Paris Hilton Lampooned 'Woman of the Year' At Harvard


Paris Hilton found herself somewhere she never thought she'd be: Harvard.

"Harvard is hot!" the 26-year-old celebrity heiress said Wednesday as she picked up the Harvard Lampoon humor magazine's "Woman of the Year" award in front of the Lampoon castle.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine standing here, standing on the steps of the Harvard Lampoon. It's really exciting and I've had such a great time," said Hilton, who stars as an attractive best friend to an ugly duckling in the film "The Hottie & the Nottie," which opens Friday.

Hilton, who arrived an hour late for the festivities, told the crowd of about 100 people who greeted her that her "Simple Life" co-star Nicole Ritchie was with her, then added: "Just kidding."

The Lampoon award is a spoof of the annual honors given by Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe planned to present its "Woman of the Year" award to Charlize Theron on Thursday. "Man of the Year" Christopher Walken will be honored Feb. 15.

Katherine Heigl And Josh Kelley Robbed


Katherine Heigl has been targeted by yobs who smashed in her car window last night.

The actress and hubby Josh Kelley found the black SUV covered in glass outside their Hollywood home.

Amazingly Josh's 2 guitars were still in the backseat - the only thing that was missing was their Sat Nav.

'They only stole the GPS device that's it,' Josh, 27, told his wife - and waiting paparazzi.

'I've got like guitars and everything in there. The cheapest things they could have possible taken. I guess people who do this are pretty stupid anyway.'

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at Madonna's benefit


Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes looked their usual resplendent self at Madonna's benefit for Raising Malawi and Unicef at the United Nations grounds in New York City on Wednesday night, February 6.

Katie, who is increasingly looked upon as a style icon, seems to be enamored with red color. Last night was at least the fourth occasion in recent times when we have spotted her in either a red dress or a red coat.

Far from growing tired of her color choice we are beginning to get enamored with it. Red never seemed like a great color to us till Katie awakened us to the possibilities.

The combination of her height, youth, sartorial tastes and marriage to Tom Cruise fascinate us.

Lindsay Lohan Need a Father Figure

Lindsay Lohan has blamed her bad behaviour on not having a father figure.

The 21-year-old star - who checked into rehab for the third time last August following two driving under the influence (DUI) arrests and a brief stint in jail - says seeing her father sent to jail caused her a lot of emotional pain.

Lindsay, who did not speak to her dad Michael - a recovering alcoholic - for three years, said: "When I look back on this last year, it's like, what was I thinking? Not seeing my father was really hard for me, and not being with my family enough.

"I wasn't taking any time to just sit and live and breathe. I was going, going, going, and that ran me down. It was a stressor. It upset me. I didn't have a father to call, and that was a lot of the pain."


Michael served two years in prison from 2005 for various probation violations following an arrest for DUI.

50 Cent Makes Paris Hilton Cry

Rap superstar 50 Cent has denied kicking Paris Hilton offstage and reducing her to tears during a pre-Super Bowl concert - insisting he "ain't (sic) that heartless".

Hilton hosted the bash for 944 magazine in Scottsdale, Arizona and was reported to have been deeply upset when the rapper forced her out of the limelight at the party on Thursday (31Jan08).

But the hip-hop star and his band insist the reports are inaccurate - because they would never treat the socialite badly.

DJ Whoo Kid, who was on stage with 50 Cent at the event, tells MTV.com, "It's no way we would kick Paris Hilton off the stage... We ain't (sic) that heartless. I know 50 hates Ja Rule and Fat Joe, but he ain't that heartless to throw Paris Hilton... off the stage.

"Somebody called me and asked me if Paris got kicked off. I was like, 'Huh?' She was dancing the whole time. She was having a good time. We hung with her afterwards. I guess people wanna hear, '50 threw Paris Hilton off the stage.' "

Gisele Bundchen's Naked Run A Rumor

If you were hoping to see a naked Gisele Bündchen running through the streets of New York City – you can keep on wishing!

Reps for Gisele Bündchen, girlfriend of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, set the record straight Tuesday regarding reports that the model said she would streak through New York's Times Square if the Giants beat the Patriots, according to a report in People.

"She didn't say it. This is ridiculous," her rep tells People. "What's wrong with the world?"

Instead, fans of the New York Giants enjoyed a ticker tape parade and a smiling Eli Manning clutching the Super Bowl trophy.
