Paris Hilton Responds to Her Image’s Use in McCain Ad

"Miss Hilton was neither asked, nor did she give permission, for the use of her likeness in the ad, and has no further comment," her rep said in a statement, referring to footage of Paris being used in this commercial for John McCain. Britney's rep had no comment at all. And, just for the record, some of you guys seem to think that because I'm making fun of a stupid commercial and pointing out that Jon Voight is possibly -- just possibly -- not qualified to write a political op-ed column f...

Verne Troyer Is Just Suing Everyone These Days

I mean, it kind of makes sense. What else is he going to do? Beat them up? This time, Verne's suing his ex-girlfriend and sex tape partner, Ranae Shrider, for "intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery." Verne's lawyer claims his former housemate "once picked the lock to his bedroom door, pushing away a 100 pound scooter that was used to block the door, and then throwing him to the floor." His lawyer, in a statement to TMZ, adds that "when you pick up a 2'8" human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts." And you know what he's suing her for? $...

The conservatorship will stay in place until at least December 31 of this year. This is probably a good thing for Britney and the rest of the world in general. It's just a very sad thing if you were holding your breath for new photos of Britney's Britney. And by that second "Britney" I of course mean "vagina....

We Don’t Hate Each Other!

Ryan Gosling made his DJ debut at Hollywood's Green Door on Tuesday night -- playing mostly songs from the '40s and '50s in homage to the club's weekly live jazz night -- and guess who showed up? His ex-girlfriend, Rachel McAdams! Could this couple be reuniting? Nothing would make me happier. I bawled my eyes out at The Notebook. Not, like, poignant little tear droplets. Like, blubbering and sobbing like the huge baby that I am. Seriously. Like, Beaches kind of tears. Ryan and Rachel...

Who Says Samantha Ronson Doesn’t Like Penis?

La Lohan and SamRo are back in LA, and were roaming the streets the other day. And it's actually come to this -- I am censoring a T-shirt. Because there are penises on Samantha's T-shirt. Because she is cool with that. I want a T-shirt with a penis on it. In fact, I want anything with a penis on it. I get no play. Uncensored pic is after the jump. I may or may not get an email from my boss asking me to take it down. If the penis is on a T-shirt, does that count as a real penis? I'm not su...
