Megan Fox es la tarada de la semana

Bien, la votación ha sido cerrada (gracias por sus votos) y la ganadora del prestigiado título de la Tarada de la semana es Megan Fox gracias a sus estúpidas declaraciones acerca de que Britney la protege. Estoy seguro que Megan estará feliz por ganar por primera vez un título por su idiotez y no por su físico. Mientras tanto Piru Hilton, Amy Winehouse y Lily Allen quedaron en segundo, tercero y cuarto lugar, respectivamente. Es una lástima, realmente esperaba que Piru fuera la vencedora esta semana, espero que en alguna votación próxima (porque tengan por seguro que estará nominada muchas veces más) sea la indiscutible ganadora.

Dr. Pistoph: Misbehavin’ Morons

I am convinced that our country would be a much better place if parents were to start spanking their kids again. Unfortunately kids are no longer afraid of their parents and as a result they grow up to be just plain rotten. There is a plethora of examples where young adults are misbehaving and might be acting differently if they’d been administered a daily beating while they were growing up.

Recent moronic moments include that of Kanye West who grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift while she was being honored at the Video Music Awards. Some say he had been drinking prior to the event. Who cares what might have caused his lapse in judgment? He should get 15 lashes. Then there was tennis star Serena Williams who had a few choice words (mainly f-bombs) for a line judge at the U.S. Open. What a great role model for our children. She needs to be bent over her mother’s knee for ten good whacks with a wooden paddle.

Here are a few more. Singer Janet Jackson and her famous Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction; New York Giants football player Plaxico Burress carried a weapon into a nightclub and accidentally shot himself; Britney Spears – well, everything she does; Kiefer Sutherland was drunk in public; Dallas Cowboys Terrell Owens showed unbelievably self-centered play on the field; entertainer Chris Brown was found guilty of domestic violence against singer Rihanna; Amy Winehouse was a habitual user of drugs and alcohol; actress Tori Spelling refused to stop cursing in front of her kids; actress Paris Hilton made a pornographic video – I could go on forever.  

There’s no excuse for this level of narcissism and disrespect. Besides a lack of discipline by the parents of these whackjobs there is another reason that we are subjected to such boorish behavior. There are enablers among us. And you know who you are. After Kanye West’s crass display he appeared as regularly scheduled on the Jay Leno program. Leno should have cancelled his appearance. Instead he chose to chase the ratings. For that, Jay should be whipped with my dad’s belt on his bare legs. Fifty times should do it.

10 best celebrity engagement rings

In case you haven’t noticed yet, celebrities have the best engagement rings (I guess all that money has something to do with it). Check out our list of our favorite celebrity rings:

Katherine Heigl
The Grey’s Anatomy star has a unique pear-shaped stone surrounded by pave diamonds.

Jennifer Hudson
The Oscar-nominated singer/actress is known for her large voice, but she is also known for her large engagement ring. Her Neil Lane ring has a 5 carat center stone.

Princess Diana
Lady Diana revolutionized the sapphire engagement ring nearly a decade before it became trendy.

Jennifer Aniston
Brad Pitt teamed up with Damiani Jewelry to create this unique, swirly design.

Courtney Cox
This ring, which has two center stones instead of one, has a unique “figure 8″ design.

Carmen Electra
The former model caused a little bit of jewelry controversy with this unconventional black diamond engagement ring.

Paris Hilton
Although her engagement to Paris Latsis did not last, she did get to walk away with this huge 15 carat rock.

Mariah Carey
Nick Cannon proposed to the singer with this unique pink gold engagement ring. The ring is a unique design that only Mariah owns.

Jennifer Lopez
Her $6 million 6.1 carat rock given to her by then fiance Ben Affleck revolutionized pink diamond engagement rings.

Kara Dioguardi
The American Idol judge went with a champagne citrone stone instead of a diamond.

Love,
Engagement 101

If There Was a Video Game Version of Sucking Balls, it Would Be Called Halo.

About a million years ago I played Halo on the PC. It was one of the hugest pieces of shit of all time. It was repetitive, boring, had lame guns, had an idiotic story, and was about as generic as FPS games can get. I hated it so much that I refused to play Halo 2 or 3, despite the fact that fanboys around the world heralded them as the best things since sliced bread. Which is really saying a lot, since sliced bread is the best thing since sliced bread.

A few months back, three other friends and I got together and it was decided that we should play Halo 3 online. My friend has an Xbox 360 and a huge HD TV, and I was drunk, so I figured, “Sure, why the fuck not?” We played, and it was incredible. It was one of the most fun multiplayer experiences of my videogaming life. Don’t get me wrong, it was no Goldeneye 64, but it was a pretty solid experience nonetheless.

So, after months of playing Halo 3 online with my friends, I decided I would go back in time and play through the single player campaign of Halo 2, with the intent of then moving on to part three. After all, online play was so much fun that the developers must have fixed their mistakes from the previous games, right?

That was a huge mistake.

I found myself right back where I was a million years ago when I played through the first Halo. It royally sucked ass, and here are the reasons why:

1. I played as a nameless, faceless, super strong and skilled space marine (a la Doom). The typical Halo fanboy says, “Ohhh, Master Chief is so unique and awesome, he is uber leet!!!” *cums in pants* Unfortunately, anyone who thinks Master Chief is anything but a generic genre trope is a fucking idiot.
2. I was fighting hordes of generic, not to mention comically bad, aliens. I mean, are they supposed to be funny? Shouldn’t the villains make you a little bit nervous/excited/whatever? No, apparantely not. And don’t get me started on The Flood either. They are just as boring.
3. The guns are weak and terrible. All the alien guns are huge pieces of shit. For example, the Brute Shot is this grenade launcher weapon that usually takes about six shots to kill something. Six grenades to kill something?! Are you fucking kidding me? I might as well throw diarrhea at the enemies, that would be just as powerful.
4. The story was ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZ *wakes up* “Huh? What? Oh, that’s the same thing as the first game.” ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZ
5. The levels are so fucking long. I mean Jesus Fucking TapDancing AssRaping Christ, they go on and on and on and on and on and on and on. I think the first level alone takes over an hour to play.
6. It’s repetitive as fuck. Just like the problem with The Dark Knight, the developers thought that the old saying “less is more” doesn’t apply to them. By making all the levels as long and repetitive as possible, they would be sure to have a hit game on their hands. And, well, they were right. It is a hit game. Their strategy worked, just like it did for The Dark Knight. The only problem here is that people are idiots, and they like shit that is terrible. Which is why both Halo and The Dark Knight got such great reviews. Really, this is the thing I hate most about the single player version of all the Halo games. It is just hallway after gray concrete hallway of enemies standing around for you to kill them. It goes on forever with little to no variation. Sure, you get to drive a car once in  a while, but those moments come to few and far between to make this game worthwhile.

In a perfect world where people like things that are actually good, Halo would be remembered as nothing more than a footnote amongst all the other vapid, generic first person shooters. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world. The world we live in is the same world where Twin Peaks got canceled, Paris Hilton is famous, people argue about whether Macs or PCs are better, and shitty video games are incredibly popular.

I suppose that multiplayer is the reason for Halo’s longevity. Because there is no fucking way that it is due to the single player. The developers must spend all their time making the online version fun (which is a hell of a lot of fun – just as long as you don’t get the fucking Brute Shot or any of those piece of shit guns that you have to charge up), and then the single player is just a stinky, bloody, disgusting afterbirth. That’s the only possible explanation for why it is so fucking bad.

This has nothing to do with Halo, that's why it rules.

Before you start flaming me about the content of this post, you really need to ask yourself, “Does the Halo single-player game have any redeeming qualities whatsoever?” If your answer is “yes,” then you should probably kill yourself. Or if you aren’t willing to do that, at least go play something good, like checkers or Scrabble. Those are games that will really give you an adrenaline rush, man.

Verdicts:

Doom: Awesome

Goldeneye 64: Awesome

Evil Dead Ash/Jesus: Awesome

Halo: Shitty

Paris Hilton prepara su segundo disco

Uno sabe que el apocalipsis está cerca cuando una persona como Piru Hilton está dispuesta a someter al mundo al sufrimiento incontenible al atreverse a sacar un nuevo disco. Sí, al parecer un pedazo de estiércol en forma de CD no le fue suficiente a esta fulana porque según algunos reportes, desde hace un tiempo ya tiene grabado su segundo disco y ahora está buscando disquera para que lo saque, porque debido a que el anterior vendió muy poco, su compañía de ese tiempo (Warner) le metió una patada en el trasero y la corrió.

Me imagino que a consecuencia de la búsqueda de una nueva empresa que esté dispuesta a tirar su dinero en ella, con todas las juntas que ha tenido con ejecutivos, Piru ya no se quita las rodilleras, tiene la lengua llena de llagas y ya le es imposible sentarse. Y cuando alguien le preguntó hace tiempo de qué estilo era ese vómito auditivo, Piru dijo que era parecido a las canciones de Kylie Minogue. En una nota relacionada, Kylie Minogue fue vista de camino a Hollywood, con una navaja en la mano.

Red Carpet Worthy--

I am a firm believer of having one outfit that is red carpet worthy, granted I don’t have that outfit yet… but it’s on the “List”.  Some people have vision boards or dream boards.  I have a vision book, a lil scrapbook with filled with some quotes and pictures of where I know I will be.  Amazingly enough– many things have come true– as I knew they would.

Had you met me before the fire, you would hardly recognize me now.  This has nothing to do with physical scars, it has nothing to do with a few extra lbs, or the fact that my hair is a tad longer and I like to change the color often. 

I am much more empowered now, I have a vision and I know where I want to go and who I want to be.  I know that I will make a difference, because that’s what the lil voice in my head tells me now.  

We should all be red carpet worthy… does that mean that I want to be a celebrity… not exactly.  I just want to help change a few lives… make a lil bit of a difference… make tomorrow a better day!  am stuck with the phrase “tomorrow will thank you”, so that’s my working title. 

Tomorrow Will Thank You!

Action Step: Be Red Carpet Worthy!!! What would you wear? What would the journalists be asking you? Would you run from the photographers or pull a Madonna Vogue or Paris Hilton?  I don’t know about you… but Paris does know how to pose (I would so hire her modeling coach), and I’d let the spotlight shine Baby!! Scars and All — Here I am— Read My Book– 

That’s me on the Red Carpet — now I’m off to search for the outfit I want… I’ll insert that later

MISS ITALIA 2009: TRA SFORAMENTI ED ELEZIONI SBAGLIATE, NELLA SERATA DEDICATA A MIKE BONGIORNO, MILLY CARLUCCI COLLEZIONA GAFFES E VINCE I TITOLI DI MISS-BAGLIO E MISS-FORO!

Foto tratta dal sito : Tvblog

E’ vero che la serata inaugurale di “Miss Italia 2009” era dedicata alla  figura di Mike Bongiorno, ma nessuno avrebbe mai pensato che l’impeccabile Milly Carlucci, potesse rendere omaggio al re del quiz, realizzando una così grossa gaffe, come eleggere per sbaglio una miss, al posto di un’altra. Ma andiamo per ordine. La serata sembra scorrere piuttosto bene, con una scenografia ricercata, una grafica moderna e un ritmo piuttosto accettabile. Anche il battibecco tra la conduttrice ed un suo ologramma, spacciato per la quarta sorella Carlucci, sembrano promettere un’edizione diversa, dal solito stantìo cerimoniale. Con il passare del tempo però, la formula  della sfilata delle ragazze, puntualmente giudicate dalla giuria composta da Rita Rusic, Claudio Cecchetto, Sergio Assisi, Ricky Tognazzi e Guillermo Mariotto, inizia ad essere  decisamente ripetitiva. I voti dati alle ragazze, inspiegabilmente calano,   i 7, gli 8 e in alcuni casi i 10, lasciano sempre più spesso spazio ai 5 ai 6 e addirittura ai 3, scatenando a notte fonda le ire della Patron Patrizia Mirigliani. A mezzanotte e mezza, orario previsto in scaletta, per l’incoronazione di Miss moda, da parte della super ospite Paris Hilton, la gara è ancora in alto mare. La ricca ereditiera, alla quale vanno in tasca ben 70.000 euro, di soldi pubblici, ritiene non opportuno trattenersi oltre gli orari previsti dal contratto, e decide di lasciare senza troppi problemi il palazzetto dello sport.

Milly Carlucci, si rende conto, che i tempi televisivi sono completamente sfasati, rispetto alle esigenze della rete, ed inizia per quanto possibile a velocizzare la conduzione, ma i troppi filmati, dalla durata esagerata, complicano non poco l’impresa. La  fretta si sa, è poi una cattiva consigliera, e la Carlucci per un paio di volte, sbaglia i nomi di alcune ragazze e la loro relativa permanenza nel concorso. Il fattaccio arriva però in finale di trasmissione; Sono quasi le due del mattino, il Tg1 della notte, previsto per  mezzanotte e mezza, è ancora in attesa di andare in onda, e probabili lamentele da parte della testata giornalistica, fanno scusare in diretta la Carlucci. Le telecamere, si vedono bene dall’inquadrare  il patron Enzo Mirigliani, ormai stravolto, come del resto tutto il pubblico, che ha ormai smesso di applaudire da tempo, e che, con tutta probabilità ha in buona parte abbandonato il palazzetto. Arriva il fatidico momento, di eleggere miss moda 2009, alla quale va un ricco e sostanzioso contratto. La busta arriva in ritardo, il vestito della Carlucci cede, ed il trucco inizia a mostrare qualche imperfezione, ma Milly è ancora in pista; Termine che usa più volte lei stessa, forse convinta di stare ancora a “Ballando con le stelle”.Del resto, tra ospiti, giuria, voti e musichette riarrangiate, il clima è piuttosto simile. Ma arriviamo all’elezione della fortunata ragazza. A vincere il titolo di miss moda 2009 è Mirella Sessa . A premiazione avvenuta, con Patrizia Mirigliani, nelle vesti di Paris Hilton, ormai in volo verso casa, gli autori fanno notare a Milly Carlucci, di essersi sbagliata e di aver letto al contrario la classifica. Milly stremata, non ci sta, a far la figura della cretina, e senza mezzi termini, accusa gli autori, di aver scritto i dati in maniera poco chiara. La stanchezza e la terribile gaffe, fanno innervosire non poco la conduttrice, che scusandosi con la ragazza eletta, continua a sparare critiche feroci  al gruppo di lavoro. Le 4 finaliste, vengono fatte riposizionare al centro del palco, è finalmente si viene a scoprire, che la vera Miss moda 2009 è Federica Sperlinga. Nel caos più totale, l’inviperita, ma pur sempre educata conduttrice saluta il pubblico, e da la linea al Tg1, dove la giornalista Francesca Grimaldi, non fa nulla per nascondere il suo disappunto, per il mega  ritardo di un’ora e mezza nella messa in onda.

Ingin jadi Paris Hilton!!

Mendadak saya menemukan kalimat yang tepat dengan keadaan saya saat ini : “Saya ingin jadi Paris Hilton sehari aja..”

Weits.. Kali ini bukan karena bisa punya pacar gampang atau karena doi kaya beraaat. Yah, walaupun kalo bisa dimudahkan cepet dapet pacar dan ngga perlu pusing dengan kalimat putus (ya iyalah.. Yang ngantri banyak gila) atau bisa hidup tanpa perlu mikirin duit karena tinggal merem udah bisa beli new york beserta isi-isinya.

Jadi karena apa dong? Dan kenapa cuma sehari? Kan rugi kalo cuma sehari..

Satu hal lagi kelebihan doi : “bisa pergi ke 10 party dalam 1 malam!” What a Paris!

Dan saya mau seperti dia. Bedanya, bukan party seperti party-nya Paris tapi bukber. Ya abiiis.. Besok banyak gila undangan bukber. Oke.. Bukber SMP, SMA, anak – anak Rodhe, sampe di rumah Nae ada bbq-an. Huks… Kalo ditotal ada 6 acara bukber! Huidiiiih.. Saya hits bener ya? Hwahahaha..

What a day!

Saya tidak berniat melanjutkan sampe keesokan hari menjadi Paris Hilton. Pertama, terlalu sering bersenang – senang bisa lupa daratan. Kedua, kalo iya jatah jadi Paris Hilton bisa sama keadaan uangnya. Kalau nggak? Ranca bana.. Habislah uang awak ini! Macam mana nanti mau makan ha?

Hahahaha…

Saya : “Oh Jin lampu ajaib.. Kabulkan sisa permintaanku menjadi Paris Hilton please.. ” Sambil ngelus – ngelus lampu ajaib.

“Maaf.. Si Mas Jin sedang asyik main dengan para jin lain di neraka selama bulan Ramadhan. Cobalah beberapa hari lagi setelah Ramadhan.”

“Waaaks.. Lampu ajaibnya bisa ngomong..”

“Menurut lo?”

“Kirain bisu dari kemaren.. Hehe.. Oia, lampu ajaib.. Saya lupa kalo ini bulan puasa. Yah gagal dong saya jadi Paris Hilton?”

“Get real man!”

“Waaaks.. Lampu ajaib bisa bahasa inggris!”

Rn AWARD of 08

It’s the time of the year were all the awards are flying all over the place and Hollywood and Pinewood is celebrating its achievements (man they are vain, giving awards to themselves) any way I thought we should forget the forgotten. So WELLCOME TO THE 1ST Rn AWARDS FOR THE RARE AND NOBLE.

I can’t believe she is still here award goes to…

Who else but Britney Spears. (Yeah I know she’s not forgotten but how can you forget her when its breaking news that pauses normal BBC programs to show Britney through the supermarket while she buys half a bag of frozen peas) Ms Spears deserves this Rn award because of her hard work and determination to succeed. Even when she is at the bottom of the bottom less pit she found courage and hope to hope her self and climb back to the top (oh that how she lost the pounds). But this characteristic of a “ring leader” who “calls the shorts” and doesn’t “like the back seat. Gotta be first” and not being the type of people that “observe” defiantly deserves “all eyes on her in the centre of the rings.” Lets face it people we could never do it. There just something about her that makes us all wants a “peace of her”. For that Britney spears you are truly Rare and noble.

Best entertainer of 08 is …

Well are so many (I personally think it should be me). Tina Fay, Barack Obama all were so good at making us laugh this year but the Rn best entertainer goes to is Paris Hilton. She gets by solute for her amazing new line of hair extensions ;~). Well done lady. Who else in the world could start a line of extensions and actually have people take her salubriously. But what really snatched it from Tine Fay and her impression of Sarah Pailan was her promotion videos for the presidency. (Watch it on funnyordie.com). Its hilarious. Well America has accomplishes a mile stone with a black president I wonder if they can have a bikini wearing spoiled brat running their country. It could happen after all it is America. Just image how the world would be with Paris Hilton ruling it.

The worst man in the world award goes to…

It’s not everyday someone gets a award for being totally awful well I don’t forget them. So theRn award for worst man in the world goes to without a doubt to Gorge Bush (<-I cant write W in the middle as its been taken out LOL). Sorry Bush Junior after 8 years in power I must say the only one thing you have achieved is the hatred of every single people around the world (expect for your trusted few. But I bet they really hate you inside) Before Bush’s rain the world was a better place: no depression, no war, no ridiculous inflation, and no genocide. After he came well it all started with 911 (not Porsche 911. I wish) so called terrorist attack on the twin tower and the pentagon. We all know it was framed by the COMPANY to get more oil. And sadly they did a bad job of the cover up cause there are just too many… to prove that it was more than plains crashing buildings. But that another story. So Bush takes that as an excuse to go to war. What I don’t get is if Bin Laden bombed Americawhy he attacked Iraq instead of Saudi Arab (where bin Laden is from) or Afghanistan(where Laden is supposedly hiding) and how id it go from defending the world against terrorism to war against Suddam Hussain? Oh where’s the answer to is where are those mass bombs? And Dr David Kelly death just before he was going to say weather or not there was actually any mass bombs? Yeah you can see that Bush’s departure is filled with answered question. I wonder if one day when he is old and frail the guild of so many peoples blood on his and would catch up with him and he will come out with the truth.(hhmm)oh and then the global recession don’t quite know how he is to blame there but sorry buddy you gota take the blame after all you were worlds most powerful man.

Hay let give him some credit how else could have made so many people hate him so much. Ow in this world could order genocide, justify it with lies and sit back and watch millions die because of him. (I would swear but there is no water shed in the internet) but guess what Bush you came to a better world promising so much better but leave us so much worser. For that Gorge Bush you truly are Rare and NOT noble.

22nd Most Favorite Thing About the State Fair of Texas: Funnel Cake

“Classic” is a term usually reserved for persons or things sharing an almost ineffable quality that combines timelessness, simplicity, grace, and durability of form. These things can always be found exactly where you expect them to be, and will always be the way you remember them being one year ago, ten years ago, and the first time you encountered them. Familiar and comforting, classics wait for you like old friends, standing immobile while dizzying change moves us inexorably forward. Classics are, in a word, perfect, and remain that way.

So much of the annual excitement leading up to the State Fair each year centers around the “new” — new fried food, new cars in the auto show, new rides on the Thillway, new entertainment featuring animals doing strange tricks — that I thought it would be lovely, here at number 22, to take a breath and pay tribute to a grand old favorite. A State Fair classic — the Funnel Cake.

This delicious dessert may indeed be one of the least complicated fair foods you can find. It consists, literally, of a plate of fried batter. That’s it. No special spices. No barbequed Hostess snack cakes. No melted candy bars or crushed up cookies or marshmallow garnish or dollops of icing.

Just. Fried. Batter.

To be clear, you ARE encouraged to add powdered sugar or fruit compote* to your plate of fry, but I think we can all agree that this dessert appears to be exceedingly unsophisticated when compared to everything else on offer at the Fair. It’s Jimmy Stewart in a roomful of Paris Hiltons — it may not be the most exciting or flashy thing we can find, but we’re sure about its high quality and unsullied reputation, and we don’t have to worry about it doing anything we didn’t expect.

I’m convinced that this is the very best funnel cake picture of all time (and was actually taken by yours truly!). Dan and David are two favorite State Fair friends, and in this picture, they look like they are eating purloined funnel cake — their wide eyes seem to say, “O no! We’ve been caught in the act of scarfing illicit bits of sugar and fry! Shall we make a run for it?”

A couple of notes about the Funnel Cake:

• Fried batter takes up LOTS of room in the stomach. Plan accordingly.
• Fried batter might just be a GENIUS chaser for Frito Pie. (I think I just had a lightbulb moment.)
• In my opinion, the best funnel cake topping is lots and lots of powdered sugar. Make sure to get as much sugar as possible, because my second favorite thing to do with powdered sugar on funnel cake is take a deep breath and blow it in the face of whichever unsuspecting State Fair travel companion happens to be in my immediate vicinity. Yes, I have been playing the same trick since the age of 5, but I still find it to be highly amusing.

There you have it. A State Fair classic. Delicious, and not to be missed.

*Bleh, does anyone else hate the word “compote”? It’s a terrible name for something yummy – fruit and sugar slurry (which is also not a good name, I know). Seriously, though, doesn’t “compote” sound like something that should come out of the medicine cabinet and be applied directly to jellyfish stings? Help! Who has a better word for “compote”?

Paris Hilton: La Socialite no Logra Acuerdo con Empresa de Regalos

La socialité aún no resuelve una demanda que interpuso contra una compañía que usó su imagen sin su autorización

Una corte federal de apelaciones estadounidense dictaminó que la socialité Paris Hilton podrá seguir adelante con la demanda que interpuso contra una empresa de tarjetas de regalo que utilizó de manera indebida tanto su imagen como su conocida frase “That’s hot”.

El problema se suscitó hace dos años, cuando la compañía Hallmark Cards sacó a la venta una postal de cumpleaños en la que aparece el rostro de Hilton sobrepuesto en la caricatura de una mesera que trabaja en un restaurante y sirve un plato caliente a un comensal.

La camarera le dice: “No toque eso, está caliente”, y el cliente pregunta: “¨Qué está caliente?”, a lo que ella responde: “Eso está caliente”, en referencia a la temperatura del plato; en el interior de la tarjeta se lee: “Que tengas un súper feliz cumpleaños” (”Have a smokin’ hot birthday”).

Hilton argumentó que la empresa había violado su privacidad y derechos de publicidad al robar una escena de su reality show The simple life para la tarjeta que se titula “El primer día de Paris como camarera”.

En su defensa, la firma declaró en un comunicado oficial que se trataba de una serie satírica que parodia a celebridades y a políticos, para lo cual posee derechos.

Sin embargo, un panel de tres jueces del noveno circuito de la corte de apelaciones rechazó el argumento de Hallmark, que había señalado que la representación de la heredera de los hoteles Hilton estaba protegida por la ley.

También destacó las diferencias con el “show” de televisión, incluido que el cuerpo de la caricatura era el de otra mujer y no el de Hilton; no obstante, el juez Diarmuid O’Scannlain señaló: “La ambientación básica es la misma: vemos a Paris Hilton, nacida con privilegios, trabajando como mesera”.

Paris interpuso una demanda por unos 500 mil dólares por uso fraudulento de su imagen.

Doug & Paris Back Together Like they Never Broke Up

Gossip Girls/GinsburgSpaly

We haven’t seen these two in a while (thankfully!).  They gave us a much needed Doug-Paris breather, beginning with their break up, and continuing into their reconicilation.  When the couple first publicly reunited at LAX on their way to Fiji, they played coy with the cameras, and Paris walked way in front of Doug.

Now, the couple is very much so back on-again, publicly.  And they’re still the same- Paris is as pink and “barbie-ish” as ever, while Doug is and looks too boring (even for theHills) but is still great arm candy.

They ventured to Vegas this weekend, and last night, they attended Rogue for a “DJ Hero” party.  Oddly enough, the party comes just days after the passing of famed DJ AM, who was formerly engaged to Paris’ BFF Nicole Richie.  Paris was spotted posing with new video game hardware, designed in part by AM.
