Paris Hilton has sunk to a new low: hiding in bathrooms. Not to do anything illicit and semi-trendy (at least I think not), but instead to avoid getting kicked out of a party. That’s right, Paris snuck into a Golden Globes party she wasn’t invited to, and when she heard she was going to get the boot – which is humiliating enough – instead of exiting quickly to avoid a scene, she decided to hide in the bathroom. If that’s not the most pathetic act of desperation I’ve ever heard of, I don’t know what is.

Hey, it was worth a try. Paris Hilton hid in the bathroom at Creative Artist Agency’s big post-Golden Globes bash Sunday night after CAA’s Kevin Huvane caught her slipping in uninvited — and loudly demanded she be removed from the Sunset Towers party.

“Kevin was outraged at her sense of entitlement, and he was adamant that she be removed,” an eyewitness confides to us. “He was storming around, yelling ‘Who let her in? She is not invited, and somebody had better get her out of here immediately!’”

LAPD security and event planners had to wait for the heir-head to exit the powder room so they could toss her, and finally — a good 15 minutes later — she emerged looking red-faced and embarrassed.

Perhaps Paris should remember that to be in the same class as actual invitees like Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Sting and Ralph Fiennes, you actually have to be famous for doing something other than shopping.

I really hope Paris was more than just red faced. She should be totally mortified with herself. It just shows how truly stupid she is, despite her protestations that she’s not dumb.

This isn’t the first time Paris has been persona non grata. In fact she’s got a long rap sheet. She’s been banned from Vanity Fair parties and anything editor Graydon Carter touches. She was banned from Bungalow 8, the Gramercy Park Hotel’s Rose Bar, the Moscow Hyatt (for writing her name on the wall), and Alexander McQueen’s store. In a few cases she did things that pissed the owners off, but more often than not she was banned just for being Paris, and thus being utterly insufferable.

Suffice it to say Paris is often unwanted. Why in the world would she try to sneak into a party that she wasn’t invited to? The woman is incapable of blending in. Her entire life revolves around getting as much attention for doing as little as possible. Did she think she’d go in unnoticed? As Gatecrasher points out, perhaps she should actually do something with herself if she’d like to attend better parties.

Sean Combs has decided to do good this New Year’s Eve.  He and his team have joined forces with New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission to provide free cab rides home to New Yorkers who choose to celebrate the holiday with bottles of booze.  $15 vouchers will be handed out at Times Square and in Chelsea from Wednesday at 11pm until early in the morning on Thursday.  Combs says that even though New Years Eve should be fun, that doesn’t mean people should be taking risks:

New York is the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve city, so let’s lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely.

This is sort of like a PSA in action.  Instead of filming an ad, he’s actually taking it to the streets.  That sounds pretty good to me.  I’m wondering what the response would be if someone like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Barron Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Shia LeBeouf, Heather Locklear, or even Mischa Barton (to name a few) had thought of this.  At least Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/P Diddy (just pick one!) isn’t being a complete hypocrite here.  Still, I wonder how many people will take him up on this.  Sure, it’s a free cab ride, but if you’re going to be a moron and drive drunk, you’re going to be a moron and drive drunk.

But he may have an ulterior motive to all of this. He also wants to redesign the New Year’s Eve Ball to resemble the “well-known blue stone emblem” of his brand of vodka, Ciroc.  He’s promised to give $1 million to charity if the city lets him go through with it.  That’s not a charity donation; that’s a payment for an advertisement.  But if he looks like he’s doing good by giving out free cab credits to revelers who may have gotten drunk on his vodka, he might get the public on his side.

Clever, but somehow I doubt Michael Bloomberg would agree.

Dina Lohan has always made a really big deal about what a great mother she is. Oh, and how she doesn’t party with her kids – despite all the hideous photographic evidence to the contrary. She once infamously told a Bazaar reporter, “‘If you can button it and clip it when you’re in your 40s, you’re going out.’” Since then Dina’s done nothing but swear up and down that she doesn’t party with her kids. And to prove it, she recently took her son Michael – who just turned 21 – to New York hotspot 1Oak to celebrate his 21st birthday.

DINA Lohan isn’t feeling as tied down as her daughter, Lindsay, is. While Lindsay has been taking to her MySpace blog to vent about her troubled life, Dina is living it up. The “Mother of the Year” - who constantly claims she doesn’t go out to nightclubs with her kids - took her just-turned-21 son, Michael, to 1Oak the other night to celebrate his being of legal drinking age. But unlike her old days of clubbing with Lindsay, the mom of four left the bash early. One partygoer told us, “Michael had a low-key night.”

[From Page Six]

I absolutely do not buy that. Dina seems like the “Let’s snort cocaine off this prostitute’s stomach” kind of mom. I have no idea if that’s actually possible, but assuming it is, it’s also safe to assume that Dina’s probably done it.

You’d think that if she had one ounce of the caring mother instinct, Dina would go out of her way to protect all her other children from making the same mistakes she made with Lindsay. You know, partying and drinking and drugging with her. It’s really not all that hard to do. In fact, all it takes is NOT doing something – which is inherently easier than doing something.

I feel really sorry for Michael. Not only does he have to bear the name of his douche bag father, but he’s had to escort his pathetic mom to multiple events, acting as her date because no one else wants to be seen with Dina. And her idea of a nice time is to take the poor kid out to an exclusive nightclub. Going to a hot club with your mom would be mortifying to any 21-year-old. The only thing that could make it worse is if your mom were Dina Lohan.

Here’s Dina with poor young Michael at the party for Sephora’s 10 year anniversary in New York on July 17th. Michael Jr. looks so much like Lindsay that I swear I can actually see his bespeckled bosom. Images thanks to WENN and Bauer-Griffin.

Here’s a puzzling bit of news for you: Paris Hilton – despite being incapable of acting - has been cast in a film by well-respected director Todd Solondz. And it actually looks like a good film. At least it did, until Paris’ name was associated with it.

Paris Hilton BFF with . . . Todd Solondz?

The indie filmmaker’s newest ensemble project, a dramatic family comedy set against the backdrop of a war, features the socialite alongside Allison Janney, Charlotte Rampling and Paul Reubens.

The producers describe the untitled project as a “part-sequel, part-variation” on Solondz’s dark 1998 family saga “Happiness.”

Hilton is currently in theaters, along with Paul Sorvino and Sarah Brightman, with the low-budget horror musical “Repo! The Genetic Opera.”

It’s important to note that Paris has gotten some of the worst reviews in recent memory for her role in “Repo!” I don’t think anything – or anyone – has been so universally panned since Lindsay Lohan’s legendary “I Know Who Killed Me.”

In other Paris news, she and boyfriend Benji Madden are planning on spending New Years in Sydney, hosting a pay-per-view party. Lucky Australians can attend in real life, but the rest of us losers can join the party via the internet for a mere $5. What a bargain.

LOCK up your boyfriends - Paris Hilton is about to add more fireworks to Sydney’s New Year’s Eve celebrations when she hits town later this year. The celebrity ‘it’ girl and the beau she souvenired from Aussie starlet Sophie Monk have confirmed they will be the star guests at the launch of a new online social networking system, Bongo Virus.

Hilton’s rocker boyfriend Benji Madden will also DJ at the VIP party which will be streamed live around the world. The pay-per-view party will be an invite-only affair for those on the ground in the Harbour city, but for $US5 the desperate and dateless can log on to celebrate with The Simple Life star.

In a press release from the event’s organisers, Hilton is quoted as saying, “I love the idea … Sydney is going to go off this New Year’s Eve … I can’t wait to be partying with the Aussies and Benji deejaying by my side.”

[From News.com]

It is really hard not to make a ton of jokes about Paris Hilton being involved in anything labeled a virus. Seriously, regardless of her involvement, what a horrible name for a product. It just begs for herpes jokes. Or jokes about how Paris Hilton is a virus in general. The article mentions that she was paid half a million dollars for her last party appearance in Australia two years ago, but estimates that with the state of the economy she’s probably had to take a cut rate. I’m hoping it’s somewhere around the $5 the rest of us get to pay to see her.

Here’s Paris “out and about” yesterday in L.A. Images thanks to WENN, Bauer-Griffin, and Fame.

Heidi Klum has long admitted to being obsessed with Halloween. She always has amazing costumes and really goes all-out. This year she dressed up as an incredible six armed Hindu Goddess. Her costume is one of the most elaborate ones I’ve ever seen. Heidi’s party sounds like a ton of fun and has some great pictures.

Heidi Klum kept up tradition on Friday night by hosting her annual spook fest at Big Apple hotspot One OAK. While the soiree wasn’t quite as scary as last year (Britney Spears showed up amid her breakdown in a leopard-skin bikini) it drew a fun flock of a famous people and people who well, at least dressed up as someone famous. (We saw a very interesting “Anderson Cooper” in short, tight lycra bikeshorts, a promiscuous “Palin” and plenty of masked “Wacko Jacko’s”).

Punk princess Pink cruised around as a clown (and was overheard complaining that she was too short standing next to super-tall supermodel Klum) while Jessica Alba attempted to go incognito in a long blonde wig as she and beau Cash Warren (in an afro) sipped some strong cocktails with BFF Jamie King until the wee hours of the morning.

Of course, the belle of the ball was Heidi herself who went all-out as a Hindu Goddess with 6 arms (each carrying swords) severed heads and jewels while her man Seal was a tribal King complete with a braided goatee and some hair on that normally bald head.

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

The Daily News]noted that Heidi was getting pretty hot and uncomfortable by the end of the night. “When Nelly’s ‘Hot in Herre’ started playing Heidi began singing, ‘It’s gettin’ hot in here. I want to take my arms off.’ Sadly I couldn’t find any pictures of the guy dressed as Anderson Cooper. I’m guessing that really just involves some gray hair dye, but bike shorts are helpful too. I’ll also note that Pink really made the rounds on Halloween – she was photographed in the same clown getup at Bette Midler’s party.

In all my life, I would never have imagined that Sean “P Diddy” Combs would ever have any illicit substances served at one of his fancy parties. Certainly not his super posh White Party, which has such specific rules as ladies being waxed and professionally manicured before they show up. But shockingly, Diddy had a plate of special brownies being passed around by waiters. Which was not good news for a desperately hungry Mark Ronson, who hadn’t eaten all day and gobbled three down before he realized something was odd.

MARK Ronson learned to watch what he eats at P. Diddy’s famed White Parties. “I hadn’t eaten all day, and I was starving. They were coming around with this bowl of brownies, and I grabbed three of them and just started scarfing them down,” the deejay tells Paper. After that, “every lyric sounded like it was the Cookie Monster yelling in my ear, and I started feeling really [bleep]y, but I had to play through the set. I couldn’t just go up to Puffy and say, ‘Sorry, I ate a [bleep]-load of hash brownies, I can’t do your White Party.

[From Page Six]

Poor Mark. I don’t care what kind of lifestyle you lead or whose party you’re at: when brownies are being passed around by waiters and you’re ravenous, the first place your mind is going to go to probably isn’t pot brownies. Though it sounds like Mark was so hungry he probably wouldn’t care. I love the image of Cookie Monster yelling in his ear. If that doesn’t keep all but the boldest toddler away from drugs I don’t know what will.

Every year Playboy has its famous/infamous (depending on your opinion) Halloween party where a bunch of girls dress in extra-slutty costumes and show off their goods. Curiously, rabbit costumes are disproportionately represented. The party is definitely one of – if not the – biggest of the year. They do a pretty spectacular Easter party but that one’s actually meant for kids and remarkably age appropriate.

So the part is a big deal – to the point that they actually hold a media preview the weekend before so that photographers can get lots of shots of the girls in their costumes to get more press. Hugh Hefner has had a lot of drama with his girlfriends, including being dumped by longtime lady friend Holly Madison. Holly is still on The Girls Next Door so she had to show up for the event. While Kendra and Bridget managed to dress in their Playboy appropriate best, Holly showed up wearing a tracksuit that screamed “I rolled out of bed and stumbled on over.”

Halloween is just around the corner which means it’s time for another party at the Playboy mansion that I wasn’t invited to. This has got to be my favorite of the Playboy parties because you know you’re going to see some great slutty costumes. Here are The Girls Next Door doing their best to stay in the spotlight. I guess Holly Madison’s upset about Hugh Hefner’s new twin girlfriends because she decided to dress up as a girl on her period. Worst costume ever!

[From Hollywood Tuna]

I just had to quote that article because it’s pretty much the most apt description possible. Although I think in Holly’s case it’s more “girl broke up with a guy” costume. She looks fake and miserable. She’s still pretty and must have put some effort into her hair and face, but c’mon, this is Playboy. Everyone’s paying attention to what’s going on south of your neck.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz out on 10/4/08. Credit: WENN

Emo couple Ashlee Simpson and her new husband, musician Pete Wentz, had a “white trash” themed 24th birthday party for Ashlee. The tasteless soiree was held at Ashlee’s parents’ home on Friday and featured a feast of corn dogs, macaroni and cheese, and cheap beer that some guests drank out of paper bags. Host Pete wore a fake mullet and a tank top while pregnant Ashlee, who is due to have her first child at the end of next month, sported a fake tattoo on her large belly.

Both Life & Style and People have the details, which kind of supplement each other so I’ll include some highlights from each:

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz held one last party on October 3 in LA (to celebrate Ashlee’s 24th bday) before heading off into the sunset as young parents. Their theme? “White Trash.” “They had people come over in costume and dress up in white trash,” a source tells Life & Style. “Wife-beater tank tops, jeans, trucker hats, mullets, - the works. And a lot of beer. Some were drinking beer out of paper bags. It was really hysterical.” The beer of choice in the paper bags? “Pabst Blue Ribbon - PBR.” Ashlee wasn’t drinking it of course!

[From Life and Style received via e-mail]

People has the details of the hosts’ outfits, which paint an even more questionable picture:

“It had a white-trash theme,” says a guest who attended the bash at Simpson’s parents’ home in Encino. “Ashlee wore Daisy Dukes and platform flip-flops with a bathing suit and a fake tattoo around her belly.”

The singer celebrated with friends and family including husband Pete Wentz, dad Joe and sister Jessica.

“Joe wore a cut-off muscle T-shirt and a mullet wig. It was funny,” says a guest. “Jessica was wearing a crazy leopard-print dress that showed off a lot of cleavage.”

The menu included corn dogs, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers and French fries.

With her first child due next month, an exhausted Simpson-Wentz headed home early, missing party guests Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who dropped by after hitting Gwen Stefani’s birthday party earlier that night.

[From People]

Life and Style adds that the perky fringe-banged couple is considering a move to NY after the baby comes to “minimize the paparazzi experience and celebrity exposure.” That’s doubtful considering how much they both court the press. I’m only surprised that we haven’t seen the photos of this party yet considering that it was a Simpson affair. This baby is going to hit the newsstands in some kind of exclusive spread three to four weeks after birth.

Many people find “white trash” to be a derogatory and dismissive term that unfairly labels poor people, particularly those that live in the country or the south. Our friend Michelle over at “White Trash Mom” sees it as term that people can reclaim. In her view, it’s not a negative to be called “White Trash” and it just means you’re normal and not perfect. She thinks most of us have a little white trash inside.

What do you think? Is it harmless fun or kind of mean to have a “White Trash” themed party?

Rumer Willis debuted a much-improved look on the red carpet for the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party last night. She’s let her hair grow out a bit to a more flattering length and was wearing it in a style that fit her face better. She was also sporting a new tattoo that says, “Be Present,” in a pretty script. Rumer’s always had a killer body, but she managed to accent it with just the right dress so it really stood out. All in all she pulled off her look really well.

Rumer Willis is famous for her fashion disasters, but the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore finally got it right at the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party where she turned heads in a barely there black dress which showed off her new toned figure.

The revealing outfit also revealed a tattoo which reads ‘be present’.

Rumer was also sporting a new red hair colour at the event in Los Angeles County Museum of Art and her slender frame.

[From the Daily Mail]

I really love the Daily Mail’s quickly put together stories. That last sentence makes it sound like the event was held at the Museum of Art and in her slender frame. They also originally wrote her tattoo said “Be Prepared.” Because nothing says “cool tattoo” like a Boy Scout motto.

It seems like Rumer’s growing into herself and learning what works for her and what doesn’t. We all have our body issues to deal with, and it can take some time and adjustments to figure out how to conceal or complement them. Rumer’s had to do that in front of the cameras. Luckily it looks like she’s finding a style that works for her.

We’re all allowed our bad moods and bad days. But when you’re a celebrity you forfeit that right – at least to an extent. Fair or not, if you’re in a noticeably bad mood at a public event, people are going to hear about it. And pretty soon you’re known as that crazy diva bitch instead of the nice girl next door you used to be. Unfortunately for Kate Hudson, she was in one of those moods the other night. It doesn’t sound like it was anything legendary, nor does it seem indicative of some well-hidden bitchy persona. In fact it seems all the more surprising because she generally seems pretty nice and down to earth.

KATE Hudson shocked partiers Thursday night with her “nasty and rude” demeanor. Hudson arrived at the Gramercy Park Hotel for the Bravo premiere party for Rachel Zoe’s new show, “The Rachel Zoe Project,” in “an absolutely foul mood,” our spy said. “She was almost indignant waiting for a friend to arrive.” When the friend came, Hudson and pal got in an elevator headed to the rooftop party, but the actress became incensed when there were too many people around her. “In the elevator she kept screeching, ‘I’m freaking out! It’s too much!’ while waving her arms around.”

When she arrived at the roof, Hudson shunned the press line, claiming, “I don’t do that,” before going into a corner and demanding a bodyguard. She perked up when Kevin Connolly came over and flirted with her, before she left for the Rose Bar. A rep for Hudson said, “This is all ridiculous and completely untrue. Kate did go to Rachel’s party to celebrate her new show, had a great time and left with the group of girlfriends she came with.”

[From the New York Post]

Okay Kate’s behavior does sound extraordinarily bitchy. But we all have those days. Normally we can just keep to ourselves, and few of us have press lines to avoid. There are about thirty things I wouldn’t like about being a celebrity, but the notion that you’re always supposed to be overtly nice and friendly to everyone you come across is probably number one.

And I think there’s a good chance that Kate is claustrophobic, and that’s what was going on in the elevator. I have a friend who has severe claustrophobia, and it’s brought on when she’s stressed, anxious, or otherwise in a bad mood, which it sounds like Kate was. Put a person who’s feeling that way in an elevator, and they’re likely to freak out. And that stifled feeling can remain long after they’re partying on the roof deck.

I’ll admit that it sounds like Kate was in a bad mood, but I think everyone gets a pass. This is really more noteworthy because it’s so different from the things that are generally reported about her, not because it’s part of her character.
