Paris Hilton Takes On John McCain

John McCain and Barack Obama have taken on many issues, policies, and politicians in their day, yet I’m not sure that they can handle what has come next for them. In fact, they just might want to team up to take on this very powerful common enemy that has ostentatiously made herself known: Paris Hilton.

The infamous heiress recently released a spoof video (seen after the jump) as a response to John McCain’s recent political ad, in which Paris makes an unauthorized appearance. I would, too, if my family donated a few million dollars to his campaign and my face ended up in his commercial without my consent!

In the video, Paris pokes fun of the “wrinkly” senator as well as his opponent and herself, suggesting that she run for president and paint the White House pink, among other things.

McCain vs. Obama

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Television, Rivalries, Editorials

Presidential contender John McCain isn’t going to let pithy messages from Paris Hilton keep him from the goal - making competitor Barack Obama seem like the lesser of two choices.

Today, many are busy laughing at Hilton’s recent comeback to John McCain’s political ads, but already the republican has issued a new anti-Obama spot. The new TV spot is in the same vein as the one which came before, wherein McCain likens Obama to celebrities like Hilton and Britney Spears.

Entertaining Politics

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Rivalries, Videos, Editorials

Politicians are not celebrities. Celebrities are not politicians. ...Or, are they? The fur is really starting to fly in the election. Presidential candidate John McCain has likened Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Rappers who support Obama have released tracks dissing John McCain. What happens when politics and celebrity mix? Nothing good.

In one of his political ads, McCain seems to be trying to undermine Obama as a presidential contender - calling him a star instead of the vehicle of change Obama claims to be. It isn’t odd for politicians to use celebrities to further their own cause, and it isn’t even odd for celebrities to decide to become politicians.

So maybe it’s even the norm for celebrities and politics to mix…but should they? Sometimes, celebs can do much more harm than good when they back a certain candidate.

Shia LaBeouf’s Passenger Isn’t Dating Shia

By the looks of it, Shia LaBeouf’s DUI charges may not be the last of his problems concerning this accident.

Days have gone by with all of us wondering who was in the passenger’s seat? Well, turns out it’s his Transformers 2 costar Isabel Lucas. The problem is that Lucas isn’t dating Shia—she’s dating Entourage star Adrian Grenier!

Lucas, who has been dating Grenier since February, may be in a bit of a relationship difficulty, considering sources are saying Grenier isn’t happy with the fact that his girlfriend was out partying with her gorgeous costar in the wee hours of the Hollywood morning. When asked to comment on how Lucas was feeling post-crash, Grenier became a bit quick-tempered and refused to comment.

It may have been a slightly bad call on Isabel’s part, seeing as her “friend” has a misdemeanor on his hands for drunk driving.

Cyrus Mocks Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato

UPDATE: You can hear Miley delivering a weak explanation for her video here.

Thank goodness I wrote that tween primer the other day. Otherwise, I’d probably have no clue who half these girls were.

When I mentioned that Selena Gomez was now linked to Nick Jonas, I forgot to mention one minor detail: Nick Jonas was previously linked to Miley Cyrus. That last piece of information is important because it’s believed to be the reason behind Miley’s recent YouTube parody.

In the following clip, you will see a video made by Selena Gomez and friend Demi Lovato. You will also see Miley and her friend, Mandy, doing their best impressions of the two girls. Do you think Hannah Montana was being funny...or was she simply acting nasty?

Whether it be on an iPhone or on home video, Miley sure does love to expose her true colors!

Spencer Pratt vs. Mary-Kate Olsen

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: D-List, Television, Rivalries

After being made a fool of on David Letterman (twice!), Spencer Pratt has decided to lash out at former classmate Mary-Kate Olsen.

Earlier this month, The Hills star made a guest appearance on the late night program and was put on the hot seat by the talk show host. (You can see that video here.) When Pratt claimed that he receives fees of $100,000 to appear at clubs, Letterman simply couldn’t hold back the laughter.

Fast forward to past Thursday when Mary-Kate Olsen was on the same show promoting her new movie, The Wackness. David asked if Olsen had gone to school with any of the young stars in the news today—and that’s when the subject of Spencer Pratt came up. (You can see this clip after the jump.)

Jessica Simpson’s Fashion Dis

Posted by K.C. Morgan

Singer/actress Jessica Simpson was recently caught out and about by the paparazzi wearing a controversial T-shirt. By using the message on her shirt, is Simpson sending a message of her own?

The T boldly proclaims “Real Girls Eat Meat,” a little non-vegetarian humor to combat the popularity of Ts with messages like “Meat is Murder,” no doubt. But perhaps this bit of humor goes much deeper than an affection for char-broiled burgers.

Simpson just so happens to be currently dating Tony Romo, who is the ex-boyfriend of famous vegetarian Carrie Underwood. The American Idol winner has been very vocal about her nutritional leanings, named “sexiest vegetarian” by PETA twice. When viewed from the perspective of relationship history, Simpson’s shirt suddenly takes on a whole new connotation...doesn’t it?

The press seems to think so. Today, Jessica’s shirt is appearing on entertainment sites all across the Internet. One unnamed source is reported as saying “Jess is sick of hearing about how Tony still has feelings for Carrie. She’s obviously trying to poke fun at her rival and let her know who really has Tony’s heart.”

Sean Combs Answers LA Times

Posted by K.C. Morgan

An inflammatory article published by the LA Times has brought about quick response from entertainment mogul Sean (P. Diddy, Puff Daddy) Combs. The article suggested that Combs, along with Notorious B.I.G., Jimmy Rosemond and a promoter, knew that rap superstar Tupac Shakur was to be gunned down before the event happened on November 30, 1994.

Seriously, I like tasty entertainment gossip as much as anybody, but isn’t this old news? What was the LA Times thinking, anyway? At any rate, the story was published and now Combs is pissed. In a statement released today, Combs addressed the allegations: “This story is a lie. It is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story.” Well.

Share the Spotlight? Not Christina Aguilera

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Rivalries, Rumors

They shared the same delivery weekend, but no way will Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie share a magazine cover - not if Aguilera has anything to say about it.  Despite negotiations which took several weeks, Aguilera has nixed a deal with OK! Magazine for an issue which was supposed to contain photos of the diva and her new baby, Max. Because the magazine couldn’t guarantee a full-cover photo, Christina walked.

The decision not to give her the full cover, according to one “insider,” stems from the wedding photo spread the magazine previously did on Aguilera. The source says the issue didn’t sell as well as the magazine had hoped, proving she’s not a big seller when it comes to print media. Another source, who is supposed to be familiar with Christina’s magazine contracts, says Aguilera’s contract states no magazine running photos of Max may run photos of Richie and her new baby. “Christina can’t stand Nicole,” said one source.

OK! Magazine says they cannot comment on celebrity contracts.
