10 Ridiculous Celebrity Excuses

Paris Hilton isn't the first one to grasp at straws

(NEWSER) - Paris Hilton really, really thought that cocaine in her (er, a friend's ) purse was chewing gum . In her honor, PopEater lists nine more equally ridiculous tall tales celebs have dreamed up when they needed an excuse:

Britney Spears: Why did she drive with her infant son on her lap instead of in a car seat? Because that's how they do it where she's from, she once explained: "I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive. We're country."
Eddie Murphy: He was spotted with a hooker in his car, but only because he has a soft spot for prostitutes. "It's not the first hooker I've helped out," he explained, insisting that he pulled over because the woman (who actually turned out to be a transsexual) was crying.

10 Craziest Celeb Diets

Could you survive on strawberries, lettuce, and edamame?

(NEWSER) - Snooki of the Jersey Shore is going on a cookie diet—which sounds downright yummy compared to some of the other crazy diets she and her fellow celebrities have tried. (In high school, Snooks would “suck on ice cubes for hours” instead of eating, a friend says.) The Frisky found 9 more similarly insane-sounding regimens:

Mariah Carey: Her purple food diet involves eating grapes, plums, beetroots—and nothing but—for three days each week.
Victoria Beckham: Insisted the Spice Girls subsist on strawberries, lettuce, and edamame; now, when she goes to lunch with Katie Holmes, they split a small salad—sans dressing.

'00s Biggest Celeb Scandals

Jon and Kate Gosselin haven't always dominated the headlines

(NEWSER) - You may have forgotten all about it, thanks to the neverending coverage of the Gosselin divorce or Tiger Woods’ mistresses, but there was a time—in the last 10 years—when Winona Ryder’s shoplifting was the story of the hour. The Frisky lists the top 10 celebrity scandals of the decade:

R. Kelly: He was acquitted on charges of sex with a minor and child porn, but that didn’t make the idea of him making a sex tape with a 14-year-old go away.
Michael Jackson: In 2003, Jackson was accused—again—of child molestation, resulting in the trial of the decade.

Signs the Mean Girl Era Is Over

Down with Paris and Britney's antics, up with Taylor's goody-goody ones

(NEWSER) - Gone are the good old days when tabloids were filled with stories of Paris Hilton getting arrested and Britney Spears shaving her head—the world of celebrities is now ruled by do-gooders like Taylor Swift. You may rejoice momentarily, but “you’ll miss Paris Hilton now that she’s gone,” promises Richard Rushfield. He offers up the evidence of a new era, on Gawker :

Paris Hilton: Her biggest moment in the spotlight in nearly a year was when she released a shampoo line.

Yet Another Photo 'Oops' for Miley

Plus, Paris Hilton's new boytoy doesn't take her seriously, and more

(NEWSER) - Miley Cyrus, star of such photo scandals as “racy Vanity Fair shoot” and “slanty-eyes group shot,” is going for the trilogy, reports the Sun. Adam Shankman, the 44-year-old director of her latest film, posted two suggestive shots of her on Twitter, but took them down when the backlash started. Elsewhere:

Paris Hilton is “just another shag” to soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, his ex tells the Sun. “After dumping me I don't know how many there have been. Eighty thousand?”
