HMMMM … it appears that congratulations are in order for newlyweds Paris Hilton and British TV personality Piers Morgan because the pair got MARRIED in Las Vegas, NV this week!! Don’t believe me? Here are the photos:

Surely a wedding ceremony this elaborate couldn’t be a joke … right? Well, actually … it was. Morgan, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, was filming a bit for an upcoming TV special which will air in the UK on Sunday and decided it would be funny to stage a fake wedding ceremony to Paris Hilton (of all people). I guess all the strippers who he asked first turned him down. HMMMM:

He may be a happily engaged man, but that didn’t stop Piers Morgan eloping to Vegas to ‘marry’ a blonde 16 years his junior. And his bride? The socialite hotel heiress Paris Hilton. In typical Vegas style, Mr Morgan, who announced his engagement to writer Celia Walden only two weeks ago, got ‘hitched’ under the watchful eyes of an Elvis impersonator, a Marilyn Monroe lookalike and several Rat Pack mimics. Mr Morgan, 44, joked of his ‘Sin City’ wedding: ‘You know what it’s like – you have a few drinks, spend too long on the blackjack table, get over-excited and decide to do something silly. ‘I have to say, Paris scrubbed up to be a beautiful bride. It was magical.’ However, given The Mail on Sunday columnist’s reputation for self-promotion, it will come as little surprise to discover that the wedding was staged for his forthcoming ITV1 show. Although the 15-minute service at the Little Church of the West was not official, there were times when the Britain’s Got Talent judge feared it may have gone too far. ‘Well, I don’t think I signed anything, so I’m pretty sure it’s not actually legal,’ he said. ‘Having said that, we did go through all the vows, so I can’t be entirely sure.’ Miss Hilton, 28, wore an Enzoani ivory dress for the ceremony, and was given a diamond-encrusted ring by Mr Morgan. They met in a hotel room beforehand and chatted on the bed for the ITV show Piers Morgan On…Las Vegas, which airs on Saturday. Miss Hilton said: ‘You can do anything here, it’s crazy. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!’ In real life, Mr Morgan proposed to Ms Walden, the daughter of former Tory MP George Walden, earlier this month, during a romantic stay in Paris. But Ms Walden took the Vegas wedding in her stride. ‘When I told her the news, she just shrugged her shoulders sadly and said, “How can I ever compete with Paris Hilton?”,’ Mr Morgan said.

Awww, don’t sell yourself short, sweetie … Paris Hilton really isn’t all that. While I have no idea who this Piers Morgan person is, I can’t say that I blame him for getting Hilton in on his gag. Hasty Vegas weddings are notoriously tragic and I cannot think of a more tragic scenario then gettin’ legally wed to Paris Hilton. But, ya know, considering how well Paris and current beau Doug Reinhardt have been doing in the past year or so, it might not be too long before we hear wedding bells for Pug Dilton … what a gloriously tragic day that would be.

Another day, another reason to call the cops on Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt who, according to TMZ, got into a very public and loud altercation in the wee hours earlier today after the couple stepped out last night to promote Paris‘s line of “beauty” products. Apparently a night of pimping out hair weaves and brushes led the couple to a situation where they had to scream and, reportedly, push one another in front of her house … which, of course, meant the cops had to be called to check out the situation:

Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt got into an epic fight early this morning … so much so the LAPD responded to a call — “Drunk people arguing” — this, according to law enforcement sources. It happened a few hours ago in the Hollywood Hills. An eyewitness tells us he saw Paris in her driveway and Doug getting in his car, when Paris began screaming, “Don’t go, don’t go!” The eyewitness tells us Doug got out of the car and the lovebirds began “shoving each other.” The last the eyewitness saw Paris and Doug go back up the driveway. According to law enforcement, cops spoke to Paris and left.

HMMM … if memory serves, this is something like the fourth time that Pug Dilton got into some sort of argument that involved physical contact between the feuding parties. Just a couple of weeks ago, it was reported that Doug tried to choke Paris but the incident was laughed off as they were “only joking” and were seen making out in public the next day to try and brush the incident under the rug. As much as I think that Paris and Doug are the perfect kind of people for one another, I have a horrible feeling that their relationship is unhealthy (to say the least) and possibly dangerous (at the very worst). My guess is that nothing will come of this latest incident … my hope is that these altercations do not escalate into something worse.

Yesterday we read a report from the New York Post that insisted that Paris Hilton and her beau Doug Reinhardt got into a drunken tussle on Hallowe’en night that resulted in Doug choking Paris … well, either reports of their scuffle were greatly exaggerated or the drunken couple sobered up and forgot all about their tiff because Pug Dilton were spotted together on the streets of LA last night lookin’ as in love as they ever were:

Yes folks, Pug Dilton were back to their grossly inappropriate ways as they stepped out for dinner at Boa in West Hollywood, CA last night … clearly it’s a short trip from alleged choking to confirmed spit swapping. While I sincerely hope that no violent physicality transpires between these two, I guess only they know if they are truly made for one another. They seem well suited for one another … I say, let them have each other.

Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt, who were in attendance at Heidi Klum‘s annual Hallowe’en Costume Party on Saturday night, reportedly got into a drunken scuffle with one another in the wee hours of the night … which resulted in scary-looking choking tussle. Here is a photo of Pug Dilton gettin’ very physical with one another (as you can see, Doug‘s hands are clearly around Paris‘s neck) and a report from the New York Post which explains what the eff was going on:

Fright Night turned really scary for Paris Hilton. The party-hearty heirhead and her boyfriend du jour, Doug Reinhardt, were spotted in an apparent boozy grapple early yesterday — with him reaching from the back of their limo to put his hand around her throat in a move that stunned even jaded Sunset Boulevard denizens. “She was mad,” said lensman Ramon Alves. “She jumped in the front seat and [Doug] was holding her around the neck saying, ‘Relax, relax.’ ” Hilton, 28, and Reinhardt, 24, started out Halloween night sporting goofy, matching tooth-fairy outfits at a bash thrown by “Project Runway” glamour girl Heidi Klum and her singer-husband, Seal, in West Hollywood. The pair then took off in a limo to The Roosevelt hotel in Hollywood for another round of partying. At around 3:30 a.m., Paris & Co. left the Roosevelt, pouring into their limo for the ride home. “You could see them chugging from a bottle inside the car,” said another witness. But the action was just getting started. At the corner of La Brea and Sunset Boulevard, the reality star’s cellphone was launched out the window. The limo came to an abrupt stop, and a tipsy Paris stumbled out, peering up and down the street to find her phone as traffic — and pedestrians — came to a halt. “She was staggering down the street, up and down,” the second witness said. Failing to find her phone — it was later located and returned by a paparazzo — Hilton climbed back into the limo and began ranting at Reinhardt for throwing it out the window, the witness said. She also started slapping and kicking as he grabbed her and tried to fend her off. His left hand had a firm grip on her throat, according to the witness. “And the guy they were with was trying to block anyone from taking pictures,” the witness said. “It got very physical. The limo driver was horrified!” The incident was witnessed by several photographers … A call to a Hilton spokeswoman was not immediately answered. No police report was filed on the couple’s Halloween incident.

This is not the first time we’ve heard of Doug getting physically violent with Paris. As you may recall, Pug Dilton reportedly got into a physical fight which resulted in tears from Paris and sparked the couple’s break-up shortly thereafter. Just a few weeks after that incident, tho, Paris got back together with Doug and all was right with the world again. Now we not only hear that Doug put his hands on Paris, we SEE what looks like photographic evidence. My guess is that Paris will prolly downplay the whole incident and say the couple were just joking around … but it is my sincere wish that if Doug Reinhardt really does get physically violent with her that she dump his ass immediately. Paris Hilton may not be my fave person in the world but I would never, ever want her or anyone else to endure this type of treatment from anyone. Again, we don’t know for sure what exactly happened … so it’s really going to have to be up to Hilton herself to determine what sort of treatment she is willing to endure from the man in her life.

Heidi Klum stepped out last night for her first public appearance since giving birth two weeks ago to her fourth child Lou. As a HUGE fan of Hallowe’en, Klum decided that her 10th Annual Hallowe’en Costume Party would be the event to bring her back out onto the red carpet. Here are a few photos of Heidi with hubby Seal dressed as creepy crows along with some of the celeb guests who came out for her big party last night:

I understand that Heidi has been planning this year’s costume since July … she made quite a scary-looking bird. The SKYY Vodka sponsored event was held at Voyeur in West Hollywood, CA and managed to inspire Eliza Dushku and beau Rick Fox to dress up as vampire/zombie versions of Bonnie & Clyde … the affair also inspired Paris Hilton and beau Doug Reinhardt to dress up as a swan and the Tooth Fairy respectively … and inspired Rachel Zoe to dress up as her usual scary self …. EEEEEERIE!! As far as Hallowe’en parties go, it’s tough to outdo Heidi Klum‘s annual affair … it looks like it was a grand time, indeed.

Last night Michael Jackson’s This Is It, the much-anticipated documentary/concert film which chronicled the final months of MJ‘s life as he rehearsed for his This Is It concerts scheduled to take place in London last Summer, held a glitzy Hollywood premiere at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles, CA last night. Other premieres were held for the film all around the world at about the same time and screenings of the film were also coordinated to take place simultaneously. Here are a few photos of some of the celebs who attended the LA premiere last night along with a very positive review of the film:

Watching “Michael Jackson’s This Is It” will have fans grieving once again, but this time, it won’t only be for the fallen King of Pop, but for what we lost — a brilliant entertainer who gave every inch of his body and soul for what might have been one of the most spectacular comebacks of all time. Jackson never got to complete that comeback, dying days before his London concerts were to begin in July, but “This Is It,” culled from hundreds of hours of rehearsal footage for those shows, does it for him. Even though it’s been well edited, the amazing performances Jackson delivers in this film are not a result of camera magic, but Jackson’s own. When Jackson announced his “This Is It” concerts earlier this year, many wondered whether Jackson had any magic left at all. Besides his tattered reputation, he was rumored to be in frail health and hadn’t performed a major concert in almost a decade. There were well-deserved skepticism about whether Jackson had the vocal and physical agility to stage the kind of concerts that wowed fans in his prime two decades earlier. “This is It” gives both answers an emphatic yes. Even though Jackson’s looks — with his weirdly delicate face and his stick-thin frame — still makes one squirm with discomfort, once he starts to perform, that discomfort gives way to amazement. At 50, Jackson was still an amazingly gifted dancer with moves that leave your mouth agape. Though we only see him do the moonwalk once, and just fleetingly, his stop-on-a-dime spins, deft footwork and body jerks recall the Jackson the world fell in love with 25 years earlier with “Thriller.” And Jackson’s voice still dazzles — even when he’s trying to play it down. “I’m trying to conserve my voice,” Jackson says at one point — then delivers a vocal that is spine-tingling — and these are just run-throughs, not the actual show. Fans never get to see what would have been the “This Is It” concert — full dress rehearsals weren’t due to happen until the show went overseas for final rehearsals. Instead, the movie takes from segments of taped rehearsals, and also weaves in film segments Jackson planned for the concert to give at the very least an idea of how the concert might have looked. A graveyard scene meant to be in 3D was planned for Jackson’s performance of “Thriller,” and a computer-animated dancing army would have accompanied Jackson on screen for a militaristic version “They Don’t Care About Us.” Jackson kept much of the same moves from his classic “They Way You Make Me Feel” video — including the floor humping — as well as the groundbreaking choreography from his “Beat It” clip. But whether it was through new visuals and different musical arrangements, he appeared to be breathing new life into his well-worn catalog, promising fans a show that would have taken Jackson and his fans to new heights. Jackson is gentle but authoritative as he demands perfection from his crew, whether it’s gently taking the audio crew to task for making his earpiece too loud or attempting to elicit a grand performance from his young star guitarist. “This is your time to shine,” he says in that famously soft soprano voice before delivering a high wail and challenging her to do the same on her guitar. The film doesn’t give viewers much insight into Jackson outside of performance mode — we only see him rehearsing or hear him talking about music, or the meaning of his songs. Yet the film does give a glimpses into Jackson’s personality — alternatively playful and shy, firm yet understanding, often saying phrases like “with love” after giving a command. The film also splices together different performances of the same song at times, leaving one to wonder why. Is it for a visual effect? Or did he not complete enough in one take? Thankfully, there appears to be enough full takes so one’s mind does not play into conspiracy theories. There were certainly critics of “This Is It” before its release — those who wondered whether it would be an exploitative flick, a quick attempt to cash in on his newfound popularity, and those who felt the preparations for the concert contributed to his death. But “This Is It” is a beautifully made, loving tribute that gives Michael Jackson what he so desperately wanted — affirmation that he indeed was the greatest entertainer of our time.

Some friends and I got to see the film last night and I’ll post my review of the film a little later on. Last night’s LA premiere was a who’s who of the Hollywood glitterati and members of the Jackson family who can’t seem to shy away from the spotlight. I understand that Paula Abdul referred to the Jacksons as “the Johnsons” and Jermaine Jackson brought a change of clothes so that he could wear two outfits for the premiere. Both of those strange occurrences are not connected, I just thought I’d share. I’m sure many of y’all saw the film last night as well or are planning to see it during it’s limited 2 week theatrical engagement. I’m very curious to hear what others thought … was this the film that the world has been waiting for?

Hello Kitty, the cute little animated white cat who stands three apples tall and wears a big red bow, is celebrating her 35th anniversary this year and is being honored here in SoCal with an art exhibit titled Three Apples which features artwork and special edition products emblazoned with Hello Kitty‘s likeness on them. The exhibit hosted a red carpet event on Thursday night and here are a few photos of some of the celebs who came out to celebrate Hello Kitty along with the press release announcement for the event:

It’s Hello Kitty’s 35th Anniversary and SANRIO is celebrating in a big way. In addition to launching a variety of special, limited edition products, SANRIO will introduce Three Apples, a multi-dimensional exhibition and celebration of all things Hello Kitty running from October 23 to November 15 at Royal/T in Culver City, CA. Royal/T is the visually stunning and playful, 10,000 square foot Japanese-inspired art exhibition space, retail store and “cosplay” maid cafe, located within the city’s vibrant arts community. This is the first time that SANRIO has produced an event for the Hello Kitty fans in North America. The exhibition as well as all events will be open to the public free of charge and will offer something for all Hello Kitty fans, no matter their age. Three Apples — so named as a nod to Hello Kitty’s weight as listed in her official bio – features an unprecedented lineup of over 80 celebrated artists, who’ve been invited to interpret their creative vision of Hello Kitty in unique, original works that will be on display and for sale. The art exhibition at Three Apples will be curated by Jamie Rivadeneira, owner of JapanLA, a Los Angeles boutique that specializes in “cute” Japanese and American products. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork will benefit L.A. Works, a volunteer action center that creates and implements hands-on community service projects throughout the greater Los Angeles area … Limited edition prints of selected artwork will be released at special events during Three Apples. For continually updated information regarding Three Apples exhibit and the events, please visit www.sanrio.com/threeapples.

It’s clear that Hello Kitty appeals, on some level, to a lot of different people … including rockers like Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. I gotta admit, even I have a soft spot in my heart for the cute little kitty. It’s crazy to think that Hello Kitty is 35 years old … cuz she still looks as young as ever. It’s gotta be botox. In any event, I hope y’all will join me in wishing Hello Kitty a happy 35th and if you’re in the neighborhood, make sure you check out this Three Apples exhibit … it looks like the perfect place to get your cute overload fix.

Paris Hilton was on hand to host an event called Carnival at Bowlmor Lanes in NYC, NY last night and she was spotted gettin’ up-close and personal with a new dude … some poor, unsuspecting chap — I mean, chimp — named Bentley … behold:

From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like Bentley (who is, like, the cutest little chimpanzee I ever did see) was too happy about having to get smooched by Paris Hilton. So … do you wanna call the ASPCA or should I?

Shocking Paris Hilton news to pass along today … the overexposed heiress was spotted shopping in SoCal for something so surprisingly out of character that the mere sight of her latest shopping excursion left me slack-jawed and stunned. Paris Hilton was caught shopping … at a book store!

What’s even more shocking is that Paris went shopping at one of the best book stores in LA — Book Soup on Sunset Blvd. At first, Paris was seen perusing a book titled The 48 Laws of Power … here is a book description:

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention–grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), the virtue of stealth (“Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions”), and many demand the total absence of mercy (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”), but like it or not, all have applications in real life. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded–or been victimized by–power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

But once Paris discovered that there were NO PICTURES in this book, she decided to pick up a pretty and oversized photo book instead … then she sped away in her fugly ass pink Bentley. The thought of Paris Hilton actually reading a book — any book — just hurts my head. Paris Hilton may be famous for doing very outrageous things … but this has to take the cake.

It’s been about a hot minute since last we checked in on Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt who miraculously got back together earlier this Summer after breaking up after a spat a SoCal nightclub in the Spring. When last we saw Pug Dilton here on the blog, they were quietly vacationing in the tropics and have, also miraculously, been keeping a semi-low profile. BUT, Pug Dilton surfaced publicly this weekend in Venice, Italy to make an appearance on the red carpet at the 66th Annual Venice International Film Festival for the premiere of The Bad Lieutenant … behold:

From what I understand, Pug Dilton were only in Venice for a short while … they did some sightseeing and then attended this premiere and are now on their way back home to LA. It’s curious that they would fly all the way to Venice for just one premiere, particularly since a cursory check at IMDB shows that Paris has nothing at all to do with the film. No matter, I’m just happy to see that Pug Dilton are still happily attached to one another … which means the world is safe for every one else who will be spared from either Paris or Doug‘s communicable love.
