You may have read about the Nick Ut images taken of Paris Hilton. Nick is the photojournalist who received a Pulitizer Prize for the Vietnam War image of Kim Phuc. He is no longer shooting conflict, but working in LA for AP and photographed Paris crying in the car as she was being returned to prison.
There was an interesting piece in the New York Daily News (Gossip Section!) about this entitled A Far Cry From Viet Nam. It also includes the referenced images.
