at them or the bloke behind them.

She should be grateful that they've just banned her and not sought retribution for her antics last year. After all, the last time the Germans took action against Paris there were Panzer tanks rolling down the Champs-Elysses within 24 hours.
