The Hacienda, Ca., native had more than a colorful personality; he had a penchant for accessories and outfits that would make a kaleidoscope cry out in envy. Onch was a character through and through, and he quickly became someone Paris Hilton could depend on while competing for her friendship on the first season of " Paris Hilton's My New BFF ." Things weren't all technicolor roses, though. While Onch generally sat in Hilton's good graces, his fellow competitors didn't always hold him in as high esteem, and after he was voted one of the "fakest" in the house, Hilton eliminated him from the competition. Still, she sent him off with a "TTYS," rather than the standard "TTYN," which translated to "See you soon, bitch." Now, Onch's jewel

A study showed an amnesiac remembers a celebrity the rest of us forgot about. A young woman who has suffered with from amnesia all her life can recognize Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton but didnt recognize Secretary of State Hillary Clinton . The study, at Baycrests Rotman Institute in Toronto, Canada , features HC, a 22-year-old woman who has amnesia, and proves that retaining information that is familiar is easier than retaining information that is unfamiliar, according to scientists. HC has amnesia due to a reduced hippocampus its volume is half that of a normal person because of a lack of oxygen during her first week of life. The hippocampus is the part of the brain involved in forming memories. HC, a self-proclaimed entertainment buff, was unable to place Clinton, despite the politicians fame, because she does not know of her. HC is a relatively normal-functioning college graduate who enjoys watching movies and celebrities. The studys lead investigator, Nathan Rose, a post-d

Date: Wednesday Nov. 9, 2011 2:28 PM ET A 22-year-old woman with a problem in a key part of her brain is offering Toronto researchers new insights into the way humans recall new information. And while she might not realize it, Paris Hilton helped a little too. The woman, known only as "HC," has had problems with her long-term memory since she was born. She was deprived of oxygen in her first week of life, and as a result, a tiny part of her brain called the hippocampus developed poorly, growing to only about half the size that it should. Since the hippocampus plays an important role in helping us organize both our short-term and long-term memory, HC often has trouble recalling events from even a few years ago. And yet, she is otherwise normal: she's graduated from a technical college and is an avid film buff and celebrity watcher. She simply has trouble remembering such things as being a flower girl in her cousin's wedding. HC's particular injury provided researc

ScienceDaily (Nov. 9, 2011) A 22-year-old woman known as "HC" with amnesia since birth as a result of developing only half the normal volume of the hippocampus in her brain, has demonstrated to scientists that the ability to hold a single face or word in short-term memory is impaired. But there's a catch -- only if the information is unfamiliar.
