In light of her arrest Friday in Las Vegas for possession of cocaine, Paris Hilton is persona non-grata at the Wynn and Encore resorts on the strip.  According to People magazine, the heiress has been banned from their nightclubs and her boyfriend, Cy Waits, who was with Paris on the night in question, is no longer an employee of Wynn.  While Hilton has been charged with felony possession, Waits has not yet been charged, however, according to the arrest report, he failed a sobriety test.  Waits had been recently promoted to Co-Chief of Nightlife Operations at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore. …

Paris Hilton remains in full denial mode. She tweeted, “These rumors going around are so ridiculous, untrue and cruel”. Adding, “I’m not going to even pay attention to them because I know the truth.” 

Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer has fired off a cease and desist order to Lindsay’s dad ordering him to stop selling things that are hers. At the center of it all seems to be Michael Lohan’s attempt to turn a buck by selling excerpts from diary entries Lindsay made back in 2007 just before she did a stint in rehab.

Jerry Lewis told “Inside Edition” that if he saw Lindsay Lohan, he’d “smack her in the mouth.” And if that didn’t do any good, he’d SPANK HER. He said Lindsay and celebrities like Paris Hilton are like children begging for help.

We’ve seen who will cut a rug on the next “Dancing With the Stars.” But do you know who turned ABC down?  According to a source involved with casting, the network approached Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg to join the dance card for the show’s 11th cycle but was unable to secure him. The network also lobbied unsuccessfully for Sylvester Stallone, political commentator Ann Coulter, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the real Erin Brockovich, billionaire Richard Branson, comic actor Tim Allen and former TV darling Suzanne Somers.

Each star makes an initial $125,000 for signing, three weeks of rehearsal before the premiere and competing in the first two episodes, even if the cast member is cut after the first dance.

The breakdown for the remaining weeks is $10,000 an episode for Weeks 3 and 4, $20,000 an episode for Weeks 5 and 6, $30,000 an episode for Weeks 7 and 8, $50,000 an episode for the final two weeks.

Initially, they rehearse “six hours a day, every day,” says a source. “Then it moves to eight hours a day. If they don’t comply with the entire schedule, the network will deduct it from their paycheck.”
