Paris Gets Ready to Star With Pee-Wee Herman

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:30:02 -0800

Paris Hilton put on a bright green dress to party with Benji and friends to celebrate her Nylon cover at Foxtail lounge in West Hollywood last night. Paris recently spoke to Bella about how she is not a party girl as much as she is a businesswoman and now the heiress has another project to add to her list. Paris will be co-starring with Allison Janney and Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) on a new untitled Todd Solondz movie. Not too many details are available but it would be interesting to see Paris thrown into the quirky director's world and who knows, maybe she will surprise us all.

Ashton Talks Family and Politics With DJ AM at MySpace

PopSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:30:00 -0800

Ashton Kutcher was in San Franciso two months ago to announce his new online project, and last night he was back in the city to attend the MySpace 2.0 party. He's teaming up with the company to broadcast his show on MySpaceTV, and he joined their CEO Chris DeWolfe to check out DJ AM and the man who would have been DJ AM's father-in-law, Lionel Richie, at the bash. Chris chatted with geek about his company's plans to get more into music, while Ashton talked about the ways in which his three step-daughters influenced his latest venture and how he felt about the Obama victory he and Demi had campaigned for in Iowa. Here's more:

On how his step-daughters influenced his new project: "I don't think you can help but have your personal influences in some ways get involved. My girls are a lot less gossipy, I think, than the Blah Girls. My girls are a little bit more — they've been in it for a while. When your mom is Demi Moore and your dad's Bruce Willis you tend to be less impressed by. . . Ashton Kutcher."
On Obama's victory: "When he won, we watched a bunch of people rally around hope — and I haven't seen people come around something other than chaos in a long time. In 9/11, everybody rallied around a cause. In the tsunami, rallied around a cause. Katrina, rallied around a cause. And the other night we saw people rally around hope, which I think is a very powerful thing."

Ashton was just one of the many celebrities who threw their weight behind Obama, but he's really paving his own way as a media mogul in training — especially now that he's working on a new reality show with Tyra Banks.

Stars Come Out to See Jay-Z and DJ AM on Stage

PopSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:30:34 -0700

Jay-Z left the Spirit Awards to kick off his tour at the re-opening of the Hollywood Palladium last night. As expected, DJ AM was right there to help work those turntables for his second appearance since the plane crash — which he recently opened up about in an interview and said he "jumped through a fireball" to get out of the burning plane. While the celebrity attendees like Ellen Pompeo and Hayden Panettiere may have missed watching the debate last night, Jay-Z still took the opportunity to talk politics a bit on stage. Between his welcome home party and having lots of friends around to keep company, it looks like DJ AM is happy to be back at work after the tragedy.

Stars and DJs Welcome Home AM

PopSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:30:42 -0700

As expected, stars and celebrity DJs gathered together at Avalon in LA last night to welcome home DJ AM for his first public appearance since his plane crash last month. Mark Ronson, Danny Masterson, and DJ Aoki were just a few who took turns spinning while AM caught up with friends like Hilary Duff and Cisco Adler. Travis Barker sadly couldn't make it to the event since he's still hospitalized, but the proceeds went to the families of the crash victims. We couldn't be happier to see AM healthy and celebrating with his friends while honoring the memory of the other people on the plane. He'll be taking the stage again tonight kicking off Jay-Z's tour.

DJ AM Is Ready to Return to the Stage With Jay-Z

PopSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:30:38 -0700

Jay-Z flashed a big smile as he left Katsuya last night after arriving at LAX. He spent the weekend in London to promote the New Jersey Nets, but apparently Jay's services are too steep these days. He couldn't score a gig at any clubs due to his high appearance fee, even after he lowered his asking price. Even if he's not getting any love overseas, Jay kicks off a stateside tour tomorrow at the Hollywood Palladium and he'll be joined by a very special guest. DJ AM will return to the stage for the first time since his plane crash, and from there will join Jay-Z for some of the dates on the tour.

DJ AM Back in LA Attending Memorial Service for Friend

Molly — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:00:00 -0700

DJ AM was back in LA yesterday on his way to a memorial service for Chris "Lil' Chris" Baker, Travis Barker's personal assistant who died in the plane crash. Baker's wife requested that people wear green, her husband's favorite color, for the service attended by over 300 people. After reports that DJ AM's burns were on his upper body including arms and head, it's reassuring to see how great and strong he looks. Travis is out of the hospital and on his way back to LA by bus. There's a long road of recovery left for both Adam and Travis, but seeing him back on his feet and out to remember his friend is pretty incredible. Our thoughts remain with Travis, DJ AM, and the family and loved ones of the victims of the crash.

Friendly exes Mandy Moore and DJ AM caught up over lunch in LA this past weekend. Even though these two called it quits over a year ago, they seem comfortable as pals since they often meet up for dinners out or at parties. Since DJ AM, Mandy has moved on to a new musical man: her latest flame, indie rocker Ryan Adams. Everyone has an opinion on whether or not it's a good idea to stay friends with an ex, but it looks like Mandy and Adam can do it just fine.

Molly — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 23:25:54 -0800

Paris Hilton took the sequins party dress to a whole new level with a multi-colored homage to herself while hosting the NYE event at LAX in Vegas last night. Next to her Nicky looks downright demure. For the third night in a row, Paris was joined by Kevin Federline when he was done hosting his party down the strip at Tangerine. Also in the house was other famous baby daddy and part of the most shocking story of the year, Larry Birkhead. Meanwhile, Pam Anderson looks a little worse for the wear, but at least is in a better dress than her other yikes-worthy New Year's look. Looks like the Hilton girls have another successful party hosting gig in the books. Happy 2008!

Lohan Spends Her Days Not Being A Train Wreck

Molly — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:30:28 -0800

What does a typical Wednesday look like for Lohan? Lots of shopping and loooots of wardrobe changes to keep the photos interesting for her fawning paparazzi, of course. She looks a little freaky in that skull shirt, no? Yesterday she was spotted whipping out the cash to pay for her purchases at American Rag before stepping it up a notch with a stop off at Hermes. She took a break from shopping for lunch, where she ran into DJ AM, fun fun. With that busy schedule, looks like she didn't have time to brush her hair. It's not all fun and games for LL these days — she is hard at work on her new album after all. With all this good behavior, it's no wonder she got almost no votes (no match for Britney) in our biggest trainwreck of 2007 poll.

Mandy Moore Keeps It Friendly With DJ AM

PopSugar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 09:30:00 -0800

Mandy Moore all draped in animal print had a friendly dinner with her ex DJ AM at Mr. Chow in LA on Thursday night. We've seen these two hanging out post-breakup before so we doubt there's anything romantic happening here. It's nice to see that Adam is still acting as a gentleman and holding the door open even though he looks like he may have had a few drinks with dinner. Gotta wonder if they sat around and reminisced about their good times together, or just straight up gossiped about things like Nicole's baby shower.

Last night the stars came out to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Butter, the Manhattan club that has proved to be a favorite celebrity haunt since it opened its doors. Taye popped over post Glamour Women of the Year party while Heidi and Mandy swung by after picking up their ACE Awards. Jamie Lynn-Sigler was happily out to support her boyfriend Scott Sartiano, one of Butter's owners. Though perhaps she should consult Bella about the best bangs for her face shape. Overall, it looks like plenty of stars wanted to celebrate the club's 5 year anniversary, which means we'll most likely continue to hear about the scandalous moments that happen inside.

PYTs Pick up Flashy New Sidekicks

Molly — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 13:01:08 -0700

Nothing brings out celebrities quite like the lure of a fancy new gadget and last night's launch party for the T-Mobile Sidekick LX was no exception. Nick Cannon was amongst the first in line for the party, which featured the stylings of Steve Aoki and DJ AM along with a performance by Kanye West. Seriously, is there anywhere he won't show up? What's next, his dentist's kid's Bar Mitzvah? Also on the pinkish carpet was Carmen Electra sporting those bangs that are so hot right now (just ask Ty-Ty). Bella wants to know — are you loving or hating Carmen's bangs? Fresh off her audition for the Justice League movie, the gorgeous Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights flashed a smile while her maybe boyfriend John Mayer celebrated 30 in NYC. Fun times.

Paris Parties With NASCAR, Too

Molly — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:37:24 -0700

Rihanna wasn't the only celebrity out indulging her secret love for NASCAR last night, Paris came out in her Easter best (pastel, flowers, you know) to catch the party while DJ AM took a turn behind the tables. Though, only Paris didn't have her turn in the performing spotlight (possibly for the best). Rihanna was obviously having some issues with her injured foot on the red carpet, so it's good to see that she took it easy on stage and performed sitting down. We wouldn't want her to strain it again before her big VMA performance.
