Paris Hilton Loves Kevin Federline
On December 30th, 2007 at new year’s party at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas, Kevin Federline allegedly was solicited by Paris Hilton–and turned her down! “Paris whispered some pretty sweet and enticing words in Kevin’s ear. She basically asked him where he was staying and if he wanted to visit her in her own suite,” according to PageSix. Kevin later said, “It will not be so easy to deny her next time.”

It’s cute, but we’re not sure that there needs to be another addition to the Federline line, as he already has four children. We’re hoping this new year’s hookup never happened, but if it did, we know what their mutual new year’s resolutions are going to be!
Top 25 Outrageous Celebrity Riders
If you find ridiculous celebrity riders (those contracts they have to do a show at a place that specify what amenities should be provided for the performer) amusing, you should check out this list, which includes such gems as:

David Hans Schmidt Dead: Tom Cruise’s, Scientology’s Secrets Safe
The man who brought us the Screech (Dustin Diamond), Tonya Harding, and Colin Farrel sex tapes and nude photos of Paula Jones and Jamie Foxx, celebrity scandal purveyor David Hans Schmidt is dead. Most recently, he was in the news after pleading guilty to extort $1 million from Tom Cruise. Apparently had stolen wedding photos of a sensitive nature. According to the National Ledger, he hung himself:
The 47-year-old Schmidt was found in a shower stall at a North 21st street condominium in Phoenix, AZ. “He hung himself, and the shower stall was so small, he had to squat to get the job done.”

Some random facts from nndb:
Born: 27-May-1960
Birthplace: Rochester, MN
Military service: US Army (1978-81)High School: Dover-Eyota High School, Eyota, MN (1978)
University: Rochester Community College, Rochester, MN
University: BA English, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN (1985)
University: Bowling Green State UniversityCharges: Harassment, Violating Probation
It’s possible that he found evidence that Tom Cruise is Gay, in which case the Church of Scientology and Cruise himself would certainly be interested in seeing him never see the light of day again. Who killed David Hans Schmidt? We’ll never know, but a lot of people wanted him dead.

Britney at the VMAs: “Porky Princess”
According to the NY Post (Why Britney Couldn’t Hack It), her VMA performance was beyond the pale, so terrible it defied imagination. They blame it on a lack of professional ethics:
On Saturday, the day before the VMAs, Spears was scheduled to arrive at rehearsal at around 1 p.m. Our spy said, “She didn’t even get to Las Vegas until 4:30 p.m. It was ridiculous . . . The production people at MTV were freaking out . . . Nobody can tell Britney what to do anymore. No one can control her. She is a mess.”
I say that you just need to take a look at her to see she is no longer the bright, young, motivated, sexy pop starlet she was before K-Fed:

We’re hoping her new album is good, but I hear there’s more machine in it than there is Britney…
