Paris Hilton Makes Homophobic Comments, Proclaims Most Gay Men 'Probably Have AIDS'


Paris Hilton is feeling the heat after an audio recording of the hotel heiress claiming that "most" gay men on Grindr "probably have AIDS" during a taxi ride conversation surfaced.
As Radar Online reports, the audio was reportedly recorded by a taxi driver on Sept. 7 in New York, during Hilton's Fashion Week visit to the city. During a conversation with a friend about Grindr, the popular social app for gay men, the 31-year-old starlet loudly proclaims, "Gay guys are the horniest people in the world...they're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."
After the friend briefly describes a gay man's use of Grindr to find casual sex, Hilton then concludes, "I would be so scared if I was a gay guy...you'll, like, die of AIDS."
You can listen to the full audio on RadarOnline here (Warning: There is graphic language).
A publicist for Hilton quickly released a statement about the tape. "Paris Hilton’s comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life threatening disease," the rep is quoted as saying. "The conversation became heated, after a close gay friend told her in a cab ride, a story about a gay man who has AIDS and is knowingly having unprotected sex. He also discussed a website that encourages random sex by gay men with strangers. As she was being shown the website her comments were in reference to those people promoting themselves on the site."
Stressing that only a portion of the star's comments were recorded, the publicist then noted, "Paris Hilton is a huge supporter of the gay community and would never purposefully make any negative statements about anyone’s sexual orientation.”

Music: Adele Adds 007 To Her Oeuvre

Movie website Total Film has reportedly confirmed that the 24-year-old British singer-songwriter is recording the theme song to the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, which premieres Oct. 26 and hits U.S. theaters Nov. 9.
Total Film reports that Adele’s track will be called “Skyfall” — in keeping with the tradition that Bond theme songs mirror the title of the movie, from “Goldfinger” to “Live and Let Die” — and that the singer “had been spotted at an MGM recording studio a couple of weeks ago.” Rumors of Adele’s involvement, Total Film stated, “can now be confirmed as fact” — although the website failed to state who confirmed the information. Sony Pictures, when reached for comment by NewsFeed, was unable to confirm the story.
If and when the rumor is confirmed, it will mark the first release by the celebrated singer since 2011’s megaselling 21. In the intervening year, Adele has undergone throat microsurgery and recently announced that she’s pregnant — and in fact may be expecting the same week the movie debuts in the U.K. The singer herself quite possibly dropped a major hint about Skyfall in an interview she gave on British TV last year. “I’m going back in the studio in November, fingers crossed,” she told Jonathan Ross. “Well, this is actually a theme that I’ve got to do. Wow, that’s really giving something away.
British bookmaker William Hill, for one, doesn’t require any further convincing: it announced on Monday it would start paying out to customers who placed money on her singing the title track. “The way our punters were backing her, it seems as though Adele was going to be the only option to sing the Skyfall theme,” a spokesman said. “We are now unfortunately shaken, not stirred by this particular Bond battering.”

Film: The Original Ending To "Fatal Attraction"

In 1987, director Adrian Lyne released the Michael Douglas/Glenn Close classic, "Fatal Attraction" to critical and box office mega success. What many don't realize is that the last scene of the film that features a knife wielding Glenn Close attacking Anne Archer's character was shot 6 months after the original ending was nixed due to a lukewarm reaction by the original screening audience. They wanted to see 'Alex' get what they thought she deserved.

I think the original ending, which is posted below, is much more haunting whereas the ending that is eventually used is the edge-of-your-seat crowd-pleaser.

What do you think?
