Lydia Hearst Rejects Britney’s Request For A Handbag

The New York Daily News reports heiress-model Lydia Hearst turned Britney Spears down when the singer asked for a purse at the Heatherette show Tuesday. “I’m only giving the bag to accomplished young women who are doing something positive to affect the world around them,” Hearst said. “They are women I look up to and respect, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker and Anne Hathaway. They share the same high standards of giving back to the communities in which they live.”
