Paris Hilton to visit Rwanda
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talent, Gossip,
Paris Hilton is sticking to her post-jail convictions…just as soon as she’s done shooting her new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera, a horror-musical. A strange combination, to be sure, but it did work for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, right?. In November (once her schedule is free), Hilton will take a trip to Rwanda. She will travel to Rwanda to raise awareness of the mounting problems taking place there, including tribal warfare and genocide. Hilton told reporters she won’t stop with Rwanda, but visit more countries where poverty and children’s issues are a big concern. She says she can do good just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues. Hilton will also make her palatial Beverly Hills home “green friendly.” Until then, Hilton is in Toronto working on Repo!, which is about an epidemic of organ failures and the repo men who come to claim unpaid debts.

Adrian Grenier Talks About Paris Hilton
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Reality, HBO, Entourage, Gossip,
Paris Hilton was recently spotted at a party locking lips with Entourage star Adrian Grenier. Now, Grenier’s ready to open up about his steamy kiss with the former reality star. At a post-Emmy party, Adrien paused long enough to answer interview questions about his make-out session with the heiress. Grenier said that Paris is “absolutely wonderful” and that he genuinely likes her. He also said they connect because they’re both celebrities. You wish, Grenier. The HBO actor did say that he and Paris Hilton aren’t dating, but they are friends…and he’s open to the possibility for more.

The 2007 MTV Video Music Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Cable, MTV, Cable/Satellite,
Before this evening’s festivities begin, the producers of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards should really thank the scandal-plagued artists who’ve unintentionally thrown publicity their way. Tonight, we’ll be thinking about those performers who’ve canceled because they need to be in rehab (Amy Winehouse) and closely watching those who should probably go back (Britney Spears).
We’d been warning you for weeks that this would be a one-time only telecast, but in case you forgot—we hope this helps. And for those who live on the West Coast (like me), you can play along and read our coverage as if it were in real-time:

Nicole Richie In (and Out of) Jail
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Talent, Gossip,
Simple Life star and famous celebutante Nicole Richie has been booked and released from jail…in under two hours. Richie was assigned to complete four days at the LA County Sheriff’s Department as part of her December 11 DUI arrest. Richie was spotted driving the wrong way on the 134 Freeway, and admitted to arresting officers she had consumed Vicodin and marijuana. Richie was sentenced to four days in jail, three years’ probation, asked to pay a $2,048 fine, and must take alcohol education classes. Nicole reported to the Century Regional Detention Facility at 3:15 pm to check in. She was processed and released at 4:37 pm. Though this quick catch-and-release might sound odd, it’s actually part of standard procedure. The Sheriff’s Department is already under federal order to reduce jail overcrowding, but crime hasn’t slowed down. This leaves the Department will few other options. Thousands of inmates have been released before their full sentences have been completed, not just famous inmates.

Paris and a Polaroid Party
Paris Hilton partied at the Polaroid Beach House party earlier this week, a star-studded event. The guest list included a lot of Hollywood hotties, but – of all people – Paris chose to make out with Entourage star Adrian Grenier. He’s the one with the curly hair and somewhat pudgy face. The HBO star must have done something right – but it certainly wasn’t his hairdo that won the famous heiress over. Perhaps he used a line her learned from his cable show? Grenier’s co-star Kevin Connolly previously dated Nicky Hilton, a relationship that ended at Hilton’s insistence. Brandon Davis and Brian Grazer were also at the party, among others.

Trump’s Celebrity Stable
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Rumors,
Though NBC canceled Donald Trump’s Apprentice, you just can’t keep the Donald down. Here’s what happened: NBC, who is failing miserably in the ratings department, canceled the Apprentice. Evidently, they realized the small ratings they were getting from the reality show was reason enough to stick – so they cancelled the cancellation. This time, Trump’s idea is to use celebrities. Recently, Trump told the New York Post that he’s in negotiations with Britney Spears. Kimora Lee Simmons, Carmen Electra, Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, and George Foreman are already part of the reality cast. Trump also said that Paris Hilton wants to be involved, but he doesn’t know if they’re going to add her to the cast or not.

Kim Kardashian Comes to E!
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable,
Out with the old… in with the new. In what can only be considered the lesser of two evils, socialite Kim Kardashian will be taking over the E! reality show throne now that Paris and Nicole’s show got the axe. Often seen with pal Paris, Kardashian—who makes headlines for her booty and sex tape—seems like a natural pick for the uninspired reality programming on E! I mean, have you seen Sunset Tan—ugh. On the upside though, I do on occasion watch The Girls Next Door, if only to figure out how the whole Hugh-Hefner-relationship-with-three-women works. The Kardashian show is not yet titled, but is being billed as a family-oriented program, which will be executive-produced by Ryan Seacrest. The show will take a peek at Kardashian’s life as a boutique owner—who knew—and her relationships with sisters Khloe and Kourtney and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie. Mom Kris and step-dad Bruce Jenner will also be along for the ride. According to Seacrest, “At the heart of the series—despite the cat fights and endless sarcasm—is a family that truly loves and supports one another. The familiar dynamics of this family make them one Hollywood bunch that is sure to entertain.” If you say so. This joins the upcoming reality show on E! featuring Snoop Dogg.

Simply Sad: Paris and Nicole Say Good-Bye
Well, that’s it. After three successful seasons on FOX and two more on E!, Paris and Nicole will no longer be living The Simple Life. I have to admit it, I love the show. I actually broke down in tears during this year’s season premiere, which showed a reconciling Paris and Nicole. What can I say? I’m a sucker for really bad TV. E! will air the final season finale of The Simple Life this coming Sunday, which will feature a play written and directed by Hilton and Richie, a tribute to their friendship together. Though E! enjoyed good ratings with the fourth season of The Simple Life, Paris and Nicole, 26 and 25 respectively, are moving past the point when silly pranks, antics, and acting up can be considered cute. Richie will become a mother before the year is out, Paris has turned into an humanitarian, and tomorrow I fully expect Hell to freeze over.

The Simple Life Gets the Axe
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Reality, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Cancellations,
The television gods have answered my TV prayers and cancelled The Simple Life. Good riddance! The reality show, which starred Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, followed the pair as they had various jobs and experiences that contradicted their posh existences. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen a few episodes here and there—marvelling at just how stupid they are, then wondering if it’s all an act—but their stupidity couldn’t capture my attention for long. Add to that the media blitz that accompanied the recent trouble they’ve gotten themselves into (Paris finishing her jail time and committing to a life of do-goodery and Nicole set to serve her four days) and I’ve just completely lost interest in them. And yet, as if people care, Nicole will be doing an interview soon to talk about herself and and formally let the world know if she is indeed pregnant. Having said all of this, I still continue to write about the pair—not a fan, by any stretch of either of them, and hoping that this cancellation is just the beginning of the world closing down their seemingly endless 15 minutes of fame. One can only hope.

Nicole Richie Gets Jail Time
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Rumors,
Nicole Richie reported to court this morning, pleaded guilty to her DUI charge and received 96 hours of jail time. The official news is out that she’s pregnant (well, so says Us Magazine) and she’s on the verge of an interview with Diane Sawyer, set to air on August 2nd and 3rd on Good Morning America and August 3rd on 20/20. You would expect once she gets all of this out of the way, she’ll be ready to settle down in her ways and concentrate on growing her body a bit to accomodate the baby. Let’s just hope this is all a giant chance for her to clean up her act—with a bun in the oven, she won’t be going out and drinking (oh she better not!) and driving under the influence. One good thing about being slightly less famous than her The Simple Life counterpart, Paris Hilton—Richie was facing 90 days to one year in jail, but got off easy with just 4 days of jail time. She has to complete her sentence in the next 60 days, showing proof of completion by September 28. She also has to enroll in a drug and alcohol program and pay a fine of $2,048. Did her new pregnancy status change anything? Did she get off easy, considering this was her second DUI arrest?
