Paris Hilton proved her feud with Lindsay Lohan is alive and well earlier this week when she was asked about her infamous night with Britney Spears 11 years ago. "It was just Brit and I out, and then she just, like, chased us to the car and got in," Hilton said. "She wasn't invited." When an MTV Australia host said Lohan appears to be doing well, Hilton giggled, "Yeah...sure." And to think, Lohan had tried to organize a reunion with Hilton and Spears just six months ago.
But, as history has shown, Hilton and Lohan have always behaved more like frenemies than real friends. Their drama dates back to May 2006, at L.A.'s Hyde nightclub, at a time when Lohan was reportedly linked to Hilton's ex, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos. Days later, Hilton laughed as her friend, Brandon Davis, trashed Lohan to the paparazzi. "I think she's worth about $7 million, which means she's really poor. It's disgusting," he said. "She lives in a motel." He made disparaging comments about the actress' body, branding her a "fire crotch" and asking, "Who would want to f--k her?" All the while, Hilton laughed and pretended to be taking a call. After the video went viral, Hilton's publicist, Elliott Mintz, issued a statement TMZ. "It is unfair to characterize Brandon's statements as being reflective of Paris' feelings about Lindsay. We're dealing with two different people," her publicist said in part. "It was Brandon who was speaking, of course there are moments when Paris was laughing, but she never said anything." Mintz added that Hilton "uses her cell phone as a defensive tool" to avoid reporters' questions.
The actress claimed Davis and Hilton prank called her afterward and said the socialite also pulled her aside at a club after she had called Niarchos. Lohan insisted she wasn't in a love triangle with the exes. "I would never fight with a girl over a guy," she said. "It's bad karma."
By November of that year, Lohan allegedly called Hilton the c-word on-camera. Asked to clarify her comment, she immediately denied it, saying, "I never said that. I love Paris. Paris is my friend." A week later, Lohan alleged to the paparazzi Hilton hit her in the arm with a drink at a party. "It hurts and it's not OK," she said. "I'm sorry for that everyone thinks I'm crazy. I'm not; I'm just trying to act." A day later, she joined Hilton and Spears for a night out, cementing their party girl reputations. "She's my friend," Lohan said of Hilton. "Everyone lies about everything."
In August 2008, at the grand opening of the Apple Lounge, the two partied liked old times. Hilton told Glamour in January 2009 everything was resolved. "I saw her a month ago and she was really sweet and seemed really happy," she told the magazine. "And we're all adults now." For more than a year, everything appeared copacetic between the stars. They ran in similar circles, and they were both seen leaving a party at Niarchos' house at 7 a.m. in November 2009.
Things took a turn for the worse during Art Basel in Miami in December 2013. Hilton's younger brother was attacked and posted images of his injuries on Instagram. He blamed Lohan, though his attacker was later identified as Ray Lemoine. Hilton commented on her brother's photo, writing, "They both will pay for what they did. No one f--ks with my family and gets away with it." A rep for Lemoine said Hilton's brother got physical first, after refusing to leave their house.
Hilton's brother filed a police report, TMZ said. The criminal investigation was dropped, as he became uncooperative afterward. In the end, no charges were filed and no arrests were made. Since then, Lohan has been living quietly in Dubai; just last week, while in town to visit family in New York City, she told E! News she hopes to start work on a Mean Girls sequel. "We need Rachel McAdams!" she said. L.A.-based Hilton, meanwhile, continues to jet set as a popular DJ.
The party pals are bound to cross paths, as they did most recently in May during the amfAR Gala at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Whether they'll ever be friends again is anyone's guess.
When paparazzi snapped a photo of pop sensation Sam Smith making out with his boyfriend, actor Brandon Flynn, the internet went wild. The photo shows Flynn and Smith sharing what appears to be a very strange kiss.
While it's possible that Momsen is practiced at parkour (an activity that involves traversing a landscape by creative running, jumping, and climbing), the singer's athleticism is not accurately portrayed in this clip. This video actually comes from a 2009 Nike commercial.
Viewers have been skeptical of this video ever since it went viral in 2009. For one, Momsen's athleticism seems just a tad exaggerated (could she really scale that parking garage?). And second, Momsen is wearing a Nike sports bra in the video and the camera seems to linger just a tad on her shoes, a pair of Nike Zoom Sister One+ sneakers that were released around the same time as the video's debut.
But since this video has never been officially shared on Nike's social media accounts (as far as we can tell this video was originally shared on random YouTube pages as part of an underground marketing effort), there's always been a bit of doubt about its origins. We reached out to Nike for more information but have not received a response.
What we did find, however, was a copy of this video on the website of Brandon Trost, a cinematographer who has created commercials for Cricket Wireless, Crate & Barrel, DiGiorno, and in 2009, Taylor Momsen and Nike. Here's a copy of the ad from Trost's Vimeo account:
Since creating this viral video advertisement for Nike, Trost has gone on to direct movies such as "American Pickle." Trost was also the Cinematographer for "The Disaster Artist" and "This is the End."
The video of Momsen escaping paparazzi via a bunch of parkour moves is hardly the only time a company has tried to grab the internet's attention with an unexpected viral video. We've previously covered viral videos of a skydiver landing on a trampoline (an ad for a trampoline park), a woman being eaten by a crocodile (an advertisement for a magazine), and a woman playing ping pong with her face (an advertisement for a skin care product). The most famous example of this sort of advertisement is probably the 2008 video of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchaku.
The paparazzi, still on the premises, went NUTS. Bob stopped to take in his surroundings. Why was he the only one dressed like a celebrity? Why were the photographers swarming around him? Did they think he was actually Lady Gaga?
Brandon's MustangYear1965TypeConvertibleManufacturerFord MustangModelClassic 289 V-8ColourPhoenician YellowDriver(s)Brandon, though Dylan borrows the car after his father's funeral to evade paparazzi[1]Brandon's Mustang is a motor vehicle appearing on Beverly Hills, 90210,
The Mustang is the car Brandon buys after working all of summer 1991 to save up to buy a new car for himself. After his DUI accident, Brandon has borrowed his mother's car whenever possible[2], and feels he needs a car of his own. He sees the Mustang in a newspaper ad and makes a deal with the owner at a vintage car lot to pick it up when summer ends. When he finally goes to get the car, he takes it for a joyride and is ecstatic until the car suddenly breaks down in the middle of the road, blocking traffic. Jim is livid that Brandon didn't have the car checked out independently beforehand, but later feels sorry for Brandon and pays for the repairs so he can have the car.[3]
E News broke the story with a paparazzi photo of Watson and Green walking through the Italian city hand-in-hand, laughing and seeming totally in love, to be honest. The outlet also says they were spotted getting into a water taxi.
Still, things look very much romantic judging from the latest pictures. It also looks like Watson has grown out the pixie crop from her recent Prada campaign which is a shame because, while we love Watson with any hairstyle, we really thought this was going to be her second pixie cut era (she also lopped off her locks in 2010 after wrapping the lengthy Harry Potter film series).
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson's son Brandon Thomas Lee was wary of entering the spotlight for a long time, but his feelings likely changed once his career as a model and actor started to take off. Having signed with Next Management around six years ago, Brandon has walked for leading fashion houses like Dolce & Gabbana and Philipp Plein. Brandon got one of his first acting breaks in 2018, with a role in Ian Samuels's Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. So, what does Brandon do for a living?
At first, Brandon likely had a few precautions about following in the footsteps of his parents, '90s it-couple Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson. As he told Interview, he and his brother, Dylan Jagger Lee, learned about how paparazzi operate at a young age.
"I remember one day asking my mom, 'Hey, why does everybody take photos of us?' And she said, 'Oh, they do that to everybody.'" Brandon told Interview. "Then, I remember being with one of my friends' families when I was, like, 10, and we walked into dinner somewhere, and I said to them, 'Hey, why does nobody take photos of you guys?'"
Brandon didn't plan on becoming a model, and it's only when he had a brief encounter with a modeling scout while accompanying his mom, Pamela, to a meeting, that he began to change his mind. As he told Grazia, he signed with Next Management after accidentally bumping into an agent on his way back from the bathroom.
