Jon Hamm Slams Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, General Celebration of Idiocy
He's one of the most talented actors alive, as well as a member of the Saturday Night Live hosting pantheon. In short: Jon Hamm ruled long before he spoke to Great Britain's Elle magazine.
In the latest issue, though, the Mad Men star says exactly what anyone with an IQ over 12 is thinking: why do so many people care about Kim Kardashian and other reality stars?!?
"We're at a place where the idea of being 'elite' is somehow considered a negative," Hamm says. "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f-cking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly... It doesn't make sense to me."
Mad Men premieres season five on March 25. Let's hope Hamm's rant just earned the tremendous show an even bigger following.
Paris Hilton Gets "Drunk Text" On: Listen, ROFL Now!
What do you get when you combine a bored, former A-list socialite with insightful tales of cell phone indiscretion and below-average techno beats?
A song and music video that must be heard/seen to be believed.
We present you with Paris Hilton's "Drunk Text" video - a cringe-worthy attempt to reenter the world of music/rap/spoken word ... who the heck knows, honestly.
The "song" (term used loosely) is a collaboration between Paris Hilton and production duo Manufactured Superstars. It leaked yesterday, and is not a joke apparently.
Watch Hilton wax poetic on the finer points of drunk texting and weigh in below:

Paris Hilton "Drunk Text" Video: Released, Removed From YouTube!
Paris Hilton is back! Or was ... if only for a few hours!
The ho-tel heiress' new single, "Drunk Text," was briefly leaked online today before being yanked off of YouTube within hours. What's it about, you ask?
Heck if we know, but the girl cannot sing. At all.
Not that she even tries, really. Hilton raps/speaks monotonously over the beat... and that's it. The music video was released today, but quickly pulled from YouTube with little explanation other than a violation of a copyright claim by Black Hole Recordings.
Still, the instant classic video was up long enough for some pics to be screen grabbed, and for numerous people who heard it to report on its epicness.
Some choice lyrics: "If you take the word 'sex' and mix it with 'texting,' it's called 'sexting'/When you add drunk sexting, the words just don't make sense."
Toooootally.

Paris Hilton Sets Sights on DJ Career (Really)
With her terrible show axed, Paris Hilton has time on her hands. If nothing else, you have to give the girl credit for always trying to expand her empire.
To that end, she is training to become a DJ, according to TMZ.
Seriously. The ho-tel heiress has been traveling the world to shadow some famous DJs to get some guidance for her upcoming house music album.
Hilton is recording right now with David Guetta, and has become tight with Afrojack and Deadmau5, among other big names in the dance music genre.
Paris fancies herself the "Queen of house music" in training, in part because she loves it, and because "no woman has ever taken over in that arena."
She thinks she can be that girl. Do you?
Try not to laugh, we're seriously asking.

The World According to Paris: Canceled!
In news as stunning as it is devastating, The World According to Paris will not be returning for a second season on Oxygen, New York Magazine reports.
Pour out some of your Appletini for Paris' latest reality show.
According to N.Y. Magazine, Hilton's show earned barely 400,000 viewers in its June debut and sunk even lower in airings for subsequent episodes.
Not even an appearance by THG could salvage the show.
"I wanted the show to be as real as possible," said the 30-year-old Paris, who appeared alongside mom Kathy Hilton, boyfriend Cy Waits and Brooke Mueller.
"There's a lot of things in the show that I'm like, 'Oh my God, I cannot believe I'm going to allow this on television.' Years ago I'd have been like, 'No way.'"
What things does she mean? No one will ever know.
Hilton isn't taking it too hard, though, despite walking off Good Morning America when grilled about her dwindling relevance this summer. She tweeted that she's "loving life," "excited for all of my upcoming projects" and "super busy."
Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan: Totes Friends Again!!
Looks like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have buried the hatchet.
We know. You can all breathe an enormous sigh of sweet relief.
The ho-cialites partied together in Malibu this weekend, with Lohan rolling over to Hilton's beach pad for a small shindig with some of Paris' friends.
Paris' sister Nicky, actress Emma Roberts and Inception star Lukas Haas were among those on hand, with one source at the party saying:
"Everyone was so surprised when Lindsay walked in; we thought they didn’t get along. But they immediately gave each other a big hug."
The crew kicked it on the beach, in Paris' hot tub and had a mini dance party - and not once did anyone see Lohan drink ANY alcohol.
Sources say Paris is "very excited" about her friendship with Lohan, adding that after they rekindled it, "She LOVED seeing her again."
We're glad to hear it and lope it lasts. Now we just need to get Britney Spears back in the mix to fully reunite the 2006 ho train.

Paris Hilton on GMA Walk-Off: I Was Ambushed!
Paris Hilton is PISSED at ABC and correspondent Dan Harris for airing the Good Morning America interview that Paris walked off in disgust, sources say.
The 30-year-old reality TV star up and left with the cameras rolling after Harris deviated from the agreed-upon (and very serious) topic of stalking.
Hilton's camp says she invited GMA and its crew to talk about her stalker, James Rainford, and the recent, scary string of celebrity stalkings overall.
Harris began with stalking questions but then began asking about Kim Kardashian and Paris' declining relevance. Watch the GMA interview below:
"Do you worry that certain people following in your footsteps like Kim Kardashian are overshadowing you?" Harris asked a visibly thrown-off Paris.
"No, not at all," Hilton said. "Do you worry about your moment having passed?" Harris pressed, at which point Hilton audibly scoffed and peaced.
A source says that set Hilton off because just moments prior, Harris had gone on and on about Paris' $1 billion fragrance and merchandise empire.
Paris, to her credit, talked about how she feels strongly about making money so she's self-sufficient. Consequently, she feels used by GMA.
Hilton resumed the interview only after ABC told her they were cutting out the part where she walked away, but (obviously) they did not. T
Paris also feels Harris hammered her for his own publicity.
Paris Hilton Walks Out on Good Morning America Interview
Part of the reason Paris Hilton returned to reality TV in The World According to Paris was to show the world she's all grown up and mature now.
Getting up and walking away during an interview on Good Morning America today when questions got tough didn't exactly project that image.
ABC correspondent Dan Harris asked about her show's abysmal ratings and ho-tel heiress' declining relevance in an ever-saturated sea of reality stars.
Thrown off and visibly annoyed by this perceived affront on her A-list status, Paris shifted in her chair, looked toward her publicist, then peaced.
Hilton never did say if "her moment has passed," as Harris put it, but did return to finish the interview, which also contained these revelations:
- She broke up with Cy Waits after watching The World According to Paris and determining that the chemistry just wasn't there.
- She fakes her airhead persona for the cameras.
