In case you were wondering, Paris, the city, is not named after Paris of Troy. The famous capital of France is actually named for the Parisii, the Celtic tribe that first lived there way back in the day. (Don't tell Paris any of this, though, or he'll get all pouty.)

We've had reports that Paris was looking into building a vacation house on 3317 Paris, the Trojan asteroid named after him. (O.K., maybe we were kidding about the vacation home part.)

Paris was moderately pleased when they cast Orlando Bloom to play him in the movie Troy. (But he did wish they could find an actor that measured up to his amazing handsomeness.)

There's a whole line of beauty products named after Helen of Troy.
