    BEIJING, Sep. 22 -- Paris Hilton raised eyebrows at a recent photo shoot by openly flirting with Brazilian playboy Ricardo Mansur.

    The partying heiress ¡ª who is engaged to shipping heir Paris Latsis ¡ª cast "long, loving looks" at Mansur, reports our below-the-border source.

    Mansur has been linked to model Gisele Bundchen and is currently dating a Brazilian actress.

    Hilton seems confused about another partnership as well.

    The star of the reality show "The Simple Life" was telling people that she had no idea who her co-star would be, even though show insiders say that Nicole Richie has a contract to appear opposite in the series. Hilton, however, is telling people "we start shooting in November, but I'm not sure who I will appear with."

    Hilton has enjoyed certain aspects of Brazil other than Mansur, going to a nightclub and belting out two songs from her forthcoming album. "The crowd went wild," says our source, "in a good way."
