Doug Reinhardt and Paris Hilton resurfaced yesterday at East Restaurant after a paparazzi hiatus. After, they headed out for a night of partying. Paris tweeted that she hadn’t been to LA clubs in a while, and after that night, she knew why.
“Getting ready to go to dinner and then out. Haven’t been out to LA clubs in so long. Should be fun!”
But after hitting a few clubs, Paris was ready to head home. “On my way home. LA is not what it used to be. Brutal. Can’t wait to get in bed.”
So perhaps this duo will continue to surface only periodically, for other events. And given that the club was the cause of their first breakup, it may be wise for them to give it a rest.
Japp, idag är jag en glad jävel..
Så försök att göra mig lack, går inte
Log till och med till idioterna som stannar direkt utanför tunnelbanevagnens dörrar, så man varken kommer in eller ut!

Jag vaknade, sjuukt trött, tänkte, fan det e ju måndag.. Ny vecka, nya möjligheter ska man ju tänka sägs det.. Visst är det så, denna vecka borde jag bli milijonär, det får man faktiskt bli! Men blir man rik måste man passa in, hitta sitt “flow” och försöka göra ett bra intryck, samtidigt som jag ska lära mig kliva upp i tid, om jag vill veta varje dag hur rik jag blev. Haha.
Känns bra som fan att få börja ett nytt liv, konstigt att skriva så då jag just sa att det var jobbigt men.. Ni fattar säkert.. Allt är ju så nytt, allt är så pirrigt.. Man kommer dit, ska lära sig alla namn, alla rutiner, minnas saker, göra saker, fika på rätt tider, sluta röka (ja, det ska jag), skaffa vänner, bli vän med kollegorna, hoppas dom inte är ytliga, sluta dömma andra (jag är kung på det), bli en av av sociténs stjärnor (hoppas jag iaf) och bli ett med kapitalismens visioner, nå mina mål och de mål som sätts upp..
Men vi får se, det löser sig säkert..
Sedan då? Några förslag? Har fått kalla handen ang. min tävling om en laptop iaf.. Verkar som om ingen vill vinna den. Haha, gör inget. Kan sälja den med.. Någon som vill köpa en Asus EEE PC istället då?
Kom igen, FETT bra priser.. Slänger in en polare som kommer och städar hos er i en vecka.
“1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1-2
In the beginning when God created us, He created us in His image and likeness. We are to be like Him or shadow his ways, personality, character, etc. We discovered in the last blog that God is love and this love is to hold others in high regard. This particular verse instructs us to live, abide, stay, remain, persist, endure in holding others in high regard just as Christ held us in high regard when he gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God
This blog will deal with how to ‘live a life of love’. The verse tells us that Christ’s ultimate display of love is when He sacrificed His life for us. Sacrifice becomes a key to how to live in love. Christ is the ultimate sacrifice in the sense of giving up one’s life for another, but the Bible does admonish us to sacrifice ourselves. Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.” We are to offer ourselves unto God as living sacrifices – in other words, submit to the Will (way, likeness, image) of God.
As God has endured our insubordinate behavior (and continues to endure our insubordinate ways), we should endure others who may disrespect us or take us for granted. Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek when others are gruel to us. Many times it seems natural to retaliate harshly to those who have hurt us maliciously or even intentionally. That might feel good, but the harder task is to love or hold them in high regard by respecting, protecting, caring for them.
If we offer our will or nature to God and sacrifice them on the Altar is the deep, intimate act worship God seeks after. This is the moment when we say to God, ‘please help me with this one, because my flesh is rising up in retaliation, but I know, trust, and rely on you God – You know whats best!’ Then God sends/activates the Holy Spirit in you to lead, guide, and direct us in the the way(s) to respond or react.
Apostle Paul stated that he had to die daily to himself in order to remain in the love of God. He teaches the Romans church to die from the flesh and the desires of the flesh and replace the desire of the flesh with the desire of the Spirit. The flesh cannot please God, because it will always want to retaliate negatively to any negative actions toward itself. This is why we offer it up to God to receive His Spirit. ‘They that worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth’. Therefore, in order for us to live the life of love, we must sacrifice our flesh, will, and nature on the Altar so that we may receive His Spirit that will lead, guide and direct us in how to imitate God – and this is a daily act of worship!
“I will truly look like you when I my love is your’s…”
Margaret, I haven’t laughed so hard since Katie Couric interviewed Sarah Palin. A few thousand white folks called in sick to work last week so they could parade around the nation’s capital on Saturday and Fox News declares a revolution is underway. My goodness. I don’t know which is more sad – the fact that they couldn’t spell half the words written on their illegible signs or that they all left their white hoods at home. Bring the hippies back. Their protests were much more entertaining.
Just to give you some perspective:
1925 - Ku Klux Klan – 35,000 KKK members marched on Washington
1963 – March for Freedom with Martin Luther King – 250,000 marched
1969 – March to end the Vietnam War – 600,000 marched
1993 – Gay and Lesbian Rights – 800,000 marched
1995 – Million Man March – 600,000 marched
2004 – March for Women’s Lives (Pro-Choice) – over 1 million marched
2009 – Obama Inauguration – over 1 million celebrate
September 12, 2009 – Tea Party Hillbilly Rally - 78,000 marched but only 3 seemed to know what they were marching about.
I’ll tell you what Margaret. You would never know by watching Fox News that 78,000 racists marching on the nation’s capital was cause for concern. You would think we were finally winning the war against the British. Of course, according to Harold’s television set, larger crowds gathered at dozens of football games that day so what the hell do I care.
Let me just say something about the 9-12 Project. On September 12, 2001 everyone was an American. There were no Blue States and no Red States. There were no Black Americans and no White Americans. There were no Europeans, no Asians, no Hispanics, no Africans… The world was standing with America against the evil that is terrorism. The globe was united like never before. And what did our President do when given that moment? He told us all to go shopping while he and his buddies planned a war. And 8 years later the 9-12 project has been reduced to a movement of no Blacks, no Hispanics, no Asians… just 78,000 white people who can’t spell.
But it’s not really the marchers that worry me. It’s the media that gives them so much attention. Have you ever noticed when a million Pro-Choice women march on Washington while 50 Pro-Life nut jobs stand on the corner mis-quoting the bible, it’s the bible thumping nut-jobs getting more coverage on the evening news?
69 million people voted for Barack Obama knowing full well that Universal Healthcare was a major issue in his campaign. 78,000 people marched on Washington claiming that America has been stolen. Now I am not an expert, but I have to believe that fancy CNN map of John King’s should be able to figure out that math.
The biggest problem facing America today isn’t the war, the economy, healthcare or even racism. The biggest threat to America is the lack of news coverage in our newscasts. Honesty I don’t give a damn what LaToya Jackson thinks, what Paris Hilton ate, what Hillary Clinton is wearing or who Brad Pitt is dating. And I especially don’t give a rat’s ass what 78,000 peckerwoods with too much time on their hands think about something as complicated as Universal Healthcare.
You know what would have been a good news story? How many of those yahoos marching last weekend actually have health insurance much less a full set of teeth? Did anyone bother to ask that question?
Prova qualche volta a donare le tue lacrime, quelle inutili, quelle che la natura ha creato per disattenzione, a chi di lacrime ha bisogno per confontarsi in un destino sempre piu alla deriva, lontano da una comodita individuale che trascende sempre piu spesso, e non ha neanche più la volontà visiva di produrle quelle lacrime, perse in un oscuro passaggio della vita che nessun cartello, come la strada pericolosa vorrebbe si indicasse, ha mai annunciato. Non sarebbe un regalo, ma un vero atto di generosità nei confronti di un acoscienza sempre piu alla deriva.
Usale quelle tue lacrime nel modo giusto, nel tempo giusto e riconoscigli il valore.
As I’ve said before, I’m kind of a news hound. I update my world on CNN.com and other quickie sources several times a day, just to stay on top of things. When you do that, you get a lot of “popular” news, i.e., what people are searching for–mostly gossip.
One result of my scanning is that I often run across the same subjects time and again, subjects I never wanted to know about in the first place and certainly wouldn’t miss off my radar. Here, in my opinion, are the worst offenders, in no particular order:
10. Fox News — Major network news is expected to be neutral. If you’re going to slant things this far, be honest. Call yourself the conservative mouthpiece of America.
9. The Olsen twins– like all kids, they grew up. Just with more money than the rest of us. Let them spend it in peace.
8. Ditto Paris Hilton. No one cares about your movies or your lady parts. Really.
7. The Octo-mom. If they give her a reality show they are absolutely going to justify her bad choices. Leave her to Children’s Services, because in the long run that’s where she’s going to end up.
6. Any person named Kardashian.
5. Big Brother and all those other reality shows where people get thrown together and rewarded for backstabbing, manipulating and sleeping around. One of our local attorney’s daughters was on one of those shows, and her slutty infidelity to her boyfriend was revealed for all to see. All he could do was talk about how proud he was of her to get such a great break. Ugh.
4. People who steadfastly believe that we have done nothing to permanently damage this planet’s air, water, soil and living conditions. Whether we’re talking about today, tomorrow or The Day After Tomorrow, clearly what we’ve consumed and ruined will catch up with us. Wouldn’t it be nice to be dealing with it now instead of later?
3. Government by whoever can scream louder. (Except those British Parliament sessions. Because they’re adorable.)
2. Kanye West. For so many reasons.
1. Jon or Kate or any of the Eight. Seriously. Raising a family is hard. Going through a divorce is hard. No one needs to do either under a television camera. Ever.
The unexamined life is not worth living. - Socrates.
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. - Jesus.
Give me liberty or give me death. - Patrick Henry.
Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in. - Paris Hilton, as immortalized this week in the new edition of the Oxford Book of Quotations.
We apologize for this latest intrusion into civilised life by Hiltonate existence, which we present purely in the belief that it is only by staring the beast of idiocy squarely in the eye that we may slay it. Even Jesus would agree, though he throw us, yeah, from the Temple, for being reminded of this She-beast of Babylon.
Movieline came up with this commendable list of 6 Disastrous Reality Stars Who Wanted to be Singers.
We were going to concoct a list of our own, but honestly, they did a pretty noble job. Except, we wouldn’t put them in this order.
1. Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Song: “Tardy for the Party”
It remains to be seen whether Kim can vault to stardom, but we think the odds are stacked against any housewife who tries to sound like a freshman in high school inviting senior boys over for a rainbow party. Don’t be tardy for the party, rugby captain.
2. Jo De La Rosa of The Real Housewives of Orange County
Song: “U Can’t Control Me”
Back when The Real Housewives didn’t seem like a never-ending, MILF-centric geography lesson, Jo De Le Rosa sparkled on screen as the wannabe singer who bragged of her husband Slade, “He’s basically keeping me.” Well, now she’s “freaking” out! Jo’s single “U Can’t Control Me” off her album Unscripted packs the angst of Kelly Clarkson into the warble of an overgrown kindergartener. Suck down some store-bought balloons and play along!
3. Heidi Montag of The Hills
Song: “No More”
The helium-filled McDonald’s birthday party continues with Heidi Montag’s voice, set to vocoder level “sexy congestion.” The worst part about Montag’s singing career is how touted it is by Spencer Pratt, who, at separate times, has called his wife better than Michael Jackson and Madonna. We vote that “No More” is the worst Montag song, because any moment of “seriousness” from a Hills star is lethal. The only way it could be any worse is if Spencer rapped on it too.
4. Brooke Hogan from Hogan Knows Best
Song: “Falling”
I don’t detest Brooke like I do Heidi Montag, but her attempts at a music career have produced dated, bland pop music. Like, this “Falling” song? Sounds like a wretched Ashanti B-side that she hides in a safe-deposit box in Fresno. The video, featuring Brooke rolling around and playing with her breasts on a beach, is painful. When all is said and done, I’d argue her father’s penchant for 19-year-old hos is more noble than her music career.
5. Jeff Conaway from Celebrity Fit Club and Celebrity Rehab
Song: “Crazy”
A hickey from Kenickie is a Hallmark Card! A self-composed song called “Crazy” from Kenickie is the most disturbing footage you’ve seen in your entire life. He may have been famous before Dr. Drew’s advice entered his life, and he may not have parlayed his notoriety into a singing career, but… this is necessary to post. Maybe every day.
6. David Broom from The Real World: New Orleans
Song: “Come On Be My Baby Tonight”
My absolute favorite. David was the self-righteous blowhard on The Real World: New Orleans who enraged Melissa, annoyed everyone else, and forgave himself because he was so sensitive. He has a message for you: I’ve seen the way you’ve treated other thugs you’ve been with. Skee-dopple-dwee-dopple-dee. Come on be my baby tonight. He knows you want it.
Do you agree with the list? In a list with #1 being worst, we would put Heidi Montag at the top because Kim Zolciak is less disillusioned than Heidi, and drop Jo de la Rosa down a bit, as well as Brooke Hogan because they’re not terrible. David from the Real World would assume a higher spot largely because he was annoying. But to his credit, he could at least play an instrument and he provided great laughs!
Commenters on ohnotheydidnt provided some people who could possibly call the list above into question:
Blonda Paris Hilton va fi o apariţie surprinzătoare în ultima ediţie a faimosului Dicţionar Oxford al Citatelor, relatează site-ul Ananova.
Replica moştenitoarei imperiului hotelier: “Îmbracă-te drăguţ oriunde te duci, viaţa este prea scurtă ca să te pierzi în mulţime” urmează să apară lângă celebrele spuse ale unor autori precum Oscar Wilde sau William Shakespeare.
Citatul marca Paris Hilton este unul dintre cele aproximativ 20.000 de noutăţi faţă de ediţia anterioară a Dicţionarului Oxford de specialitate. Dintre acestea mai face parte replica fostului vicepreşedinte american Sarah Palin, menită să o autodescrie ca fiind o persoană dură: “Care este diferenţa între o mămică hocheistă şi un pitbull? Rujul.”.
Let’s travel back to a long time ago, say a year ago. It is very early fall, with school starting across campuses. Television shows are starting new seasons. Including one very popular show, Gossip Girl. OMG. I know. I wasn’t much of a fan of the show, but a friend of mine suckered me into watching it. “Summer Kind of Wonderful” kicks of Season 2, exploring what the characters did on their summer vacations.
The thing about this show was that I knew some of these characters. (Not Ed Westwick’s character Chuck ‘I’m Batman Chuck Bass’ Bass, he would not be able to exist in this mortal realm.) While my rich friends and acquaintances tend live far out on Long Island, the attitude, mannerisms and opportunities afforded to them was something I knew about. This isn’t what made me angry about the show. What made me angry was something I should have seen coming since it showed some of the characters having internships.
Enter Dan Humphrey, the lead male character who is supposedly a writer. His mentor / teacher person is chastising him for not having a story ready for submission. For submission for the New Yorker and the Paris Review.
Let me repeat that: For submission for the New Yorker and the Paris Review.
Needless to say, after my eye started to twitch uncontrollably, I started yelling at the screen to the shock of my confused friend.
For those loyal fans of the show or those who simply who do not know: best-selling authors have problems getting published in the above literary journals. No matter how much money a person has, they probably are not getting a story in, especially someone still in high school.
Now, a good number of things in this show are implausible. Chuck Bass’ fashion sense is what happens when a tornado hits a Ralph Lauren store. You can’t get downtown from the upper west side within a half-an-hour. But the above scenario took the cake and had sex on it. (I mean, this is Gossip Girl.)
Hollywood always had a weird relationship with writing and writers. You used to like us, Hollywood–what happened? Gone are the days where Truman Capote could fill up a concert hall for a reading of sections from In Cold Blood. Gone are the days when Gore Vidal would beating with William F. Buckley on the news. Now, we’re all stuck in the basement writing, paid or unpaid. Now fictional rich teenagers are doing better than real life writers are.
If I had to take an educated guess, the fall of the big name author had to happen some time in the 1950’s. (Outside of major playwrights, other writers seemed to always be regulated to the background.) It would have to be roughly around Capote’s time, as I find it hard to name an author that would sell out audience for a reading or recall someone being famous solely because he or she was a writer/author. Perhaps the decline of author-celebrities happened because of a decline in reading. Conversely, perhaps there was a rise in the number of authors appealing to various new markets. The latter is great for intellectual and social, bad for anybody hoping to strike it rich.
There seems to be a few ways to get well known as a writer. You would think that it would be to write a lot, especially a series. But then I present you with the cases of Daniel Steel or David Patterson, big names that nobody would be able to put a face to.
No, option 1 is to let Hollywood come to you. Stephen King has written lots of novels, but is mostly known for his short stories and only a few novels. Why? The Shining, Carrie, Pet Semetary, Catherine, and the non-horror Stand by Me are known to a large audience as movies, not as short stories or novels. But even then, King is a rare case. Even those authors optioned for movies will have their work overshadow them. I mean, I really like Michael Chabon, but I saw the DVD case for the Mysteries of Pittsburgh at one of my jobs, and didn’t make the connection some time later at a bookstore.
Option 2 is to have an interesting life and write a memoir about it. This is what many critics moan about when ranting about the rise of the memoir, especially due to the spectacle of it, where the battle on the best selling non-fiction charts seems to be over who had it worse and whose story is the most uplifting.
Sometimes these two options come together. For example, J.K. Rowling may have just been the author of the Harry Potter series, like many authors of fantasy and sci-fi stories. Yet, a good portion of the public knows her face, because she has a story herself, a real-life rags to riches story.
James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces shows how things can be twisted to someone’s advantage. His heart-rending memoir was some novel that wasn’t doing well while being shopped around as fiction. (Probably because it reads like the love child of e.e. cummings and Chuck Palahniuk.) However, everyone knew that memoirs and autobiographies were selling like hotcakes, and thus the book was marketed as such. Oprah heard of his ‘inspirational story’ and I think you all remember what happened from there.
Outside of Oprah, you might get a movie made about your inspirational life.(Nothing seems to sell more than something based off a true story.)
Speaking of which, it seems like to make it big in the writing world you almost have to be a celebrity to become one or know some and be ready to dish our their dirty secrets. This is why celebrities write books (or have people write one for them) because it’s instant profit. Now, I don’t want to knock all celebrity writers as some of them are are actually good writers. For example, Barbara Walter’s Audition is going to be a far better– or at least interesting– read than Paris Hilton’s Confessions of an Heiress.
By now you can tell its a bit of game. Kathy Griffin strikes for the heart of silliness of the celebrity book concept and the Oprah effect with her new book:
Yes, Offical Book Club Selections is the title.
It all seems so fake doesn’t it?
If you still want to write after this post, than perhaps you’ve realized you’re not in it for the money. In that case, you might want to turn off the television. Not because it’ll distract you from writing, but because you’ll start wondering why fictional people are doing better than you. Don’t worry though, the characters have writers behind them.

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. The past couple of weeks have been fairly busy. I was the main speaker at “The Edge” Pioneer Pacific Camp on Thetis Island.
I had to give 7 main talks and 4 smaller talks. My theme was the Kingdom of God which I presented as God’s revolution in the world.
A quick overview…
The coming of Jesus meant the coming of God’s revolution. Like any revolution there is an “Establishment” which is threatened by the revolution. For Jesus the Establishment was mainly the religious establishment represented by the Pharisees and the “teachers of the law.” And Jesus gets into all kinds of trouble because he doesn’t obey the laws of the Establishment. The Establishment are those in power who tells us what is important and what is not important (but not in line with who God is and what he values)…. and this allows judgement – these people are sinners and these people are not (so you cannot hang out with them). This allows for a sense of self-justification – for those who follow the rules. But the rules lead to slavery. Jesus comes and blows away these rules with his message of grace.
Okay… fine. But what does this mean to around one hundred 15-17 year olds from the west coast of Canada? What is the Establishment in their lives which God’s revolution in Jesus challenges? Who tells them what is important and what is not important? Who tells them how and who to judge? Where do they get their sense of justification from?
Well… I suggested that the Establishment for them was our celebrity-driven consumerist pop culture. And a photo of Paris Hilton was on the video screen as a representative of this Establishment. It is this culture that tells (or attempts to tell) teenagers what it important and what is not important, how to judge – this person is trendy and cool and this person is NOT trendy and cool (so don’t hang out with them). And if you follow the rules of the Establishment you too can feel a sense of self-justification.
Anyways… that was last week. Today I was kind of taken aback when I read an articles on the BBC website about a girl band who are complaining about not being given air-time on Radio 1. (Full article here)
This should have been a great week for the Dolly Rockers. The “girl band with balls” have just put out their first single, Gold Digger, amidst a flurry of wickedly entertaining TV appearances. But instead of sitting back and watching the cash roll in, the group have called a crisis meeting with their record label.
“Our single didn’t get playlisted on Radio One,” explains 20-year-old Brooke Challinor. “We’re not ashamed to admit it… we’re very nervous.”
It is “crunch time”, admits the band’s blonde Mancunian mouthpiece, and the reason is simple: “It’s because we’re not in the gossip magazines. We’ve made it into the broadsheets because, apparently, we’ve established ourselves as a band with a lot to say. But everything is about celebrity culture now – it doesn’t really matter if you’ve got a valid opinion as long as you’ve got your boobs out.”
Wow… the Dolly Rockers agree with my take on the establishment!
Their latest single, “Gold Digger” is actually about so-called celebrity culture (the “establishment” of today). Here’s the video with the lyrics below. (Btw, WAG = Wives and Girlfriends of football/soccer players)
Or go to the video here.
So there is a WAG in every mag that you all know
Thinks shes got everything but she ain’t got nothing
Well she was real plain, had no brain and had no dough
But now she can roll in it and watch her boobs grow
All the boys will pay whooa ooow
When shes out for prey if theyre straight or gay
She wont end up alone
All the boys stand still Whooa ooow
If looks could kill they probably will
Chorus
Theres a brand new girl thats going round
turning the boys upside down, Gold Digger
Shes an only child thats been away,
now shes back no-ones safe, Gold Digger
Its all very well if you kiss n tell to get ahead
Fit blokes dont count for much unless they got money
They pay for the glitz and the refurb tits
And turned up nose
Maxes their credit card and then its heave ho
All the boys will pay Waoo-o-o
When shes out for prey if theyre straight or gay
She wont end up alone
All the boys stand still Waoo-o-o
If looks could kill they probably will
Chorus
Theres a brand new girl thats going round
turning the boys upside down, Gold Digger
Shes an only child thats been away,
now shes back no-ones safe, Gold Digger
Stick on nails & plastic hair
Gucci bags and Prada shoes
Girl goes clubbing every night
Get a fright when light comes on
Paris Whitney Hilton (born February 17, 1981) is an American socialite, heiress, media personality, model, singer, author, fashion designer and actress.
Hilton is known for her appearance in a sex tape in 2003, her appearance on the television series The Simple Life, her several minor film roles (most notably her role in the horror film House of Wax in 2005), her 2004 tongue-in-cheek autobiography, her 2006 music album Paris, and her work in modeling. As a result of several legal incidents, Hilton also served a widely publicized sentence in a Los Angeles County jail in 2007.
What do Paris Hilton and a paparazzi have in common? Both need/wants attention. I know, I know, makakatanggap ako ng “taas-kilay” sa sinabi ko. I have nothing against Ms. Hilton, I just don’t like what she’s doing with her life.
Ang mga Attention seekers in tagalog “Pampams”. Someone who will do whatever thing to get attention; sleep around, cry for no reason, gets angry at friends for no reason, starts arguments with friends for no reason, etc. These kind of people like to constantly test their relationship/friendships to feel wanted. Usually hideously overstated but can also be completely untrue in order for people to respond as they don’t have life/friends.
Eto ang tingin ko sa MGA nag cy-cyber bully lately na “kapansin-pansin” sa mga networking sites. It’s like traditional bullying only even more cowardly, because the bully never has to show themselves. It can be anything from general verbal bullying, insults. It may come via online networks like dating or social networking sites like facebook, friendster, myspace etc. This is an indication of a person having a fragile character, and typically a feeling of insecurity and inferiority, and in order to hide it, or make themselves feel more powerful, he/she acts out as bully.
Well FOR me, if this person wants the victim to feel or look bad, well IT’S NOT. You are the one who’s really looking bad and feeling bad for yourself. I hate to say this but I pity these kinds of people. Just don’t give them a reaction. That’s what they want, ATTENTION.
“A cat wants attention. Imagine what could happen if the cat didn’t get attention. They might… paw at you!”
(CN) – Paris Hilton won a round in her lawsuit against Hallmark over its use of her image and catchphrase, “that’s hot,” in a birthday card. The 9th Circuit on Monday rejected the card maker’s bid to have the case dismissed on the ground that the lawsuit was meant to chill speech that merely spoofed the hotel heiress’ public persona.
The card contained an oversized photograph of Hilton’s head superimposed on a cartoon waitress’ body, with the caption “Paris’s First Day as a Waitress.” The cartoon Hilton tells a customer, “Don’t touch that, it’s hot.” The customer replies, “What’s hot?” and Hilton answers, “That’s hot.” The inside of the card reads, “Have a smokin’ hot birthday.”
Hilton claimed Hallmark had lifted the concept from her reality television show, “The Simple Life,” in which she and friend Nicole Ritchie, who had a similarly privileged upbringing, do things an average person might do, such as work at a fast-food restaurant.
She sued Hallmark for misappropriation of publicity, false designation and trademark infringement. U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson in Los Angeles allowed her to proceed on all but the trademark claim, a decision Hallmark appealed.
Hallmark also moved to strike the right of publicity claim as a strategic lawsuit against public participation, or SLAPP.
The three-judge panel in Pasadena ruled for Hilton on both the appeal and the anti-SLAPP motion to strike.
The judges agreed with Hallmark that the card qualifies as protected speech on an “issue of public interest” – namely, Hilton’s celebrity. However, they said California’s anti-SLAPP statute doesn’t bar Hilton from suing over such speech if she can present a “legally sufficient claim.”
Hallmark didn’t question whether Hilton could meet this minimal requirement, but instead asserted two defenses for why the card didn’t violate Hilton’s publicity rights: it constituted “transformative use,” and it concerned a matter of “public interest.”
But the appellate panel said it can’t strike the claim based on the transformative-use defense, because Hilton “has at least some probability of prevailing on the merits” at trial. And the public interest defense doesn’t apply, the court ruled, because the birthday card doesn’t publish or report newsworthy information.
The court rejected Hallmark’s appeal, affirmed denial of its motion to strike, and sent the case back to federal court in Los Angeles.
She will appear on Oprah to tell her side of the story of this whole nude video debacle. Even though Erin is quite a good looking gal and knows her sports. I don’t feel really that bad for her and she is using this story to stir up attention in my opinion.
I find it funny how she is trying to put it in the past, but she still talks about it like 6th grade girls talk about the girl they hate. I think this is an Inside Job because it’s been 2 months already and the creep hasn’t been found. In most cases like this they find them within a couple weeks. People just don’t randomly go up to a peephole and start videotaping someone nude. Someone close to her perhaps a coworker probably filmed it. Just look up her name on the Internet and there are billions of sites devoted to her and an Erin Andrews nude photo is an ESPN watcher wet dream.
Many people think that having nude pics destroys your whole career. Vanessa Hudgens had nothing on and she is more famous than ever. Hell even Paris Hilton is only famous for that tape she had and she has tons of awful reality shows now. Like my boys Opie and Anthony they got fired because someone had sex in a church, now they on XM-Sirius. My guess is Erin is going to get a lot of publicity on Oprah and then she’ll maybe Co-Host The View and become huge. It’s pretty sad that people have to do this to get a better job these days.
