TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton DID have to undergo a cavity search as part of the booking process at the jail.

The NY Post reported this morning that Paris was not required to undergo the customary ‘bend over and cough’ search for contraband upon checking in to jail. Not true!

TMZ has learned that Paris was forced to endure the “search.”

Yes, I know, I made disparaging comments about this kind of coverage the other night.

However, the reason for my comments is not inconsistant with the original complaint.

I must admit, this particular story caused me to spray Iced tea all over my monitors. Somehow, the concept of having to be the person to perform such a search skeeves me out beyond all reason.  Not without full body latex, full mask, and O2 supply, OK?

This situation brings to mind all kinds of thoughts about anyone who would marry such an individual.  Certainly, there is money involved, but frankly, you wonder about the kind of person who would think that what you’d have to put up with to get that money, would be worth it.

Insert one liner here. (No pun intended)

Remember when I used to the people in Hollywood, and sports figures, and political leaders, that you can actually look up to?
