Sarah Silverman Blasts Paris Hilton

Posted Jun 04, 2007

Sarah Silverman takes a dig at Paris Hilton at the MTV Movie Awards, and the entire crowd laughs at the jail-bound heiress’ expense.

Sarah Silverman took a page out of “Mean Girls” and let Paris Hilton have IT in front of millions at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. Hilton sat in the audience and took it like the bad sport that she is. Boo you whore.

Meanwhile, here in NYC, Madame Tussauds updated their wax figure of Paris on Monday to reflect her current social standing. No doubt the staff at Tussauds has seen “Mean Girls” as well.

In other Paris news, a $500,000 lawsuit is being issued against her record label in the London High Court due to her debut pop single ‘Stars Are Blind’ being a blatant rip-off of one of UB40’s most popular songs “Kingstown Town”. Hilton, however, was not named in the suit since she’s been dropped by the label due to her album’s disappointing sales.

The McDougals

Later that night the McDougals were enjoying their cocktail hour, which generally lasted from 5pm to last man standing…

Supernatural

Supernatural is one of the best suspense/horror TV shows to hit the air waves since the X-Files and it goes without saying that it’s one of my favorites as well.

The show centers on brothers Sam and Dean Winchester ( Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles ), who as young boys witness the mysterious, paranormal death of their mother and the disappearance of their father thereafter.

As adults, the boys embark on a quest for answers to that eventful night, encountering supernatural with every twist and turn along the way. The stylized show is an excellent mix of backwoods, American Gothic horror and moody suspense, it’ like The X-Files on testosterone starring two very likable leading men.

Julian And Dylan Sitting In A Tree

Julian McMahon seems to be taking the events on this season’s “Nip/Tuck” literally. McMahon’s character, Dr. Christian Troy’s sexuality has been in question in the new season of the hit TV show and according to starpulse.com, Julian is all too comfortable with it. Read on:

Julian McMahon Surprised ‘Nip/Tuck’ Co-Star With Gay Kiss

Julian McMahon shocked his Nip/Tuck co-star Dylan Walsh when he passionately kissed him on the mouth while filming a scene for the show. The pair, who play plastic surgery partners Christian Troy and Sean McNamara, were shooting a scene for a dream sequence when things got out of control.

McMahon explains, “Well, firstly, it wasn’t meant to be a kiss. But I was enjoying Dylan’s discomfort so much that I went for it. I’ve always said we should finish the show with this: Someone turns on the shower, and you see footsteps going in the back door (of Sean’s house). Someone comes into the bathroom, and it’s Christian visiting Sean. These are two guys who are obsessed with each other.”

While McMahon claims he’s sexually adventurous, he insists his co-star is a bit more conservative and was nervous about the scene. He adds jokingly, “I don’t think he’s ever gotten it on with a guy before.”

Weather this is all true or just Julian speaking on behalf of the Nip/Tuck publicity wagon in an effort to win over more gay viewers is anyone’s guess. In the mean time, Nip/Tuck continues to be one of the best and hottest shows on the air right now. Tune in, you won’t be disappointed.

Summer's Not Over

At least according to The Rolling Stone and The Advocate it’s not. Both publications are sporting covers which look more like advertisements for a gay, Spring Break Wet T-Shirt contest than their usual fare.

In the left corner we have Julian McMahon, the sexy Aussie actor who plays Dr. Christian Troy on the FX Network’s powerhouse TV show “Nip/Tuck” as he appears on the cover of the upcoming Septemper 12th issue of The Advocate, squaring off against last week’s Rolling Stone cover boy, pop diva Justin Timberlake.

I’ve never cared much for Justin myself, he’s a bit too “femme” for my tastes, so my money is on Julian to win top ho honors and take the $1,000 grand prize along with the obligatory all-night open bar tab which will no doubt follow.

In true Spring Break slut fashion, I’m betting anything these two will end up making out in front of a group of rowdy guys cheering them on and wake up the next morning in the same bed not knowing what they did. And you know Justin’s the bitch who’ll be hung over and throwing up all over the place the next day. I can totally see it. Oh the visuals.

You're Fired!

Donald Trump has given the axe to his longtime right-hand woman and Apprentice costar Carolyn Kepcher.

According to the New York Post, Kepcher was given the boot after Trump became frustrated by her outside projects. Carolyn “became a prima donna” says a source for The Post, “being on ‘The Apprentice’ went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements.” The source also goes on to say “that when Trump tried to reach her recently, she was off on a trip to make a speech. Another time, while giving a tour of the pro shop at the Briarcliff club, she didn’t seem to know the prices on any of the merchandise.”

Anchor Aweigh!

Is someone at CBS is trying to tell Katie Couric something? New ads appearing in the network’s in-house magazine promoting Couric’s debut on “CBS Evening News” show the former “Today Show” co-host 20 pounds lighter courtesy of image editing software Photoshop.

The image on the left shows Couric, 49, as she appeared at the CBS “Upfront” presentation at Carnegie Hall in May of this year, wearing a frumpy light gray suit and her trademark smile. The one on the right shows a much slimmer Katie wearing the same suit, a few shades darker. Couric was unaware of the altered photograph until yesterday, but said she liked the original better. “There’s more of me to love,” she joked.

A spokesman for CBS commented “The picture was retouched without the knowledge of Ms. Couric or CBS News management.” An insider for the magazine insisted the publication was “just following normal industry practice” when it gave Couric a makeover.
