Paris Hilton, Distracted Friends Celebrate Birthday

Paris Hilton's 26th birthday bash wasn't all fun and games.

There was the small matter of Brandon Davis, a.k.a. Greasy Bear, acting like a complete d!ck and offending pretty much everyone in attendance, ultimately forcing his slutty, heiress BFF to kick his oily ass out.

But it was still a rowdy occasion marked by good times and good friends. In the picture below, Paris is joined by lunatic rock goddess Courtney Love, along with the jail-bound Nicole Richie and her new beau, Joel Madden.

It's a fun gang. While posing for this picture, the fearsome foursome couldn't help but let their minds wander a bit, however...

Paris can't get over the fact that people are talking about Kim Kardashian getting busy with Ray J on film when Hilton is the one that wrote the book on riding sex tapes to stardom.

Nicole can't shake thoughts of her impending court date, while Madden is starting to realize how much cuter his ex, Hilary Duff, is than Richie - even if Hilary wasn't exactly Antonella Barba, if you know what we're saying.

Courtney Love? She has no clue where she is, ever. Not shocking.
