Workin' Overtime

Earlier in the evening, Paris had looked her usual glamorous self in a short sequinnned yellow, white and silver shift dress when she posed on the red carpet.

Paris Hilton appeared to have taken full advantage of the free bar at the Emmy party she'd attended, and almost came a cropper as she tripped up on the curbside

But by the end of the night, following the ungainly stumble, her behaviour took a bizarre turn when the hotel heiress was seen nimbly scaling a huge iron gate at the home of one of her friends.

As one of her friends held her designer shoes, a barefoot Paris managed to scramble over the gate without mishap, despite earlier being seen to be somewhat worse for wear.

And in other unfounded rumours, Paris was said to be following pal Nicole Ritchie down the motherhood route, and considering adopting four blonde babies.

But in true Paris style, she said: "That's retarded. No, I'm not."
