"For Pippa Middleton, what happens in Paris doesn&amp;apos;t always stay in Paris.\r\nDuchess Kate&amp;apos;s famous sister, 27, sparked brand-new global  headlines for all the wrong reasons on Monday when it was revealed that  she was involved in a disturbing &amp;quot;gun-waving&amp;quot; incident in the City of  Lights Saturday.\r\nBut that trouble was a universe away on Friday night, when the royal  bridesmaid was the biggest VIP in attendance at the lavish, raucous 29th  birthday of her fashion mogul friend Arthur de Soultrait (French magazine Gala).\r\n\r\nHeld at a Paris nightclub, Soultrait&amp;apos;s over-the-top bash had a Marie  Antoinette/Louis XIV theme, with many guests and performers dressing the  part -- including one burlesque dancer who popped out of a giant  birthday cake to kiss the birthday boy. (Speaking to a reporter in French, Soultrait says Middleton is &amp;quot;a friend&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;supercool.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nMiddleton herself wore a sexy red 18th-century style dress and gold  face paint. Exclusive video from inside the bash (see more photos and details at Gala&amp;apos;s website) features Middleton dancing and flirting with male partygoers.\r\n\r\nThe next day, she was in the front passenger seat of an Audi  convertible when the driver, an as-yet-unidentified male, jokingly waved  a gun at photographers. Middleton (and Soultrait, who was in the  backseat) could be prosecuted by French authorities for their  involvement; the man wielding the gun could face up to seven years  behind bars.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Anybody involved in the illegal use of a handgun in public is liable to arrest and interrogation,&amp;quot; a police source told Us Weekly.\r\nGo inside the wild party the night before the shocking incident -- watch this video now."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
