AP Tries to Live Paris-Free, Fails Immediately
There are certainly moments when we wish we never again had to write about Paris' birthday parties, kinkajou attacks, or petty feuds. Apparently, we're not the only ones. Recently the Associated Press got so sick of writing about the heiress that they banned her completely from the newswire.

Palin: AP Did "Opposition Research" on Going Rogue
Sarah Palin blasted the Associated Press yesterday for doing "opposition research," more commonly known as fact-checking, on her new book Going Rogue.
"Amazingly, but not surprisingly, the AP somehow nabbed a copy of the book before it was released," she said. "They're now erroneously reporting on the book's contents and are repeating many of the same things they spewed during the campaign and afterwards."
Top US Officials Approved Torture — Do You Care?
So by now many of you have heard about evidence that top Bush Administration officials participated in explicit conversations in the White House regarding torture techniques to be used on suspected terrorists. Vice President Dick Cheney, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Secretary of State Colin Powell, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld sat around — in a series of meetings of potential war-crime defendants — discussing specific methods of harsh interrogation, and issuing their approval.
The Associate Press reports that CIA officials demonstrated tactics to "make sure the small group of 'principals' fully understood what the al-Qaeda detainees would undergo.
HFPA Luncheon: Charlize Theron
Charlize is always a class act. I don't know if it's the green sheen of her Fab Stella McCartney frock or those killer black sandals but she is looking good at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association luncheon in Beverly Hills. I never noticed how pretty her eyes were until now.
Gangbangers Go Gruesome in the Name of Beauty
You might not want to read this story while eating your lunch. (And even if you're not chowing down, this news could make you sick to your stomach.) In a horrifying move seemingly plucked from the plot of Fight Club — you know where this is going — a gang in Peru has been killing people, draining the fat from the corpses , and attempting to sell it on the black market for use in cosmetics.
Police suspect that the fat in question was sold to European cosmetic companies, but there's been no solid confirmation so far.
Celeb Style: Evan Rachel Wood
Evan Rachel has this unique ability to turn everything into chic. Take her Gucci polka-dot dress at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association luncheon in LA. While most wear polka-dots in a lighthearted, sometimes silly manner, Evan Rachel does it so seriously, so elegantly.
Eva, Chris, and Emmy Strut Their Stuff at the HFPA Luncheon
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association held its annual installation luncheon yesterday at the Beverly Hills Hotel in LA. Eva Longoria took a break from hosting her own parties to attend, while the secretly-married-but-now-divorcing Emmy Rossum was lovely in white. Teen Choice Action Actress winner Jordana Brewster went to her second big event of the week, looking cheerful in her printed outfit.
Who's Right? AP and Hope Artist in Copyright Fight
Barack Obama's image has inspired street art around the country, but the most famous vandal can't even get credit for his creation.
Shepard Fairey, the street artist behind the "Hope" poster, became the target of an AP lawsuit last week. The news agency says it owns the rights to the hopeful poster because its photographer took the original photo of Barack Obama, and it wants credit and compensation from Fairey.
Study: Young People Check Email While Checking News, Duh!
The AP conducted a study in an attempt to figure out how best to get the news to young adults. The international study found that young adults are experiencing news fatigue, and overall information overload thanks to the Internet. Participants were also distracted from focusing on news because they were almost always multitasking with activities like reading email.
HFPA Luncheon: Jennifer Lopez
Compared to some of her latest red-carpet looks, Jennifer looks a little washed out here. Don't get me wrong, I still think she looks glam in her lace shift dress, but she could have dazzled even more with some colored accessories and brighter makeup. What do you think?
