Turns out Paris Hilton's new shaman really is an actor, and the two are in on a big, top-secret, knee-slapping joke. Or something like that.
The duo's outing was part of a gag played on the paparazzi, and all will be explained this Sunday on E!'s new show Pop Fiction. We are told that other celebrities will be involved with pranks as well.
Hilarious. We were already planning on not watching Pop Fiction after some E! interns spammed our comments with "OMG WATCH POP FICTION!!!!111!!1" but now we will be sure to stay far away.

Get your DVRs ready! The new Lohan reality show, tentatively titled Living Lohan, will run on E! this summer. The series with follow mom Dina Lohan"as she juggles family life with business, attempting to launch 14-year-old daughter Ali's entertainment career."
Lindsay's brothers, 11-year-old Cody and 20-year-old Michael, will also appear on the show.
'The Lohans are one of the most intriguing families in the entertainment industry today,' Lisa Berger of E! said in a statement. 'This is a family that knows how to roll with the punches and come out on top. Dina is an incredibly hard-working, passionate mom that I think our viewers will find both relatable and highly entertaining.'
Yes, the Lohans are just like any other normal family: A fame-whoring mother attempts to keep her fame-whoring children out of rehab, prison and the hospital.

Forget the awards ceremony; the best Oscar action happened last night at E!'s coverage of the red carpet. Watch as Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney treat crazy Gary Busey like a deranged homeless man and Ryan Seacrest completely loses it.
We never thought we'd say this, but we missed Ryan Seacrest last night during E!'s red carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild awards (he called in sick). Between Giuliana Rancic and Debbie Matenopoulos, we were contemplating gouging our eyes out 20 minutes into the hooplah due to the extreme level of awkwardness these ladies achieved. Debbie forced poor Debra Messing to listen to her discuss her hair straightening regimen for what seemed like hours (Debra had an appropriate "What the hell?" look on her face the entire time), and then Giuliana treated us to a rant in which she criticized the media for making a circus out of Heath Ledger's death. Which is appropriate, since she works for one of those media outlets and all.
But our favorite moments had to be when Giuliana and Debbie would butcher the celebrities' names, often during an interview with said celebrity. Above, we present Julia Fischer, Jennifer Ferrera, and America's favorite couple: Brad and Angela.

• Unfortunately, the tolls of the campaign trail do not care how inopportune the moment. [NYP]
• Nicely done, E!. [DListed]
• From behind, Matthew Perry looks like Mel Gibson. [PS]
• 23-year-old Scarlett Johansson is said to be engaged, meaning 25-year-old Scarlett Johansson is going to be divorced. [HT]
• At this point, a faux hawk is actually worse than a mullet. Perhaps it always has been. [ICYDK]
• Mena Suvari makes Beyond Thunderdome cute [INO]
• Matthew McConaughey gets some shirtless stretches in before some shirtless running. To be followed by a shirtless dinner and some shirtless Cranium. [CityRag]
America's most famous married pornographers, Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon, are said to be working on a new filmed project: a reality show for digital trough E!.
To describe the show, one "insider" says, "Think Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's show, but with a crazier family life." Actually, we'd prefer to not!
Since she's been chosen to take on the duties of Miss Golden Globe at this year's awards, E! has a strong hunch that Rumer Willis is hungry for the fame that has surrounded her her entire life.
Previous red carpet runs may have been simply a matter of tagging along after her more famous friends. And maybe she just took those bit parts to further family togetherness. But putting on an evening gown and mingling with the glitterati onstage before a camera? That's incontrovertible proof that Rumer Willis wants to be famous.
We thought she wanted to be famous after seeing that she's been in six movies, but an awards show bit part is a good indication, too, we guess.
Lucky day! David Hasselhoff's getting his own television program on E!. (So [sic]!)
The program…will follow the "fictional" life of an "international icon" as he tries to revive his career and date in Hollywood after a long marriage and nasty divorce. Hasselhoff apparently approached [Ryan] Seacrest to produce the program after discussing with friends what a great TV show his life would make.
"Tales" is said to be similar to that of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in that reality will be blurred with the fictional character.
I was under the impression that David Hasselhoff blurred his reality too much already.

In their latest bid to become the network least watched by people who don't buy things from infomercials, E! has announced that they will be producing a reality show starring Kim Kardashian, the curvy porn star/drinker.
The 26-year-old Kardashian, a frequent Hilton hanger-on and paparazzi target in her own right, is set to star in her own family-oriented, as yet untitled reality show for E!, debuting on the cable net this fall. (E! Online is a division of E! Networks.)
The series, featuring Ryan Seacrest as executive producer, will follow Kardashian's increasingly hectic life of boutique owner by day, burgeoning tabloid fixture by night, and also delve into the goings-on of the entire Kardashian brood.
The show will also feature Kim's sisters Khloe and Kourtney, half-sisters Kendall and Kylie and mother Kris. Safe money says it will be krass, korrupting, kontemptible krap.
Apparently Dina Lohan's incessant nagging, complete lack of maternal instinct and history of poor job performance have all made her seem employable to E!, as the network will soon give her her own show, tentatively titled Mom-ager. The program will follow Dina as she attempts to launch her children Ali and Cody—Lindsay's younger siblings—into stardom.
An insider fumed, "Can you believe that? She totally messed up Lindsay by making her a 'star' and living vicariously through her - and now she's going to do the same to the other two? How the [bleep] can E! do this? Those kids should be in school having normal lives, the life that Lindsay didn't get to have."
Dina, who refers to herself as "the white Oprah," has been trying for more than a year to get an on-air TV job. She most recently appeared on "Entertainment Tonight" to give the show "exclusives" with troubled Lindsay - once when she was in the Wonderland rehab center and the other time at the "Georgia Rule" premiere.
The only reason that this show will be good is because, if done properly, it will offer a scary glimpse into the mind of lunatic stage mom living vicariously through her three young children. Hopefully, it will make a good "Exhibit A."
Things are suddenly looking up for all the Frances Beans and Sean Prestons of the world, Anna Nicole Smith has finally admitted to being pregnant. You should really go listen to it from the horse's mouth on her website, AnnaNicole.com, because really no one does ANS justice but Anna herself.
Anna had been keeping the news to herself because she's convinced that it would be worth lots of money. Who knew that a side effect of excessive Trimspa was delusions of grandeur?
As for the father, it is apparently Larry Birkhead, though there is a bit of tension between Birkhead and Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern (sucks to always be the other Howard Stern, eh?), as to what role said father will play in the child's life. TMZ reported:
Howard K. Stern tells TMZ emphatically, "Anna wants that guy completely out of her life and obviously he is having trouble dealing with it." He also said, "You'll be able to find out soon enough [if she's pregnant]," but would not elaborate beyond that.
Birkhead came back with this zinger:
"I was not going to discuss the matter publicly, but since Howard K. Stern is attempting to bash me… I have been told that I am expecting a child, I have seen the ultrasound and have spoken to doctors. I am very excited about the possibility of becoming a father. Howard needs to get past his own jealousy about the relationship between myself and his only client."
Ooooh, Anna Nicole Smith man-fight and the baby isn't even born. E! better get a signature on some papers for a new season of the ANS Show before a network with bigger pockets (are you listening VH1) gets rights to her fountain of crazy.
