Perez Hilton: Lard & Order

Plus-sized professional prevaricator* Perez Hilton is heading back to court yet again! He’s being sued for $25 million by a geriatric nurse named Diane Wargo for publishing her name and e-mail address last December, after she sent him a very impolite e-mail from her work address:

Perez you are a FAT GAY PIG! Angelina is a ugly whore! You love her because she is a fag lover! Her brother is a gay little jerk just like your fat ugly ass! MANGELINA is a digusting gross skank!

Okay, so she’s no Oscar Wilde. Or even Oscar the Grouch…

Later that day, Wargo was fired from her job at the Menorah Park Center for Senior Living in Cleveland, and she says she’s been deluged with threats and invective from Hilton’s readers. According to her suit, he violated his own privacy policy by not getting her permission to give out her personal information. But according to Hilton’s lawyer, that policy only applies to blog comments, not e-mails, and Wargo had no expectation of privacy rights.

Gosh, this all sounds so familiar… Oh yeah, now I remember! As we told you back in April, the portly pap-plunderer is suing lesser-known scumblogger Jonathan Jaxson for, among other things, giving out Hilton’s cell phone number. Here’s the first part of Hilton’s complaint, courtesy of the Smoking Gun:

Hiding behind various aliases and intentional falsehoods, Defendant Jonathan Wayne Lewandowski, aka Jonathan Jaxon, aka Jonathan Taylor (”Jaxson”), an Internet blogger, embarked on a campaign to intentionally and maliciously interfere with [Mario] Lavandeira’s business by publishing a continuous onslaught of defamatory statements and publishing Lavandeira’s private cell phone number, while encouraging people to call that number to harass him. This conduct by Jaxson defamed Lavandeira and caused him to suffer extreme business interruption and constant harassment.

See how that works? If you violate Perez Hilton’s privacy and interfere with his ability to make a living, he’ll sue you. And if you say something that displeases Perez Hilton, he’ll invade your privacy and interfere with your ability to make a living.

Problem?

*Look it up, Mario.

Virginia Madsen Is/Has Botox’s Newest Face

Sideways star Virginia Madsen has spent the past few years talking about how rewarding it is to get decent roles as an actress over 40. In 2006:

When it comes to aging, Virginia Madsen doesn’t intend to put up a fight. She’s embracing it. “Beauty has to come from within,” she says, “You can be in the greatest gene pool in the world and still mess up if you don’t live right.”

The 44 year-old actress has been “in the business” for more than 20 years and after a slew of, um, bimbo parts in the 80s and 90s, admittedly only really began coming into her own with her Oscar-nominated role of Maya, the dumped-trophy-wife-turned-waitress in 2004’s smash hit Sideways.

“The roles a woman can play in her forties are so much more interesting, so much richer and so much more real. The roles for women in their twenties are flat by comparison. That’s when you’re really a woman, when you’re 40.”

As “really a woman” in her twenties, I’ll have to take her word on that. But it sounded like she was going to be one of the few who embraced aging gracefully.

Oh wait.

Oscar nominee VIRGINIA MADSEN is defying the aging process thanks to the latest development in Botox.

The 46-year-old Sideways star has become the new face of BotoxCosmetic - a prescription-only treatment.

In a new beach commercial, which features the actress’ son Jack, Madsen says, “Freedom of expression is what I’m all about… That’s why I asked my doctor about BotoxCosmetic - express yourself.”

Good luck expressing yourself when your facial muscles are shot up full of poison.

Keith Olbermann, Karma Kontortionist

Olbermann released a statement after Snow’s death Saturday, calling him “optimistic, funny and courageous… While we could not have disagreed more on policy, we were in frequent contact, even during his days as Press Secretary.”

Take your pick, I guess. Yeah, the “Worst Person in the World” shtick is at least partly tongue-in-cheek, but I’m not really feeling the warmth and respect in those clips. Maybe they were buddies when the cameras were off?

But a true friend of Snow’s says Olbermann had “no relationship with Tony, at all.”

Oh.

Well, at least Keith is pretending to be nice. A lot of people can’t even bring themselves to do that.

Konsequences Katch Up With Khloe Kardashian

Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian has been sentenced to a month three days in prison because she violated her probation in connection to a DUI arrest last year.

Big sister Kim has been blogging about it:

Khloe is ready and willing to serve out her sentence, no matter how long and where, and have this resolved.

I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly and it’s never acceptable to drink and drive!

Hmm, interesting because until today, she must have totally forgotten about the community service and alcohol-education classes she was ordered to attend when she was convicted. Which were both part of her original plea agreement.

I can see how something like that might slip her mind, though. Her bad!

Kleaning Out the Deceiver Attik

Our readers are the best. Most of you are civil, you know how to spell, you manage to refrain from writing in mobile-phone SMS shorthand most of the time, and many of you send us tips so that we don’t have to write about Leonardo DiCaprio all the freaking time.

But of course, some of those tips are 24-karat gold and others are… well, merely 18-karat. (Did you like how I did that without making all of you feel stupid?) So our e-mail in-box gets a little full from time to time with old stuff that we just thought was a little too weak to spend more than a sentence on.

If you’re into that sort of slapdash, drive-by, short-attention-span kind of stuff, this is your lucky day!

Here goes …

Discuss.
