Stereohyped's theme of the day is obviously involves former big-money rappers that are now famous for something else (in Hammer's case, I think we can all agree that the parachute pant is his legacy) speaking out in favor of our nation's troops. Flavor Flav made his point clear on his way out of Mr. Chow's in LA last night. And I quote:

"Bush wanna be fly, tell that mother f**ker to send the troops home from Iraq!"

Flav also wasn't too happy about Ms. Hilton getting more attention than the troops in Iraq, but defended her plight anyway, telling our camera, "Paris is still the mother f**kin' bomb and she's gonna blow up sh*t!"

Maybe we should let the troops stay in Iraq, because, if Flavor Flav is to be believed (and why wouldn't he be!?!), Paris Hilton will be turning the homefront into a war zone momentarily.

Wait, why am I talking about Paris Hilton and Iraq in the same post? Blame Flav.

O.J. Simpson, living a dream existence that consists of frequent rounds of golf and the habitual avoidance of comeuppance, sees a little something of his own life in Paris Hilton's current court troubles and the accompanying media frenzy. Except for the obvious fact that he didn't go to jail for what he did.

"When Paris Hilton was going to jail last week, more people knew about that than knew that we were sending people into space that day," Simpson said in a phone interview from Miami. "It has replaced what is real news. There was always a place for it, but it was [gossip writer] Rona Barrett. Now it is the equivalent of Edward R. Murrow reporting it today."

Simpson, who spoke on his cell phone while returning from an early morning round of golf, said he still gets up to five calls a week from reporters seeking comment — but declines virtually all of them. "People ask me about Paris Hilton, when [NFL running back] Ricky Williams was in trouble, Pac Man Jones," he said. "Everything [Hilton] went through, I know about. But why do I want to talk to the media? If I comment, it becomes a story."

Right. Don't comment to the media! Instead, write the most tasteless book ever. That surely wouldn't become a story.

Chudney Ross, daughter of Diana, seems to be trying her hardest to be Paris Hilton, minus the jail and psychological problems. In her blog she describes her ultimate socialite dream day, during which she chats with Pamela Anderson, eats lunch with Jessica Simpson, shops with Sienna Miller and dances with Britney Spears. I would encourage Chudney not to give up on her dreams. As soon as Paris Hilton gets out of jail, Nicole Richie will probably be headed there, and, last I checked, Paris and buddy Kim Kardashian are on the outs. That leaves a big opening for a vaguely ethnic child of privilege like herself to slide right in. Good luck!

But This Time She'll Actually Stay In Jail

pariscrying.jpg
I'm kind of horrified to be writing my second Paris Hilton post in as many days, but blame all of the black public figures out there — of the entertainment-variety and otherwise — who are out enjoying the warm weather or sleeping off hangovers or actually working instead of making news for me to write about. Plus, TMZ's description of what happened after the very pissed off judge ordered Paris back to jail is pretty priceless.

Hilton left the courtroom in tears, screaming, "Mom, Mom, Mom." Hilton was also heard saying "It's not right."

One witness described the scene as: Paris was "physically escorted" out of the courtroom by a female deputy.

Priceless but also kind of sad. This is a person who has not had to take responsibility for anything she's done in her entire life, and she simply has no idea how. And young girls, of all races and ethnicities, think she's hot. It bodes well for the future.

    Paris Hilton's out of jail after just three days, barely cracking the surface of her 23-day sentence. I typically avoid discussing Paris, aka Evil Incarnate, on Stereohyped (generally, she's completely off-topic) but I'm too annoyed to let this slip. Three days? I bet she hasn't even removed her fake eyelashes from the MTV Movie Awards yet.

    Why did she get released, you ask? Her health. Unless herpes is suddenly a valid reason for being released from jail, I call bullshit. Or maybe she was allergic to the black people there. She doesn't have the greatest history with us.

    BlackBerry Curve From AT&T Launch Party

    att_reginaking.jpg

    Little comes between celebrities and their personal electronics, which is why they are posing at the launch party for a new BlackBerry with the same enthusiasm as they would on the red carpet at the Oscars. Unfortunately for them, none of these stars are Oscar-caliber — although some have more potential than others. I guess that's why they are this happy to be at a cell phone party.

    Something tells me the judge presiding over Foxy Brown's South Florida case won't be as generous as say, Paris Hilton's, which is why Brown probably should have made a plea in court this morning. Alas, she did not, and she faces up to a year in jail when she returns in September for a trial.

    There's little that can be said about either Brown or her prison prospects that's positive. I can't even muster up a "good luck," mainly because I think she could use a little bit of jail to help her grow up.

  • eve.jpg
    Yesterday, Eve sat down with blogger/journalist Clay Cane to discuss rumors of her sexuality, interracial dating, her recent arrest and her take on Barack vs. Hillary. I'll forgive Cane for not knowing that Paula Patton is black, because he really got Eve to open up.

    To give you a short summary, she brushes lesbian rumors off but has nothing but love for her gay and lesbian fans. A gay man will never succeed in hip hop. She is an Obama fan, but because of his humanity, not his race. Don Imus doesn't ride around listening to Snoop, so he shouldn't point a finger at hip hop. If women don't like being objectified in hip hop videos, then women should stop appearing in them. Maya Angelou is making her rethink the n-word. Sean Penn is a good, platonic friend of hers. Finally, despite Eve's recent DUI arrest, Paris Hilton's jail sentence doesn't scare her because Paris Hilton "did something wrong."

    I find all of this interesting and valid except for her last point, which is kind of wrought with denial, don't you think?

    And Can't Get Up

    What do our favorite stars have to look forward to in their old age? According to the NY Daily News, Alicia Keys will look like something like Lena Horne by the time she's a grandma. Jay-Z, unfortunately, favors Uncle Ben. As for Paris Hilton, let's just say her external will start to reflect her internal as she gets on in years. Check out more senior citizen versions of celebs after the jump.

    For good reason, Prince is thoroughly unimpressed with today's music and the people who perform it (except Beyonce; he loves her). First he caused a stir and caught some innocuous beef from Justin Timberlake, when he said that "sexy had never left." Most recently, he humiliated Paris Hilton and ran her off the stage, according to US Weekly.

    According to a witness, Prince was performing at his Las Vegas venue when he spotted the 26-year-old hotel heiress in the audience and invited her to join him on stage.

    Paris reportedly leapt on stage, only to have Prince hand her the mic and tell the audience, “Let’s see if she can really sing.”

    The “Simple Life” star reportedly stormed offstage, then left the club two songs later.

    .

    We'll see an impromptu live performance from Paris Hilton on the same day we see Prince leave the house without platform heels.
