Pop Culture Potpourri: Paris Takes Partying to New Heights and Cashing in on Baby

PARIS TAKES PARTYING TO NEW HEIGHTS Funny, I thought Paris Hilton’s post jail promise was to give up partying and help save the world. So much for that idea. In news that should really not surprise anyone the perpetual party princess has found a way that she can get her groove on 24/7. Word has it that the former reality TV star is building a private nightclub in the basement of her new Hollywood Hills home. How convenient. According to reports, the sexy socialite is currently renovating her sprawling five-bedroom mansion (the one she just dropped $6 million on) to … Continue reading →

All Paris All The Time

Believe it or not Paris Hilton has almost completed her debt to society (well, at least for driving with a suspended license). In less than 60 hours the hotel heiress will be sprung from the slammer… and then the real (media) circus will begin. Speaking of the media… The New York Post is reporting that NBC has agreed to fork over as much as $1 million for Paris Hilton’s first post-jail interview. Network execs say the interview will appear on the “Today” show and be conducted by Meredith Vieira the day after the blonde socialite is freed. If you are … Continue reading →

Paris’ Countdown To Freedom

It’s been a few days since I’ve updated you on our favorite jailbird’s condition. As with all matters time waits for no man (regardless if he is behind bars) and by my calculations we are less than a week away from the BIG day—Paris Hilton’s release from jail. Before we address that momentous occasion let’s recap some of the Paris-related events that have transpired over the past few days: FATHER’S DAY BEHIND BARS I doubt Paris’ father, Rick Hilton, ever imagined a time that he would be visiting one of his precious daughters in the county jail—-let alone doing so … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Paris the Potter and Princely Perfume

PARIS THE POTTER The countdown is on—-Paris Hilton now has less than a week of freedom before she is mandated to report to jail for violating probation by driving with a suspended license. Check out the pictures in the tabloids and you’ll see the hotel heiress has been spending her days enjoying a lot of retail therapy and long lunches with pals. But, most recently she has been snapped exercising her skills as a potter (who knew) crafting and painting ceramics (including a Chihuahua figurine) with her sister Nicky at various L.A. pottery shops. But, don’t let her Zen-like exterior … Continue reading →

Rocker Forces Daughter to Stay in School

FINALLY, a celebrity parent I can relate to… Rocker Lenny Kravitz has put his foot down. He says he is adamant his teenage daughter Zoe will remain in school no matter what. And right now that “what” refers to the lure of a successful movie career. The 19-year-old has all ready appeared alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones in “No Reservations” and Jodie Foster in crime drama “The Brave One,” and says she would love to continue shooting more films. However, her dad has other ideas. Kravitz is insisting that Zoe (whose mother is actress and former “Cosby Show” star Lisa Bonet) graduate … Continue reading →

NBC Stars Past and Present Making Headlines

Bill Cosby is at it again. The comedian turned actor turned activist isn’t mincing words when it comes to addressing problems in the black community. This time Cosby is comparing the negative activities going on in the African-American community to “dirty laundry that needs to be washed, not ignored.” The 70-year-old author made the comment at a community college and a mostly black church in suburban Cleveland a few days ago. He also told audience members that it’s time to address problems such as teen pregnancy, crime and school dropout rates among blacks. Cosby has withstood criticism for drawing attention … Continue reading →

Celebrity News: A Birth, A Death, and a Free Man

Pretty soon he’ll be able to start his own hockey team… or at least contribute to a couple of figure skating pairs’ teams. Olympic champion ice skater Scott Hamilton and his wife, Tracie, just added another boy to their growing family. According to news reports, baby Maxx Hamilton arrived at 7:51 a.m. this morning. He weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., and measured 20 inches long, according to proud papa Hamilton. Maxx will reportedly be joining 4-year-old big brother, Aidan at the family’s Tennessee home in a couple of days. The 49-year-old gold medal ice skating champ and his … Continue reading →

Nicole Richie’s Baby Shower

Nicole Richie is not known for being conventional so I suppose it should come as no surprise that the pregnant reality TV star recently hosted a very untraditional baby shower. In a strange (albeit generous) twist, the mom-to-be donated all of her baby shower gifts to her pet charity– the Richie Madden Children’s Foundation—allowing 100 expectant and new moms at the Los Angeles Free Clinic to share in $200,000 worth of baby gifts. Richie launched the foundation with her boyfriend (and father of her unborn child) rocker Joel Madden. The Good Charlotte singer said creating the charity was an idea … Continue reading →

Timing Is Everything

Paris Hilton’s newest piece of arm candy is causing quite a stir among celebrity watchers and illustrates what can happen if you are at the right place at the right time. According to the New York Post, 22-year-old Alex Vaggo is going places… mainly in the passenger seat of Hilton’s car. The good-looking Swedish tourist was standing on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood when he was introduced to the hotel heiress. A source tells the newspaper the former jailbird immediately took a liking to him. And, now, the source says, Vaggo is living much better. (Can you … Continue reading →
