Paris Hilton thinks random gay hookups is not hot.

Sometimes I feel bad for Paris Hilton.  Granted, she’s one of my least-favorite celebrities, but it seems like she gets into trouble with regularity over stupid things (when people aren’t breaking into her house).  During New York Fashion Week, Paris Hilton was caught on tape making anti-gay remarks.  While riding with a friend in the back of a cab, an audio clip of 50 seconds of Hilton making derogatory remarks about gay people was captured, or so the story goes.  I think Hilton is actually a victim here.

I hate to do this, but I have to defend Paris Hilton here.  What she said and what was reported are two different things, and her quote is taken out of context.  When talking to her friend–an openly gay male model–in the back of the cab about his use of gay hookup app Grindr (which helps you find the closest available gay man for a hookup), Hilton said the following:  “They’re disgusting.  Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.  I would be so scared if I were a gay guy.  You’ll, like, die of AIDS.”

Are the remarks stupid?  Probably, since she can be a pretty dumb girl.  Are they perfectly reasonable?  Of course.  I seriously doubt Hilton hates gay people, or wanted to defame gay people, but using an app to find the closest available person for sex is just tempting fate when it comes to catching diseases.    The most common way for men to get HIV/AIDS is via anal sex.  Hooking up with anonymous strangers is also gross, no matter what your gender or orientation.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
