But What Does Paris Hilton Think About Osama Bin Laden's Death?
Ding dong Bin Laden's gone, and I know what you're thinking: What does Paris Hilton have to say? And why did The Rock know about Bin Laden's death before everyone else did? Monday gossip has questions.
- Now that America has vanquished her most nefarious foe, Osama bin Laden, it is time to turn to America's greatest natural resource, celebrities, for reactions on America's most superficial medium, Twitter. Here's what Paris Hilton said: "Just landed back in LA, so happy to hear the news of Osama bin Laden's death. He was the face of terrorism and such an evil man. The world is a much better place with him not in it." Charlie Sheen: "Dead or Alive. WE PREFER DEAD! Well done SEAL team! AMERICA: #WINNING that's how we roll.... C" Jim Carrey: "Wow! They killed the Boogieman! I felt something was in the air tonight! Bin Laden era over! S'next? ?;^•" John Stamos: "'I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.' ~Mark Twain #godblessallservicemen/women" Mostly, I'm just glad to have an excuse to use the words "Paris Hilton" and "Osama bin Laden" in the same sentence.

- But the undisputed winner of the Osama Bin Laden tweet orgy was Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who apparently knew about Osama's death before everyone else did: "Just got word that will shock the world - Land of the free…home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!" When lazy President Obama finally got around to announcing it, The Rock concluded, "FINALLY… couldn't have asked for a better birthday present… AMERICA BROUGHT IT — TEAM BRING IT FOREVER PROUD." So, in case you were wondering which Navy SEAL fired the bullet that killed Bin Laden? It was actually The Rock, and he killed that motherfucker with his bare hands while screaming, "Jabroni!"

- Original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter is a celebrity trainwreck prevention advocate: "I think the one thing the Screen Actors Guild should do is, when fame first hits you, that you are required to go to therapy. Because everybody loves you. Until you realize, no, they don't really love you. They love the character and the persona." Lasso of truth! [Popeaters]

Taking a stand for baby equality. [TMZ]

I still can't figure out who this guy is, or why anyone cares, but I have been exposed to his name so many times he's starting to feel like a neighbor or distant cousin, someone you are dimly aware of and vaguely curious about, solely because you have been in his proximity (or his name's proximity) so many times.
