Celebrities Playing the Moving Game

Move over Trace Adkins another smooth talker is heading to Genoa City. Her hair is about as long as the country crooner’s but that’s about all Kathy Hilton has in common with the “Celebrity Apprentice” runner-up other than the fact she also secured a gig on CBS’ award-winning soap opera “The Young and the Restless.” Paris’ mom will play herself on the May 13th episode. According to show producers, Hilton is asked to find a magazine cover model for her friend Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), but takes over the photo shoot in a manner that infuriates magazine staffers. This will … Continue reading

Pop Culture Potpourri—-Paris Pouts and Fraser’s Marriage Fizzles

When Paris Hilton was released from jail earlier this year she vowed to rededicate her life to help those in need. How charitable. But, now the 26-year-old socialite’s philanthropic posturing is really being put to the test—-courtesy of her grandfather. Hilton’s 80-year-old grandpa Barron Hilton (whose father was the original founder of the hotel chain that bears the family name) just announced he plans to donate 97 percent of his fortune to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. The charity aids the homeless, helps provide safe water in developing countries, and assists other worthy causes around the world. So what does … Continue reading

Trump Tries To Save The Notorious Trio

Man, this guy never gives up. I have never read Donald Trump’s best-seller The Art of the Deal, but I’m guessing there’s a chapter in there about persistence. After getting slammed by Rosie O’Donnell upon inviting her to appear on the upcoming “Celebrity Apprentice,” Trump is at it again. Not with the former “View” co-host, rather the real estate mogul is going after a younger, blonder, shapelier set. The Donald recently told New York reporters that he is courting the infamous trio of party princesses that have most recently called rehab centers and jail cells home. That’s right; I’m referring … Continue reading

Paris Hilton Receives Royal Treatment In Jail

Just when you thought the Pop Culture blog had become a Paris-free zone-—BAM-—the celebutante strikes again. The hotel heiress is making headlines again, though this time it’s not for shenanigans that took place outside of her jailhouse cell, but rather what occurred when the party princess was behind bars. According to news reports, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department has opened an investigation into allegations that the 26-year-old millionairess received special treatment during her 23 days in jail for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. What? Paris Hilton received star treatment behind bars? Come on… In all seriousness, according … Continue reading

Paris Back To Her Partying Ways

Well, that didn’t take long. Just days after her release from jail, Paris Hilton has returned to her old stomping grounds. According to PEOPLE magazine, the 26-year-old socialite recently hit the L.A. hotspot Les Deux for a girls’ night out. Members of the paparazzi shot the heiress entering the club a little before midnight with a group of gal pals, including her sister Nicky and music producer David Foster’s daughter, Erin. Oh, and did I mention the millionairess brought along her two beefy bodyguards who struggled to keep other club patrons from snapping pictures of her. “Paris was super happy … Continue reading

Mr. Superstitious Weds

Here’s what I don’t get… it has been widely reported that San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker is so incredibly superstitious that he insisted that he and his new bride Eva Longoria be married on 7-7-07. Only, as it turns out the couple’s civil ceremony–the one that essentially legally sealed the deal for the two high profile stars–took place on July 6th in a stuffy chamber at Paris City Hall. It’s true; French law does require a civil ceremony even when couples marry in a church, but why not simply complete both on the same day if the date matters so … Continue reading

Hot Dog History Made On Independence Day

The Yellow Mustard Belt has returned to the United States on this Fourth of July. In a previous blog I told you about six-time defending hot dog eating champion Takeru Kobayashi’s injured jaw and how his injury may squash any hope of him leaving the 2007 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest as the champ. Well, turns out the Japanese eating king couldn’t shake his arthritic jaw in time and was dethroned this afternoon in Coney Island. In what some are calling hot dog history, American Joey Chestnut shattered the world record by downing a record-breaking 66 dogs in the 12-minute … Continue reading

The Flip Side Of Fame

Much has been made of their pantyless partying and jailhouse antics, but there are a few Hollywood stars that prefer to use their fame to for more honorable purposes. Take for example, Paul Newman. Lately, the award-winning actor has been showing the needy the true color of money. Just ask Ypsilanti High School drama teacher Michelle Peet. On Monday the teacher found a $5,000 check from Newman in her mailbox with a note that read the money was to be used to help defray costs associated with the drama club’s upcoming trip to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. Newman … Continue reading

Reading Between The Lines

My best friend called me from Hawaii last night and before we hung up she asked me what I thought about Paris Hilton’s appearance on CNN. I told her to read my blog. (Just kidding.) Actually, our discussion focused more about how much the 26-year-old millionairess went on about how “rough” she had it behind bars. According to the socialite, prison food stunk, she was traumatized by the fact she couldn’t hug her family members because of that darn glass partition, and she was sooooo cold it was almost unbearable. My friend’s take on Hilton’s situation went something like this: … Continue reading

Hilton’s Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure

Just when I thought I had written my last Paris Hilton blog (hold your applause) I get word that the world has stopped revolving and people have actually gone mad… all because of Paris Hilton… or at least Paris Hilton’s trash. Allow me to explain. A while back a couple of jokesters from the website HollywoodTrash.com rummaged through the hotel heiress’ trash and placed their finds on eBay. Some of the items that were recovered from the socialite’s garbage include a used toothbrush, an autographed postcard and a fan letter to the reality TV star. All of the aforementioned items … Continue reading
