LIV TYLER MADE A HOT CAT WOMAN THIS YEAR
A nice Halle Berry celebrity shout out from Liv Tyler this Halloween was on the celebrity radar.
“Liv Tyler, dressed as Cat Woman, takes Milo trick-or-treating with grandma Bebe Buell in NYC.”
A family at play. While Paris Hilton did her usual sailor girl, corset, Halloween attire, while throwing a big private Halloween party this year. I don’t know why America loves to dress up and hide behind masks so passionately, but here we do. Still wrapping my head around that one and the American culture in general after almost five years. I must say that Lady Gaga song, Poker Face accelerated my ability to understand Halloween and mask wearing a bit better. Girl lifted the lid on that one.

ADRIAN GRENIER AND THE TEENAGE PAPARAZZO
When I watch this clip of Adrian Grenier of Entourage making his first reality TV series in competitive Hollywood, as a past reality TV series director and writer, these are my thoughts on a teenage Paparazzo as a subject of Grenier’s producing/ director efforts in my hood.
1. Do Hollywood teenagers ever go to school?
2. Clearly Lindsay and Paris are ‘acting’ in this.
3. Good on this kid.
4. When I last caught up with Adrien, literally in the hood, two blocks from my place at Club Voyeur - I discovered that all of his paps (lines of them) were paid extras holding cameras.
5. If Lady Gaga hires paparazzi for her concerts – to look more famous, than what she is, then why can’t Adrian? What’s good for the swan, etc. That seems fair. And he is.
6. Tomatoes humor, a local art of true stars. :)
7. Grenier is very baby Ashton Kutcher in his Hollywood star template, pounding the pavements producing and directing reality TV series – for little thanks – except the hope of landing it bigger on film.

CELEBRITIES BEING BAD NEWS – IT MUST BE THE WEEKEND – 9.18.10
Despite Lindsay Lohan serving time in jail, being in a rehab program and on probation, Lindsay failed her drug test, testing positive for cocaine. That report according to TMZ, Us Weekly and Lohans twitter.
That girl who turns up at Hollywood clubs, jumps on stripper poles to amuse wasted club kids while whispering on a microphone “hey b*tches” continues her game of What’s in your purse? (oops, or man bag). The Las Vegas Review Journal reports Hilton intends to plead guilty to misdemeanor drug possession, obstructing an officer in a trade out of year of probation. She signals that police should check every celebrity’s purses/ man bags, (or their assistants, ie: boyfriends/ girfriends/ back up dancers/ security guards too) and not just hers, with this kind of publicity. Silly.
[Here's RedNation's update "report" of that. Watch video footage above--if you're missing that Hillbilly country feeling in a Cosmopolitan city. Thanks lads.]
Shannen Doherty of the original 90210 hit tv series, continues her book publicity blitz with media quoting excerpts from Shannen’s new book: How to be a Badass: A hard-earned guide to living. Radar reports that Doherty gives advice on how to maintain one’s manners with stalkers (pay for their gas-lol!). She also talks candidly about her two brief tabloid marriages to Ashley Hamilton and Rick Solomon. radar sums her book up as:
“With her frank talk about reputations, even her own “questionable” one, Shannen accepts blame for her past mistakes, but offers modern day Miss Manners style advice so other’s don’t make her same ones. She doesn’t mention her 90210 castmates buddies at all and says that her book, is ‘not a memoir. It’s a guide.”
Best quote so far from her book is: “Becoming a Badass has given me the ability to break free of my insecurities. Becoming a Badass has given me the confidence to live my life in full authenticity.” Shannen has such the way with words. Sounds like a high school essay really written during after school detention–but for twenty and thirty somethings instead.
American girls are all out doing all the things Lady Gaga says she does, by these reports.
And bad boy this week is Katy Perry‘s fiance Russell Brand of the U.K, who The Times of India report: has been arrested on suspected battery charges after he allegedly attacked paparazzi at the Los Angeles International airport. The actor was arrested for a misdemeanour charge of simple battery and was later released from custody after posting $20,000 bail on Friday.” Rusell should redirect that airport angst, and take up tennis perhaps.
Anyway, when you read stories like this, clearly you learn that it is the ‘role’ of celebrities, to act bad sometimes, because after reading this–aren’t you just the best citizen in the world–and isn’t your life 100% trouble-free with all things tickety-boo and together, without a care in the world, this fine weekend? Exactly. From Hollywood, I hope you’re having a good one. :)

CNN’s report reads: Paris Hilton was released from a Las Vegas, Nevada, jail Saturday morning after being arrested late the night before on suspicion of cocaine possession, police said Saturday.
The hotel heiress was riding in a black Cadillac Escalade which was pulled over in front of the Wynn Hotel on the Vegas strip at about 11:30 p.m. after police detected the smell of marijuana coming from the SUV, Lt. Wayne Holman told CNN.
The driver, whom police identified as Cy Waits, was arrested for driving under the influence, he said. Waits is a Las Vegas nightclub mogul and the rumored boyfriend of Hilton.
Hilton was taken to the Clark County jail. She was released after authorities determined she was not a flight risk, Holman said.
“This matter will be dealt with in the courts, not in the media, and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law,” Hilton’s attorney, David Chesnoff, said in a statement.
Last month, Hilton was briefly detained in South Africa for allegedly smoking marijuana at the World Cup. Her publicist called the July 2 incident “a complete misunderstanding,” and the case was dropped.”
Who really drives their own car in Vegas? Right.

MONKEY BUSINESS WITH PARIS HILTON
A lot of you are searching today for Paris Hilton news. It appears that since Lady Gaga came on the scene, she has out-platinumed Paris on every front, where it’s very hard for Ms Hilton to get a look in with the paparazzi. There’s enough blonde in the tabloids already. So for you Paris Hilton fans, here’s animal rights activist Paris Hilton’s Michael Jackson tribute (again) from Wire Image and via, the UK Daily Mail, just in case you miss seeing Paris Hilton’s mug on Horiwood.Com this year in 2010.

KATE GOSSELIN GETS HER OWN TV SHOW
Good news for Kate Gosselin. The mother of eight will debut her own solo reality TV show.
TLC‘s parent company, Discovery Networks revealed that Kate’s new show premise shows Jon Gosselin‘s ex-wife trying her hand at ”different jobs and tasks and showing how she performs in the different environments.”
For a feel of what the show could be like, watch Paris Hilton pumping gas on this episode of, I Get That A Lot.
Kate’s show could be quite funny. The Gosselin children will not feature in the series. Will you be watching?
UPDATE: Like all things John and Kate, you can’t believe much… TLC’s Senior Vice President of Communications Laurie Goldberg responded today with this comment:
“This is just the latest speculation from supposed sources. Last week everyone was announcing Date Kate. We are still in development and looking at a number of ideas. When we have determined what the show will be, you will hear directly from us.”

PARIS HILTON SAYS SHE’S READY FOR MARRIAGE
The two things that threaten Paris Hilton‘s image the most is that she is a) too selfish to ever marry and b) she nightclubs too much and won’t grow up.
Paris addresses those rumors in life and style and uses her current boy toy, Doug Reinhardt, as her latest ‘prop’ for the show biz heiress to get herself out of this current perception of her image.
Says Paris: ”I wouldn’t rule out a wedding in 2010,” Hilton tells Life & Style. “With how amazing everything is going between us, I see a very bright and happy future… He’s taught me how real love can feel. Doug’s taught me how to grow up and become more domestic, as in not going out as much as I used to.”
RESPECT: NICOLE RICHIE AND PARIS HILTON UNITE TO MOURN CASEY JOHNSON’S PASSING
Respect and consideration of others is a healer. Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton buried the hatchet of their supposed feud, to unite and grieve as supportive friends of the Johnson family in the tragic passing of Casey Johnson.
These girls show their class, compassion and manners when the chips are down for other families hit by tragedy. A nice effort.
The Johnson families must be so comforted that both Nicole and Paris numbered Casey in their friends. Richie and Hilton are pretty real in this moment. Good one girls. Casey’s dignity is slightly restored as Nicole and Paris love her family in their time of grief. This is the real Hollywood today in California.

PARIS HILTON AND MISS PIGLETTE: A SIGN OF OUR TIMES
This picture of Paris Hilton and her pet teacup pig, Miss Piglette, named after Miss Piggy of The Muppets says a lot about fame addiction.
Is Paris: a) reinstating the rights of pigs, after the bad rap pigs worldwide all got with ‘the swine flu epidemic’ last year?… or is Paris b) just using that pig to be the fame junkie that she is?
Either way, Paris Hilton is growing into quite an eccentric and quirky cat chihuahua pig lady. She’s definitely got her freak on in this pic for Hello Magazine of the UK.
Meanwhile, far away from Hollywood in the paradise of New Zealand, the greenest thinking nation on earth, the good folks of New Zealand still view Paris as just “a vacant space.” Poor Paris!
That being said, the socialite, fragrance flogger still ranked #51 as the biggest Hollywood star starting on the blocks in 2010 this year on Horiwood.Com. Many of you love her. :)

PARIS HILTON 51st HOTTEST STAR IN HOLLYWOOD 2009
Paris Hilton is synonymous with fame for fame’s sake. Born a hotel heiress, Paris parlayed her family’s allusion of wealth and used the Hilton name to actually become the heiress of her own fortune. In truth, she is a self-made heiress. No one can dispute that.
Paris Hilton is famous just for being famous. Her talents include talk show appearances, constantly bleaching her hair blonde, receiving numerous spray tans, creating a royal Hilton mythology with couture clothing and chandelier styled interior homes she’s bought, lived in and sold for a profit. Neighbors noise complaints always precede a house sale from Hilton.
Most of her income comes from fragrances these days that bear her name and she never rocks out to a night club unless the club pays her a $150,000 appearance fee. She is listed as one of the least charitable stars of 2009 by The Daily Beasts survey.
A slew of chihuahuas are accessories she carries in her handbags… like her many boyfriends over the years. (more…)
CELEBRITIES WHO USE FAME TO SUPPORT CHARITIES ARE
While Justin Timberlake is viewed in Hollywood as being quite arrogant behind the scenes, The Daily Beast‘s latest study that tracks which celebrities influence their favorite charities puts Timberlake on top at #1. Paris Hilton is one of the least charitable celebrities to give to others in her position of fame. To see how the survey was conducted go here. No personal charitable donations of stars was taken into account in this survey.
The Top Ten Celebrities who use their celebrity to persuade others to give to charities of their choice are:
#1, Justin Timberlake, Annual Impact: $9,262,381
#2, Madonna, Annual Impact: $5,540,068
#3, Pamela Anderson, Annual Impact: $4,840,168
#4, Oprah Winfrey, Annual Impact: $3,973,870
#5, Bono, Annual Impact: $3,598,313
#6, Angelina Jolie, Annual Impact: $3,015,070
#7, Rihanna, Annual Impact: $2,305,743
#8, George Clooney, Annual Impact: $2,184,500
#9, Salma Hayek, Annual Impact: $1,620,959
#10, Shakira, Annual Impact: $1,284,431
The celebrities who don’t use their influence very well to support charities of their choice (ie: they back charities for the publicity) are:
#50, Paris Hilton, Annual Impact: $538
#49, Robert De Niro, Annual Impact: $7,527
#48, Hilary Duff, Annual Impact: $16,800
#47, Celine Dion, Annual Impact: $30,366
#46, Jerry Seinfeld, Annual Impact: $60,036
Interesting results at a time where 62% of Americans seek a charity out to give to at this time of year.
Come on Paris! :) Seriously, if Hilton created one fragrance where all profits went to charity each year, she could change that in a mere jiffy. A fragrant thought for the heiress to think about perhaps.
And of course… Madonna totally rocks at #2.

NEW ZEALAND VIEWS PARIS HILTON AS VACANT SPACE
My country of origin, New Zealand has managed to p*ss Paris Hilton off because she doesn’t get the Kiwi’s sense of humor.
Earth Times reports that Media 5, a Wellington-based advertising company, could be sued as “Paris Hilton’s Los Angeles-based manager has threatened legal action against a New Zealand publicity company that is wooing advertisers to its empty billboards with a photo of the hotel heiress and the word “Vacant” below her face, a newspaper reported Sunday.”

KIM KARDASHIAN IS A VISION OF SERENITY
Why do we love Kim Kardashian so much on Horiwood.Com?
She’s like America’s sweeter, more real, brunette socialite version of Paris Hilton. A lot more culturally sensitive, less of a hoochie mama, far more global reaching in her appeal.
Perhaps what we love about Kim Kardashian the most, is that 2008′s most googled American on the planet is family centered before she is fame centered. Gotta love that! [image via: Cosmopolitan Magazine]
NICKY HILTON COMMENTS ON THE KARDASHIAN WEDDING
The reason why Paris Hilton was not at past BFF’s Kardashian family’s wedding over the weekend was simple. The Hiltons were not invited.
Writes Betty Confidential who interviewed Nicky Hilton, Nicky’s statement is: ““I wasn’t invited to Khloe’s wedding this weekend, but if I had been, I would have stuck to ordering her a gift off her registry – it’s always the way to go. None of our family was invited to the wedding.”
Nicky Hilton is always so sweet. Why she always gets the PR job at cleaning up her sister Paris’ wake of destruction, must be a bore for her. The truth is: Paris and Kim were once BFFs. Then Paris was rude to Kim.
The lesson: Kim Kardasian knows how to make it about family, not just fame. Paris Hilton cannot yet see beyond her own self. That’s why Kim Kardashian and Kholoe and Kourtney Kardashian are US stars today, because Kim shared her spotlight.
Sweetness and great diplomacy however, should always be rewarded. Nicky Hilton is a lovely person. To go to Nicky Hilton’s clothing line Chick and see what she has to offer, go here.
