Quickies: Paris Wants Privacy, Posh No Piker

Paris Hilton's paparazzi-plagued neighbors are likely planning one heckuva block party. The Wall Street Journal reports the jailbird-turned-wannabe-philanthropist has listed her 3,000-square-foot, four-bedroom Hollywood Hills, Calif., home for $4.25 million, approximately $1.3 million more than she paid for it in 2004. Hilton, who is spending the summer in a swanky Malibu rental, is looking for a place with more privacy, preferably in a gated community, her aunt, Kyle Richards, tells the paper. As for Paris' put-upon neighbors, they weren't a consideration in her decision. "I'm sure they'll be happy to see the paparazzi go, but that had nothing to do with it," says Richards. "She can't control the people who are outside." Paris, by the by, may be able to afford an even ritzier residence thanks to yet another endorsement deal. E! Online's Marc Malkin reports she's signed on to shill for Italian jeweler Damiani, which has dubbed her an "icon" (of what, we have no idea). The company seems to be going in a different direction from previous campaigns, which featured the classier likes of Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Since her recent relocation to Los Angeles, Victoria Beckham has done her part to help the local economy by dropping major coin at one high-end store after another. But that didn't stop a report from surfacing last week claiming she failed to cough up her half of the check -- or a tip -- after lunching with BFF Katie Holmes at tony restaurant Asia de Cuba (it remains unclear as to whether Posh consumed actual foodstuffs). But a rep for the eatery insists to Us that the claims are "false and the only truth to this story is that they did come in to Asia de Cuba for lunch. The server told me they were delightful, Katie paid while Victoria was away from the table and left a generous tip."

Faith Hill doesn't take kindly to other women getting handsy with her man. During a performance this weekend in Louisiana, the chanteuse chastised an audience member for reaching out and bad-touching her tight-pantsed husband, Tim McGraw. "Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend," Faith fumed to the grabby fan, in a moment captured on video (via JustJared.com). "You don't go grabbin' somebody else's -- somebody's husband's b***s, you understand me? That's very disrespectful."

With pregnancy rumors spreading faster than her waistline, Christina Aguilera has canceled a pair of concerts dates on the Australian leg of her tour. People reports the pint-size belter is suffering from a respiratory infection, a high fever and a bad cough. She's been put on bed rest, forcing her to bail out of the shows scheduled for Melbourne. "Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus," Christina said in a mea culpa message to fans. "This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won't be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time." Aguilera is set to wrap up her tour later this week in New Zealand.
