Then There Were Two

By Barbara Kiviat

It only makes sense that PARIS HILTON--a hotel heiress, a party princess and a being whose very life force appears to come from flashbulbs--would get engaged to ... well, herself. Fiance PARIS LATSIS is a pretty, jet-setting heir. Bingo. Hilton's mom says she's never seen her daughter happier. Here's a cheat sheet on how to tell the two Parises apart.

FAMILY FORTUNE

Paris Latsis--Reportedly $7.5 billion from shipping and other biz. He has hotels too

Paris Hilton--About $775 million from her family and moola from her own, er, career

FUTURE MOM-IN-LAW

PH--Kathy Hilton calls him Mr. Paris and debuts her own reality show June 21

PL--Marianna Latsis stunned Greek society by wedding a waterskiing instructor

RECENTLY GREW OUT OF

PL--His I-don't-have-to-care surfer-style shaggy blond-tipped hair

PH--Her former best friend and Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie

FAIR WARNING

PL--As a kid, he owned more than 100 pairs of shoes. They were sneakers, but still, it screams metrosexual

PH--She has said she wants a baby within two years. Oh, oh, please let us pick the name!
