There's an old saying "It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot, than open it and remove all doubt."
Honestly, if the only thing you can think of is to quote Paris Hilton, you really really do need to keep your mouth shut.

Sure fire way to get out of trouble; ask someone at the table a question about something they love to talk about!

You can reply that you need to think on it, or can I get back to you on that? I'm not sure why you would be so tongue tied, but you can always change the subject. Start with something that you are knowledgeable about. Good luck.

Honestly, no one really talks at the dinner table anymore, I doubt you need to worry.

Get their attention by saying something outrageous like, "Hogamus higamus, men are polygamous,. Higamous hogamous, women monogamous".

There's an old Yorkshire (that's in England) saying that goes "Hear all, see all, say nowt". Good advice.

Ask questions about the people sitting around you.
Or just listen.

don't say anything at all if you can't think of what to say. And please don't say "that's hot" what if it really wasn't and you end up offending the person...that expression to me is very annoying anyways.
