Paris Hilton Takes On John McCain

Paris fights back at McCain's ad

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.

Ali Lohan’s New Music Video

Earlier this month, we introduced you to Ali Lohan’s new single. Now we’re getting our first look at the video for ‘All the Way Around.’

While the video does a good job of making the reality star look far more wholesome than her bigger sister, I’m confused as why this was constructed with clips found on ‘s editing floor. Seriously - if I wanted to see more Dina Lohan, I’d actually watch the show.

John McCain, Barack Obama

Politicians are not celebrities. Celebrities are not politicians. ...Or, are they? The fur is really starting to fly in the election. Presidential candidate has likened 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 Talks About Being Wasted

Given the news about Shia LaBeouf’s recent DUI, this interview he gave back in May really doesn’t seem that funny.

On Late Night with David Letterman, the 22-year-old promoted Indiana Jones and gave a detailed explanation for his drunken arrest at a Chicago Walgreen’s. While the actor did admit to being “a moron,” he also lovingly referred to alcohol as “special magic sauce.”

When asked what he learned about his run-in with the law, LaBeouf eerily said: “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping...it’s just as bad.”

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 . 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!

Listen to Hayden Panettiere’s New Single

Categories: Music, Television, Videos

Here we go again. There’s yet another television star who wants to make it as a singer. This time around (Heroes) is the one assaulting our ears.

In a recent interview on his radio show, the 18-year-old told Ryan Seacrest she’s invested a lot into her music. In fact, she’s actually been working on her album for four years. (I can only imagine what 14-year-old Hayden would have produced.)

Listen to her new single, ‘Wake Up Call’, and let us know your opinions. Am I the only one who thinks the music doesn’t match the tone of the video?

Drew Barrymore: Another Relationship in the Toilet

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long

Now I realized this was going to happen some day, I just didn’t think it was going to happen so soon....

Back in February, I predicted Drew Barrymore’s seemingly perfect relationship with her most recent boyfriend would eventually crash and burn. Why? Because she made the mistake of going public with it. And now, after about a year of dating, Drew and Justin Long are already over.

Earlier this year in an interview with Vogue, the actress got all gushy when the subject of Justin came up. “My cheeks hurt, I’m so happy.” Then in March, Barrymore brought her beau to the set of when she was there for a guest appearance. Although Drew was scheduled to talk about her charity work, her new romance (of course) became part of the conversation. (You can see that clip after the jump.)

Mariah Carey Fails to Throw Pitch at Baseball Game

Mariah Carey makes yet another oopsieNewlywed Mariah Carey has made a fool of herself yet again. Whilst visiting Japan recently, the failed actress attended a Yomiuri Giants vs.Rakuten Eagles baseball game, given the honor of throwing the first pitch. Unfortunately, it appears that either her very uncomfortable attire or unnecessarily-high heels got in the way of allowing her to successfully throw the ball from the mound to the catcher.

Lucky for us, it was all caught on tape! In the video, which can be seen after the jump, the scantily-clad pop star managed to at least throw the ball a measly-looking five feet, which then depressingly rolled towards home base. Clearly learning from her past oopsies, Carey continued to smile unflinchingly after her utter embarrassment, hurried off the field and off to do some kimono shopping (something she can at least do successfully).

Nick, you really ought to keep a closer watch on your wife.

Alanis Morissette’s New Album and New Body

Alanis Morissette on the Today show

Earlier this week, singer hit the Today show stage to promote her latest album, Flavors of Entanglement. (You can see a clip from the concert after the jump.) And while the fans should have been focusing on her new single ("Underneath"), they couldn’t help but notice the 33-year-old’s new body.

Even though it was hard denying Morissette had seen better days, it wasn’t her obvious weight gain that bothered me. (Sadly, she’s probably just a Size 4 now.) I just wanted to know where her stylist was! Yes, we know her ex is now newly engaged...but that was no reason for her to dress so poorly. The ill-fitting pants or unflattering vest just weren’t necessary.

C’mon, Alanis. Performers like have already proven you can be larger and beautiful too!

Can DWTS’ Julianne Hough Sing as Well as She Can Dance?

Even though critics have recently panned actress Scarlett Johansson’s debut album, her music experience won’t stop other stars from moonlighting as a singer. (You can see Scarlett’s video here.)

Earlier today, dancer performed live for the Good Morning America audience. The two-time champ just released her first album and is set to go on tour with country artist Brad Paisley.

Listen and decide for yourself. Do you think she’s as talented a singer as she is a dancer? Or should she stick to her day job?
