Mrs. & Mrs. Paris Paris

Filed under: — Different River @ 5:43 pm

… Or something like that. AP reports:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hotel heiress and “The Simple Life” reality TV star Paris Hilton is engaged to her boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, her spokesman said.

So if she takes the “traditional” route as far as names go, she will become Paris Latsis upon her marriage to Paris Latsis. And they will be Mr. & Mrs. Paris Latsis without worrying about whose name comes first. And when you call their house and say, “May I please speak to Paris?” what will they say? “Which one?” “Paris Latsis.” “Which one?” “Huh?”

This is even worse then when Eleanor Roosevelt married Franklin Roosevelt and became Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt. Heck’s, it’s even worse than my friends Larry and Lori…. ;-)
