Nicky Hilton is being forced to take a break from planning the launch of her
be-penised line of boutique hotels, Nicky O, as she’s suing Eneliko Smith, a man she’d hired to help her develop the hotel. Nicky says Smith “held himself out as an experienced operator and marketer of boutique hotels.” Well, Smith is clearly far more experienced in matters of business than the wee Hilton, as he had the foresight to
file a patent application for the name.
Nicky is pissed — she’s asking for damages, and she wants a judge to issue an injunction prohibiting Smith from using the name. Smith claims he created the concept for the hotel, and that it’s well within his rights to apply for exclusive rights to the name.
After this is all over, Nicky will consider incorporating the business venture she’s been working on for over a year, and, if all goes well with the Miami grand opening next year, she’ll look into an insurance policy sometime in late 2008. But lest we judge too hastily, let’s remember that her older sister chugged a bottle of Grey Goose and puked on a Las Vegas stage this weekend.

From
Gatecrasher:
Which prime-time cutie could use some medical advice from her co-stars? At a recent appearance, the gossip was all about how her fingers are discolored from bulimia.
So this pretty much has to be Ellen Pompeo. I guess Sarah Chalke from Scrubs is another possibility, but I don’t think it’s her (newBecky knows better than that). Or someone on ER? Are there still people on ER? Are there still people who watch ER? Every time I see a preview for that show it catches me by surprise, shakes my reality up a bit, like, “They’re still filming that show?” If Noah Wyle had a child who was born the day ER first aired, that kid could be an executive producer today.
Every few weeks The Beet will get an email from someone upset at something that we have written. We secretly love these emails because we know that we are hitting a nerve. For the famous, and want to be famous, really any publicity is good publicity. Don’t believe me? Paris Hilton is the best example. Linsday Lohan secretly owes the paparazzi for her career. Getting your name out there is the name of the game.
The President of Kazaskstan thankfully has realized this idea that any publicity is good publicity and in an article for The Hollywood Reporter he has stated, “This film was created by a comedian so let’s laugh at it, that’s my attitude.”
Finally somebody gets that this movie is a joke. Though, “Baron Cohen’s jokes have become a public relations headache for Kazakhstan as the former Soviet state seeks to portray itself as a modern nation of well-educated professionals and a major non-OPEC oil exporter,” the President Nursultan Nazarbayev thankfully has taken the high road and simply enjoyed his country’s name recognition in the world.
If you haven’t seen this movie it is worth the hype. Plus, I heard “Babel” was the worst movie ever.
Check out the footage. Says Rosie: “If that was a straight man, if that was a cute man, if that was a guy that she didn’t question his sexuality, she would have said a different thing. To me that’s a homophobic remark.” (This is based on Ripa telling Aiken that she didn’t know where his hands had been — after he suddenly put his hand on her mouth). See, I agree with Rosie about the cute man part — Brad Pitt can put his hands inside my mouth, or really wherever he wants, no need to ask permission — but anyone else — gay, straight or Clay Aiken — is going to take some heat from me if they stick their hand on my mouth. Ripa phones in to say just that.
Many are saying that Rosie — intentionally or unintentionally — “lanced” Clay Aiken (meaning she outed him — the term comes from Lance Bass being outed by comments his boyfriend made). I mean, I think we’re all aware that Aiken’s gay, but he seems dead set on staying in the closet, and if anyone crossed the line o’ respect in all this, I think it was Rosie.
