Though our younger viewers may know her better for her friendship with Kim Kardashian, the spotlight shone brightly on Paris Hilton, especially in the early 2000s. But was she just “famous for being famous”, or is there more to this Paparazzi Princess?
Like her friend Kim, Paris Hilton’s fame was bolstered by the infamy that comes from being the star of a wildly popular
sex tape, 2004’s cleverly-titled 1 Night in Paris. “That’s Hot.” As with Kim Kardashian, questions remain even decades later about whether the video was released intentionally to capitalize on her growing fame. For her part, Paris has since denied consenting to the video’s release and has settled out-of-court for the damage to her image and reputation. Perhaps the grossest thing about the video (bear with me) is that it opens with a title card that says “In memory of 9/11/01… We will never forget.” Seriously.

“I love Sum 41, what we’ve achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits,” vocalist Deryck Whibley said in a statement. “There were so many times we could’ve broken up. For some reason, we kept sticking it out. I’m proud of that. It’s the right time to walk away from it.”

Sum 41 have officially announced their final album, Heaven :x: Hell. The double LP is set to drop on March 29th, and the video for the new single “Rise Up” can be streamed now.
The raucous track sees the pop-punk vets in prime form, as frontman Deryck Whibley dishes out nasally vocal hooks to the song’s pogo-ready rhythm. While Sum 41 have declared the upcoming double album their last, “Rise Up” doesn’t sound like a band running out of steam. Instead, they’re going out on top.
News of the album follows Sum 41’s retirement announcement earlier this year. For Whibley, the 20-track Heaven :x: Hell — which pairs a pop-punk “Heaven” disc with the more heavy metal “Hell” flip-side — felt like a proper conclusion.
“Once I heard the music, I was confident enough to say, ‘This is the record I’d like to go out on,’” Whibley said via a press release.

Sum 41 have unveiled the new single “Landmines,” the Canadian punk band’s first new song in four years. The tune comes as the band plans to disband following the release of a final album and a yet-to-be-announced farewell tour.
“When I wrote ‘Landmines’ I had no intention of writing an old school ‘pop punk’ song,” said frontman Deryck Whibley of the new track. “It just came out really quickly and I knew right away that this song felt special to me.”
While no formal album announcement has been made, it can be assumed that “Landmines” will appear on Sum 41’s final LP. Whibley has previously mentioned that the effort will be a double album titled Heaven :x: Hell, split between pop-punk and metal.

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley was hospitalized Thursday night with pneumonia, according to an Instagram post from his wife, Ariana Cooper Whibley. She wrote that doctors had concerns beyond just the pneumonia.
“The scariest part is that there is a lot of strain on his heart and they are telling us that there is a possibility of heart failure.”
Whibley was hospitalized in 2014 after his liver and kidneys collapsed due to alcohol abuse. Doctors later told the singer one more drink could kill him. His wife referenced that difficult period in her post.
“This is obviously not our first time in a situation like this but it brings back a lot of really difficult memories seeing him back in a hospital bed connected to wires and IVs.
“I know how strong he is because I have witnessed what he has been able to overcome but that doesn’t make it any easier to see.

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has been hospitalized with pneumonia.
Whibley’s wife, Ari, said in a social media post that her husband will spend the next several days in the hospital due to the possibility of heart failure.
“I know how strong he is because I have witnessed what he has been able to overcome but that doesn’t make it any easier to se,” Ari wrote in an Instagram post. I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated but if you could keep him in your heart over the next few days, we could really use it.”
Whibley, 43, was previously hospitalized in 2014 for severe liver and kidney damage due to alcoholism.
Earlier this year, Sum 41 announced their intention to disband following the release of a final album and tour. They recently completed a summer tour alongside The Offspring and Simple Plan.

The Offspring‘s recently wrapped “Let the Bad Times Roll” tour featured support from Sum 41 and Simple Plan — one of the strongest pop-punk tour packages in recent memory.
The trek ended earlier this month, but during the second to last show on September 2nd at the Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York, members of all three bands shared the stage for a surging run through of The Offspring’s ska-tinged number “Why Don’t You Get a Job?”
The epic moment occurred toward the end of the main portion of The Offspring’s headlining set. For the first time on the tour, the band was joined onstage by tourmates Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 and Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan.
The two form a veritable punk-rock triumvirate with The Offspring frontman Dexter Holland, as their voices stack in joyous harmony during the song’s chorus refrain. The pro-shot footage...

One of the benefits of HBO Max's "Harley Quinn" being a comedy is that it can explore familiar characters in unexpected, even biting ways. Bruce Wayne may spend his nights as the heroic Batman, but he's also just as out of touch as any other billionaire ("People pay for housing?"). The Joker is a maniacal super-villain, but after a stint with amnesia, he's also developed a domestic life as a suburban dad ("Lots of dads are serial killers!"). Commissioner Gordon is a nervous wreck and totally dependent on Batman, Nightwing has an inferiority complex thanks to Bruce's distant parenting, and being in the Legion of Doom is like a 9-to-5 job for villains, complete with coffee chats in the break room.
However, these details aren't just random; what makes them funny is how they're authentically rooted in the characters' personalities. In an interview with /Film's Ben Pearson, "Harley Quinn" co-creators...

Look around and you’ll see, the Noughties are back. The eyebrow piercings. The cargo shorts. The frosted tips. Is that the familiar scent of ammonia from Manic Panic hair dye in the air? There are few musical genres as emblematic of that time as pop-punk, and fewer bands embody its insouciance as effectively as Sum 41. “It was always about having fun for us,” says frontman Deryck Whibley. “Everything was done for the fun of it.”
Twenty-one years later and little has changed – on stage, at least. Tonight, as the band close their world tour with a sold-out show at Alexandra Palace, having fun is all that’s on anyone’s mind.

Deryck Whibley made Sum 41’s upcoming album, Heaven and Hell, almost by accident.
It was the height of the pandemic and Whibley wasn’t really feeling inspired. And, for the first time, he was “just trying to relax,” he tells Rolling Stone. Mostly, he was focused on his other gig outside of his band: being a first-time dad.
With a firm lockdown in place, the only way for Whibley and his wife Ari to get out of the house was to put their newborn in a car seat and drive around L.

Avril Lavigne seems to have taken a page out of Rihanna's playbook, because the skater girl has gotten herself a billionaire. According to E! News, the 33-year-old singer has been quietly dating Phillip Sarofim, who is the son of Texas billionaire Fayez Sarofim. A source told the publication that Avril and Phillip met through mutual friends at a dinner party and have been seeing each other for about two to three months.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger have sparked reconciliation rumours.
The couple announced their separation in September 2015 after two years of marriage.
However, they certainly looked cosy as they arrived at Clive Davis and The Recording Academy's 2016 Pre-Grammy Gala on Sunday night (14Feb16) arm in arm. Avril also furthered the speculation by posting several pictures of herself and Chad on her Instagram page.
"Grammy Party ..... Feeling great. Lovely night," she captioned one snap.
Neither Avril nor Chad wore their wedding rings though, so it could be that they are just very friendly exes as they have also been working on music together since their split.
Sk8er Boi singer Avril took to Instagram to reveal her split from Nickelback rocker Chad back in September.
