Hey, thanks. More than 75 caption ideas came in for the photo of Mayor Villaraigosa and Paris Hilton visiting at a Grammy party. Some cutlines were wittier than others, some cleaner, some rude and crude, but all caught the gravitas of the media moment when Los Angeles' two biggest camera hounds came smile to smile. An impromptu board of advisers liked one caption best — "Sleazy media whore, and Paris Hilton, at the Grammys" — but as maximum editor I get final cut. So with apologies to David Letterman, here's a Top Ten in the mayor's voice and a Top Ten from the Hilton perspective. Anonymity is probably a virtue here, so you winners know who you are.


More after the jump, along with a photo of the mayor's Grammy date snuggling up with Tinkerbell's mistress. Plus at Native Intelligence: The mayor tells LAO's Jacob Soboroff what he and Paris were really talking about.
