When we opined yesterday about how odd it seems that George Clooney would be spending time with Paris Hilton, we knew nothing about Sarah Larson, whom the gossip rags now identify as Clooney's EX-girlfriend.

After reading a little bit about her and seeing these photographs supposedly taken of Larson shortly before Clooney met her, when Larson was a Las Vegas party girl, ... Well, let's just say that Clooney's alleged interest in Hilton doesn't surprise us anymore. Apparently, he's drawn to the type.

We've got a few more of the photographs after the jump.

We've always liked George Clooney. He's an intelligent guy who seems like an all-around nice fellow. And, judging from the movies he makes, he has good taste and judgment.

So what explains reports he's been hanging out with Paris Hilton in L.A. hot spots, getting "intimate," as one gossip puts it?

If you thought her life has been a circus the last few years...well, now Britney Spears is taking it on the road. She's launching her first arena tour in five years, kicking it off March 3rd in Nawlins. "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" is the name of the show. Her just-released album, of course, is titled "Circus."

Spears presented a taste of the show Tuesday morning on Good Morning America. You can check out her performance on the attached video.

The Pussycat Dolls will be her special guests on the tour, which will take her to 27 North American cities.

We pride ourselves on knowing a talentless ignorant skank when we see one — that is, after all, the name of this site. Seems to us there's something off about John McCain's latest Obama-bashing political ad. McCain seems to be equating Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. But if he's suggesting the Illinois senator is a vacuous, bleached-blond, panty-less, sex-tape-making Hollywood slut and airhead...

Well, we just don't see it.

Take a look at the ad and tell us what you think. In that last shot, McCain looks a tad pixilated, if you ask us. (We're using "pixilated" in the pre-digital To Kill a Mockingbird kind of way.) Showing that image as his voice says "I approve this message" makes us wonder if he's getting enough supervision.

Or maybe she just wants another way to earn a buck. Lying with sweaty, middleaged, bald men pays well, but it must be hard for the high-dollar hottie to ply her trade in the glare of national publicity. Would you try to hook up with her with everyone watching?

Dupre, who recently dropped her lawsuit to suppress a video she did for Girls Gone Wild back in her pre-famous days, now is pitching a reality dating show that the Entertainment Weekly says is "a cross between Pretty Woman and Cinderella."

Coinciding with Hillary Clinton's departure from the Democratic nomination race, Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones are announcing a joint venture — a website where the two rehash decades-old Bill Clinton smut. The site features video chats between the two about such subjects as "Paula and the President's Penis," "Gennifer's Story and the Presidential Penis" and "Hillary Running for President."

We here at TalentlessIgnorantSkank.com believe in responsible journalism, even if we don't practice it.  If we get something wrong, we don't hesitate to correct it. Of course, since we don't do any original reporting, the mistakes technically aren't ours — we're spotless! — so correcting errors is no skin off our nose. It's the other guy who screwed up.

In this case, we're not sure who originally reported that Mirthala Salinas, the former news anchor in Los Angeles, had had affairs with at least three Latinos, including (most famously) the mayor. You remember Salinas, don't you? Her affair with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa cost her ...<< MORE >>

Ashley Dupre was a "good Catholic girl," according to her ex-fiance. "A girl every guy would want to meet."

Having seen the video of her stripping for Girls Gone Wild, we'd have to agree with the last part. Eliot Spitzer sure wanted to meet her. Every chance he got.

Jason Jarocki met her in a nightclub in 2006, he tells Extra in an interiew that airs Wednesday night. Four months after they met, they got engaged.

Then the good Catholic girl-turned-hooker started disappearing. "I had no idea where she was or what she was doing or anthing at all," he says.

"To sum it up, she broke my heart."

Sniff, sniff.

We don't like to think of ourselves as the type to get pleasure from other peoples' misfortunes — unless, of course, they deserve it, and then only if they don't suffer too greatly. So we're not quite sure how to react to news of paparazzi-on-paparazzi violence. 

A scumbag celebrity chaser is suing a scumbag photo agency, alleging that some of the agency's scumbag  photographers beat him up outside Britney Spears' house on March 5th.  All well and good. We'd have fun with that, except that the victim, Alison Silva, had to be taken by ambulance to the emergency room where he was treated for blunt head trauma and a broken nose. According to...

Nicole Richie has been offered the lead role in Chicago on Broadway, according to US magazine, which is pretty amazing when you think about it: Doesn't playing Roxie Hart require some amount of talent? We have to assume Richie's celebrity played no small part in the producers' decision to offer her the job. But, really, how big of a celebrity is she without the reflected glow off of her FBFF Paris Hilton? Who, besides paparazzi and the folks who run celebrity websites and magazines, actaully care about Richie?

A celebrity photographer who resigned because he felt bad about hounding stars, particularly a mentally ill Britney Spears, has written a first-person article about his decision and about the paparazzi life for the Los Angeles Times.

Good for him. I hope more follow his lead and that the gossip rags and websites that throw money at them will feel similar twinges of guilt.

But, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't already fielded a dozen calls from movie producers and has a proposal out for a book.

If you rounded up all the people across America who saw Paris Hilton's The Hottie and the Nottie Friday night, they wouldn't come close to filling the seats in an average megaplex. The 111 screens on which the Regent Releasing movie showed averaged $76 per location, according to Fantasy Mogul:


What do you think she'll do to try to revive her fame? Will another sex tape magically appear? Or maybe she'll actually launch that much-needed global campaign to persuade elephants to stop binge drinking.

The abominable excesses of L.A.'s burgeoning  paparazzi  population has prompted a city councilman to announce plans to push an ordinance that would create a minimal "personal safety zone" around hounded celebrities.

It's sad that such a step would seem necessary but commendable that someone is trying to do something about the inhumane intrusions of an out-of-control, celebrity-obsessed media.

"I don't want a repeat of what happened to Princess Diana with a celebrity in Los Angeles," City Councilman Dennis Zine says in Saturday's Los Angeles Times. "We had to have 12 officers escort [Spears] to the hospital that if not for paparazzi would have been used to prevent crime somewhere else."

He's referring to the dozen motorcycle officers, two squad cars and two police helicopters that the Times says were employed early Thursday morning when Spears was committed for psychiatric examination. The heavy police presence held a squadron of media slimeballs at bay....

Having worked her way through all the men in L.A. and Manhattan, Paris Hilton, the sexually voracious, bony-shouldered pothead philanthropist, has turned her attention to women in a big way, according to Page Six.

Reportedly, she was spotted Tuesday night "making out" with Elisha Cuthbert, a star of 24, at a club in New York's meatpacking district, only days after days after table dancing at a lesbian bar and attending "lesbian events" in Los Angeles with Courtney Semel, whom Page Six suggests is Lindsay Lohan's recently jilted girlfriend.

Someone who witnessed Hilton and Cuthbert going at it told the paper: "They were drinking and dancing, and all of suddenly they just started kissing." The onlooker said the smooching lasted "about a minute."

"Cuthbert's rep, who was not at the club, denies the story, although several witnesses confirmed they saw the face-suck," the paper said.

Semel lavished her attention on Hilton, one of Page Six's sources says, because she's upset that Lohan was in New York with Stavros Niarchos, a name that most assuredly means something to people who regularly read Page Six.

Early this morning, "more than a dozen motorcycle officers and a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance swept through the front gates of Spears' hilltop Studio City residence," reports the Los Angeles Times. A police helicopter hovered overhead. Officers inside the home radioed to commanders that"the package is on the way out."




The Times story says the Studio City street on which she lives was jammed for several hours preceding the operation with the vehicles of "journalists and photographers," so clearly someone tipped the jackals off.

I shudder to think of the breathless, gleeful saturation coverage filling the pages of the scummy TMZ site.

At 6:38 p.m. Monday, Pacific time, TMZ posted the "breaking news" item above on its website.

We're posting it in its entirety because it is so stomach churning:

"Britney's Back at Home!" the headline screams.

The news item:

This is a news item?

No. This is harassment, plain and simple. This is hounding a disturbed young woman past the point of all that is decent. Britney Spears needs time to mend, time away from the paparazzi, away from opportunistic TV shrinks, away from TMZ.

TMZ must stop.

This isn't the first time we've addressed the issue of hurtful media intrusions. It won't be the last. We're heartened to see that we are not alone. Leonard Pitts addressed in the issue in his column yesterday.

We would hope that TMZ and other media gossips would recognize on their own that they've gone too far. It is up to us, the public they serve, to tell them.

TMZ must stop!

Ok, Gang. This has to stop.

Our fascination with celebrity long ago morphed into something sick and degrading for all involved but now, all too often, it has sunk to the level where we are little different from deviant scavengers skulking about the scene of car wrecks while the passengers inside are dying. They cry out for help while we poke around for souvenirs.

If that description reminds you of the death of Princess Diana, the evocation is deliberate.

The behavior of the paparazzi in that instance was beyond the pale — both in literally driving her to her death and then in making sure they profited from it by capturing it in pictures. But their shame is our shame. Because they did it for us, to feed our hunger. We are like junkies, vampires, always in need of more — more titillation,  more sordidness, more accidents, more suffering, more gore.

Where will it end?

What happened literally with Diana's death continues to play out figuratively every day as we make entertainment out of another human being's psychic suffering. That is what we are doing with Britney Spears.

It has been apparent for quite some time. The flashings, the head-shaving, the clear signs of excessive drinking and of drug use, the previous public meltdowns and embarrassments — these all were signs of a person in need of help, a person for whom the constant public scrutiny seemingly had become part of the destructive swirl in such a way that we no longer were merely observers.

We were in cars and on motorbikes giving chase, snapping pictures as she wildly careened out of control.

This has to stop.

TMZ isn't the cause of the phenomenon and is far from the only perpetrator, but it has become the most visible symbol of a lucrative culture of exploitation, pandering and sordidness. It is chasing Spears and her troubled celebrity compatriots through the tunnels, and it is doing it for us.

We must tell it to stop, give up the chase, before we find ourselves gawking at the scene of another crash with blood on our hands.

About the only thing we hate more than talentless, ignorant celebrity skanks are the wretched men and women who cover them, especially the photographers and videographers who earn their living lurking outside the places where the rich and famous go, heartlessly hounding their prey...when they aren't gazing forlornly through the glass wishing they were inside where the pretty people are.

Or, at least, that's how we like to think of them.

Now US Weekly, that paragon of journalism, reports that one of the photography weasels may have ventured in out of the cold and into the arms of...Britney Spears.

Now, we've said for some time that Britney clearly is troubled and so should be left alone by hacks (like us) who like to poke fun. This may be the clearest sign yet that she's in need of serious intervention.

The magazine reports that Spears and the photographer — who inexplicably is identified only as Adnan — holed up in a room at Los Angeles' Peninsula Hotel "until the wee hours," with him finally leaving at 6 a.m., followed three hours later by Spears, who then drove to her nearby home off Mulholland Drive.

Adnan denied that any hanky panky took place.

"We are just friends," he said. "She was just a little upset, pretty much about everything."

Supposedly things started with Adnan handing Spears his business card when she stopped, apparenty at a gas station, because she was feeling sick and had to use the restroom. He approached her because he'd heard she "liked" him.

This is from Splash News Online, another highly respected news source. They supposedly went to a hotel instead of to her home because she felt her place was too dirty.

You'll have to go there to read the rest of the sordid details. We're starting to feel sick ourselves.
