It seems Paris Hilton isn't ready to walk down the aisle with her new boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, for the socialite has apparently told her beau that she will "think about" his marriage proposal.
It is being believed that the 28-year-old hotel heiress was less than impressed when her beau got down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage, reports The China Daily. Reinhardt proposed to her during dinner with her parents Kathy and Rick at The Ivy restaurant in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Doug, 23, presented Paris with a Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring but instead of jumping for joy, the socialite snapped the ring box shut and said she would need time to consider his marriage offer. Hours before the dinner, Doug had stated on his Twitter page, writing: "I'm
about to do something very exciting and life-changing. I'll announce what happens later."

English glamour model Nicola McLean has revealed that wearing an Indian bindi makes her feel complete and extra special. McLean, 25, who is wearing a bindi, which is an Indian piece of jewellery or cosmetic mark, on her forehead, is from Hamilton, Lanarkshire, and she has been the face of top jewellers Rox, who are designing a diamond bindi in honour of this year's tenth Miss Scotland contest.
“The Rox bindi will cost 21,000 pounds. My bindi was just costume jewellery in lookalike rubies and diamonds,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
“But whether it's made of diamonds or glass, wearing a bindi makes a girl feel extra special. I love bindis. When I was growing up in Hamilton, I had an Indian pal and I used to wear hers. It's like a 'finishing touch' when you're all glammed up. I think bindis are lucky and I always feel lucky when I'm wearing one,” she stated.
Rox, who are sponsoring the Miss Scotland contest, are using their top designer Christina Tagore to make the stunning Miss Scotland bindi. “It's made from 18-carat yellow gold, with a stunning, flawless one-carat pear-cut diamond,” Tagore said. “It will be a work of art,” she added.
The bindi is the most fascinating and mystical of all Indian body decoration, and Hindus place great importance on this ornate mark on the forehead between the eyebrows, a major nerve point from ancient times for prosperity and good luck.
Hi and welcome to my site. OK, I'm going to keep this short and sweet - I'm not going to bore you with the usual "rags-to-riches" story because I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear it.

Payday loans are short-term loans, marketed as one-time or emergency loans, that typically involve extremely high interest rates. According to the Center for Responsible Lending: “For a two-week payday advance, a borrower will pay at least fifteen dollars for every $100 borrowed. But with such a short duration these loan fees are equal to roughly a 400% annual percentage rate (APR). According to the Consumer Federation of America, a typical interest rate facing a borrower is 650%. To receive a payday loan, a borrower typically needs only personal identification, a checking account and some source of income. Payday lenders use post-dated checks or checking account data as collateral for loans
