Hilton's fashion launch causes LA chaos

Paris Hilton caused chaos in Los Angeles this week when she launched her new clothing line at a fashionable boutique.

Police had to be drafted in to help control a surging crowd desperate to catch a glimpse of the Simple Life star at Kitson in Beverly Hills, and a lane of traffic on Robertson Boulevard was closed to accommodate the thousands of star-spotting pedestrians.

Hilton said during the launch of her own shoes, T-shirts and jeans: "It's a dream come true to have my own clothing line. It's just Paris style: fun, bright and flashy. They are really comfortable and really affordable. It's just from my closet to their closets."
