When Paris Hilton sat beside George Clooney at Hollywood hot spot Dan Tana's on Dec. 20, it just looked like a bizarre business meeting. After all, the duo were joined for dinner by a group that included director Ridley Scott, Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel and Brittany Flickinger, the winner of Paris' BFF reality show. "It was an odd group for a dinner party," notes an onlooker.
