NEW YORK (AP) — On-again friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are taking "The Simple Life" — which shows the tabloid-ready celebutantes thrown into everyday situations with real people — to camp.
After last season's format allowed the then-feuding friends to have little to do with each other, this year's edition brings them together again.
On-again friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are taking The Simple Life -- which shows the tabloid-ready celebutantes thrown into everyday situations with real people -- to camp.
After last season's format allowed the then-feuding friends to have little to do with each other, this year's edition brings them together again.
The Simple Life Goes to Camp, to debut in May, has Hilton and Richie as counselors at Camp Shawnee in the mountains near Los Angeles, E! Entertainment Television announced. The camp will host five specialty groups: Wellness Camp, Pageant Camp, Couples Camp, Survival Camp and Drama Camp.
LOS ANGELES - On an episode of "30 Rock," comedian Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) informs co-workers he's on a religious quest.
"My attorney told me to join a church preemptively, 'cause juries are suspicious of celebrities who find religion after getting into trouble," he explains.
There could be an alternate approach to legal or public-relations damage control -- and it took Jerry Springer, of all people, to light the way for needy celebrities like Heather Mills.
From advertisements to magazine covers, the image of the promiscuous girl is being celebrated.
With her hit "Promiscuous," singer Nelly Furtado sold more albums than ever once she sexed up her image. Party girls Paris and Britney forget underwear for a night out, and teen girls echo those images on their MySpace pages.
All this has caught the attention of parents, educators and authors, and it also has caught the attention of the American Psychological Association, which last week released a report called "The Sexualization of Girls."

Now that they're on speaking terms again, E! has some plans for Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton.
They will be back on the schedule with a twist. This time not only will they be together, but they will be featured in a camp setting.
Last year, both starred on the show but producers were careful to keep them apart to prevent any more feuding.

Democrats proved very trendy. The Iraq war, YouTube, Anna Nicole Smith, Borat, O.J. Simpson and pirates of the Caribbean persuasion drew serious attention. This year's winners and losers are dead ahead, mateys.

In the fast moving times of today’s teen culture there’s a surprising trend that’s making bookstore owners and librarians very happy — teens are actually reading.
Some are calling it the “golden age” of reading, others are just happy that books haven’t been replaced with video games, iPods and the Internet. In fact, book pushers are using all the technology that defines the Millennium Generation to market to teens who may not always be willing to leave cyberspace to curl up with a good book.
“The technology is giving us an opportunity to reach kids more and more,” said Judy Nelson, president of the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association.

You?d think that when a woman throws a divorce party to celebrate the end of her marriage, the breakup is pretty final. But Shanna Moakler, who feted her freedom from Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker back in November, is now partying by his side again.
At her early birthday bash in Miami on Friday, the reality star proudly confirmed to People magazine buzz that the once-estranged couple is back together, saying, ?Yes, I?m madly in love with my husband.?
But the mom of two squashed another recent rumor surrounding the Barkers: ?While I hope one day to have more children with Travis, I am not pregnant.?
A collection of skits and songs about Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s, RiffRaff Productions' musical revue "Steppin' Out" lacks focus and flow.
Compiled, arranged, accompanied, designed and directed by Modesto keyboardist John Duerner, it veers haphazardly from slapstick comedy bits to serious monologues and back again.
There doesn't seem to be much of a plan for what the dozen performers are supposed to do when they aren't in a featured bit. Instead of leaving the stage, they sit or stand awkwardly in the background, counting the minutes until their next song.
The Tuesday night debut of a new jeans collection by Anand Jon Alexander was canceled because the celebrity fashion designer is in jail on charges that he sexually assaulted seven women and girls.
Alexander had been set to unveil his AJ Jeans collection at a Culver City studio as part of the L.A. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week but his name was removed from the Web site and organizers confirmed that his show was canceled.
That is the only show that Alexander plans to miss "for now," his attorney, Ronald Richards, said.
As you read this, I should (hopefully) be somewhere on a body of water, contemplating my next frosty adult beverage and whether I need another slathering of sunscreen. I do not plan on checking in with the world for approximately a week, which should be ample time for it to go to hell in a hand basket (I know hand baskets aren’t quite as trendy as say a Birkin bag but a lot can happen in a week when Paris Hilton’s drive of the fashion world can spin on a dime) without my immediate input.
By the time I am back, the world could be an entirely different place. For now, though, this is where things stand:
Anna Nicole has been buried next to her son but the paternity of her baby girl continues to flip-flop. I expect by my return for at least three more possible baby daddies to throw their hat in the ring.
Celebrity spotting is a favorite New York sport. So heads turned and horns honked at the line on 57th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues yesterday morning, outside the AMV Unitel Studios. Waiting in the line were Madonna, President George W. Bush, Roseanne Barr, David Letterman, Paris Hilton, Whitney Houston and many more. Robert De Niro kissed Roseanne hello, and the president and Madonna posed for a photograph.
It was all fake. A sharp-eyed observer would note at least two Rod Stewarts ? and, back from the dead, an Elvis Presley, a George Burns, a Harpo Marx and a few Frank Sinatras.
The occasion was the first of two days of auditions in New York for a new hourlong show on ABC, ?The Next Best Thing: Who Is the Greatest Celebrity Impersonator?? which begins on May 30. About 100 people are expected to try out here. There were previously auditions in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and there will two more days in Orlando, Fla., at the end of the month.
March 21, 2007 -- Lindsay Lohan's mother compares her booze-addled daughter to Princess Diana, warning that if the paparazzi keep chasing the young actress, she'll end up dead, too.
"Look at me," Dina Lohan said in the latest Harper's Bazaar, in which she talked about her daughter's run-ins with celebrity photographers. "Diana will happen again."
The mom also worked hard to get across another message - that she's a superstar herself - as she gushed about the glamorous life she leads thanks to her troubled daughter's celebrity.

If you believe a definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, consider this:
The U.S. Mint wanted to solve the problem of short-life paper dollars by substituting them with longer lasting dollar coins. So, in 1979, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was issued. It was a dismal failure because it looked too much like a quarter. Most people predicted it would fail.
Then in 2000, the mint tried again with the Sacagawea dollar coin. No lessons learned here; it also looked too much like a quarter and, predictably, failed miserably. (Let's not even talk about how the mint bypassed events such as the first man on the moon or even the Lewis and Clark expedition itself to honor Sacagawea - someone who assisted Lewis and Clark halfway through the expedition).

Q Should the guy pay for the date? I'm struggling with a money issue with a guy I've been dating a few months. We make similar money - not much, but not minimum wage. We were splitting the bill when we first started dating.
After we had been dating for a while, I asked if we could treat each other to dates rather than split the bill, because it's nicer. We started doing this, and he does take me out sometimes, but not all the time. Now I'm anxious every time we go out: Is he going to pay? Isn't he?
The truth is, I prefer to be taken out by the guy. I know it's antiquated, but it makes me feel wanted, taken care of, special. I don't mind paying for dinner or drinks every second or third time. Most guys seem to take it as a point of pride that they're paying ... this guy doesn't.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Prosecutors added 13 criminal charges Monday against a celebrity fashion designer already accused of three sexual assaults.
Prosecutors said the additional charges involve four new women who have accused Anand Jon Alexander of assault, bringing the total number of alleged victims to seven.
Alexander, 33, has been in jail on $1.3 million bail since March 6. His arraignment was scheduled for April 4.
The fashion designer, who earlier this year was on Newsweek magazine's list of people to watch in 2007, was about to unveil a new line during L.A. Fashion Week.
Instead, the headlines are focused on his arrest in Beverly Hills for allegedly sexually assaulting seven women and girls who modeled for him over the last three years. On Monday, prosecutors charged Jon, 33, with 15 felony and five misdemeanors counts.
"He lured these girls to be models and once here sexually assaulted them," said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. "This is an ongoing investigation and we believe there may be numerous additional victims."

MIAMI, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- rakontur, the independent production company headed by Alfred Spellman and Billy Corben and responsible for the critically acclaimed feature documentaries Cocaine Cowboys and Raw Deal, announced it has wrapped production on its nightclub documentary series CLUBLAND.
The series will be distributed exclusively on the web in fifty 5-minute webisodes and marks the first time the company has produced original content for the internet, rakontur is currently considering online distribution and advertising/sponsorship offers.
"Creating original content for the internet is an exciting new frontier for us," says producer Alfred Spellman. All the smart money in original content is headed to the internet, as it allows you to reach your audience directly and interact with them, without the interference of layers of executives and market research. That freedom allows us to produce a no-holds- barred look into the seedy underbelly of the nightclub business that would not be possible to air on traditional television."
What did Wilberforce "cure"? Two centuries ago, on March 25, 1807, one very persistent British backbencher secured the passage by Parliament of an Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade throughout His Majesty's realms and territories. It's not that no one remembers the disease ever existed, but that we recall it as a kind of freak pandemic -- a SARS or bird flu that flares up and whirrs round the world and is then eradicated. The American education system teaches it as such -- as a kind of wicked perversion the Atlantic settlers had conjured out of their own ambition.
In reality, it was more like the common cold -- a fact of life. The institution predates the word's etymology, from the Slavs brought from eastern Europe to the glittering metropolis of Rome. It predates by some millennia the earliest laws, such as the Code of Hammurabi in Mesopotamia. The first slave-owners on the North American continent were hunter-gatherers.

• Lawmakers ignore tax that majority supports
What is the reason that many of our lawmakers refuse to support a cigarette tax increase? Some have said it’s the principle. They just won’t vote for any tax increase. Others have yet to disclose their reluctance to increase this tax.
Whatever the reasons, our lawmakers’ failure to address South Carolina’s serious problems with funds so readily available is difficult to comprehend, especially since in polls, citizens overwhelmingly support a tax increase on cigarettes.

HANOI, Vietnam Angelina Jolie plans to adopt a young Vietnamese boy and he probably will be moving to the United States in no more than three months, Vietnams top adoption official said Wednesday.
Jolie chose the boy, who is between 3 and 4 years old, during a recent visit to the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, said Vu Duc Long, the head of the justice ministrys international adoption department in Hanoi.
Under ordinary circumstances, it takes about four months to process an adoption after the forms arrive, Long said. If the prospective parent already has chosen a child, the adoption can be completed in just three months.
Michael Jackson might well be reviewing and evaluating several offers to perform as a headliner in Las Vegas, as spokeswoman Ramone Bain claimed last week.

Wynn himself snuffed out the Jackson rumors on Friday during a phone conversation with the Sun's Brendan Buhler. Wynn called to respond to Buhler's story that appeared in Friday's Sun, which examined the likelihood of a Jackson production show on the Strip and who might entertain signing the mercurial entertainer.
