Paris Hilton has dumped her new boyfriend because he is “too shy”. The 26-year-old socialite decided to end her fledgling relationship with Swede Alex Vaggo — who she started dating in September — after he failed to excite her.

A source said: “She loved his good looks, but she gets bored very quickly, and he was just too shy and quiet for her.

“She likes bad boys.” Paris announced to the world she was single again by stepping out with bad boy rocker Kid Rock in Toronto, Canada, at the weekend.

She said: “I’m single. I’m way too busy for a boyfriend.” The Simple Life star has also quickly put an end to speculation that she is now dating Rock.

A spokesperson for Paris said: “She went to his show in Toronto with some friends and to the after-show party. They are absolutely not dating.”

Paris met 20-year-old Alex in Los Angeles when he was backpacking round the US.

Fresh off the rumour mill, there is speculation that Mr and Mrs Smith actress Angelina Jolie has been fired from her position as the face of St John, a clothing company. Angie has been the face of St John since 2005.

It’s crazy to think that someone as famous as Jolie could get canned. Nevertheless, one source
says it was her image that caused the clothier to dump her. “Putting celebrities in campaigns is the biggest trend right now, everyone is doing it, but it didn’t work for St John with Angelina. The people that wear St John just didn’t relate to her.”

Those “people who wear St John” include US Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and White House staffer Condoleeza Rice.

However, the reps for the fashion label say that no decision has been reached yet.

Meanwhile, Jolie has trouble on another front as well. It has been reported that parents collecting their children from the same New York school as her son Maddox have been asked to respect Jolie and Brad Pitt’s the privacy.

The school has had to issue letters to parents to try to prevent a media frenzy.

According to the New York Observer, the letter said, “Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms Jolie and Mr Pitt for recognition... I must ask for everyone to please respect the family’s privacy and discontinue these practices.”
