SECAUCUS AND BEYOND — Gossip blogs on the internet have speculated that socialite Paris Hilton may be dating young Secaucus actor Paul Iacono, after the two shared a passionate kiss after the MTV movie awards on Sunday night. However, the kiss was assumed — at least, at first — to be a publicity stunt, since Iacono’s new comedy show, “The Hard Times of RJ Berger,” was set to premiere directly afterward.
The series — about a hapless teenage nerd — is produced by David Katzenberg, the longtime boyfriend of Paris’ sister Nicky.
One gossip website reported:
A party guest says, “We thought it was a publicity stunt at first, but Paris was really making out with this guy.” And Paris, whose sister Nicky Hilton is Katzenberg’s longtime girlfriend, has fueled speculation that the young actor is her new man with a post on her Twitter blog. She writes, “My new boy toy is hot,” and links to a picture story about her night of passion with Iacono. If the romance is for real, the young actor will be the socialite’s first boyfriend since she split from reality TV star Doug Reinhardt in April.
Paul Iacono grew up in Secaucus and landed various acting roles, eventually starring last fall in the remake of the movie “Fame.”
He will be the subject of a story in this weekend’s Secaucus Reporter, which will also appear here on the web at www.hudsonreporter.com starting this Sunday.
The Reporter has also written about Iacono over the years; links to prior stories are below after this article.
If Hilton is dating Iacono, 21, there would be a bit of an age difference, as Hilton is 29.
So do you believe the two are dating? Or is it as real as Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag’s separation? Or…do you just want to complain that this is taking space away on the internet from all of our hard news? Comment below!
