Paris Hilton All Vamped Up...

One day, I hope to be able to learn enough about photoshop and other image editing software so that I can play around with the odd photo or two.

Worth1000.com have a series of celebrities that have been photoshopped with a Twilight theme. All vampires of course.

This one is so obviously Paris Hilton. I had to do a double take to see what had been photoshopped (just kidding!)

Paris Hilton: Exposed...

I thought that Paris Hilton had a chain of fashion stores in her own name. If I am not mistaken, didn't she open one of these in Indonesia?

I am wondering if she shops at her own stores? I am also wondering if this outfit is available in Indonesia? And, the final wondering here is, if this outfit is available in Indonesia, is anyone buying it?

Hmmm...not a whole lot to the imagination here, is there?


Notice the paparazzo shadow across her back. I would hate to be a celebrity and never get a moments peace from being photographed. I am sure that there are those out there that would be arguing that hitting the streets in an outfit like this one is as good as asking to be photographed. However, Hilton, like anyone else can wear whatever they like, including this outfit, and they should be able to do it without fear of being hassled by paparazzi at every turn.

The idea that celebrities ask for it as part of being public figures, and that they have no right to personal space in the public sphere is not all that different from arguing that a woman who wears a short skirt is asking to be raped and therefore she should be afforded less protection than a woman dressed in a more 'modest' manner.

There just seems to be something inherently wrong with the logic on this one.

The truth though is that it is us, the consumers, that feed this monster. Our insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip and stupidity means there is a ready market for most pictures.



I do like the shirt though! Is she trying to tell any potential suitors what they are in for if they pursue her to the ends of the earth?

Paris Hilton Opens a Store in Indonesia...



It would appear that there is nothing that Paris Hilton will not try her hand at. She has already tried acting (sitcom reality shows, movies, and porn / skin flicks), drug taking, and a few others not necessary to note here. Her latest venture, although she already has 28 of them already opened, is designer shopping stores. The majority of these stores are apparently in the Asia and Middle East Region. The shops cater for those in need of handbags and accessories.

The Indonesian store, which opened just this weekend, is located in Grand Indonesia. It is the Grand Indonesia because, even by Indonesian mall standards, the place is pretty grand. So, it would make sense of Hilton to open a store in one of the grandest places in town.

The intention was that Ms. Hilton would personally attend the opening of the Jakarta store. But, as most of us who are followers of Ms. Hilton know, she did not make it past Japan. The Japanese customs authorities decided that a young woman with a drug conviction was persona non grata and barred her from entering. Unfortunately, this meant that she took the next available charter back to the US. So, there was not going to be any short store-opening stop over in Jakarta.

However, not to be deterred, Paris did attend the store opening by video conference and Tweeted all the necessary bits and pieces related to the opening.

So, now that there has been a post about Ms. Hilton, it is time for the obligatory photos.

Enjoy.

Lindsay Lohan Goes to Rehab...



Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days 14 days in jail! No, she was sentenced to 90 days, but overcrowding in the US penal system means that perpetrators of "less" serious (non-violent) crimes tend to do a fraction of the sentence imposed upon them.

Yes, that's right folks, 90 days became 14 days and the remainder to supposedly be served in a rehab center. Now, for some rehab is probably not all that different from jail. Nevertheless, the girl was sentenced to 90 days and it would have been reasonable to expect that she would have seen a few more days behind bars than the mere 14 that she ended up doing. This is particularly so considering that she was given ample opportunities to mend her ways. Ultimately, she was sentenced to prison time for violations of her strict probation conditions.

In the end, Lohan did less time than Michelle Rodriguez (of Lost fame) and Paris Hilton.

I wonder if anyone is running a book as to how long it will be before she is in trouble again?

Mini Me -- Verne Troyer -- Little People Sex

In this era of political correctness do you call someone who is height challenged a "little person", a "midget", or a "dwarf". No matter.

Verne Troyer who played Mini Me in the Austen Powers series of spy spoofs made a 50 minute tape of himself having sex with his then girlfriend. Troyer alleges that the tape was stolen and the person most likely to be involved in the theft of that tape is Kevin Blatt. Now any regular viewers, collectors, or purveyors of celebrity sex tape news will immediately recognize Blatt's name as the distributor of another classic celebrity sex tape, "One Night in Paris".

The 39-year old actor who stands a mere 80 cm tall has filed a USD 20 million lawsuit for violation of his privacy rights, infringement on his copyright, and the misappropriation of his name and likeness. Additionally, Troyer is seeking an injunction prohibiting further dissemination of the video which was available on the TMZ website (although it has now been taken down...the attached photo is from the TMZ site). The 20 second clip shows the little man tongue-kissing a former "girlfriend".

The whole tape is supposedly way steamier than just a little French kissing in the USA.
