Grenier: 'I have a lot of respect for Paris'

Entourage star Adrian Grenier has praised Paris Hilton for her handling of the media.

The pair were forced to deny claims that they were romantically involved after being spotted out together last summer.

Commenting on their friendship, Grenier said: "I have a lot of respect for Paris. She's ballsy. She's learned to play with the paparazzi attention and have fun with it, and she creates little mysteries in the tabloid arena.

"She's an artist painting on a different canvas. I have fun with her, but it's always been platonic. [Our relationship] wasn't sexual - though I can understand that sex sells."
