Thanksgiving with Indiana Jones and "The Hills"

Did you let your small cousin pull the wishbone this Thanksgiving, or help Dad set the table? Some stars also gave in to that altruistic holiday impulse over the weekend. While Britney Spears went shopping, "Hairspray" star Nikki Blonsky performed at New York's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; while Paris Hilton went on an MTV junket to China, Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa headed up a crack team of stars willing to give up their Thanksgiving to serve the homeless.

While Kirk Douglas reminisced about Olde Hollywood with the mayor, Harrison Ford and wife Calista Flockhart put their rubber gloves on, and Spencer Pratt of "The Hills" dished up some succotash. Man, these stars are cooler than that one weird couple who always shows up at our Thanksgiving dinners!

FroYo Travel: Paris Digs Into Yogen Fruz

Hope you bought travel insurance, Paris. The Hilton heiress won't be off to Rwanda as planned because the organization that sponsored the junket is "restructuring". We're not sure what that means, but for now Paris won't be flying to Central Africa.

Instead of fretting about her trip plans, Paris indulged in a little Yogen Fruz in Toronto. It's sort of Canada's answer to Pinkberry, and though there are locations in 20 countries, they don't have any stores in Rwanda. (We checked.) If you're ready to jump on the bandwagon, Paris enjoyed a raspberry mango no-fat with fruity pebbles on top.

Protect Africa From Paris!

George Clooney went to the Sudan. Angelina Jolie went to Cambodia. Now Paris Hilton is set to become the umpteenth celebrity to make a humanitarian trip--and, predictably, hers will be filmed. Paris is traveling to clinics and schools in Rwanda with Playing for Good, an organization that holds fundraising summits to benefit children's charities.

Don't get us wrong, it's great when people who are famous (for whatever reason) use that to draw attention to conflicts that might otherwise go under the radar. Still, this smells like "unhelpful publicity stunt" to us. Simple Life: Central Africa? We're not sold on it.

Paris Hilton Off To Jail

The biggest news of the weekend/year/century (depending on just how addicted you are to celebrity gossip) was that Paris Hilton is headed to the slammer. Paris was sentenced to 45 days at a women's facility in Lynwood, CA, but the exact amount of time she'll end up serving remains to be seen, as area jails are severely overcrowded.

You'd think it's the ultimate in schadenfreude, but Paris' sentence will probably bring her more publicity, photo ops, and ultimately, money, than anything else. One of the worst parts of this whole thing is that the jail cells at Century Regional Detention Facility remind us a bit of hostel rooms from our past. If Ms. Hilton is truly enterprising, she will pick up where sis Nicky crashed and burned, take on Tony Fernandes in the hot budget hotel market, and work on a chain of no-frills hotels inspired by her time served.

See Paris Hilton's Autopsy Now, Save Vacation Time Later

Think your teenage daughter's going a little wild? Scare her BUT GOOD with a trip to an art gallery -- specifically, the Capla Kesting gallery. The gallery is currently showing a life-size statue of Paris Hilton on an autopsy table to demonstrate the dangers of underage drinking and driving under the influence, according to TMZ. Your kid can even win a prize for writing Ms. Hilton's obituary!

While Live Paris is expected to face a judge in LA this week to answer to parole violations related to last year's DUI, Clay Paris has passed and had her internal organs spread out to demonstrate the havoc her lifestyle of Belvedere in Vegas, Oktoberfest in Munich and getting banned from the Rose Bar in New York has wreaked on her health.

Creator Daniel Edwards (previously responsible for works depicting a topless Hillary Rodham Clinton and Britney Spears giving birth) even included Tinkerbell and -- spoiler alert! -- dead twin fetuses. That's right, in Edwards' future the world will apparently be saved from the horrors of Paris' twin daughters, Heiress and Upskirt.

Vienna to Fight Junkies With Opera

Vienna's famous as one of the opera capitals of the world, right? Recently it seems like nobody likes it. After Paris Hilton fiddled with her cell phone and yawned her way through the recent Vienna Opera Ball, opera's about to get another bashing when it's used at the Karlsplatz subway station to get rid of junkies and drunks.

After numerous attempts by police to crack down on loiterers in the underground area, the local council has one last idea:

We will be playing classical music, and broadcasting opera on specially installed TV screens. These sort of people are not known for their love of opera and classical music, and we believe they will not hang around. Those that do might find that civilised music encourages civilized behaviour.

It didn't work for Paris, but maybe it'll be easier to get civilized behavior out of Viennese junkies.

Paris Hilton's Kosher Meat Party

While serious Hollywood actors and actresses were getting their beauty sleep the night before the Oscars, Paris Hilton was throwing herself another birthday party at the Prime Grill on Rodeo Drive. This new Western outpost of the Manhattan steak house has already set the table for stars like Carmen Electra and Colin Farrell, says the New York Post, but that's nothing compared to the Saturday soiree, where Hilton pal Brandon Davis, the oil heir (and famous Lindsay Lohan basher), showed up to pick on Paula Abdul and proposition Courtney Love in front of daughter Frances Bean. Apparently Paris forgave him, though; he was allowed into her house later that night where the party continued.

We're pretty sure Paris didn't pick the Prime Grill in accordance with Talmudic law, but is the food any good? After all, its owner told the Jewish Journal, "We don't want people to think of us as a kosher restaurant that happens to be superb. We want them to think of us as a superb restaurant that happens to be kosher." The L.A. Times describes it as a place that doesn't take many risks with its offerings, but which has superb steaks -- "that and the joyous spirit of the place." That must have been what attracted Ms. Hilton & Co. But a Calendarlive.com review describes a 90-minute post-Shabbat wait and an oblivious hostess. Let the diner beware!

Paris Hilton and Stavros Meet Up in Miami

Hot off of her weekend in Las Vegas with Britney, Paris Hilton hopped a (no doubt, private) jet to Miami to meet up with former boy toy Stavros Niarchos this weekend.

The two reportedly rocked out to "Mony Mony" at Ink in South Beach on Friday, after meeting up with sis Nicky and Brandon Davis. Paris even went all out with a lap dance for Stavros. The gang then headed to Mokai, where Paris (apparently barefoot by this point) and her man got in a fight around 3:15 a.m., when he wanted to leave, and of course she didn't.

We have to give it to the girl, it's amazing she never needs even one recuperative night in.

Brit Goes Paris-Free, If Only For a Night

Mother-of-two Britney Spears made an appearance at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood last night, as reported by TMZ. Her new BFF Paris Hilton was nowhere to be seen. Britney was instead spotted hanging out with oil heir/oil head Brandon Davis.

The Roosevelt is popular among celebs who need a good base for their drunken tirades. Lindsay Lohan has been videotaped outside the hotel calling Paris Hilton a "cunt," but the two are now back to being buddies. A full-on power trio including Britney seems imminent, though if Brit really is buddies with Brandon, it could put Lindsay off.

Brit's more likely to check into the Beverly Hills Hotel than the Roosevelt for an overnight stay, but the latter is her party destination of choice. It's also rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, whose shadow can reportedly be seen in a mirror next to one of the hotel's elevators. Ghosts or no ghosts, we think the recent string of exposing Britney pictures (Google it, that's as far as we're going) is infinitely more haunting...and gross.

Update:
Ok, y'all are coming here for the Britney kitty photos. We tried to protect you, but you won't take no for an answer, so here you go. Don't blame us when you need therapy.

Nicky Hilton Hotel Design Scandal

We can't believe it either, but apparently Nicky Hilton didn't really design her Nicky O signature brand of hotels. Much like her sister Paris is not really an heiress to millions upon millions, Nicky is not really an interior design expert.

HotelChatter has been keeping you informed on the latest in Nicky O Hotel Hell, and their latest installment is to die for: an exclusive scoop about the real level of Nicky's involvement and a business deal gone bad. Head on over for the juiciest of juicy details.

Paris Confused Over Her Namesake

Paris Hilton's back--to reassert her idiocy as a world traveler.  Popsugar reports the Ms. Hilton signed up to shill for a line of new "eco-friendly" bags. For every bag purchased, the company plants a tree in a needy area.

The company turned to Paris, in hopes she would accompany them on a trip to Port-Au-Prince to plant 40,000 trees next month. Apparently, when Paris was told about the trip, "she had no idea where Haiti was." Well, of course, there are poor people there (gasp!). When told the country is primarily French speakers, Paris replied with, "I wouldn't mind spending a few days there and a weekend in Paris."

No word on whether our favorite clueless heiress is still hawking for the line or not.

Paris Hilton Makes the Scene at Oktoberfest

Vast quantities of beer? Check. Lots of drunken boys? Check. All in a day's travels for Paris Hilton. The infamous heiress has resurfaced in Munich, screaming "Vilkommen," enthusiastically becuase she is prepared for Oktoberfest. Paris told reporters, "Munich is one of the coolest cities," and proudly arrived at the festivities in traditional Dirndl clothing, just a few sizes too small. What, Munich's not even worthy of a "that's hot"?

Paris is traveling with bajillionaire friend Kim Kardashian, who was also decked out for the drink-fest.  P-Slutty is in town to promo her new canned sparkling wine, "Rich Prosecco," and is ever-so-onveniently working in a few days at Oktoberfest. Enough time to dress up, get drunk, and score we assume.
