Hilton's Lynwood Jail Now Offering 'Platinum Club Inmate Points' Redeemable For Exciting Upgrades

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 12:57 PM on June 16, 2007


While Paris Hilton's ongoing incarceration is tragically delaying her intention to emerge from prison the Nelson Mandela of the bottle-service set, her mere presence at the Century Regional Detention Facility is already improving conditions for her fellow detainees. Initially, we scoffed at Kathy Hilton's suggestion that her daughter's "whole ordeal can shed light on other people (in jail)", but the Access Hollywood testimony of a recent inmate reveals that Paris's stay has resulted in the immediate doubling of prioners' PBJ and bologna sandwich allotment and unexpected early releases; at this rate, by the end of the noble prison-reformer's sentence, the Lynwood "Hilton Suite" will be offering three gourmet meals per day, bunk-bed turndown service, and hot rock massages to all guests who volunteer to extend their stays.

The Single File Eyes blog notices the disturbing similarity of the arrangement of the actors on the License to Wed one-sheet to the female reproduction system, a design we have to assume is intended to subliminally attract the film's targeted audience into theatres. It's a stroke of genius, really, as we've been so mesmerised by the side-by-side that the poster's central figure has completely melted into the uterus, making us forget that Robin Williams is even in the movie.

Trade Roundup: Ben Silverman Buys Some Breasts For NBC, Calls It A Day

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 10:57 AM on June 16, 2007

ben-silverman.jpg· Displaying the kind of out-of-the-box vision that recently won him NBC's top programming job at the tender age of 19 (so young, we know!), Ben Silverman has acquired the rights to the Colombian televovela Sin tetas no hay paraiso (Without Breasts There is No Paradise), the story of a woman who seeks a breast enlargement as a solution to her poverty and gets entangled in prostitution. "I scour the world for the best ideas and for the game-changing hit shows and Sin Tetas is one of those shows," crowed Silverman about his get. "Dude, it's like my huge ABC success Ugly Betty, but with hookers and big tits. I've got another winner here, I just know it." [Variety] · And with leadership like that, why wouldn't NBC Universal be "upbeat" about their network's prospects? [THR] · The Middle East is hottest war-torn setting in Hollywood right now, with "at least six" films about the region on the way between June and early 2008. [Variety] · Bruce Willis and daughter Rumer will spend some quality time together building up their family business on the set of The Sophomore, a "teenage take on Chinatown". Unfortunately, Mischa Barton, once famously out-acted by some scene-hogging patio furniture in a pivotal moment on The OC, is also attached to the intriguing project. [THR] · Speaking of the Willis family business, Rumer step-dad Ashton Kutcher is producing another movie. Details available, but uninteresting. [Variety]
