In exchange, Johnson relinquishes his rights to sue the University for any wrongdoing.

If Parisite is now calling herself a fag hag, that is enough to turn any gay man straight. Note to Paris: stay away from us mo's, we don't want you!

I can't with her.
Paris: "I always knew I could sing," she told me, first thing. "Me, [my sister] Nikki, and Nicole [Richie] would sing karaoke in the house to Tina Turner, Madonna, and Paula Abdul, but I was always very shy about getting up in public. But now I've grown as a person and an artist, and this is what I'm meant to do..."
Grown as an artist? She bought her way into her "career" (and I use that term loosely). She's famous for drinking, partying, drugs, sex tapes, bad taste, and way too much money for anyone's own good. America has reached their crowning point, when simple white trash can buy their way into fame and fortune. We should all be so proud...

I think that should be caveated with "self-proclaimed" fag hag. I, along with every gay man I know, loathes self-promoting piece of Hollywood vermin. She's exhausted the mainstream press with her gutter trash antics so now she's coming after us.

Why is this skank on the cover of Out? Sometimes I pick up a copy, not this month. I can see why she might be appealing to teen girls, but gay men? We're certainly not impressed by her sex video, unless you count that big cock that was getting shoved into her. What's she famous for? Spreading her damn legs.
Posted by: Jake | May 3, 2006 1:15:01 PM
I have long suspected that the gay press is dead, finally, there is evidence.
Out magazine has a history of defining itself by displaying straight people as subjects for gays to consume with relish, suggesting that our world in and by itself is simply not enough. Paris Hilton slides into a new nadir for this magazine. Is this the first issue of of its new editor or the dying swan song of Mr Lemon? Regardless, the photo is ugly (very bad Hurrell rip-off) and frankly, who gives a damn?

I remember reading that Reichen what's his name thinks she's fabulous and would like to do shows or whatever with her. Maybe she'll end up carying the children he's said he longs for. He defended dating women, though "still gay," because he didn't want to have to pay a stranger to bear his child. Her Hiltoness doesn't need the money. Paris want a cracker?

Fag hag? Skank?
You guys continue contributing attention to someone who deserves none.
~~~
Of course Randy Quaid dropped his lawsuit. What an absolute idiot he is.

Interesting that Paris now calls herself a fag hag. On the first season of "The Simple Life" she and Nicole got two country boys to kiss each other. When Nicole said, "Don't you think it's hot to see two hot guys kissing?", Paris quickly retorted that she didn't and went on to explain how she thought it was gross. So she thinks gay guys are hot and good dressers, she just doesn't want to see them kiss. Newsflash Paris...THAT'S THE PART THAT MAKES THEM GAY!!
What a self-centered, narcissistic loser! Stick with the breeders Paris, we fags don't want you either. At least you can shake your money maker at the breeder boys and get what you want no matter how big a skank you are. With us fags...NOTHIN!
If it wasn't clear before that OUT was/is a joke, there should be no doubt now.

Can't stand the term, can't stand her. This is the shortest entry I have or every will make.

To hell with Paris and Out... is this really important?
Stephen Colbert is a genius! He was offered the chance to roast the President and he did so with piss and vinegar! Hooray for him! Even the press was shocked at how rank he got... which is amazing considering how low the general media sometimes sinks. CSPAN played the entire roast and it's simply genius! Catch it if you can!
Posted by: Wayne | May 3, 2006 4:22:28 PM
Please don't take awau my Barneys charge card for saying this, but Paris looks HOT in these spreads!
Posted by: honey child | May 3, 2006 4:28:57 PM
Does anyone else get a "Young Frankestein" flashback when they look at this latest "OUT" cover? I think Madelin Kahn looked better.
OUCH!
Posted by: Zeke | May 3, 2006 4:45:25 PM
If Stephen Colbert wanted to make Duhhhbya and all the compliant sheeple of the press really LAUGH, he should have joked like Duhhhbya did about searching for WMDs under his desk and in his closet, with hundreds already dead in Iraq.
That would have been truly tasteful, and there's video of the whole room LAUGHING at the fact that hundreds of soldiers died for nothing.
That's kkkonservative humor.

I'm not quite sure you can describe Paris as "simple white trash". Her father was rich, her gandfather was rich. I mean, at what do you stop being trash? Well, maybe she's RICH white trash. OK.

Perhaps it's just me, but does anyone else find it strange that the photographer alledgedly assaulted by Barry Humphries will only talk to News Corp.?

ROFL Seriously.

I can forgive Paris for her unrepentant skankiness. What is beyond me is how her parents can just sit back and not do anything while their daughter continues to sully their family's name. I know she's 25 and all but don't they care at all?
Posted by: gabe | May 3, 2006 6:20:14 PM
I thought Colbert's routine was painful. Not bad, mind you; some of his material was excellent, and I'm in awe that he deilvered it with that fascist Texan jackass right there.
It just seemed the reception he got was...sparse. And his delivery was so broken up, so halting, I feared the crowd was killing him.
Posted by: Jacko | May 3, 2006 6:43:46 PM
Stephanie Miller owns!
Posted by: Ty | May 3, 2006 7:03:47 PM
Most of the people whom I've talked to thought Colbert was just aweful and not-funny. I'm not a fan of his humor-style, so most of it just grated.
As for being "brave" to say it to Dudya's face...what personal risk did he take? It's not like the secret service would have dragged him out of the room and shot him in an alley-way. There's no means of retribution that would be visited upon him by the Whiet House staff...or that an aggrieved host would cancel his check. What "bravery"? Will his wife now stop loving him? Will his children suddenly turn-away their faces. Will be be shunned at the studio commissary? He collected a nice, fat check...prbably enough to send his kids through college...and smiled all the way back to his hotel. Rather than sitting in the back of his limo in a puddle of cold sweat, waiting for the secret police to intercept him and wisk him off to a Re-education Camp in Montana.

Did anyone catch Lou Dobbs with the dumbass Martha Zoller? She had the balls to say that Stephen Colbert was offensive because he mentioned Tuesday, saying it was a reference to 9/11...WTF?? Methinks the wingnuts are running out of ammo...
Posted by: Frank | May 3, 2006 7:44:23 PM
^HAHA! So true! And I love how she claims to have lost friends in the attacks, but opens the statement by saying that it took a MOVIE (Flight 93) to bring to her mind that 9/11 happened on a Tuesday. Bless her heart.
Posted by: Mikey | May 3, 2006 7:48:33 PM
Colbert wiped that shit eating grin off Bush's face and for that he should be commended. It's odd how people cite the silence of the crowd as indication that he failed. He slayed those people. The one's that weren't well trained enough to plaster a smile on their faces covered their mouths or had their jaws dropped open. It was a wicked accomplishment.
Posted by: Chad Hanging | May 3, 2006 7:48:58 PM
QUOTE Zoller: "What came to mind after seeing "United 93" this weekend is 9/11 was a Tuesday, so that was -- and he probably didn't even think about a that, but for me, having lost friends in the World Trade Towers that was the first thing I thought of."
WTF is she smoking?!?! A grand idiot, she is.
Posted by: Nick | May 3, 2006 7:58:59 PM
TedB/"ChargingRhino": Colbert's a hell of a lot braver than the media which has rolled over and played dead through all the color-coded, fear-mongering years before the 02 and 04 elections, passing it all along unquestioningly and acting as a wing of the Administration. Funny how we haven't heard any "today's threat level is elevated" warnings in a while, but we're rattling sabers at Iran (it is an election year, after all.)
