Paris Hilton Confirms Cy Waits Break Up On Lopez Tonight — Remains Classy

You know when you go through a painful breakup and you spend most of your time bad-mouthing your ex to anyone who will listen?  Well, Paris Hilton is not in that club.  Though the press often picks on her for being famous for nothing,” I have to give her major kudos for the way she handles her breakups.  I imagine that if I was wronged on any level, I’d take great enjoyment from using the late-night circuit to bash my ex.  As a guilt-ridden Jew, though,  I’d certainly self-loathe shortly thereafter.  Hilton appeared on Lopez Tonight, and Lopez showed a disturbing fight between Hilton and her then boyfriend, Cy Waits, in which Waits’ consistent jealousy reaches a boiling point that results in Hilton slapping him in the face.  Clearly, these two were not meant to be.  But instead of lambasting him, Hilton was kind, saying, that “the relationship just ran its course.”  Who would think I’d ever call Paris Hilton classy? Watch the fight below.

‘The World According to Paris’ — A Watchable Train Wreck

Paris Hilton’s new show is an absolute train wreck — and I loved every minute of it. While I usually try to keep this blog positive, I’ll make an exception for Hilton, who is such an enigma of horribleness — I can’t take my eyes off of her. In case you make the mistake of avoiding the attached episode below, I’ll give you some nutshell plot points. First, she is friends with Brooke Mueller, who I actually felt sorry for throughout the episode. Unlike Paris, Brooke might have a soul, as evidenced by her relationship with her personal assistant/best friend, who Paris hates and Brooke loves. In an attempt to squash their tension, Brooke asks her assistant to talk to Paris. Paris won’t engage, followed by a voice-over which says, “is this an episode of Gossip Girl? As if cornering me in the stairwell is going to make me like her more.” Later in the episode Paris has a fight with her boyfriend, Cy Waits, who discovered inappropriate text messages between Paris and another guy. And just when I thought her sadness over their fight provided evidence that she’s a human being, my hopes were squashed by another horrific voice-over comment, where Paris says, “[my] baby voice has always gotten me what I wanted. But I don’t know if it’s going to work this time.” Apparently, it did work. Cy forgives her just as the episode ends. Man — I sure can’t wait for next week (and no, I am not being sarcastic).
