I'm Not Like That Smart

Paris Hilton at a Teen Vogue party in LA on September 20th
In audio tapes set to air on Dateline NBC this Saturday, Paris Hilton tells Los Angeles police " . . I don't remember. I'm not like that smart."
LAPD Detective Steve Koman and Deputy DA Hoon Chun were asking Hilton to remember what she told Francis at a party shortly after the "Girls" mastermind was victimized on Jan. 24, 2004.
Francis passed on Paris' information to cops, who eventually busted Darnell Riley. But when investigators pressed Hilton to recall her talk with Francis, she didn't remember much, The Post's David K. Li reports.
"I like forget stuff all the time," she said.
Koman, however, jumped to Paris' defense and encouraged her to think again.
"Don't cut yourself short," he said in the "Dateline" tapes.
Hilton also told cops "private tapes" were stolen from her home - and that a mysterious caller wanted money for the hot goods.
"They . . . wanted money. They were tryin' to sell it to like a newspaper or something," said Hilton, who balked at paying - and chalked it up to advice from dear old Dad.
"So if you pay somebody, then you're gonna be paying for the rest of your life," Hilton said. "My dad always taught me. They'll keep the tape anyway."
