Paris Hilton on Letterman Thursday night was funny. And I don’t mean she was, I mean the segment was - because Letterman is a master of making fun of her without her hardly even noticing.

On the show, she probably scared her boyfriend half to death when she basically said she wants to marry him (unless ‘forever’ means something else to celebrities). She also basically admitted that her show is a fraud. She said it isn’t really to find her a best friend, since she already has one. Still, the aim of the show, as promoted, is to find her a best friend. Oh, you wacky Paris! I suppose the title of the show means that Paris will be THEIR BFF, and not that they’ll be Paris’ - tricky, TRICKY.

Why do you think this picture of Paris Hilton is weird? Are you trying to tell me you don’t chill out in your pad, drinking champagne in a can like this? How can you live with yourself?

My favorite part was when they were talking about the lame Ken Paves/Jessica Simpson hair extensions knockoff (which is equally, if not more, lame - how can I decide which is worse?).

David: Are they expensive?

Paris: No, they’re just $79.00

And she was totally serious. To her, that’s nothing. But seriously, know your target audience! It’s tweens and teens, who are going to beg their parents for this product, and it will only be later that the little tweens realize that what they’ve got attached to their head is something like a dead rat.

As a responsible citizen I need to tell you that Paris’ has her song playing on the site. So please visit it at your own risk: dreamcatchers.com

Paris Hilton is 99% more moron than I can handle.

May 2nd’s episode of Ghost Whisperer, “Deadbeat Dads”, had me looking quizzically at the TV. And believe me, this show isn’t one that often inspires much thought. Nikki Cox (Las Vegas) played Nina Hayley, a manipulative ex-flame of Professor Payne’s (Jay Mohr). Nikki looked different, and there was a clear reason why: her lips. It’s sad when people’s mistakes get captured on TV. She must have injected them with a half lb of something because they looked ridiculously inflated. As they said on Reading Rainbow, you don’t have to take my word for it.

Another two pictures after the jump. This includes a picture for you to compare and contrast.

The quirky and always lovable Kristen Bell is in Women’s Health Magazine for May 2008. I am crazy-happy to hear that she’s in constant contact and good friends with Veronica Mars alum Ryan Hansen (and his wife). I never even had a fleeting fangirl moment of Veronica/Dick shipping, but maybe if you were that will make you happy. I know Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls, Veronica’s big love on the show) is married, but I wish we could hear about them still being friends and hanging out. Maybe that would happen if they were on the same network, but Dohring is on Moonlight with CBS, while Bell is on Heroes for NBC. Alas!

In the Women’s Health interview, Bell describes herself as a homebody. (Woo, let’s hear it for those of us who’d rather watch a movie at home with friends instead of hanging out at a migraine-inducing bar all night!) As a homebody, she certainly has fun, though. She lives in a house with four of her friends, and they use one of the rooms as the ‘dance-party room’ and slide around in it in their socks. I’d so be up for that. My kitten, Frida, loves to do her own variation of that. I open up the Diet Coke boxes I have and she sort of slides through them with a running start, which sends her and the box swooshing across the kitchen floor. It’s a good time for all.

On the health front, what can we do to mimic Bells’ routine? She said she always takes the stairs - no matter what. And she does yoga. Both of those sounds doable. But then you hear that she “trains twice a week to build muscle.” And that doesn’t sound fun at all. I don’t know. Maybe it depends on what music she’s listening to. Can’t we all just jump on trampolines and sing karaoke?

As many know, Bell does the voiceovers on Gossip Girl. She plays the anonymous voice of the person who writes a scandal-filled blog about everyone. When asked what it was like to be this voice, i.e. “cattiness incarnate” - Bell said, “I channel the voice that everybody’s had in her head since grade school. … You’re worried that someone is thinking something bad about you, so you think it about them first.” Sure, I might have that voice in my head, but it’s always had a Scottish accent - what’s THAT about? Why does Ewan McGregor hate me!?

While the twenty minute song is (mostly) more Sarah McLachlan than angry Alanis Morisette or Fiona Apple, I really enjoy the song on the website TedMosbyIsaJerk.com. When we heard the name of the URL on How I Met Your Mother I went to the site like the rabid fan I am, but it kept giving me an error. An error? No way. I knew the show wouldn’t pass up this opportunity for awesomeness, so when my friend Kerstin linked me later, I was so happy to see it was there!

The site has a pretty simple layout but the content is precious. It has some illustrations (which are really pretty well done) of fates that would be too good for the jerk.

Kate on TVFilter.com also loves the site, and she’s written out the letter that Barney, I mean - Ted, left for the girl explaining that he’s a ghost. He of course forgot her name so he refers to her as the ‘Resident‘ - but he’s sweet enough to capitalize the word! Well, the letter is actually something he has typed out and just fills in. But it takes effort to remember to leave the letter, right? Ha. Why do we love Barney? I don’t know. I just know that I do.

Oh - you can leave comments. So I left one. Here it is:

Ted Mosby dated my friend and she said that he was really weird, like all cuddly and he kept calling her Robin. Maybe he has feeling for this chick and he can’t get over her. That’s romantic. I mean, you can’t stand in the way of their love. But I really think your drawings are great, I posted one on SofaChip.com because I think you have real, real talent and I hope you pursue this - or maybe a vocal profession. I mean, not as a singer, but you know those auction people, or whatever? Yea, do that. I mean, they have to be able to talk for a long time without stopping to breath or think, which you can do so well! Seriously. That is talent. If you’re afraid that you’re too ugly to let people see you then maybe you can be on the radio.

P.S. I’m listening to the song again. It’s soothing. And I can totally just dub in some other male names! Say what you want - that still isn’t crazy compared to this! ; )

Last night’s episode of How I Met Your Mother did what it had to do to get a renewal for next season. Britney Spears was on the show, and the ratings for the show were good. I just wonder if this will backfire. People tuned in to see if Britney would fall over or not (she didn’t). But this was also a chance for the show to gain new fans. And if that was the case - I doubt it worked. The episode was one of the worst ever.

So, in the episode Ted got a crush on his Doctor, Stella. When he thinks he’s going on a date with her, it’s a miscommunication and he ends up being on an outing with her and all of her friends. He also ends up paying for them all. They played a haphazard version of telephone in the theater. It was a little gimmicky.  But, it would be fun to do. So now I have to find a bad movie to see so I can do that. Of course, finding a bad movie shouldn’t be too hard. Zing!

“Britney Spears was on our show? Oh geez.”
