...infringement suit last week, claiming the images in Madonna's video for Hollywood--including one of the star twirling in an office chair in her lingerie--virtually duplicate 11 pictures by the influential lensman.

No such alternate explanations exist for the fame of my latest blonde obsession, hotel heiress Paris Hilton. She is so devoid of talent that she inspired equally talentless B-list comedian Jeffrey Ross to announce at Carson Daly’s Roast how proud he was to be on a stage...
