ShowBiz: Gossip: SCARLETT JOHANSSON ACCUSES PRESS OF 'UNBELIEVABLE SEXISM' TOWARDS HILLARY CLINTON (SARAH PALIN?... APPARENTLY, NOT) [2008-10-10 01:00:00]
Scarlett Johansson accused the press of "unbelievable sexism" towards Hillary Clinton.
The actress tells Cosmo Girl she was shocked by the treatment Clinton received from the press. ScarJo said, "We still live in a country that's sexist and racist. Those are issues that we deal with whether we want to ignore it or not.
"Seeing how the media portrayed Hillary with unbelievable sexism - some of the things that people were saying were just so overwhelming. You just couldn't believe the names that they were calling her!"
But Scarlett thinks American culture will soon change - because she met so many politicized young people on a tour of U.S. colleges.
She adds, "These kids are just so well-informed and so interested. There were really obscure questions and debates that they wanted to lead - I couldn't believe it!
"And it was amazing how many of these kids turned out. I'm 23, and all of these kids are probably between 16 to 24. They're my peers, so we can all talk on the same wavelength. We're all connected by the same issues."

ShowBiz: Gossip: IF PARIS WAS PRESIDENT (GOD HELP US) [2008-10-10 01:00:00]
Want to know what the world would be like if Paris Hilton was president? Well the heiress revealed her platform in an interview with Harpers Bazaar magazine.
On her presidential style: “I pledge to support the American workforce by wearing only American designers: Calvin Klein between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Donna Karan the rest of the year. Unless I wake up and the day is screaming for me to put on a bikini for my fellow Americans. Country first.”
On her vice president: “Rihanna, of course. She’s hot.”
What changes she would make to the White House: “In these trying economic times, I believe the White House should have a minimalist touch: open floor plan, glass and steel, throw pillows, and an infinity pool. The inaugural balls will be replaced with an inaugural Rock Band party. For expert-level players only. Don’t even think about getting on drums. I play drums.”
On her presidential platform: “I will carry out a foreign-policy platform that will transform America’s role in the world to that of a proactive, not reactive, superpower that will use diplomacy and incentives to head off trouble in unstable regions before they unravel out of control. I will also be wearing platform shoes when I meet with foreign dignitaries to accentuate my well-toned calves.”
On who will appoint her cabinet posts: “I won’t have a cabinet; I will have a closet. A giant walk-in closet with all styles of advisers, like Michael Kors, Kanye West, Diane von Furstenberg, Naughty by Nature, Stephen Hawking, Madonna, Karl Lagerfeld, and, of course, Tinkerbell.”
Who will stay in the Lincoln bedroom: “I want to put an end to only large financial contributors, lobbyists, inside-the-Beltway fat cats, and corporate bigwigs getting to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom. I will keep that room open only for people for whom it is too late to drive after attending one of my secret-underground-bunker-after-hours parties. ”
On what advice she would give Sarah Palin: “my advice to Sarah Palin is, you’ve got a hot bod; don’t keep it to yourself. Why wear a pantsuit when you can wear a swimsuit? Welcome to the Lower 48, girlfriend.” Story

The 37 year-old faces a slew of SICK charges in Orange County, California (five felony counts of forcible rape, two felony counts of forcible sodomy, two felony counts of sodomy in concert by force, seven felony counts of forcible oral copulations, one felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force.)
ShowBiz: Gossip: HEFNER'S NEW TWINS HAVE A RAP SHEET [2008-10-10 01:00:00]
Hugh Hefner's new gal-pals had some legal trouble in Florida. Police records show that 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon are on probation for a battery bust in St. Petersberg.
The sisters were arrested in the early morning hours of Jan. 10 and booked on suspicion of felony aggravated battery. They were released from custody after posting $10,000 bonds and were later given probation and ordered to pay restitution for the incident, the details of which have not been determined just yet.
(TMZ reports: the twins went out after work with one of their co-workers to a house party. Kristina allegedly started arguing with the pal, and Karissa came up behind her and hit the pal over the head with a bottle of beer and they both "jumped her." The woman suffered a concussion.)
Prior to that run-in with the law, Karissa Shannon was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery last November.
ShowBiz: Gossip: GOOD-GUY RYAN REYNOLDS IS RUNNING THE NYC MARATHON [2008-10-10 01:00:00]
Ryan Reynolds has signed up for the New York marathon. It's for his father, Jim, who is battling Parkinson's -- and Michael J. Fox, as well.
And he'd like your support. Here's an excerpt of what he says:
"Let it be known at the outset, I am not a runner. I am a running joke. Waking up at 4:30 am and jogging anywhere from 11 to 23 miles has been nothing short of horrifying. ... The person I have to beat is the guy I was last week. The person I was yesterday. Indescribably worse, those affected by Parkinson's wage a similar war in their own bodies every single day. Unlike a marathon, their struggle won't end in a shallow pool of vomit just outside Tavern On The Green while waiting for an ambulance. They continue day in and day out, silently battling away in the most personal of struggles."
