Paris Hilton is denying she and Doug Reinhardt got into another drunken fight and the LAPD were called to her house. [The Superficial]—Even heiresses can be abused, Paris.
Model Jessica White has confirmed that she and Sean Penn were an item, but have broken up. Robin Wright Penn filed for divorce less than a month ago. [Us Weekly]—Does this mean their marriage is actually over this time?
Rosie O’Donnell admitted on her Sirius Satellite radio show that her partner of five years, Kelli Carpenter, moved out two years ago. All of this was revealed with the help of a chihuahua and a pet psychic. [People]
The New York Post is reporting Paris Hilton and her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, had a “boozy grapple” after a Halloween party on Friday night that led to what I would call domestic violence. Hilton and her boyfriend attended Heidi Klum and Seal’s Halloween party and then hit up another bash at L.A.‘s Roosevelt hotel. When the couple got into their limo at 3:30 a.m., the publicity-hungry twosome were apparently three sheets to the wind. At some point during the drive home, witnesses, including paparazzi, allegedly saw a cell phone chucked from the limo’s window and then the vehicle abruptly stopped. Allegedly, Hilton got out of the limo, searched the ground for it (it was later located and given back to her by a paparazzo), and in front of a bunch of witnesses, scolded Reinhardt for throwing it out the window. When she got back in the car, Hilton allegedly slapped and kicked Reinhardt and he then used his left hand to choke and restrain her. “[Doug] was holding her around the neck saying, ‘Relax, relax,’” a photog told the Post.
Halloween means spooky, spooky ghosts are lurking, so check out what you see in the above video. [Urlesque]—Scary crying ghosts girl or figment of the collective imagination?
We’re all relieved that Rachel Bilson may soon get her jeans back—I just don’t know if she’ll want them now that they’ve been worn by someone else. We’re also glad that Paris Hilton has already picked up of big chunk of the $2 million-worth of jewelry stolen from her home. In September, we reported that 18-year-old Nicholas Prugo had been arrested on suspicion that he took part in the burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Partridge’s cribs, and we speculated on how long before he turned in his well-accessorized conspirators. Well, now the jig is up for Prugo’s fantastically dressed teen gang. Four teens have been charged in the robberies, and police expect to charge three more.
British TV presenter Fearne Cotton recently toured Paris Hilton‘s closet, and while we always suspected Paris owned a lot of crap, like Fearne, we were completely shocked by just how much stuff she has crammed in her shoe closet (which used to be a gym) and jewelry storage space converted from a sauna. In fact, she admits that she has to pay someone to organize it for her, and she keeps the overflow in the garage. Keep in mind, this is just her shoes and jewels. But hey, Paris isn’t alone. Lots of celebrities are sitting on a goldmine of crap (here are more closet tours to prove it). We have to wonder, though: What’s the difference between a celebrity and those tragic, mentally ill hoarders we’re always seeing on reality shows? Not much more than fame and a staff to manage it, perhaps.

Paris Hilton threw a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt this weekend, and you’ll never guess what she did! I don’t even know where she came up with this. Are you ready? She jumped out of a cake! In a hot pink costume and black diamond mask no less! OMG, right?
No, seriously though, will famous people knock it off with the half-naked cake surprise? Every celebrity hussy has given it a go, from Scary Spice to Jessica Simpson to Jenna Jameson. Even Hugh Hefner wasn’t that psyched when Pamela Anderson came out of his 82nd b-day cake naked.
Last weekend, Paris Hilton freaked out when she found out she was seated next to Howard Stern and his wife at a Kylie Minogue concert in Las Vegas. Instead of starting a feud about their mutual distaste for one another, Paris politely asked to be moved. I wonder if her new next-seat neighbor was thrilled about the placement? [NY Post]
As you might imagine, with all the drama that goes down in celebrityville, sometimes people are put too close to the people who make their blood boil. That’s why it’s time for a game of celebrity musical chairs.

One thing’s for sure, that Frappaccino or whatever the hell it is means Paris Hilton certainly isn’t on a diet. Sure is a fancy top for a Coffee Bean run though. Wonder if the extra drink is for one of the paparazzi she speed dialed? [Los Angeles, 9/29/09]

Grandly overstating their relevance, Sarah Palin and Paris Hilton will have quotes included in the venerable Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. Palin’s quote? “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick.” We would have thought Hilton’s quote would be “That’s hot,” but for some reason it’s this: “Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in.” [NY Daily News]—Deeeeep, man.
It’s back-to-school time! At universities, this time of year means a serious discussion about preventing sexual assault on campus. Yet most of the rape prevention focus is on making young women’s behaviors safer, says author Jaclyn Friedman, instead of informing young men there is zero tolerance against sexual coercion and rape. Friedman says young women are given messages like “Don’t hook up! Don’t dress provocatively! Watch your drink! Actually, don’t drink at all! Always stay with a friend! Don’t stay out too late! Don’t walk home alone!” But what about the guys? [American Prospect]
The Ninth Circuit has ruled that Paris Hilton can sue Hallmark for allegedly misappropriating her image and her former catchphrase, “That’s hot!” [Law Blog]—Didn’t Hallmark know that the world was a cold, dank place until Paris let us know what was hot?
Heidi Klum‘s coffee table book, Rankin’s Heidilicious, is full of steamy photos of Heidi shot over seven years by Rankin and is due out this October. [FoxNews.com]—I really love coffee table books because I don’t have to be embarrassed about only looking at the photos.
Hollywood A-listers like Scarlett Johansson, Denzel Washington, and Jim Carrey have had to take pay cuts as a result of poor box office sales. [Impact Lab]—Their kind of pay cut is nothing like the average person’s, so I can’t have too much sympathy.
Jason Moore, Paris Hilton‘s former manager, takes credit for turning “this blond piece of clay into a global icon.” And now, he’s pitching a book to publishers called Controlling Chaos, that describes exactly how he “sculpted” Paris into a superstar. He claims that the tome is a “business” book, but we bet Jason is going to be a lot more interesting than your average business writer because Paris, in her infinite wisdom, never made him sign a confidentiality agreement. Oops!
“More than anything, I want this documentary to be a lesson to young girls. If a private, intimate moment that was never intended to be made public—it could happen to them also. It’s something that haunts me to this day. It’s embarrassing to know the whole world has seen the sex tape….I want young girls to never put themselves in that situation I was in. Don’t ever let someone talk you into doing something you don’t want to do.”
Yesterday, Paris Hilton had to tear herself apart from her new BFFs in Dubai to take the stand in a Miami courtroom. The folks who invested in her movie “Pledge This!” are suing the heiress for $8.3 million in damages because she didn’t carry out any of the promotion for the movie that she was contractually obligated to do. Her lawyer admitted that Hilton wasn’t a big fan of the film’s final cut, but alleged that she still did her best to endorse the flick. But let’s be serious, you know that her busy schedule of partying and being slutty prevented her from doing as many appearances as the investors wanted. The silly soro-stitution movie about a fake sorority at a fake university who tried to diversify to win “Best Sorority of the Year” only opened in 25 theaters and made a very weak $2.9 million. Hilton was paid $1 million to play the lead and the investors want to recoup the money they put into this mega flop. A note to these producers: did you ever think that maybe your movie just sucked and that’s why nobody saw it? [Daily Mail]
Sad news for Paris Hilton—Kat McKenzie, the runner-up on the U.K. version of “My New BFF,” died suddenly this past Friday. “It is devastating to hear of her loss, my thoughts and wishes go out to her friends and family. Love you Kitty Kat. RIP,” Paris tweeted from Dubai, where she is currently filming the next installment of “My New BFF.” The details of McKenzie’s death are unknown but police haven’t revealed any suspicious conditions. McKenzie was a former pole dancer from Guilford, Surrey. Let’s hope things turn out better for the besties in Dubai. [Examiner]
Recently, Johnny Depp and some friends ate a late-night dinner at Chicago steakhouse, Gibson’s. And Depp left the waitor a $4,000 tip. [Radar Online] — Hot AND generous? It just doesn’t seem fair.
Check out some other celebs who are worth waiting for on.
Leighton Meester’s rumored sex tape went online today and apparently involves a foot-job, maybe? The video was being shopped around, but ended up in the hands of Celeb Hotline, who were sure to market it as creepily as possible by mentioning her “perky pink nipples.” [CelebHotline]
Poor Leighton, it happened so fast and looks legit! Most sex tapes start as rumors and take days, if not forevers, to actually surface. Since there are so many whispers about sex tapes circulating these days, here’s a breakdown of which we think are real and which are totally made up.
Remember Mel Gibson’s pregnant girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva? Maybe not, but you will now since the Russian baby-mama has signed onto her beau’s record label, Icon Records, and released her first single “Say My Name” off her debut album Beautiful Heartbreak. The actual music of the song isn’t bad, being Grigorieva is a classically trained pianist, but the lyrics (co-written by Gibson) are sappy central. The singer describes the song as “naked, intimate, raw emotion, little more than piano and voice as if it is a cry from the soul.” Actually, at one point it does sound like people screeching in the background as Grigorieva sings about birds, kings, and walking down a road. Hopefully her other songs will be better sans Mel’s help?

Usher proved the rumor mill right when he filed for divorce from Tameka Foster, his wife of nearly two years. [E! Online]—The only one who might be surprised about this is Tameka. Hey, I never stopped calling her by her maiden name, anyway.
Karl Lagerfeld is swinging insults at Heidi Klum again, but this time he attacks her husband too, saying he wouldn’t want Seal’s skin, which was damaged from a form of lupus. [The Sun]—Sounds like Karl is jealous to me.
For the second night in a row, Paris Hilton spent the night with some guy named Cristiano Ronaldo. [Dlisted]
Brad Pitt spent a reported $960,000 on a painting by German artist Neo Rauch while visiting Art Basel in Switzerland this week. Nearly a million? For a painting? Is it made of gold bricks? No, evidently it just depicts a race car being tuned up, and it’s kind of ugly, but hey, if it makes Brad happy, we won’t judge. Much. [People]
Over the past month, we’ve noticed quite a few celebrities making outrageously expense purchases. Could this mean the recession is over? Keep reading to see how much Chris Brown spent on his new car, and how much Jessica Simpson spent on Tony Romo’s birthday gift.
