Paris Opens Up About Cuthbert Kiss

Last week, the Internet was abuzz with alleged eyewitness reports of celebutante Paris Hilton caught in a very public lesbian liplock with sexy starlet Elisha Cuthbert at NYC hotspot Tenjune. And while the hotel heiress' rep to quash the rumors, the Simple Life star has remained uncharacteristically quiet on the subject. Until now.

On tonight's edition of the Daily 10 on E!, Paris defends herself from the scurrilous rumor, saying, "That is not true... Elisha's like a sister to me, she's one of my best friends." As for what actually went down that night, the star of The Hottie & the Nottie only says, "I was with her boyfriend and a bunch of friends at a club and people just like to make up stories."

In the meantime, Paris has confirmed that she will appear on an upcoming episode of the lesbian drama The L Word. In an interview with Parade magazine, the hotel heiress confesses, "It's true. I have no idea what kind of character I'll be playing, but it's a good show."
