In a new interview in Parade Magazine, Paris Hilton reveals her life strategies for feeling sexy, and says that the rumors that she’s set to play as lesbian on the television show “The L Word” are actually true. All those stories about how Paris is a party girl just aren’t accurate, she says, and she manages to handle the stress of it all and remain gracious by relying on the fine manners her non-slutty mother, Kathy, taught her. If you’re down about yourself and want to feel better, “just get a makeover” Paris says, as if we all have a team of hairstylists, makeup artists, designers and tanning spray-guys clamoring to make each of us the most plastic and orange we can possibly be.

You’ve sometimes been called a diva, but I have never once seen you be rude to anyone.

“That was definitely the way that we were raised by my mom. She always taught us to be polite. We had the best manners, so I’ve kept them.”

Any other “mom advice” you still carry with you?

“‘Put your shoulders back and don’t chew gum.’”

“My mom has always been really supportive. She’s one of my best friends. And she’s just always told me to stay the same and stay the sweet girl I’ve always been since I was little and not let any of the Hollywood stuff get to my head, and you’ll leave a good karma…”

The media seem preoccupied with the “Hollywood bad girls,” and often your name is on that list. Is that unfair?

“Yeah, you know, that’s just a stereotype they’ve come up with. And that’s fine, but I’m not a bad girl [laughs].”

We’ve even seen you under pressure during some stressful times. How do you keep the day-to-day attention from getting to you?

“I handle it really well. I don’t let that bother me or let the media or paparazzi take over my life. I try not to pay attention to things that are negative…”

Every woman has an ugly day. Do you?

“I think we’re humans. All girls feel like a “nottie” some days—like someone who isn’t turning heads. That’s just part of life. I just get a facial or a massage. Pampering yourself gets you back into “hottie”-ness…”

Not everyone can be a “hottie,” but can they still find something in themselves to feel good about?

“Definitely. I think that’s what life is about. You only live once, and you want to make it as best a life you can have. And I feel like, if people are confident and believe in themselves, that they can all be “hotties.”

“If you’re single and you want to go dating and have fun and be young and whatever, just go and get a makeover.”

When asked if she’d rather be rich or famous, Paris said “rich, because then… you can just have everything you want and not have to deal with the press and people following you,” but conceded that she has both and that “It doesn’t even make any difference. I could be happy if I had nothing.”

Here’s Paris at the LA premiere of The Hottie and The Nottie last night. It definitely looks like she was cast in the wrong role when you check out her gorgeous costar Christine Lakin. Here’s the trailer, it actually looks mildly funny. The film isin limited release in the US starting February 8.

I always thought the Sundance film festival was supposed to be respectable. Fun, but respectable. It’s original aim was to promote independent films. Tom Cruise blockbusters not allowed. But then they let in Paris Hilton. As if they need a cootie factory wandering around Utah. I’m pretty sure a whole team of epidemiologists follows Paris around wherever she goes. There’s a task force mobilized to Park City as we speak. As if anyone needed any more reason to believe Paris Hilton is a vapid, narcissistic waste, the heirhead has been toddling around Sundance, ogling her wonky eye at every swag suite she can find. She’s unofficially there to promote her crap-ass movie, “The Hottie and the Nottie.” Which is ironic, because if you see pictures of the “nottie” Christine Lakin (of “Step by Step” fame) without her “nottie” makeup, she’s a million times more attractive than Paris Hilton. But then again so is the rat that snuck in through my radiator last night. I digress. Paris is at Sundance to unofficially promote her C-movie that no one’s heard of and no one cares about. Her very presence is pretty much a slap in Sundance’s face. Instead of going with a hint of dignity, Paris decided to slut it up. No, not by wearing a bikini in the snow. She’s slutting it up by wearing a t-shirt with her own fugly face on it.

But the heiress didn’t appear particularly interested in the independent films on offer, instead focusing on just one thing - herself. The 25-year-old paraded around the city in a hot pink t-shirt with a portrait of face emblazoned across the front. She is at the event to promote her new film The Hottie and the Nottie, despite the fact it’s not in the official Sundance line up. A night earlier, Paris did what she does best - partying - this time with rapper 50 Cent. Moments before hitting the dance floor, she screamed: “Oh my god I’m having such a good time – this is the best Sundance ever!”

While it’s clear the festival has changed significantly since Robert Redford founded it as a small event for independent films in 1978, he insists it isn’t eclipsed by presence of Hollywood socialites. Redford said: “Paris Hilton and so forth doesn’t have anything to do with anything. There’s nothing pretentious - no red carpets, no limousines allowed. And so people come and mingle together like a real community of artists.”

[From the Daily Mail]

Isn’t that generous of Mr. Redford. Implying that Paris Hilton is in some way a part of “a real community of artists.” Who was that crap artist that painted all those pictures that hang in the lobbies of suburban Sheratons? Whoever they were, Paris Hilton is the acting equivalent of that hack. Though that’s probably a bit too charitable. She’s more akin to the posters that hang in McDonalds. The ones with the plastic gold frames. Just like Paris’ sunglasses. Seriously, I love that Sundance isn’t pretentious, but do they have to let every eight-legged creature in? Because they let in about two dozen of them after they hitched a ride on Paris. Paris has a history of wearing her crooked face on her shirt. X17 has a few photos – one that even seems to highlight the wonky eye. People say she’s actually a savvy businesswoman who knows how to promote her image… I just don’t think they meant it so literally.

Simon Cowell has always seemed a little odd to me – and the fact he wakes up to an identical breakfast in bed every day confirms his oddity.

“In the morning, I have a very set routine - Brenda, my housekeeper, brings me breakfast in bed, and it’s always the same thing: Porridge, papaya juice, fresh fruit and a smoothie. I read the papers, have a bath, and everything is very calm.”

Don’t you sometimes wake up and think “Gee, I’d rather just have toast this morning” Nope, not Simon Cowell. Are you too lazy to make something else? Can Brenda not make anything else?

Anyway, Simon cheerfully admits to being vain, and having botox, but he hasn’t had plastic surgery.

“Vain? Yeah, I am. But to be honest with you, I can’t think of one person who is on TV who isn’t vain. It’s the nature of the beast. If you are on TV then you have a vanity, for sure. Just admit it! Why not?”

Goodie. We like admissions. Has he had copious cosmetic surgery then? His fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh thinks he might have had pectoral implants.

“No, absolutely not. I have not had cosmetic surgery,” he sniggers.

Botox then? He sucks his (extraordinarily white) teeth.

“Yes, I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way. Then again, every guy I know who works in the City has had it now.”

And he’s not gay either. Who said he was? Is he starting his own rumours now?

“If I was, why hide it? It’s not as if the music business would be an odd place for a gay man to work. And anyway, if I was trying to hide the fact that I was gay, I would be off playing rugby every Saturday, wouldn’t I?”

The Daily Mail

Rugby players can’t be gay? I thought they could. Well, maybe while you’re out playing rugby you can also drink beer and go fishing - except gay men can do all those things too!

The good news is, Simon says in the interview that he has no plans to procreate. Unfortunately he still intends to make low quality cheap television shows, where he humiliates contestants for entertainment value.

I can’t explain it, and I should be embarrassed to admit it, but I love Star Jones gossip. Probably because she’s just so dense. Not literally dense, but in the sense that she just seemed to have no clue how tacky and disliked she was. It did seem to sink in after a while, and she admitted that in hindsight her wedding was overdone, as was her obsession with talking about it. So if nothing else, it’s nice to see some growth in terms of self-awareness. In anticipation of her upcoming show on CourtTV, Jones is writing a confession of sorts for Glamour magazine, out August 7th. Titled “Getting Over Myself,” the piece discusses her dramatic weight loss of an estimated 150 pounds. In the past, all Jones would say was that she had “medical intervention.” Of course that could mean ten different things. Most believe that she had gastric bypass surgery, considering how quickly she lost a dramatic amount of weight.

“The Star power hour will be a chatty daily compendium of the top stories from the worlds of law, news, pop culture and entertainment. In other words, it’ll be everything from Scooter Libby to Paris Hilton to “Harry Potter.” At least that’s the plan.

“’Provocative television that’s entertaining and relevant — not for insult or embarrassment purposes, but for inspirational purposes and entertainment purposes,’ is how Jones described her hopes for the tone of her show to TV critics during a Court TV news conference Sunday morning.”

[From the Detroit Free Press]

It sounds like Star is trying pretty hard to make nice, and that’s a good thing. She’s acknowledged that she was self-absorbed and given to ridiculous extravagances in the past. I think her “talent” for self promotion, and the way it annoyed people, really clouded the fact that she’s pretty sharp. She was a New York City criminal prosecutor before joining “The View.” If she could wipe out all her boasting for good, she could still have a really great career ahead of her.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Star Jones is shown in her side career as a lobbyist in a picture from 4/23/07 in which she was visiting Congress on behalf of First Star, which strives to bring awareness to child abuse. It was also sponsored by Build a Bear workshop, so surely she got paid. Thanks to WENN for this picture.

If Dita Von Teese hadn’t married Marilyn Manson her career would never have taken off. I’d never heard of her before she married Manson.

She’s a stripper with fancy accessories. You can call it burlesque or any name you like, but she’s taking off her clothes to music. There’s nothing wrong with that, but she seems all snotty and self-satisfied as if she’s acting in art films rather than giving people a glimpse of her goods.

Dita stripped for Hugh Heffner’s 80th birthday party in Paris on 5/29. TMZ has a lousy video of her stripping that isn’t worth the wait. Listen to the crap she says about other strippers:

So, you’re saying that you gyrate better Dita? I mean, you’re good at your job and all but you’re a stripper. Get over yourself. If you weren’t Mrs. Marilyn Manson you wouldn’t be famous.

Dita and Marilyn aren’t going to last. She’s too full of herself.

Here’s a link to a high quality YouTube NSFW video of Dita stripping in New Orleans. (I would have included it here, but embedding is disabled for this video.)

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque stripper wife of Marilyn Manson, is getting too big for her glam britches. She somehow thinks that showing up for stuff and taking off her clothes qualifies her to deem most starlets “forgettable”:

Who remembers Cher at all? I don’t. And Madonna is only memorable for pulling tired ass stunts this week.

Dita, you look like you’re the product of a team of retro stylists, so what are you talking about? You’re balanced precariously half a step up from an average stripper. Cultivating a 40s image and being Mrs. Marilyn Manson doesn’t give you enough credit to bash women who star in actual films.

Here’s a shaky NSFW video of a Dita strip show:

And here she is shopping in NY [via] and at Cannes. Now that I’ve read this quote from her, I realize that the serene look she always sports is just her being smug.

Tom Cruise actually attended the Mexico City premiere of Mission Impossible 3 on Monday. He seems to care more about his fans than his wife and new baby. No other stars from the movie, not even secondary ones, appear in the premiere pictures so it can be assumed that he’s the only one who went. If I’m wrong let me know.

When asked about Suri at a press conference, he said: “The hours go by so quickly, as I just stare at her.” He also dismissed claims that he ate the baby’s placenta, calling them “ridiculous.” You said it, Tom.

Here’s a brief video of excerpts from Tom’s press conference in Mexico. He discusses MI3’s director, JJ Abrams, and baby Suri. He seems distracted, tired, and out of sorts.

And here are pictures of him basking in the attention.

David Blaine held the kick off press conference today at Lincoln Center for his week of living in a snow globe. As if it’s not entertaining enough for us to watch Blaine be a human goldfish for a week, he’ll attempt to escape from a bunch of chains and then try to break the world record for holding his breath:

I really doubt he’ll break the world record for holding your breath underwater. That’s got to be next to impossible fr someone who’s already worn down like that. It would have been good enough if he just lived in the water sphere for a week - he doesn’t have to throw the stupid chain stunt and breath holding into the mix.

So when Blaine dies, whenever it is, his obituary will include the fact that he lived in a coffin for a week, in a see-through box without food for 44 days, and in a water globe for seven days. I would prefer that mine says that I’m survived by my children. Really, the guy is an attention hound and is going to seriously hurt himself.
