LA sucks for many reasons, but one big one is its mayor, Anthony Villaraigosa. It's hard to trust a guy who sits around chatting with Paris Hilton while eating succulent bone-in lamb chops. It's even harder to trust a guy who outright lies about how much time he dedicates to his public service, saying he works 18 hours a day while actually putting in 13, many of which are dedicated to traveling and winning office again.
After the jump, a look at Mayor Villaraigosa's use of time from May to August of this year, according to whistle-blowing paper the LA Weekly.

Presidential candidate Paris Hilton, who has tried, and failed, to attach herself to nightclubs before, is said to be eying her own venue in Las Vegas.
Paris Hilton, you just blew our collective mind.
For so long we’ve dismissed you as a vapid heiress with a sex tape. You proved us wrong today with this witty rebuttal to John McCain’s anti-Obama celebrity ad, which featured you. This video not only helps you get some sweet revenge on McCain, whom you refer to as the “wrinkly white-haired guy,” but you also offer an intriguing, sensible energy compromise. Very timely!
Kathy Hilton, the supremely pitiful woman partially responsible for Paris Hilton, says the attack ad in which John McCain likens Barack Obama to Paris is "a waste of money." Which to us means that the ad itself is like Paris Hilton.
Such wonderful fallout from that dumbass attack ad that likened Barack Obama to Paris Hilton, making a laughingstock out of the McCain campaign while also infuriating Hilton's family, major Republican donors.
As we told you yesterday, Paris' father, Rick, is a big McCain donor and not pleased that his daughter was made a mockery of by the Arizona senator. But today comes news that the rage doesn't end with Daddy Hilton, because William Barron Hilton, Paris' grandfather, is a freakin' GOP whale, having given $18,000 directly to McCain and $35,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee over the past couple years.
Apparently pissed to discover that money won't ever prevent his family from being a goddamn joke, WB was reportedly on the phone all day yesterday screaming at the McCain people. We imagine his whining went something like, "I mean, shit, can't a millionaire buy a decent political favor anymore?"
If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody anymore, thank God, and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue.

Rich white man fight!
Just one day after releasing an attack ad that equates Barack Obama with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears – thus calling the Democratic nominee a vapid celebrity – John McCain has been apprised of the news that Rick Hilton, Paris' father, is a big donor to his campaign. Rick gave $4,600 to McCain last March, presumably not expecting that his money would be used to shit all over his own daughter months later. Yay, politics!
Goddamn, there are so many things right with this story.
Here we go! The latest and greatest Obama attack ad out of John McCain's camp not only juxtaposes the Democratic nominee with wearying tarts Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, it also resorts to one of the oldest scare tactics in the book: reminding everyone that Obama wants to raise taxes (possibly to fund his wife's Black Panther arsenal? Nobody knows!).
It's still only July, kids.
Paris Hilton debuted her trashtastic shoe line yesterday at a Las Vegas Macy's, presumably because the only people who would want to wear those hideous things also like to dance on poles.

We weren't even aware Repo! The Genetic Opera was actually going to the movie theaters, but some quick research confirms it's still set to release in November. If anyone actually has a desire to see Paris Hilton sing and act, save yourself $8 and just watch the clip above. And then you should probably look into seeing a therapist.
This might be interesting had Paris Hilton not already done it first: Khloe Kardashian will report to jail Friday to serve her 30-day sentence for DUI. You remember her DUI arrest, right? It was reenacted for an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Oh, I was the only one who watched it?
Anyhoo, the judge has decided to "make an example out of her," but she will likely only serve less than one day of her 30-day sentence. Apparently even being a D-lister's sibling is enough to get you the celebrity justice treatment.
