Here's Paris Hilton killing time before Saturday's MTV Japan Video Music Awards by indulging in a little light retail therapy in Tokyo.
But was the hotel heiress too engrossed in her shopping to notice she was surrounded by paparazzi? Well, what do you think?
Later, Paris went solo on the red carpet at the swanky awards bash...

...before jetting back to Los Angeles to join boyfriend Benji Madden at last night's MTV Movie Awards...
Incidentally, it was immediately following the same event last year that Paris drove straight to prison to begin her infamous stint behind bars.
And what a difference a year makes, eh? Twelve months ago, Ms Hilton was just another pointless "celebutante" who spent her time flitting between upmarket fashion stores and glittering red carpet events. And now, of course... erm... could someone help me out here, please?
