LOS ANGELES -- It was rumored that Paris Hilton would attend CTIA this week, and this morning she came out on stage during a keynote.

Unfortunately, I missed it as the bus I took decided to take the scenic route to the convention center.

But the panel discussion that followed, with Helio CEO Sky Dayton, was delayed until he could compose himself.

Dayton, who was wearing his all-black uniform with white sneakers, said he was speechless and still recovering after seeing Hilton backstage. He asked the panel, which also included executives from Digital Chocolate and Virgin Mobile, if they needed to take a shower.

One said he already did.
