Nicky Hilton doesn’t have anorexia, it seems she just doesn’t take a good photograph. She can look super-skinny sometimes, notably in these pictures, but Paris’ little sister denies having an eating disorder.

Hilton, who has been dogged by Internet speculation about recent weight loss, hit back at the reports. “There’s no truth to any starvation, eating disorders, rumors,” she told People Tuesday at her Nicholai fashion show, part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in L.A.

“I think the press has been printing a lot of pictures of me from unflattering angles,” added the 24-year-old designer. “My friends see the pictures and they’re like ‘Oh my god are you okay?’ And then they see me, and they’re like ‘Oh … ‘ It’s really not that interesting or true.”

I have a huge amount of sympathy for celebrities having their photo taken. While a glamorous shoot for a magazine gets re-touched and looks fabulous, sometimes you look at a cover and it is hard to identify who the celebrity is, they’ve been altered beyond recognition.

Paparazzi shots are even worse, because they can get those totally unflattering shots of your skirt sticking with static to your behind, the light behind your legs highlighting the fact you need a shave, or looking particularly thin. While some of us might love the pictures that make us look skinny, it seems that for the slimmer members of the population you stop looking slender and just look unwell.

Nicky has a new fashion collection out this week, called Nicholai. Sister Paris was in attendance at the show, wearing a dress from the collection, with her latest accessory, Benji Madden. She wore one of Nicky’s creations and said it was one of her favorites.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures of Nicky’s show on Tuesday, including some of her fashion designs.

Paris Hilton was seen out wearing a large, completely unsubtle ring on her left ring finger with the initials “BM,” which was thought to be for her new boyfriend, Benji Madden.

There is of course speculation that she’s engaged. It looks more like a giant token of Madden’s love, like something an eighth grade girl would wear on a big chain around her neck, having convinced her boyfriend to buy it for her during a planned detour to the jewelry department of the local JcPenney. Paris also has a necklace with a big “B” on it, but that wasn’t getting the press coverage so was looking for so she switched to a ring.

I was so hoping that these two were parading around in public as part of Ashton Kutcher’s new reality show, but if that’s the case it wasn’t revealed in the first episode last night.

Paris wore the lovely sparkler to the opening of the Kim Vo Salon at the Mirage resort on Friday. She frequently held her hands up to her face, laughing giddily, curtains of spit visible in her open mouth. At one point she even held her cellphone with both hands so the photographers wouldn’t miss yet another shot of the ring. When asked if the ring meant that she was engaged, she said “It means exactly what it means.”

There’s something else that BM can stand for, and given how skinny Paris is she might need a constant reminder to go. I’ve heard that adderall can really block you up. And I hope that’s the case for Paris, because that dress is clinging to her and she’s got some sort of bump going on. Please don’t let her be pregnant.

Nicole Richie praised her baby daddy’s twin brother in her People interview, and revealed that Benji Madden is always willing to babysit her now seven week-old daughter, Harlow. Nicole also said that Harlow smiled for the first time at her uncle. According to ever-reliable Star Magazine, Benji is more of a nuisance than a help, and Nicole and Joel are said to have set him up with Paris in order to get him out of their house.

A source tells Star the 28-year-old Good Charlotte guitarist has holed up in his Glendale, California home, which he shares with his twin brother, Joel. Joe’s fiancée, Nicole Richie, and their new baby, Harlow. As a result, he “barges in on them all the time,” says the source. “Nicole insists that Joel lock their bedroom door at night because she’s afraid of Benji walking in on them.” The new arrangement is driving Joel and Nicole so crazy that they’re trying to set Benji up, adds the source!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, March 10, 2008]

According to Nicole’s People interview, Benji lives down the street, not in the same house, but he’s probably over there all the time. Who knows if this is true, but considering that Benji is with Paris now someone has to have a problem with him if they didn’t at least warn him against hooking up with her.

Benji’s ex girlfriend Sophie Monk spoke out earlier this week about rumors that the rocker left her for the heirhead. She wished her ex well, and made it clear that their breakup was mutual:

“Benji and I did not break up badly or anything like that. We both decided, as adults, our relationship had run its course and decided to move on.”

She also said: “I feel no animosity towards Benji and Paris at all and am very happy with life at the moment.”

How embarrassing it must be to see your ex cavorting around with Paris Hilton in “notice me!” lookalike clothing. These two immediately hit all the paparazzi targets to let the world know they were together. People are speculating that he did it to make Sophie jealous after their breakup.

Meanwhile Star Magazine notes in the article we mentioned above that gorgeous Monk was seen out having brunch with a hunky video game director, James Rubin, on February 15. It looks like she’s moved on to someone more her speed while Benji has been reduced to playing tag along with Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton continues on her never ending quest to appear to have depth. Unfortunately when you’re as shallow as Paris, there’s not much to work with. Remember her planned trip to Africa to feed starving orphans (or some such cliché)? Well that didn’t exactly pan out… you know because it was hard… but luckily Paris has stumbled upon the next best way to look deep. She’s teamed up with a fake guru to wander the streets of L.A., holding metaphysical books and looking pained. Oh Paris, you’re so unique.

Always one to take the road less traveled Paris Hilton has stepped out with the latest fashion must-have - her very own Buddhist monk, complete with flowing orange robes and a mane of grey hair. The bizarre duo were spotted wandering around LA, taking time to pop into a spiritual book shop and a luxury hotel.

The 27-year-old went for and understated look, with a demure white outfit as she browsed the shelves of the Bodhi Tree bookstore. The hotel-heiress has been attempting change her party-girl image and it looks as if the ageing monk is giving her a helping hand.

Paris and her “guru” sat down to read a book called “The Path to the Painted Shaman” and the Hollywood celebrity appeared to be listening intently to what he had to say. The monk also persuaded Paris to give away a piece of diamond jewelery as they wandered the streets together.

[From the Daily Mail]

I’m sure it was just good quality cubic zirconia. I doubt Paris Hilton would give away diamonds for anything – though I’d really like to know who she supposedly gave them to. Was it a street person, or just some random passerby? Did the person ask for it, or was the guru bringing it up at random? The best part is that the guru isn’t a guru at all – he’s an actor.

So you didn’t think Paris Hilton was phony enough? Her “Guru” that has supposedly changed her life is actually a Hollywood actor. His name is Maxie Santillan. He’s starred in tons of films and TV shows including “My Name is Earl” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” According to IMDB, Maxie’s latest projects are all in “post production” so clearly he has enough free time to whore it up for Paris.

BTW, Maxie’s MySpace profile quote makes it clear — he’s the perfect spiritual guide for Paris. It reads, “Burbank can kiss my a**.”

[From TMZ]

There’s no way to ascertain whether Paris knows Santillan is an actor or if she thinks he’s really a monk. I really really really hope this is for an upcoming episode of Punk’d or something. Which I don’t think is even on anymore, but if there was anyone who deserves to be Punk’d, it’s definitely Paris. She’d laugh like she was in on it the whole time, but only because she has no idea what’s going on, and in that type of situation it’s always best to laugh.

Paris is shown out with her “Shaman” on 3/1/08. She is also shown in 944 Magazine. If I had a dollar for every time a guru told me to dress like that…

Paris Hilton is going to get another reality show after The Simple Life ended following way too long a run and her film career ran its course. It’s going to be a show that will air on either MTV or VH1 and will “be about her searching for a new best friend,” according to a source quoted on US Weekly’s website. The unnamed source goes on to add in a sentiment reminiscent of the social issues that plagued us in Jr. High that “Paris is tired of the haters and she’s looking for someone new. She’s looking for someone new and cool who she can trust.”

Of course a reality show will be the best venue for Paris to find a trustworthy buddy who will stick with her through thick and pharmacologically-maintained thin. It worked so well for her the last time.

Paris’ latest relationship sheds light on why she may need to turn to reality TV to find a fellow fame whore girlfriend. She’s been seen all over town with Benji Madden, the recently-single twin brother of Nicole Richie’s baby daddy, Joel Madden.

Paris and Nicole were said to have tentatively reunited after their long standing feud that had them filming scenes separately for the third season of The Simple Life. Their insincere make-up was caught on tape and used as promotion for the reality show, but it wasn’t too convincing. There were rumors that they were playing up their feud for publicity’s sake and were secretly staying friends behind the scenes, but it never seemed like there was much love lost between those two to me. Paris was a co-host at Nicole Richie’s baby shower, but was said to be miffed that Nicole supposedly gave away the expensive crib she gave her to charity.

Her new relationship with Benji Madden seems to be a dig at Nicole, but maybe Paris is just taking what she can get and using it for publicity. She seems to have made a very successful career out of doing that.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are shown out shopping yesterday at Fred Segal. These pictures are credited to the same day, but somehow Paris is wearing two different outfits. I’m sure they’re still the same day. Thanks to Splash.

The Hilton family must be so proud. First there’s Paris, starring in sex tapes, sleeping with everything that moves, and flashing her lady bits for the world to see. Then there’s Nicky, relatively dull compared to Paris, but who still manages to do little but party it up. Though she’s had a few failed business ventures to add to her resume, like her Nicky O hotel in South Beach - she gave the pitch presentation using drawings and poster board, just like you did in fifth grade. Now we can add 18-year-old Baron Hilton to the mix – yes Rick and Kathy Hilton actually have four celebuspawns, the younger two being Barron and brother Conrad, 13. Barron has really lived up to the Hilton family lineage, getting his very first DUI last night – that’s right, he beat Paris by seven years! What else must his future have in store for him?

TMZ has learned 18-year-old Barron Hilton, Paris’ little brother, was arrested for DUI in Malibu at 8:30 AM this morning!

Cops tell TMZ he was driving a black Mercedes on Pacific Coast Highway with a passenger — not one of his sisters– when he was pulled over at a 76 gas station.

He’s currently in the process of being booked at the Lost Hills Sheriff’s station — the same place Mel Gibson was taken.

Congratulations Hilton parents. Your progeny are truly something to be proud of. Clearly you have taught them excellent values and morals, which is why they constantly provide you with so much light and joy, never once embarrassing the greater extended Hilton family. Many of the rest of the Hiltons are actually pretty upstanding people, and have donated vast quantities of their wealth to charity. Something tells me that the future doesn’t look quite so brightly philanthropic for this particular branch of the family tree.

If anyone can find two different people to date whose parents also thought it was a good idea to name them after a famous European city, it’s Paris Hilton. She had an on-off relationship with Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, a male, and has now reportedly found temporary love in the arms of another woman also named Paris. Not feeling guilty for calling out your own name in the throws of passion is one of the perks of picking a mate with the same first name, and for someone as vain as Paris that probably matters. Anyone who’s willing to risk their health and wants to get with Paris should just tell her their name is also Paris and they’re in for a moderately satisfying time, if her sex tape and bland personality are anything to go by.

The 26-year-old Hilton heiress has ignited a torrid romance with 22-year-old Paris Pickard, an aspiring film director, say sources.

The two have been seen making out at several lesbian clubs, an insider told The Enquirer.

“The relationship has been going on a little over two months, and while Paris P. would love the relationship to be exclusive, the feeling isn’t mutual,” says the isnider.

“The Simple Life” star has also reportedly danced close with Katherine Moennig and Daniela Sea of “The L Word” in LA - and was also reportedly caught in a lip lock with “24″ star Elisha Cuthbert in NY…

“Paris P feels she has a special bond with Paris Hilton, but the two women had a huge fight about fidelity, and Paris H told Paris P that she’d like to keep dating her, but that she’d have to be OK with her being very flirtatious.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, February 18, 2008]

Paris Hilton recently confirmed that she’s up for a role in the Showtime lesbian drama “The L Word,” and told US Magazine that she’s “in for talks” after the strike is over and is “definitely shooting it.” When asked by a paparazzo about the kiss with Elisha Cuthbert, Paris said said “Elisha’s like my sister, that’s not true.” When the photographer asked her if she’s “batting for the other team,” she said “no I’m not.” Maybe Paris is just a pitch hitter.

There are a lot of photos of Paris Pickard on the Flickr site for a fellow photographer and filmmaker. She’s gorgeous and could easily be a celebrity herself. If this story is true I wonder what she sees in Paris.

The American public often behaves in a way that makes me think there is hope for the future. This time, I’m encouraged by the fact that Paris Hilton’s new movie, “The Hottie and the Nottie,” was an abysmal failure this weekend– both with the critics and at the box office. I was actually a little scared that people might go see it out of boredom or curiosity. But I was very happy to hear that the movie brought in only $26,000 in limited release, according to ticket sales tabulated late Sunday.

Hilton’s new film, meanwhile, The Hottie and the Nottie, was a definite nottie.

The comedy, the all-new tale of a gorgeous blonde and her less-attractive brunette best friend, “grossed” $26,000 at 111 theaters. By comparison, In Bruges, the Colin Farrell hit-man comedy, grossed, in the truer sense of the word, $471,200 at only 28 theaters.

Now, this isn’t quite as much of a floating turd as Jessica Simpson’s movie, “Blonde Ambition,” however it did perform even more poorly than Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards’ stinker, “Blonde and Blonder.” It also drew brutal reviews from every critic who had the misfortune of seeing it.

One would think that after increasingly embarrassing forays into reality television, the Internet and the penitentiary, Paris Hilton might have taken a moment to reflect on her choices. Or perhaps not: with “The Hottie & the Nottie” Ms. Hilton proves yet again that introspection — not to mention shame — is as alien to her as a life without paparazzi. Custom designed for its smirking star (who is also an executive producer), this tasteless train wreck asks only that she preen and prance on cue.

[From The NY Times]

It’s almost needless to describe how awful “Hottie” is. It’s a total and complete misfire of intention and execution; an utterly worthless, unfunny sack of pain that doesn’t deserve anyone’s time or attention. It’s best to ignore it, like one might avoid say the plague or a “Two and a Half Men” studio taping. Oh yes, it’s that bad.

However, to lunge at Hilton’s throat for this botched abortion is too easy and truly not where this trail of tears leads. The culprit is Joel David Moore, an actor who, for some unknown reason, was told early on in his career that he was funny, and now we all have to pay for this demonic miscalculation of talent.

[From Celebrity Wonder]

America, thank you for showing your good taste and judgment by avoiding this movie. Paris doesn’t need any encouragement to continue her “acting” career. Hopefully this will be the nail in the coffin on that front, and she will go back to being tabloid fodder so we can all ignore her again.

Paris Hilton has a range of dolls coming out. They aren’t meant to look like her, her wonky eye was too difficult to recreate in a doll without moving eyes, but she has styled them and their accessories.

Little girls who cannot get enough of US showbiz personality Paris Hilton will be able to buy fashion dolls that wear dresses chosen by the millionaire heiress herself. Simba Toys, a German company, launched the range Wednesday on the eve of the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany, the world’s top toy event.

The Hilton dolls will go on sale in Europe this year alongside Simba’s existing doll character, Steffi Love, which competes in a fashion doll market dominated by a US rival, Barbie.

Earth Times

I doubt that many parents will buy these dolls for their kids, although my 12 year old sister is demanding one. Parents do buy their kids those equally unappealing Bratz dollz, so the Paris-styled doll could be popular. The doll isn’t actually created in Paris’ image, but is styled by her, featuring a mini skirt and trendy accessories like an MP3 player, with silver streaks in the doll hair.

Paris, while vaguely involved in the design of the doll, won’t be putting in a special appearance at the launch. A Paris look-alike will be at the event. Paris will be too busy promoting her lame-ass movie The Hottie and the Nottie, or her perfume, or some other crap. Is there anything that girl won’t endorse? Actually, this isn’t her first offer of a doll designed in her image…

Paris Hilton turned down the chance to have a sex doll made in her image - because the idea freaked her out. Hilton hated the thought of strangers making love to a doll that looked exactly like her, even though the venture would have made her a fortune. She says, “I turn down perverted things, some sex things. Like a Paris Hilton blow-up doll. “They were like, ‘They’ll sell for $50,000 each, it’ll be the real-life you.’ And I’m like, ‘I really don’t want a real-life me with anyone, anywhere. No!’”

Contact Music

Basically, the marketers of the toys know who is going to buy them – the men who wanted that sex doll. So Paris, you’ve just endorsed a sex doll, in miniature. Even if it’s not used in the same way (please google this, don’t ask me what people do with sex dolls, I’m a bit prudish and not really up to explaining) but my boy cousins always enjoyed coming around and taking the clothes off of my Barbie dolls to look at their bits. I wonder if they got a shock when they saw their first naked woman. “What! Her boobs aren’t at right angles to her body, and she has genitalia!” Fortunately for the boys who check out the Paris doll for the same reason, they have the opportunity to see her naked online.

In a new interview in Parade Magazine, Paris Hilton reveals her life strategies for feeling sexy, and says that the rumors that she’s set to play as lesbian on the television show “The L Word” are actually true. All those stories about how Paris is a party girl just aren’t accurate, she says, and she manages to handle the stress of it all and remain gracious by relying on the fine manners her non-slutty mother, Kathy, taught her. If you’re down about yourself and want to feel better, “just get a makeover” Paris says, as if we all have a team of hairstylists, makeup artists, designers and tanning spray-guys clamoring to make each of us the most plastic and orange we can possibly be.

You’ve sometimes been called a diva, but I have never once seen you be rude to anyone.

“That was definitely the way that we were raised by my mom. She always taught us to be polite. We had the best manners, so I’ve kept them.”

Any other “mom advice” you still carry with you?

“‘Put your shoulders back and don’t chew gum.’”

“My mom has always been really supportive. She’s one of my best friends. And she’s just always told me to stay the same and stay the sweet girl I’ve always been since I was little and not let any of the Hollywood stuff get to my head, and you’ll leave a good karma…”

The media seem preoccupied with the “Hollywood bad girls,” and often your name is on that list. Is that unfair?

“Yeah, you know, that’s just a stereotype they’ve come up with. And that’s fine, but I’m not a bad girl [laughs].”

We’ve even seen you under pressure during some stressful times. How do you keep the day-to-day attention from getting to you?

“I handle it really well. I don’t let that bother me or let the media or paparazzi take over my life. I try not to pay attention to things that are negative…”

Every woman has an ugly day. Do you?

“I think we’re humans. All girls feel like a “nottie” some days—like someone who isn’t turning heads. That’s just part of life. I just get a facial or a massage. Pampering yourself gets you back into “hottie”-ness…”

Not everyone can be a “hottie,” but can they still find something in themselves to feel good about?

“Definitely. I think that’s what life is about. You only live once, and you want to make it as best a life you can have. And I feel like, if people are confident and believe in themselves, that they can all be “hotties.”

“If you’re single and you want to go dating and have fun and be young and whatever, just go and get a makeover.”

[From Parade.com]

When asked if she’d rather be rich or famous, Paris said “rich, because then… you can just have everything you want and not have to deal with the press and people following you,” but conceded that she has both and that “It doesn’t even make any difference. I could be happy if I had nothing.”

Here’s Paris at the LA premiere of The Hottie and The Nottie last night. It definitely looks like she was cast in the wrong role when you check out her gorgeous costar Christine Lakin. Here’s the trailer, it actually looks mildly funny. The film isin limited release in the US starting February 8.
