It's amazing what basking in the Paris Hilton media glare can do for your profile. Even Radar Online is now covering Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, posting today about his Saturday appearance at Sinai Temple to talk about ethics. His lone allusion to Hilton was to quip that "this has been an interesting week for me," but a worshipper told Radar "the whole thing was really strange. It was just one long ramble." By the way, the site calls Sinai a Beverly Hills temple, but it's not — Westwood or Holmby Hills, take your pick, but definitely in the city of L.A. The photo is from another Baca media mention, coverage at gossip Janet Charlton's website of the sheriff sitting on the Church of Scientology float at a Hollywood parade.
