There was a time when THG hated Paris Hilton pretty hard. She was Kim Kardashian before Kim Kardashian was Kim Kardashian , getting rich off her sex tape, her marketing ability and her complete lack of utter talent. But that feels like forever ago, doesn’t it? Hilton has now been reduced to playing DJ at clubs (instead of headlining their parties as a guest), dressing as Miley Cyrus for Halloween and posing for a series of random bondage photos . In short, she’s become irrelevant – and there’s nothing worse for someone who was only really famous for being famous. Therefore, on Hilton’s 33rd birthday, we give the D-lister a break and pay her tribute with 33 photos from a time when people actually cared about what she did. Those were the days, huh, Paris? 33 Photos of Paris Hilton From When She Used To Be Famous Open Slideshow 1. Paris Hilton Mug Shot Paris Hilton hasn’t been famous for a long time.

Fairy Dust Maker Paris Hilton is proud to present her new fragrance, Fairy Dust. The socialite premiered the perfume in the fall of 2008. 7. Paris Photo Poor Paris Hilton, folks. The talentless socialite says all guys use her for money and sex. Maybe if she stopped flaunting those things, she’d find Mr. Right. 8. Surprising Cleavage Alert! This just in: Paris Hilton has cleavage! Who knew?!? The talentless, law-breaking socialite is seen here, showing off her decent-sized breasts as she exits a vehicle. 9.

Sometimes even on film. 31. Paris Hilton, Dog Paris Hilton cradles a small dog. We don’t believe this is Tinkerbell, her pooch at the center of a prank call death threat scandal. 32. Paris Hilton for Guess Does Paris Hilton make you wanna buy Guess clothing? No? What a shock!
Someday, the following list will not be necessary. Someday, celebrities will not need to make any sort of official announcement regarding their sexuality because, quite simply, no one will care and society will be fully accepting of all orientations. But that day hasn’t arrived yet, for reasons explained so eloquently by Ellen Page when she came out as a lesbian on Friday: Perhaps these stars can make a difference.

Britney Spears’ sexy Shape cover is literally beyond comprehension. Either because of its extreme hotness … or extreme photoshopping. Some readers began crying foul moments after it was released, insisting that the ultra-svelte body on the Britney Spears Shape cover can’t possibly be hers. Oh, but it can. See below: While her skin was definitely smoothed out and airbrushed, that’s pretty standard for any magazine cover. Those curves look like vintage Britney. And in any case, the point of the cover story is her new regimen of Nutrisystem, dieting, yoga and crazy rehearsals for her upcoming Vegas residency. “I’m doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio … hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer,” she tells the magazine. That’s the kind of intense workout and diet program that’ll really help you lose weight and get into the best Shape of your life … so take that, haters. And check out some of our favorite Britney Spears bikini pics below!

Hours after Jason Collins came out as gay , NFL star Mike Wallace earned the distinction of penning the first moronic, borderline homophobic Tweet about it. In response to the NBA player’s admission to SI , Wallace wrote, “All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH (shakin’ my head).” Wallace quickly deleted his tweet and replaced it with an apology. “Never said that anything was right or wrong I just said I don’t understand!! Deeply sorry for anyone that I offended,” wrote the 26-year-old Dolphins receiver. A 12-year NBA veteran, Jason Collins is the first active player in major U.S. team sports to come out as gay. But not everyone was moved by the 34-year-old. According to Wallace, the dude is just missing out. Just think of all the bikini photos he could be ogling instead of shirtless guys! SMH, right Mike?! In Wallace’s slight defense, women’s bodies are more like art, while men’s bodies are for utility purposes, to borrow one of our favorite Seinfeld quotes . It is possible he didn’t mean to be critical, but either way, he’s a jackass for actually Tweeting that, as if one is “better” or Collins has any choice in the matter. Do you agree?
