Is it us, or is Mexico City becoming the new hotspot for celebrities to unveil their wares? Earlier this month, Jennifer Aniston launched her perfume at the city's St. Regis Hotel, and now Paris Hilton made a high-profile appearance in the country's capital to debut a new shoe line.

Stepping out in a beige sleeveless dress, the socialite praised her company’s glossy high-heels and, of course, herself.

"There's so many people out there who try to imitate what I do, but I am the original," Paris said. "There is nothing like me."

Hmmm, could that be a slight dig at former BFF Kim Kardashian? Once the ultimate media darling, Paris has fallen out of the limelight in the past few years. Now, with Kim constantly in the media, many have said that Hilton has lost a little bit of her reality TV luster.

Not that it bothers the 30-year-old hotel heiress. Now touting herself as a “businesswoman,” Hilton went on to describe her many projects, which include real estate ventures, running nightclubs and a new World According to Paris television show on the Oxygen channel.

"I have done everything that I wanted to do and I feel very blessed that I have been very successful on every area," she said.

Even so, it can't hurt to throw in a few plus for your products. Before the press conference ended, Paris made multiple mentions of her fragrance line, handbag business, and, of course, that lovely line of shoes.

Do you think Paris Hilton is old news? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Reporter Shanik Berman informed el mundo months ago that rockera Belinda had plans to go under the knife... The Spanish-born singer claimed her nip-tuck was not out of vanity, but would help alleviate sinus issues.

The surgery, which took place in March 2009, has now healed and is ready for primetime!

Rumors had it that Belinda was headed for a much more drastic makeover than we see here, including work on her chin.  Belinda chalked up el chisme to Camaleones producer Rosy Ocampo creating buzz around the show, which started shooting in June 2009. Belinda, who stars in Camaleones as the central character Angelica, accompanies Pee Wee and RBD graduate Poncho Herrera in the cast.

Who is reponsible for Belinda's new honker? The nineteen-year-old singer of "Bella Traición" was in good hands; the rhinoplasty was performed by experienced plastic surgeon Raul Lopez Infante out of Mexico City. [Yahoo Mujer]

The overwhelming response to Belinda's new nose in today's Twittersphere was negative, but we think the already-beautiful Belinda looks just fine.  Que piensas de la nueva nariz de la Señorita Peregrin? [Yahoo]

Wherever Jenni Rivera goes, a juicy story is never far behind:

Yesterday the regional Mexican cantante was arrested in Mexico City's International Airport before boarding un vuelo a los Estados Unidos.  Turns out Jenni was packin' -- dinero, that is.  La reina de la banda stowed away more than 50K in undeclared CASH en su equipaje.  And you thought scissors and more than 3 oz. of liquid was devious!

Rivera told authorities that she was carrying 20K on her trip, but $52,167 was discovered in the singer's carry on luggage during a random search.   Jenni's publicist, Arturo Rivera, had nothing to say about the bust.

"Cupable O Inocente"? Jenni's no stranger to legal trouble; looks like this Premio Lo Nuestro ganadora is gonna be slapped with a guilty charge.
