Quick Hits Part One


That Was A Costly Escort - Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in prison today for chaining an escort to his bed and then attempting to beat the escort with a chain as he fled George's house. The judge said such behavior deserved immediate imprisonment. It's funny. 15 months seems about right for what happened, but you get so used to celebrities getting away with everything that it almost comes as a shock when one gets found guilty, let alone sentenced to actual prison time.

At Least She Didn't Lose Her Valtrex - At some point during her brief sojourn to Australia, Paris Hilton lost her cell phone at a hotel in Sydney. That was later found and returned to her. She also lost her camera which she really would like to have back because it has a bunch of personal photos on it. Considering that we have seen Paris naked, having sex, doing drugs, and anything else that could cause backlash, the photos are probably really unexciting. If they involve her and Brandon Davis, that would even be more unexciting. The Bongo Virus staff are the ones who sent out the press release asking for help finding the camera so I guess it is legit. Of course the stolen jewels seemed legit too.

He Brought Gwyneth? - Craig Rudin is a guy who is running for the mayor of LA. He is also a huge supporter of pot and runs a store that sells supplies. He told Globe Magazine about how Brad Pitt used to be his best customer. That isn't a shock so I don't really care about that. What I found interesting was that one time while they were dating Brad brought Gwyneth into the store with him. Rudin said that Gwyneth looked as if she could not wait to get out of there. I'm guessing that since Gwyneth hates chocolates and kind of munchies food that she is not a huge pot smoker.
