MOVE over, Paris and Nicky Hilton: a new batch of blood-linked hotties has emerged to capture the eyes of the international fashion crowd.

"More than any of the other leggy young scions coming down the pike, Amanda and Lydia are perfectly positioned to be the next big thing . . . or the next big Hilton sisters, as the case may be," said Vanity Fair's society editor, Kristina Stewart.

"They're both shockingly pretty, they come from serious money on their mothers' side, and they've actually been raised in disciplined home environments," Stewart marveled.

Whoa Nellie!! Kristina needs an eye exam!

In other news, Christopher Hitchens to quit The Nation, Snakehead Carville is becoming a Hollyweird producer, and two more "celebrities" try to push their agendas on Capitol Hill ( WashPost):

Cause Celebs Lisa Marie Presley and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, have been traipsing the halls of the Congress lobbying for their respective pet projects. Presley, a Scientologist and mother of two -- whose brand-new, third husband is actor Nicolas Cage -- will be testifying today before Indiana Republican Rep. Dan Burton's House Government Reform Committee on the evils of hyperactivity medication for children.

Weight Watchers spokeswoman Fergie has been buttonholing everyone from Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on legislation to combat obesity.

I strongly oppose the overuse of Ritalin, too, but - unlike Presley - I wouldn't substitute it with some phony baloney cult/scam like Scientology. Sheesh. And federal legislation on obesity? Welcome to Bizarro World.
