(AP) American socialite Paris Hilton checked out Shanghai fashions, cuddled stuffed pandas and sauntered along the famous waterfront Bund on Thursday while visiting China's most style-conscious city for the MTV Style awards.
"Shanghai looks like the future!" Hilton said in a news conference at the Hyatt on the waterfront, one of the newest landmarks in a city teeming with new skyscrapers.
The celebrity heiress, author, singer, perfume designer and reality TV star was spending two days touring China's commercial capital before Friday night's gala awards for Chinese style and fashion trendsetters.
A visit to the city's jam-packed Yu Yuan Garden gave her an authentic taste of Shanghainese "xiaolongbao" - juicy steam buns and flower tea - and the crowding common in the city of more than 20 million people.Photos: Paris Hilton
But Hilton, unfazed by the press of onlookers, carried on with her shopping, pausing to hug an elderly lady and to pose in several dresses by Chinese designer Lu Kun, one of the city's hottest new fashion stars.

Nobody cares.
Who gives a crud? What is it with the weirdness of this world that people are so fascinated by such a vacuous caricature of a person? What about things that really matter? I don''t deny anyone their happiness, including both the people who seem to enjoy these meaningless stories as well as Paris herself. But this fascination doesn''t makes sense to me and is disturbing.
Air kisses! Tee hee!
