how i love the brits

with all the troubling news that has come out of britain in the last couple of days, i was ecstatic to read this, a great item that gives some hope to all of us, courtesy of defamer.com:

Backstage at Live8 Ricky Gervais was at the side of the stage. Paris Hilton walked up to him and said how much she liked his stuff.

Ricky: “Have we met before?”
Paris “Yes. I’m Paris Hilton”
Ricky “Oh, sorry Paris, I didn’t recognize you without a cock in your mouth.”

Exit Paris in a huff.

bravo.
