  • Paris Hilton Boots Amanda Bynes Out Of VIP?

    According to reports, troubled actress Amanda Bynes was seen feuding with Paris Hilton on Thursday, November 13. The former Nickelodeon star and Easy A actress was seen being escorted from the VIP area of LA nightclub 10ak after she and a male friend tried to join the heiress, who was not happy about the intrusion. Bynes proceeded to act strangely the rest of the evening.

    A source told Page Six that Hilton was joined by Brandon Davis at the time of the incident. “Amanda tried to sit at Paris and Brandon’s table, and they were not happy about it. There was a scene, and words exchanged, before they kicked her out of their area.” The source added, “Amanda wasn’t drinking, but she was acting really weird. She stood in the middle of the club with her friend, looking really awkward, and just seemed totally out of it.”

    It’s been reported that Bynes practically idolized Hilton. She even got a puppy so she could imitate the hotel heiress-turned-DJ. “Amanda thought Paris was so glamorous when photographers would follow her around all the time,” said a Radar insider about the pet purchase. “When she got that puppy she said it was to try and be more like Paris.”

    Bynes got in trouble recently after a tape surfaced wherein she talks about wanting to kill her parents. “I want to literally like lead him into a ditch and… I haven’t decided how I’d want to murder him, because now I have like this war wound on my face, and I don’t believe in murder. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than like, slitting his throat,” Bynes said in the recording.

    According to reports, Bynes’ family wanted the tapes released because the recordings could be used as a “wake-up call for medical professionals to intervene and get her help”.

  • Facebook Continues Courting Celebs With ‘VIP’ App

    Facebook can be a great way for people to stay up to date on their favorite celebrities’ happenings. Let me stress the “can” part. It’s not always the case. A lot of it depends on if you actually see the desired content in your News Feed (you can always go right to their timeline). It also depends on if they (or their handlers) bother to post something. Really, it depends on the celebrity, and how much effort the fan puts into finding info.

    Even while there is plenty of celebrity info and media to be found on Facebook, I don’t think many would argue that Twitter is the better tool for actually engaging with these figures, and often getting real replies.

    Facebook hopes to change that as it continues to make more moves to become more Twitter-like in the public conversations sense. Recently, reports came out that the company is testing trending topics, for example. This is in addition the recently launched hashtags feature and embeddable posts.

    Now, All Things D is reporting that Facebook is testing a new “VIP” app specifically with celebrities, which encourages them to engage with fans more on Facebook similar to how they might on Twitter. Mike Isaac shares a statement from a company spokesperson:

    “We are currently testing some mobile features designed to help public figures interact with their fans. We are testing these features with a small group of partners and will share more details should we roll it out more widely.”

    It’s unclear what specific celebrities are getting access to the new app. We just know a lot of people like Vin Diesel on Facebook, so we included his image.

    It will be interesting to see if brands get access to the app eventually.
