WHAT FOOD OR DRINK ITEM CAN YOU NOT GO A DAY WITHOUT?

MG: Cheese. I live for cheese. I don't know why, but I just need it. I went to Paris where it's totally okay to eat cheese for breakfast and I almost never left. Cheese on pizza, nachos, by itself, on a sandwich or just really good brie on a cracker with some spicy jelly ... Oh god, I just got so hungry.

CR: Crystal Light because it helps me stay hydrated and goes great with vodka.

IF YOU COULD PICK ANY CELEBRITY TO GET TOGETHER WITH, DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE ?

MG: It would be Cindy Morgan in 1980. She plays Lacey Underall in the movie Caddyshack. The scene where Chevy Chase gives her the massage and does the fake shot. I was too young to see it when it came out, but I remember the first time I saw that scene a few years ago, thinking to myself, I want to live in this scene. I heard they totally improvised it. Chevy Chase was a charming devil in his day! I'm not one of those guys that's super into Caddyshack. I've never even played golf. But the one time I saw it, I was all about that scene.

CR: I'd choose Justin Timberlake because it's Justin Timberlake. I don't really think that answer needs any explanation.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST KISS. DISH!

MG: Fifth grade and it was a doozie. Her name was Gwen. I bought her a ring and asked her to be my girlfriend. She said yes. It lasted a few hours. It's painful and I don't want to go into it, but we really had something (haha). It's a good thing it was a good kiss, because I was a super nerd and didn't get kissed again until high school.

CR: It was with my first real boyfriend, Brad. I was in high school and we were at a "party" in the middle of a country road because that's what you do in super small towns. So romantic.

WHAT STYLE OR CLOTHING ITEM DO YOU WISH YOU COULD PULL OFF?

MG: I would really like to wear ripped-up T-shirts more, but I'm really pale. Like, glow in the dark pale. It's hard to sleep at night with all of the glowing light emanating from my baby-fine Irish skin.

CR: Old school Britney Spears. I can't pull it off because I'm not as awesome as her and it really would not be cool in 2010.

WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU PLAY IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE WORLD?

MG: I love zombies so much. 28 Days Later remains in my top five movies of all time. I want to be the guy running from them, though. Maybe surviving quietly off canned food with a great haircut and some killer boots. I also need a really hot, special lady to sport those killer boots for, reproduce the human race with and eventually sacrifice myself for in a heart-wrenching scene where I stay behind to slow down.

CR: I'd be an ass-kicking heroine so we could get everything back together and normal again.

PARIS FOR PREZ

Printable version of this story

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- It was the snit heard 'round the world. The snarky, scantily-clad video response that got pundits tongues wagging about something other than politics, at least until their wives saw them. Maybe its echo has faded from the news, but it still makes me wake up screaming in the middle of the night.

Paris Hilton says she's running for President.

The vapid blond heiress and star of "The Simple Life," announced her candidacy in a spoof video on FunnyOrDie.com. Hilton said she was running because that "wrinkly white-haired guy" - John McCain, for those of you emerging from under your rocks - used her image in a television spot against his opponent, presumptive President of the United States, Barack Obama.

"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton, and I'm a celebrity too," she said without a sense of irony or shame. "Only I'm not from the olden days, and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot."

Oh man, this is really bad. I've always been a big supporter of third party candidates, but my one litmus test is whether they can even spell "candidate." And that they haven't starred in an Internet sex video/ I swear, if she wins, I'm moving to Canada with Alec Baldwin, unless he chickens out like he did last time. (Big wussy. The guy swore up and down he would move to Canada if George Bush became President, but we're stuck with him and his 17 brothers.) Still, I don't think she's got a real shot, so I'll probably be here for a while.

"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which means I guess I'm running for President," she continued. Yeah, right. By that logic, since her boyfriend used her in that sex video, I guess that would make her a slut. . .

Uh, oh. This is worse than I thought! Do they get the NFL in Canada? Can I get the Dish Network to work up there?

"So thanks for the endorsement, white-haired dude, and I want America to know I'm, like, totally ready to lead."

Oh, good, as long as you're totally ready. I mean, we wouldn't want someone who was , like, only concerned about whether certain other world leaders are, like, hot, or whether the White House clashes with her outfits. She'll probably appoint Extreme Makerover's Ty Pennington the Secretary of the Department of the Interior to make sure.

"I'll see you at the White House," she concluded. "Oh, and I might paint it pink."

Looks like I've got a tough decision to make. Do I go for the big city or the small town? I've been to Toronto, and it's a nice city with a strong arts community. But if I lived in a smaller town, I'd be closer to nature and some really good fishing. Dryden, Ontario is gorgeous in the summer.

But even as I pace the floor and gnaw on my fingernails, I have to admit, her energy policy made some sense.

"We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight, while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way, offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved. I'll see you at the debates, bitches."

But then she, like, totally shot herself in the foot when she said she was considering Rihanna, the R&B artist, as her vice presidential nominee.

Come on! Rihanna?! Are you kidding me? Everyone knows she doesn't have the foreign affairs experience needed to re-establish the U.S. as a world leader. Plus, she was born in Barbados, so she's not a natural-born American citizen, which means she can't take on that role.

While some people would say Britney Spears, Hilton's fellow celeb and John McCain commercial target, is the emotional favorite, I think Cameron Diaz is the better choice. She can shore up the Hispanic vote and improve relations with Latin America. Of course, you'll also need Ashton Kutcher to head up the Department of Homeland Security (Hey Iran, you've been punk'd!). And what do you think of Scarlett Johansen as the Secretary of State... ?

Uh, excuse me. I don't know what came over me. If anything, I'm worrying too much about something that will never happen. Hilton is only 27, eight years too young to run for president, which means I don't have to worry about a global disaster for eight more years. But with her sordid past, I doubt she could even be elected dogcatcher of Putnam County.

Besides, I'm hoping Lindsey Lohan will be out of rehab and ready to run for Senate by 2016.

Report blames celebs for risky teen sex - Dose.ca

Posted: 10 Feb 2010 10:54 PM PST

Teens in the UK are facing a sexual health crisis fueled by drugs, booze and risky sex, according to a new report warning of "disturbing" increases in sexually-transmitted infections.

The Independent Advisory Group on Sexual Health and HIV said Friday young people are being influenced by celebrity culture to abuse alcohol and drugs and then make unsafe sexual choices.

The report blasted "publicity and coverage of sex, drugs and excessive drinking by 'celebrities' and 'pop idols' and by characters in 'soaps,' making it an acceptable lifestyle."

The advisory group found the UK has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and STDs in Europe, saying restrictions on condom advertising on television and a lack of sex education in schools are contributing to the problems.

The group recommended the government investigate alcohol advertising aimed at young people, as well as the "sexualization" of children's toys.

Over the last 12 years, the rates of chlamydia and HIV have risen 300 per cent in the UK. Cases of syphilis have gone up 2,000 per cent.

The group's findings come on the heels of a UNICEF report ranking Britain last among 21 wealthy countries for children's well being.
