Who knew that Michael Jackson asked the Hilton's for permission to name his daughter Paris! In a statement to Extra, Paris Hilton revealed:

"My mom and Michael went to high school together and they were best friends since they were 13. So I grew up knowing Michael very well and when he had his daughter, he always loved the name Paris and grew up being an uncle to me. So he asked my mom if it was okay and of course she said yes and I think she's such a beautiful little girl and I'm proud we have the same name."

Honestly, Michael Jackson was close to the absolute RANDOMEST people.
