Remember when Paris Hilton went on Larry King Live last June and talked about how much she loves the Bible and she’s a different person now and blah blah blah?
HILTON: I’ve definitely matured and grown a lot from this experience, so I just — I don’t know, I just want to be — I’m 26 years old. I’m an adult, and I am — I have to just grow up and to be a more responsible — a role model…
How’s that working out for her? Quite well, thank you:
Lindsay Lohan tried to make peace with Paris, leaving voice mails explaining that she wanted to call a truce.
But Paris refused to call back. Finally, she responded in her usually classy way.
“She had her assistant call Lindsay and leave fart sounds on her voice mail,” a close source told The Enquirer.
(Thanks, Cele|bitchy.) Yeah, we’ve been relying on the National Enquirer a lot the last few days, but it’s like Ace says: “I don’t know why we have to keep pretending the Enquirer is less accurate than the mainstream media…”
The National Enquirer is reporting that weight loss juggernaut Jenny Craig has fired actress Kirstie Alley as their spokeswoman because she hasn’t been able to keep thin.
At one point she claimed she lost 75 pounds on the diet plan, but recent photos indicate that she may have put much of that back on — making her, I don’t know, maybe not the best example of how well Jenny Craig works.
It’s also possible that the Fat Actress star was dropped because she has sort of credited Scientology’s detoxification plan to help her get slim.
But that would be surprising because it is totally bogus science and wouldn’t work unless you just wanted to lose weight in your liver.
They’ve replaced her with Queen Latifah, who, if you’ll recall, also shills for Pizza Hut.
UPDATE: Jenny Craig has confirmed that Kirstie Alley is out as the spokesmodel.
SHOUTOUT: Welcome newbies to Deceiver! Hope you stick around.Â
Mark Penn, who is Sen. Hillary Clinton’s top election strategist, has been very vocal in recent weeks about Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign contributions from Exelon Corporation, a nuclear giant.
The Clinton campaign and Penn in particular have blasted Sen. Obama for pushing for soft legislation that would advise (instead of require) power companies to report nuclear leaks, after it came out that Exelon has for years failed to report when they neglected to properly contain radioactive waste.
The reason for the wishy-washy legislation, the Clinton camp said, was because Exelon is one of Sen. Obama’s biggest contributers, having given $227,000 to his election bid.
And yet Penn’s consulting firm Burson Marsteller was just paid $230,627 to help the power company renew a nuclear energy license in New Jersey. The campaign dismissed the revelation, with one spokesman saying:
“I dont recall Exelon sitting in Senator Clinton’s office watering down legislation designed to protect people from nuclear leaks.”
Perhaps Exelon wasn’t sitting in her office, but they seem to have been waiting for her campaign’s advisers in the conference room down the hall.
