Celebrity Confessions

Oscar winner Halle Berry cries every Sunday night… and she has Ty Pennington to blame. No, the “Extreme Home Makeover” designer didn’t dis the actress years ago; rather Berry confesses she is addicted to the show and sheds tears as Pennington changes the lives of those in need. The self-described “interior design nut” says she makes time each Sunday to watch the popular TV show. Now, she says she and her boyfriend are anxiously awaiting the start of the show’s new season. According to Pennington, this season will include a major milestone–the construction of show’s 100th house. Pennington also reveals … Continue reading

Nicole Richie Jail Bound

Now BFFs Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton have one more thing in common—serving time. Just a few hours ago the 25-year-old daughter of Lionel Richie pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and was sentenced to 90 hours in jail (roughly 4 days) and fined more than $2,000 by a judge who admonished her behavior. According to news reports, the judge also gave Richie three years’ probation and warned her that if ever drove drunk again and killed someone she would be charged with murder instead of manslaughter. Witnesses in the courtroom said the judge lectured Richie for … 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

Celebrity Updates: Hilton’s Trash and a New Addition to the Royal Family

In a previous blog I wrote about the outrageous appeal of Paris Hilton. The just freed jailbird’s popularity was tested and further proved during a recent eBay auction. A couple of jokesters from the website HollywoodStarTrash.com rummaged through the celebutante’s garbage and put a few items on eBay. The results are now in and they may surprise you. An empty container of gourmet dog food taken from Hilton’s trash fetched $305 in the online auction, which wrapped up this weekend. In addition, a used toothbrush sold for $305; two envelopes sent the hotel heiress while she was in jail sold … 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

The Post Mortem On Paris’ Interview

Did you happen to catch Paris Hilton’s first words as a free woman? I saw bits of pieces of her taped piece while I was getting my daughter ready for bed. The CNN interview (her first broadcast interview since leaving jail Tuesday) was conducted by Larry King and was just as I figured it would be—filled with awkward pauses as the heir-head–I mean heiress–collected her thoughts and tried to put them into words. If you missed the interview, which detailed the socialite’s 23 days behind bars here’s a sampling of what you would have heard: According to Paris, being locked … Continue reading

Paris Postscript

Well, you didn’t expect her to go on Larry King looking like she just spent 23 in jail did you? Oh wait. That is the reason Paris Hilton is appearing on the CNN show tonight. It’s been more than 24 hours since the hotel heiress strutted out of the Century Regional Detention Facility wearing tight jeans and $300 stilettos. Twenty-four hours later and any hope that the party princess had a major ego adjustment as a result of her time behind bars seems to be fading. The first sign that the celebutante’s stay in the slammer hasn’t readjusted her priorities—the … Continue reading

Free At Last—Paris Walks

While most of us were nestled in bed (please don’t tell me you stayed up to watch it unfold), one of the country’s most talked about jailbirds took flight shortly after midnight Pacific Time. Paris Hilton is once again a free woman. With a huge grin plastered on her face the hotel heiress strolled out of jail and into her mother’s arms. The 26-year-old party princess was dressed down in an olive jacket, white shirt, tight jeans, and her hair was pulled back in a braided ponytail (reminiscent of her days on the farm during the first season of her … Continue reading
