Hilton: Richie Doesn’t Know Baby’s Sex

Socialite PARIS HILTON is adamant the sex of pal NICOLE RICHIE’s baby is
unknown – despite guests buying boy-themed gifts for her baby shower on Sunday
(18Nov07).

One guest at the party sparked rumors the star was expecting a boy after she
presented the 26-year-old with sneakers and a maternity T-shirt emblazoned with
a picture of a boy on the front.

But Hilton, who co-hosted the event with friend Masha Gordon, insists first
time mother-to-be Richie doesn’t even know the sex of the child, and wants it
to be a surprise.

She says, “I (didn’t) know what to get her. Because most of us don’t know yet
what she’s having. She doesn’t know if she’s having a boy or a girl. I thought
for sure she’d want to know, but she decided to wait.”

Speaking before the baby shower, Hilton admitted her first time hosting such
an event was a daunting prospect: “I honestly don’t know what you play at a
shower. Maybe I’ll find a book or something to get some ideas.”
