Kathy Hilton Tells John McCain to Shut His Stupid, Crusty Face

ian spiegelman — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:38:16 EDT

How much of a silly old ass do you have to be to get me to side with the terrible, slithering Hilton Clan? About the size of John McCain, I'd wager. The war-loving Republican nominee's ad comparing Senator Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (watch it here) has gotten Paris' mom Kathy Hilton to write a terse response today. Well, she likely had someone else write it, but still.

I've been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign. It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States. [HuffPo]

Hmm. Strangely, I don't find myself on anyone's side in this. I just feel like I hate rich people.

Make A Sick Child's Wishes Come True By Bidding On Mel Gibson's Pants

Seth — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:15:05 EST

Not since Sharon Stone shrinkwrapped her below-the-belt Basic Instinct co-star for a gala fundraiser has the Make-A-Wish Foundation had such an exciting, celebrity-pants-related opportunity. Kathy Hilton has spent the holiday amassing an impressive collection of celebrity memorabilia for an eBay auction benefiting the dream-fulfilling children's charity, including a pair of stonewashed dungarees worn and signed by Mel Gibson.

To sweeten the deal, if the reserve is met, the Apocalypto director has promised to further personalize the garment by inscribing it with a memorable line from the auction winner's favorite Gibson movie or drunken racist rant, though having him write the word "Sugar" on one rear pocket and "Tits" on the other will cost a premium. Come on, now, bidders: This is for a good cause.

Paris Hilton Released From Jail; As Expected, World A Far Better Place

Mark — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:52:42 EDT

At around 12:15 a.m. last night, Paris Hilton was quietly released from the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, ending a 23-day sentence so harrowing that the troubled heiress found God and has publicly rededicated a life notoriously defined by the hollow pursuit of unearned fame to serving, like, cancer kids or other jail-type people, you know, whatever the publicist tells her will get those angry mobs to not show up at her the debut of her new Incarcerated perfume burning her orange-jumpsuited effigy. As you can see in the above video, the late-night release was effective in easing press congestion around the prison, drawing only the most dedicated two hundred or so local journalists to bathe the reborn heiress in the warm, familiar light of their flashbulbs, making Hilton's emotional reunion with her mother every bit as special as the typical night out at Hyde.

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

Mark — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:57:45 EDT

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.

Page Six Mag: For the Kathy Hilton Lover in Us All

Jessica — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 14:11:27 EDT

As promised, the 2nd installment of Page Six: the Magazine hit the stands today, and if you can get past the opening Jessica Joffe/Banana Republic spread (and the ads on practically every other page), you'll find a flimsy magazine full of all sorts of litterbox treats. There's plenty of pictures of celebs reading the Post, an odd quote from James Ellroy about how he likes to scratch himself and, best of all, an article on how everyone loves the show Ugly Betty — which is good, because the issue also features a full-page Ugly Betty ad. Well-played, really.

Then there's this here horrifying image of Kathy Hilton (with wee Paris) from a fashion show in 1987; it accompanies an article about Jerry Oppenheimer's new book, House of Hilton, which, among other things, details how Mother Hilton came to be the evil womb responsible for so much hate in this world. Kathy's father is a mere housepainter; as a young climber, she had a tryst with a member of the Jackson 5 (oh, please let it be Tito) when she was 16; and, best of all, Kathy's mother (Paris' grandmother) wanted to make sure her daughter "had all the tools" to land herself a rich husband like Rick Hilton, so she enrolled Kathy in "sex lessons" that were taught by a man in a van in front of their house.

All of which almost explains Paris Hilton. Almost.

• Kathy Hilton takes a tip from daughter Paris and goes for the midlife-crisis nip-slip. Click to enlarge (NSFW) and shudder. [Jossip]
• Sharp eyes may have noted that Vogue editbeast Anna Wintour's stepson, Samuel Shaffer, was married last Thursday to Kathryn Neale, a freelance writer. Let's hope Ms. Neale freelances enough to finance enough couture to wardrobe a lifetime of dinners with the in-laws. (Also, the wedding was in New Zealand, which explains the shocked emails we got from random Kiwi readers who thought they were hallucinating visions of Chanel tweed.) [NYT]
• And, as long as we're in the Styles section, yes, we too endured the article on teen clubs, featuring barely-legal "promoter" and Grubman PR intern Lexi Lehman. Could she reach media saturation before her 18th birthday? [NYT]
• Everyone's favorite blogging stripper, Mimi in NY, does her thing for the UK Sun. We find her graduation pictures from Cambridge particularly interesting; it's interesting what a blog and a gig at Scores does for to your appearance. [Sun UK]
• Slate hed writers go for the lowest common denominator and ask, "Are teachers who sleep with their students getting off?" Well, for all that trouble, we should hope so. [Slate]

Kathy and Rick Hilton Close Down Marquee

Jessica — Wed, 24 Aug 2005 09:45:02 EDT

It's not strange to see Nicky Hilton and Kevin Connolly at Chelsea megaplex Marquee at 3 AM. It is, however, rather strange to see them partying at said hour with Nicky's parents. Seriously: What were Kathy and Rick Hilton doing at Marquee at 3 AM on a recent school night? (Not that they'd be any less out of place on a weekend.) Does this strike anyone else as strange? The Hiltons are hardly parental types, but the thought of Kathy dancing on a banquette at such a late hour still gives us chills. Call us conservative, but we like our parents asleep by 10 PM, passed out on the couch in front of the History Channel, right where they belong.

Perhaps Connolly was equally disturbed by the elder Hiltons' presence, which would explain why he was getting so close to that tall, handsome fellow sitting near him. Funny what you see when you leave the house.

Gossip Roundup: Amy Sacco, This Is Your Life

• Behold the power of Madonna, who's scored a major "get" by luring David and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham into Kabbalah's shiny clutches. [Scoop]
• More thoughts on Bonnie Fuller, Abortionist: It's increasingly clear that Demi Moore was never pregnant and, as such, AMI publications were forced to cover their tracks and report a miscarriage. Classy! [Gatecrasher]
• Paris Hilton, it seems, has an imposter. Why anyone would want to masquerade as a mentally deficient harlot is beyond us. [R&M]
• Rick Hilton calls his wife Kathy "Mommy." Didn't need to know that, didja? [Page Six]

Kathy Hilton Destroying Texas Public Schools

Mark — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 17:03:13 EDT

As if it weren't bad enough when Google News sullied the West Nile Virus's good name by associating it with Kathy Hilton, now their crazed news-bot is trying to use the Hilton matriarch and her mindless reality show to bring down the entire Texas public school system.

Short Ends: Lamas Chippendaled Out Of Playmate Wedding?

Mark — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 20:46:45 EDT

· "The two of us have chosen to take different paths, but will continue to support each other in the spirit of the goodness and light that brought us together." Commenting about the sudden, possibly stripper-induced cancellation of his client's wedding, Lorenzo Lamas's agent waxes surprisingly poetic. (Eh, you know his assistant wrote it.) Still, it's hard not to view any Lamas-related misfortune as karmic payback for Are You Hot?
· Kathy Hilton says what all of America's been thinking: "This show fucking sucks."
· Sienna Miller's mom doesn't know if her daughter and nanny-zapping fiancée Jude Law will reconcile, but allows that if she had a nanny that spicy, she'd have "hit it" too.
· For the record, Mia Farrow doesn't think that Roman Polanski hit on that Swedish chick, either.

The 'I Want to Be a Hilton' Sneak Peek You've Been Waiting For

Jesse — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 13:31:12 EDT

Can't possibly wait for tonight to find out what happens on I Want to Be a Hilton? An anonymous (and, we know from experience, reliable) source was at the taping of the episode, and, Ellsbergianly, he violated his confidentiality agreement to bring this urgent update to Gawker readers:

I was at the episode of "I Want To Be A Hilton" that airs tonight (if it's not tonight, it's next week, but I'm pretty sure it's tonights). Well, during the taping last summer of the final "contest" scene (saying more would violate the confidentially agreement I signed and cause the hordes of Hilton-backed lawyers to kill me), Kathy was whispering to the person sitting next to her (one of the previously ousted contestants) that "This show fucking sucks." It seems the torture of sitting through hours of watching a really boring taping of her really boring show was getting to her as well. Then, unexpectedly, she broke into one of her seemingly trademark mood swings. Getting up, walking in front of the cameras and out the door, and then proceeding to scream at some hapless victim outside the room at the top of her lungs — while her mic was still live. This caused a frantic scramble from the sound people to "cut her mic!" They did, she came back in a few minutes later, sat down like nothing had happened, and proceeded to host her crapfest.

That's right, folks: Kathy Hilton is violently bipolar. And you heard it here first.

A day in the lives of the Hilton women

Gawker — Tue, 28 Jan 2003 11:58:49 EST

Nicky Hilton, who is having her chihuahua dyed pink for an upcoming fashion show, on why she's designing handbags when she doesn't need the money: "I just wanted to do something for young girls. Not every girl can afford a Prada bag or a Gucci bag. They're fun yet sophisticated." How much? "Maybe $125 to $400." Mom Kathy brags about older daughter Paris's literary inclinations: "She said, `I've read two Jackie Collins books.'"

The Hiltons' Christmas buffet

Gawker — Thu, 05 Dec 2002 03:56:50 EST

David Patrick Columbia reports that Rick and Kathy Hilton, heirs to the Hilton Hotel empire and parents of Paris and Nicky, who are "very homey people" had their annual Christmas buffett tonight at their apartment in Waldorf Towers. DPC raves about the amazing "warmth" of the place and simplicity of the buffett, which is "just like your neighbors have." We're willing to stretch the definition of "homey," but not so much that it includes a Park Avenue mansion. And we're willing to stretch the definition of "warmth," but not so much that it includes "eats small orphan children for breakfast, but in a genuinely tender fashion and only behind closed doors." (Perhaps we exaggerate on that one.) We do admit, however, that there may some similarities between the Hiltons and our neighbors. Our neighbors, for example, also have annoyingly vapid daughters. Our neighbors also... Okay, so that's where the similarities stop. Note to DPC: Wipe your mouth. You're drooling.
