The Weg has suggested that Hilton's alleged refusal to promote the project was directly responsible (more)

How Men vs. Women Vote on Celebrity Bikini Bodies
9 July 2009 4:15 PM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news
On Monday, we kicked off the 2009 PopSugar Bikini Body Bracket to narrow down 64 insanely hot celebrity ladies in swimsuits throughout the month of July and crown one winner. Virtually impossible, I know. For the first two days of the bracket we watched you all vote and the closest margins were Reese Witherspoon vs. Sheryl Crow and Audrina Patridge vs. Katy Perry - those are some tough matchups. We also weren't surprised to see Pop favorites like Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears and Rihanna on their way easily to round two. This morning our friends over at Sports Illustrated Hot Clicks sent over their readers and whoa, just like that everything changed! I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how our predominately female audience was voting versus how the male influx changed the tides. Remember, the voting on round one ends on Saturday at midnight so there's still

I Can't Wait to See 'Marbles: The Movie!"
9 July 2009 1:10 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news
I think the green one with yellow stripes is eye-balling me! Roger Ebert just won't give up on his mission to remind us all how bad Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was. Today he posted a new article headlined "The toys that ate Hollywood," which prognosticates what children's toys Hollywood may snatch up next. He casts them and sets up the scenarios and some of them are absolutely priceless. I'm not sure what I like most about each one, but the inclusion of an exclamation point after each title is a priceless addition letting us all know Ebert is fully aware of just how ridiculous things have gotten in the world of online movie reporting and the Hollywood studio system's attempt to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Take a look at a few of my favorites: Gotcha! At a suburban high school, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton fight each

Paris Hilton Hits Miami For Court, Not Clubs
9 July 2009 11:29 AM, PDT | From icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news
Paris Hilton usually hits Miami in style. She's even staying in the trendy new Fountainebleau Resort. But instead of club appearances this trip, she'll be making court appearances.
Hilton had to take time out from filming the last "My New Bff" series in Dubai for a federal court trial in Miami. She's being sued by the producers of her direct-to-video movie "Pledge This" for failing to promote it, although Hilton says she did promote to the best of her ability.
The 28-year-old had top billing in the movie, a 2006 comedy about a fictional Miami sorority striving to be "America's Hottest Sorority." She was paid million for her role.
The now-defunct Miami entertainment company which produced the film are seeking million from the star. The film only earned about .9 million worldwide.

Hilton To Testify In Breach Of Contract Suit
9 July 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Socialite Paris Hilton will take the stand in a Miami, Florida court on Friday to testify against allegations she failed to adequately promote her 2006 movie flop Pledge This!.
The hotel heiress is being sued for breach of contract by bosses at Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc., who claim she neglected to honour promotion and publicity agreements for the film, insisting she owes investors a massive $8.3 million (£5.5 million).
The movie executives claim Hilton was paid $1 million (£666,670) for her acting services and for "reasonable promotion and publicity" for the film, which featured the socialite/actress as the president of an exclusive sorority.
A judge rejected a motion by Hilton's legal team to dismiss the lawsuit in May and the trial began on Thursday.
Hilton, who maintains she did her best to promote the picture, is expected in court on Friday.
Pledge This! failed to set the box office alight upon its release, garnering just $2.9 million (£1.93 million) worldwide.

On Tuesday, the world seemed to stop to watch the moving, celebrity-filled Michael Jackson tribute held at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The memorial featured performances from some of Jackson's closest friends and colleagues, including Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey and Usher. It also included an incredibly poignant and reportedly unscripted speech from Jackson's 11-year-old daughter, Paris.
Many celebrities who weren't onstage took to their Twitter accounts to react to the memorial. "Michael's children were so brave brave [to] stand there on stage & speak to the world about their father," Kim Kardashian wrote. "I spoke at my dad's funeral & it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I was shaking & crying & what Paris did was sooo soooo brave!"

Stars Reach Out During Jackson Memorial
7 July 2009 2:06 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
A host of celebrities including Jane Fonda, Yoko Ono and Paris Hilton logged on during Michael Jackson's memorial service to express their sadness at his death.
A flurry of messages were posted on social networking site Twitter.com during the emotional service at Los Angeles' Staples Center.
Fonda wrote, "Watching Usher sing to Michael's casket. Tears rolling down my cheeks."
Hilton added, "In tears watching the Mj Memorial Service on TV, so touching. Everyone loves you Michael!"
Nick Cannon even managed to update his website from the ceremony - where his wife Mariah Carey performed Jackson 5 hit I'll Be There - writing, "A day of mourning. Here in the Staples Center, God is absolutely present."
Ono, whose late husband John Lennon was murdered in 1980, added, "Michael Jackson: Rest Well In Peace. We will always remember you and love you for what you were to us. With love."
The artist/musician also posted a separate message on her personal website, expressing her sorrow at his passing: "With his enormous talent, Michael kept giving us power, inspiration and joy. Yet he knew that the world was not kind to him for many reasons, some of it going right back to racism. That must have been so hard for him. His various attempts to be loved by the world equalled the pain he received from it.
"Michael, now you are free from all that. Rest well in Peace. We will always remember you and love you for what you were to us."

Designer Alexander Denied Retrial On Rape Conviction
7 July 2009 9:16 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Celebrity fashion designer and convicted rapist Anand Jon Alexander will face sentencing next month after his bid for a retrial was denied by a Los Angeles judge.
Alexander, who has reportedly designed outfits for Paris Hilton and Mary J. Blige, was found guilty of 16 charges of sexually assaulting seven girls and young women.
During his two-month trial, a California court heard how the Indian-born couturier lured wannabe models as young as 14 to his apartment in Beverly Hills and abused them in a string of attacks between 2001 and 2007.
The 35 year old's attorneys claimed his accusers were attempting to ruin his career, but he was convicted of 16 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of four charges and a further three resulted in a hung jury.
Alexander sought a retrial on the basis of juror misconduct, alleging a juror had improperly contacted his sister.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley has ruled "a new trial will not be granted where there is a misconduct of such a trifling nature".
Alexander told reporters, "This is a total travesty of justice."

The Women of Sorority Row: Caroline D’Amore

Here is part 3 of our The Women of Sorority Row series featuring socialite, Caroline D'Amore, who is most famous for being part of the Lindsay Lohan "fire crotch" incident. She has also modeled, has her own line of swimwear, is sometimes a DJ and has acted in the low budget horror film Ghost Games. D'Amore plays "Maggie" in Sorority Row which hits theaters September 11, 2009. I guess the best way to describe her is a D-list Paris Hilton.
