Brandon Davis -- Key Person in Spelling Mansion Sale

One of the biggest real estate deals in the history of Los Angeles was hatched by none other than ...BRANDON DAVIS!!! And get this ... He'll get hundreds of thousands of bucks for his efforts.

Yes, TMZ has learned Greasy Bear -- the ne'er-do-well grandson of the late oil mogul Marvin Davis -- was instrumental in the sale of Candy Spelling's mansion.

Here's the way it went down. Brandon was at a Hollywood nightclub on April 27, partying with Petra Ecclestone -- the 22-year-old daughter of billionaire Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone -- when she told him she wanted to buy a HUGE house in L.A.

Brandon sprung into action, hooking Petra up with realtor/Paris Hilton's father, Rick Hilton. Sources tell TMZ, Rick made a deal with Brandon -- to give him a $250,000 finder's fee if Rick could sell a mansion to Petra.

Paris Pitches Fit After Getting Skewered by Babwa

Paris Hilton couldn't handle some tough questions from Barbara Walters on "The View" this week -- and threw a tantrum backstage after it was all said and done.

Walters went after Paris for bitching about having to do 200 hours of community service. And Babs scoffed at Paris' claim she wanted to help women by doing charity work. Walters wondered aloud why Paris didn't show any of her charity work on her show: "Why not present that side of yourself, if indeed it exists?"

After the segment, Paris and her dad, Rick, berated producers backstage over the tone of the interview, so says the NY Post. A rep for the show confirmed the incident, but Paris was mum.

Paris had reason to feel blue. The ratings for "The World According to Paris" -- not so hot.

Paris Hilton without Bra on london streets

Paris Hilton was spotted craving for warmth after she ditched her bra to face the chilly weather in London. The millionaire-heiress was photographed sporting a sleeveless top against the penetrating low temperature.

The socialite has been in the capital to promote her new reality show 'My British Best Friend', for which she was auditioning various girls to be her new 'pal'.  paris seemed to have very little knowledge about things in the UK, especially after she thought that Brit chef Gordon Ramsay is Britain's Prime Minister.

After the first faux pas, she was further asked about the drinking habits of Brits, to which she revealed that she did not know what a pint was.
