When Paris Hilton’s L.A. to London flight landed at Heathrow International last week, Paris didn’t hurry off the plane. Instead, she stayed seated and waited for everyone else to get off the plane and then, reportedly, stayed even longer while she picked out the right outfit and made sure her hair and make-up were camera-ready.

The socialite flew into Heathrow on Tuesday to film the London-version of her reality TV show Paris Hilton’s My New BFF but an onboard source told the Sunday Mirror that she stay on the plane long after all her other fellow passenger had disembarked.

The source explained: “Every other passenger had got off the aircraft but she stayed on, telling the staff she couldn’t possibly be seen in public until she had decided on her outfit.”

But Hilton overestimated her British appeal. Paris apparently expected fans and paparazzi to greet her upon disembarking the aircraft, and she was ready for her adoring public when she finally walked off the plane. But no one was there and she walked through Heathrow without any fanfare.

After picking out her clothes and applying perfect make-up, Paris finally left the plane but the source added that she was disappointed to find it was all for nothing: “Paris was red-faced as she came through the airport pretty much unnoticed.”

I imagine this happens more often than not for Paris Hilton. Not that she doesn’t have her fans, there just aren’t that many of them. Besides, if you’ve ever been through Heathrow, you know that no one pays attention to anyone else there. Celebrities are often photgraphed walking through the expanse that is Heathrow International with no one at all around them, it’s not like walking out of The Ivy or Kitson.
