Paris Hilton recently spoke to a writer at US Weekly about her breakup with Backstreet Boy and Tommy Lee "bud" Nick Carter: "I was getting my makeup done, and it just hit me: I love Nick, but I need time alone. I called my psychic, and I asked her opinion. She thought I should be alone, and I agreed with her. I don't like confrontation [so I called him that minute on the phone]. I know I should have done it in person, but it is hard. I went straight to the Kabbalah Center and told everyone about the breakup and got a new bracelet. I go there regularly. . . it helps me with my life. It helps you deal. I'm a faithful girlfriend. I never cheat. The papers would say, 'Paris was with this actor, and they were kissing.' At first he was upset, but at the end of the day, Nick knew the rumors weren't true." At this point in the conversation, the writer's head swelled up grotesquely and exploded, as would that of any human being trapped in a dark, cold vacuum.
