Celebrities get bored. How could they not? They get famous being or doing a certain thing and then when they get tired of just having their photos taken for no reason, they decide they better branch out and do something different so there’s another reason to have their photos taken again.

That’s our theory behind Paris Hilton's new beach club.

All employees have basic rights. We can't be chained to our desks or held as indentured servants, for example. But do we actually know enough when it comes to the federal laws that govern our workplaces? You may have rights you didn’t know you had, particularly when it comes to getting hired.

It seems like just working in the – sometimes – presence of Brad Pitt might be enough of a bonus to make any job worthwhile. But what if we told you that the ‘Moneyball’ star was actually a really awesome boss who gives his employees expensive gifts as thank-you bonuses?

It’s hard to believe that Twitter has been around for seven years. It’s also hard to believe that we have so much seemingly close access to celebrities because of it. (Even though Tina Fey still refuses to join. Hmph.)

So it might surprise you to hear that B-Carl admits, without irony, that she may have been the Lindsay Lohan of her time.

We all know that Justin Bieber is super famous. Derp. So it’s safe to say that wherever he goes, he attracts hordes of screaming -- and not always the most mature or in control of their faculties -- fans.

Ergo, it’s a bit of a mystery that a swanky Paris hotel that's accustomed to hosting celebrities wouldn't be prepared for an onslaught of Beliebers when Justin's team booked seven suites on two floors of the establishment. But that's what happened.

Bieber came. The fans came. There was noise. There were crowds. Other people who paid beaucoup bucks to stay at the hotel were annoyed.

That's when the Biebs either left or was asked to leave the hotel. The jury is out. And ... so is he.

It’s possible you're too rich and famous when, as you are healing from surgery, instead of cruising around in a regular wheelchair from the medical supply shop down the street, you commission a luxury jewelry and accessories designer to create a gold and leather wheelchair.

This is also a sign that you're Lady Gaga, and we’re probably lucky the fancy new wheelchair isn’t made entirely of bacon.

Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend and ‘The Girls Next Door’ reality star, Holly Madison, gave birth to a baby girl -- and her tasty placenta -- last week. The happy and possibly delirious mother, along with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, chose to name their first-born child Rainbow, even though neither of them even existed in the 1960s.
