Guess Which Celebrity Keeps 90% of the Proceeds From Her 'Charity' Auctions

Erin Gloria Ryan — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:00:00 EST

Boy oh boy do celebrities ever love talking about auctioning things off for charity. They want you to remember that they're such sweet, kind Disney Princesses that it's hard to see their faces, what with all the birds flying around their heads braiding their hair and basking in their goodness. But did you know that some celebrities' "charity" auctions are actually actually just sales that end up supporting celebrities' images and pocketbooks much more than they end up supporting the charities themselves? Who's actually giving it away? Who's pocketing the cash? Let's find out! More »

Palin Hints At Presidential Run, Ruins Christmas

Erin Gloria Ryan — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:10:00 EST

Remember Sarah Palin? Of course you do. You had weird dreams about her for the second half of 2008, and the sight of her randomly stringing conservative buzzwords together on TV like she's some kind of expert causes you to question the value of your college degree. But just when it seemed like she was riding off into the sunset on a red, white, and blue snowmobile, she returns to reignite speculation that she might run for President in 2012. The Nightmare Before Christmas, indeed. More »

Tareq Salahi's Dog Dies, Causing Him To "Lose Two Bitches In One Week"

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 16:45:00 EDT

Ugh. The bad news: Tareq Salahi and suddenly-estranged wife Michaele Salahi (née Michelle Ann Holt, nickname: "Missy") refuse to go away. The good news: They're having a run of bad luck. We would never wish ill upon strangers, but karma is a boomerang, is it not? So when you spew half-truths and lies, get all dolled up and attend a party at the White House to which you were allegedly not invited, and proceed to hog the spotlight and demand attention mostly because you are thin, white, and blonde, you can't expect good things to happen.

Watch Michael Lohan And Kate Major's Relationship Go Down In Flames

Whitney Jefferson — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 19:00:00 EDT

This most recent (and final) season of Celebrity Rehab went off the rails last night. Michael Lohan, father to Lindsay and patient at Casa del Rehab, blew a gasket when a tabloid website published a photo of himself kissing one of the lesser Real Housewives of New Jersey (Kim G.) When his famewhorey girlfriend-slash-drug supplier Kate Major found out, she showed up at the treatment facility — but Celebrity Rehab refused to check her in because she wasn't famous enough. Things got truly ugly when Kate asked, "So why are you with me?" and Michael said, "because you put it in every part of your body." Somehow, we believe her response: "I'm not even attracted to you! you're old, you're ugly, and you're bald." Since she dated Jon Gosselin before Lohan, it seems what she's attracted to are cameras and lights. More »

Tragic Figures Spencer & Heidi Give Tragic Interview About Tragic Lives

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:15:00 EDT

"Obviously I wish I didn't do it," Heidi Montag says in a sad, sad interview with the Daily Beast. "I would go back and not have any surgery. It doesn't help. I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image. I don't regret anything, but if I could go back, I wouldn't do it." Oh really? More »

Bret Easton Ellis Markets Book With Painful Subservient-Woman Game

Lindsay Robertson — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:04:00 EDT

The campaign encourages users to put themselves in the place of a seedy Hollywood producer and virtually harass a young actress on an audition. The most offensive thing about it is how unoriginal it is. More »

Paris Hilton's My New BFF, which premiered on MTV last night, features 18 contestants competing to stand next to the heiress in pictures and whatever else pretending to like her entails. The idea of the show is that Paris used to play with dolls and that now she "plays with people," so the potential BFFs live in "The Dollhouse" and get tortured in various ways. Not surprisingly, some of the contestants are unabashed fame whores, like Natasha, who actually said to someone at a cocktail party, "Google me." We took her up on that! Our findings after the jump.
