After John McCain used footage of her in a campaign ad, Paris Hilton is striking back with an absolutely hilarious video of her own, in which she presents her energy policy and plots an escape to Maui to get a great tan.
So what's that magazine she's consulting? It's the August issue of Conde Nast Traveler. Sorry T+L!
John McCain is using Barack Obama's vacation videos against him! Footage of the crowd waiting for Obama in Berlin where he gave a speech last week opens a new campaign ad, which alleges that Obama is "the biggest celebrity in the world" and... thus... unfit to be president?
We're not sure we follow, but no way would 200,000 people line up for Paris Hilton any more (if they ever would have).
Both candidates will be speaking to much smaller crowds today, as McCain visits Racine, Wisconsin and Obama stops in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Then McCain's off to Panama City, Florida for a benefit concert featuring John Rich of Big'n'Rich. Who's the celeb magnet now?
Virgin America just announced that it'll start selling Karma sparkling wine on flights, just in time to toast to the carrier's first birthday, coming up on August 8. The bevvies are $10 each.
Given how much she supposedly loves the airline, though, we're surprised Paris Hilton didn't get her canned Prosecco on board instead.
It's no secret that the Virgin Group owns a piece of the Asian low cost carrier, but could Paris be involved too? Or maybe she's more interested in AirAsia's cousin, Virgin America? After all, that airline has invited her on its inaugural WiFi flight scheduled for later this year.
We're trying to sort it all out, but in the meantime, we need to get one of those hats. So hot!
For someone who can afford to travel around the world, Paris Hilton remains relatively... unchanged by the trips she has taken. She's on tour with Good Charlotte (and current boyfriend Benji Madden) and got the chance to visit South Africa where they were performing. Later, someone asked Paris what her impressions were of the country, and she said, "South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries."
On your next trip, don't wait to look dumb until you get home. Ask the stupid question right away so you can look enlightened when you come home, even though you're not. It's a lesson lost on Ms. Hilton, but not on us.
Paris Hilton and Benji Madden strolled through LHR Tuesday en route to the Good Charlotte tour in South Africa. With all this traveling we are sure the couple didn't have much time to stop and ogle London's new terminal, but if they did we have a bit of advice for them.
Don't spend too much timing sitting in T5, as the chairs look a bit uncomfortable for long layovers. Instead, spend your time eating and shopping at the terminals many brand spankin' new eateries and shopperies.
The airline set up shop at the Village at the Yard, which is basically a star-friendly gifting lounge. While we were there, Jessica Alba, Method Man, Perez Hilton and Mischa Barton ex Cisco Adler all dropped by to look through the swag.
And while we had other things happening later that night, VA's Charles Ogilvie kept working the party circuit. Turns out Paris Hilton loves WiFi and wants to try out Virgin's new in-flight system when it debuts. She must not have heard that you can IM from one of JetBlue's planes!
No you didn't, Paris Hilton. Didn't your mama ever warn you not to go out in public wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with your name? A stranger could use the information to trick you! Ah well, we suspect that our favorite heiress and former jailbird has probably ignored a lot of sensible advice--fashion and otherwise--from Kathy Hilton over the years.
Paris was snapped departing LAX on Tuesday carrying significantly less luggage than she was during her trip to France in December--but she did have at least as many logos and patterns splashed across her body. Does Louis Vuitton really jive with a loud giraffe print hoodie? Does anything?
We're not sure what it is about air travel that makes even image-conscious celebs like Hilton lose their fashion sensibilities (and their minds, if rumors about Paula Abdul's LAX meltdown can be believed), but in a way we're kind of relieved. If Paris can sport her ghetto-meets-Gymboree fashion disaster in the first-class cabin, surely we can get away with gray sweatpants in coach?
