Watching New Celebs

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is seeking at least US$100,000 in damages from greeting card maker Hallmark for using a photograph of her face superimposed onto a cartoon body and her trademarked catch phrase, “that’s hot.” I seriously didn’t know that these 2 words were worth US$100,000! She’s quite a smart cookie huh, trademarking these 2 words and receiving royalty whenever anyone uses them for whatever purposes.

Hilton accuses Hallmark of using her name, photograph and registered trademark for commercial purposes without her consent and seeks at least $100,000 in damages, but possibly more depending the total sales of the $2.49 greeting card.

Hallmark defended the cards, saying a number of its new humor greeting cards are parodies of popular celebrities and politicians. “These cards take a satirical look at news and gossip surrounding these public figures, including Paris Hilton, and we do not believe Hallmark has violated any of Ms. Hilton’s rights,” said Hallmark spokeswoman Julie O’Dell in response to the suit.

The above shows Daniel Radcliffe arriving at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘December Boys’ in Los Angeles, California. Our Harry Potter “boy” has all grown up huh? For those wondering what December Boys is about, here’s a quick sypnosis:-

Maps (Daniel Radcliffe) is a lonely orphan boy who may be too old to be adopted. He gets a break from his dreary life in a Catholic convent in the remote Australian outback when he’s sent on vacation at the shore with three of his best friends. While Maps falls in love with a pretty girl (Teresa Palmer), the other boys vie to look the most adoptable by a nice childless couple. The movie is based on a novel by Michael Noonan.

If you are wondering who Teresa Palmer is, here’s a first look:-

I will talk more about her tomorrow.

Lastly, I will end with Daniel lapping it up in front of the shutterbugs, signing autographs.

And I used to think Keira Knightley was hot; What’s happened to her?

The above shows her attending the 64th Annual Venice Film Festival. Why is she slouching and her hair looks so frizzled… She seems awfully thin too…

If you do a double take, she looks a lot like Winona Ryder, who actually looks healthier in the below photo

There’s no keeping up with Britney Spears. So what’s she up to nowadays when she’s not busy cutting her hair or checking herself into mental institutions? Busy hosting the opening of a nightclub of course! Oh, and her new album is coming up! Heard the audio, it sounds not bad, but I would wait for the mtv; It usually makes the music look better, haha!

Here are some of the other guests.

Criss Angel, magician extraordinaire

Nicole Bennett and Dave Navarro

Wonder what Carmen Electra feels about the above photo…

And of course, you have Paris Nicky Hilton

Guess her sister must have been busy partying away at another nightclub.

Chris Richardson kinda reminds me of the young Ricky Martin, doesn’t he?

Well, it seems like you guys & gals are most interested about news concerning Rachel Nichols, and so here goes more news about her. Rachel stars as Angela, a corporate climber, who gets stuck working late on Christmas Eve and finds herself the target of an unhinged security guard (played by Wes Bentley). With no help in sight, the woman must overcome physical and psychological challenges to survive. This trailer is opening on Nov 9th and is rated R. Hmmm… An R-rating… The above photo makes me wonder why…

This photo shows Presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama during a campaign rally and press conference at Silverado High School in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 07. Mr Obama is apparently popular amongst the girls and womenfolk. Is there then any doubt as to why the following video has been made about him?

Here’s the famous Obama girl:-

Samantha Thavasa opens new store opening in Tokyo on 30th Aug 07 under the new apparel brand name “Riccimie NEW YORK”, and she invites Miss Universe Japan 2006 Kurara Chibana to the grand opening. I have a friend who swears by Samantha Thavasa, so to my Japanese readers out there, you may wanna drop by the store. (Be warned though - the prices are exorbitant!)

Oh, Samantha has also invited Socialite/Designer Tinsley Mortimer as one of the guests.
