Paris Hilton in Istanbul to judge the Miss Turkey pageant (3/27)

You know that $6 million house Paris Hilton bought in Beverly Hills last year? She's turning the basement into a private nightclub with capacity for 200. A friend told In Touch Weekly:

Paris wants the nightclub to “look like a Parisian speakeasy, with lots of gold fixtures and black furniture.” Adds another pal, “Obviously, it’s going to be very VIP.” Paris, 27, is also adding a professional quality recording studio to the home’s floor plan. Says the first pal: "As soon as the construction is finished in about four weeks, she plans to start recording her second album there.

I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that Paris is constructing her new nightclub with the ambiance of a Parisian "Speakeasy" since that's what they've been calling her "Grand Opening" for years! Oh and if you read the last line of that article and didn't burst out laughing, you're lying.
