It seems that Pamela Anderson has found an exceptional business idea to carry her legacy forward.

 

The former Baywatch babe, who is currently touring Finland with her dad, is considering opening a chain of strip clubs.

Paris Hilton has found time in her busy schedule to give Ryan Seacrest a call from prison.

 

Being in the chokey must have given some time to reflect on her existence because she seems to have realized what a massive joke she's become.

 

"I'm so much more grateful for everything that I have" says Paris "Even just to have a pillow at night or food".

 

"You know my gratitude has gone up so much and I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it. Frankly [I'm] sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way."

 

She's also been spending a lot of time feeling sorry for herself:

"I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won't even let me do that. That's how the rules are, you have to be behind glass."

And the nuggets of stupidity continue:

"I'm not a criminal, I'm not dangerous, so it makes me feel like that. It's hard but I'm stronger everyday."

So what do you call driving on a suspended license Paris?
Britney Spears needs a few bob so she trying to flog a new perfume.

 

Why anyone would want to smell like Britney Spears is beyond us and perhaps Britters knows this because she reportedly threw a massive hissy fit during a photo shoot for the perfume.

 

"There was a shoot last week in L.A. for a new perfume she's coming out with and something happened," a source tells Page Six.

 

"She got very upset and stormed out of the shoot and wouldn't come back. She is not listening to anyone and doing exactly what she wants. But sometimes she doesn't know best."

 

What do you think Britney's new perfume should be called? Answers below please.
