Everybody who is anybody is having phone drama these days. Who knew Paris Hilton, always a visionary before her time, would start such a trend when she got herself entangled in that unfortunate Sidekickhacking incident. The scandal brought the celebutant almost as much press as her sex video–and now telecommunications crises are the must-do of the A-list and its hangers-on.
