pop culture died in 2009

Orlando Bloom’s celebrity playlist, 2005

Paris Hilton and Shanna Moakler got in a fight over Travis Barker at a nightclub.

Where? Hyde Lounge in L.A.

When? Shortly after 1:00AM

Weeks after being photographed kissing Travis at Marquee, Paris was spotted partying with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos when she was approached by a screaming Shanna. What happened next, however, is up for debate. Paris claimed Shanna punched her in the face, but other clubgoers saw Stavros pour a drink over Shanna’s head & push her down some stairs.

After the fight, the girls headed down to LAPD’s Hollywood Division where they filed separate police reports against one another, but no arrests were made.

The feud didn’t end there, though. In the months that followed, Paris and Shanna battled it out on MySpace and Shanna even leaked Paris’ phone number.

Her birthday’s in two days so it’ll be my present to her.

For anyone interested in reliving Manhattan’s tabloid history, I’ve been documenting my visits to its many celeb landmarks (Where Naomi’s Blackberry brawl went down, Charlie Sheen’s coke-fueled rampage, etc.) now that I started school in the city. All my stops so far can be seen on my @pcd2009 Twitter!

Check it out! And if you have any suggestions for places I should visit, let me know!:)

You caught me.

I’m way more active on my Twitter/Instagram, but since I’ve started school a month ago I haven’t had much time to do my longer posts. I promise some juicy posts are coming, though (including LIT, as many of you have asked about).

Ok!August 13, 2007

October 8, 2006 After feuding for over a year, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are photographed together at Dan Tana’s restaurant in Hollywood, confirming that they’re friends once again. The reunion comes a little over two weeks after paparazzi catch Nicole talking to Paris on the phone.

It’s already been three years since I made this blog!

Today marks three years since I created Pop Culture Died In 2009! I made this blog during my sophomore year of high school, and now I’m a college freshman - time flies! In honor of this special day, I decided to compile a list of some of my favorite (& messiest) posts over the past few years:

- Shaquille O'Neal Loves Jessica Simpson

You all know this one by heart.

- …And The Sequel

Who doesn’t love a good comeback?

- A Star is Born

A tale of a redhead ex-Disney starlet making her predecessor proud.

- Guess Who: Nanny-Slapping Heiress Edition

The moment we met & began to fear Nicola Pillz.

- What Movie Is She From?

Tragic… and hilarious.

- Spencer Pratt Tells All

The first (and probably the last) celebrity to actually do an interview with this blog.

- Crocker/Carter ‘16

As one of you so eloquently described it: “When meth meets poppers”.

- The Tears of Aaron Carter

Love hurts.

- Aaron Carter’s Mystery Squeak

I miss the AC sex stories.

- A History of Socialite Rank

Because of the amount of work that went into this post, I have war flashbacks whenever I see the names Hearst or Trump - but it was worth it since even the site’s creator loved it!

- Ben Affleck’s Nanny Is My Hero

Delete your old MySpace profiles, if you haven’t already.

- A Look Back At NYC Prep, Rich Girls, Flavor of Love& Pretty Wild

The damage left in the wake of good reality TV.

- Brooke Hogan Experiences Racism

The greatest headline of 2015.

And laying some flowers in memory of my lost classics… such as the Taylor Swift cocaine posts of Summer '15 & the disastrous Wes Craven/Ashley Madison post.

It’s been quite an interesting few years running this blog, and I appreciate every one of you that have stuck with me, and the celebrities that have blocked me (Joel Madden, Vanessa Minnillo, Naomi Campbell, Ali Lohan, Nicola Peltz, Alli Sims, etc.), along the way! Let’s keep the scandals coming, and feel free to message me anytime! I love hearing from you guys & meeting new people on here (and on Twitter)!

Have any of you read the book House of Hilton? It’s an unauthorized biography of the Hilton family from 2006. I’d been hearing about it for a while so I finally started reading it - currently 40 pages deep and it’s insaaaneeee. Paris’ …. “choices”… make so much sense now. Also, for any Real Housewives fans, it does a great job breaking down the whole dynamic between Kathy/Kyle/Kim & their mother (“Big Kathy”). Here’s an excerpt:

popculturediedin2009:

Shirts at Abercrombie, 2005

The rumors are true… I finally finished the new Lilo in Training post.

Playboy, Posey, and bad parenting.

Everyday for the last two months my inbox has been bombarded with every variation possible of: “Where the fuck is the new LIT update?” And you all have the right to be mad as I’ve been severely depriving you of your much-needed gossip on our second favorite off-the-rails ex-Disney starlet (Sorry B, but the original La Lohan will always be our #1). I could give you a million excuses: college, laziness, more laziness, but I’d rather just cut to the good stuff.

Last time we caught up with Lilo in Training, she got her eyebrows tattooed, partied with Successica Simpson’s sloppy seconds, dumped her loser boyfriend, & started hooking up with her brother’s ex-girlfriend. It’s hard to think she’s kept herself any busier since then, but surprisingly she has!

Not long after she was snapped locking lips with her longtime BFF, she squashed that budding romance to hop on the dick of another MTV D-Lister!

First Gregg, now Tyler Posey? This girl doesn’t love herself. She needs to find some loaded European heir/heiress, her Starving Nachos era can’t come soon enough.

Here’s the scoop on B’s latest flop romance, though. A source of mine spilled that apparently Posey’s place in LIT’s life is far from newfound. In fact, he’s been making moves on her since she was 17-years-old, but unlike his pal Gregg Sulkin he wasn’t so ready to be linked to someone underage. They did have a few private rendezvous during her romance with Gregg, though, and his presence in B’s life was what ultimately killed the LIT/Gregg coupling this past summer.

And staying true to the 21st-century-feud playbook, Gregg and Tyler unfollowed each other on Instagram. Tragic!

But when one cringeworthy door closes, an even cringier one opens. Since B & Posey have made their fling public, their social media PDA has captivated us all.

@bellathorne I love that little sailor mouth of yours 😈 I love everything about you bell🌹 good luck on set tonight my goofy pants

— bella thorne (@bellathorne) October 7, 2016

@otpjtonkin @bellathorne you should see hers…
— tyler posey (@tylergposey) October 8, 2016

And some romantic Insta posts:

And candids, too!

And here’s a casual shot of her at a nail salon, just because.

Almost as staged as Hayden Panettiere eating french fries.

And aside from the ridiculous social media displays of affection, things are moving pretty quick behind the scenes, too. According to In Touch, Bella moved into Tyler’s place in Studio City, but a source of mine told me that Bella’s actually fixing up a place of her own in Sherman Oaks - and that’s where she celebrated her big 1-9 a few weeks ago!

Aside from her sister Dani, no other family members came to greet the birthday girl, but who can blame them? Apparently there was little to no furniture in the house aside from beanbag chairs, and the only food available was cocaine… amongst other drugs.

Not quite as exciting as her birthday bash with Heidi Montag last year, but an interesting follow-up nonetheless! Anyways, aside from drug parties and embarrassing relationships, LIT also scored some attention by ripping another page from the Lohan playbook:

Yep, she did Playboy.

Unfortunately, this is 2016 so a Playboy shoot is pretty much irrelevant. After 1 Night in Paris, a scandalous pictorial could be easily eclipsed by a hot sex tape, but even those are passé now so it looks like there’s no winning for B. Luckily she has some box office success to cheer her up! Her latest cinematic disaster Boo! A Made Halloween topped the box office, even beating out Tom Cruise’s latest flick.

Number one at the box office hell yeah!! That’s how you do it @tylerperry #MadeaHalloween go check it!!
— bella thorne (@bellathorne) October 22, 2016

You knowDavid Miscavige got an earful over this. LIT better watch out since Xenu might smother her in her sleep! This is all making me reminisce about those Tom/Lilo rumors from years ago, though.

I had my fingers crossed her Katie Holmes Stepford Wife era was coming, but it was too good to be true. Anyways, I’ll leave you all with one of B’s latest interviews:

“It is hard in this business for us. It really is. I have already had people talk shit to me. And it comes from people in the industry, not even fans. I’ve had studios tell me my image is too ‘out there,’ hinting at it but not really saying it.“

I’m pretty sure the reason you’re not getting roles is because I’m the only person that cares about you.

~LIT’S EX-BOYFRIEND~

I wanted to avoid writing about Gregg since he’s now LIT’s ex, but he got himself into some hot water since the last post so I couldn’t resist sharing. In response to Donald Trump’s leaked audio tape last month, Gregg decided to try and start a hot new trend:

Grab Her By The Brain is an initiative dedicated to empowering females of all ages. Honored to take part. https://t.co/9mDt99ygAE pic.twitter.com/wC7ch5VlRr
— Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) October 19, 2016

It led to some minor outrage because he didn’t realize that women don’t want to be grabbed… at all. So he made some half-assed attempt at justifying his choice anyways:

I think our generation has to be the most superficial and entitled of them all.
— Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) October 19, 2016

Wow the media really do get their facts wrong.
— Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) October 19, 2016

I hope their lies in made up stories at least earn them enough money to feed their children at night.
— Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) October 19, 2016

Give it up, Deelishis. Oh, and he also tweeted a presumed dig at LIT & her new boytoy:

Children want attention.
— Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) September 19, 2016

Umm… that’s what happens when you date an actual child, dumbass.

~NICOLA PILLZ~

Unfortunately our favorite nanny-slapping billionheiress has kept the drama minimal the past couple of months. All she’s really done is show up to events & hang out with Gary Oldman’s ugly son Charlie.

There was a brief reunion of the heiresses, though, during NYFW (Remember how Paris went to prom with Nicola’s brother Diesel?):

Pilz also scored a magazine cover for no reason whatsoever:

”Million Dollar Baby“? Last time I checked she’s a billion dollar baby, she better sue for defamation! I’ll leave you with a video of her dancing to Madonna:

dance parties 💃🏼 @nicolaannepeltz pic.twitter.com/Z7sGwULbMY
— amanda (@peltzgomez) September 10, 2016

I feel like she probably hums American Life while slapping the help. After all, she has a lawyer, a manager, an agent - okay, you get where I’m going.

~LIT’S FRIENDS~

Like last time, I haven’t really been keeping up with the drug buddies anymore. They’ve gotten painfully boring, and there’s only so many times you can crack jokes about rich racist drug-addled brats without it getting stale, but I’ll try my best to round up the latest on them.

Back in August, self-proclaimed ”male Blair Waldorf“ Andrew Warrendid some interview with Observer (They need to stop trying to make the "Snap Pack” happen, it’s worse than “Fetch” at this point) and it was as cringeworthy as you could imagine, here’s my favorite quote:

“I’m not grossed out by anything. My mom likes to go to Ohio.”

Moving on, he’s still hanging out with Mini-Mary Kay Letourneau:

And Tiffany Trump (I’d still call her busted Cat Marnell but I feel bad since I’m rooting for her to escape the Trump family, she’s the only one with a chance):

Meanwhile, his ex-BFF (Maybe they’re friends again? Don’t know, don’t care!) Peter Brant is in some hot water with his judge because he doesn’t want to do the community service he was sentenced to for that Port Authority metldown earlier this year:

A Queens judge Wednesday threatened to throw bad-boy heir Peter Brant Jr. in jail if he doesn’t prove he has actually been performing his community service. “Mr. Brant, for some reason you have a good deal,” Queens Criminal Court Judge Gia Morris told the hard-partying model, who was sentenced to just 25 days of community service after copping to punching a Port Authority cop during a drunken tantrum. “What I understand is you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing,” the jurist warned. “You’re looking at jail time if you’re not completing it.” The threat came after prosecutors grumbled they had no proof Brant, son of billionaire Peter Brant and supermodel Stefanie Seymour was keeping up his end of the deal. He supposedly has been toiling at an Atlanta-based charity, Gideon’s Promise. “Mr. Brant continues to comply with his obligations and looks forward to the case sealing and putting this incident behind him,” defense attorney Alex Spiro later told The Post.

Ugh, just lock him up. I’m pretty sure his family wouldn’t even care if he was in jail - except for Harry, since then he’d have to find a new f*ck buddy. Anyways, the only drug buddy news worth sharing is the latest on Nicole Richie’s little sister Sofia!

After splitting with his wife (and one of Nicole’s best friends) Jen Meyer, “Pussy Posse” alum Tobey Maguire was spotted getting close to Sofia at 1Oak. He’s like, 40-something, and she’s 18 as of a couple months ago. After the story caused some buzz, Sofia did some damage control with her new life coach, Parasite Hilton:

After sucking the life out of Nicole (and Tara Reid, Kimbo Stewart, Lilo, Bijou Phillips, etc.), it looks like Hollywood’s succubus has set her sights on her little sister. Paris even liked my tweet about their probably coke-filled pow wow at LA’s Catch restaurant:

lmfao pic.twitter.com/cRUsiP95Yt
— popculturediedin2009 (@pcd2009) October 22, 2016

At least she’s self-aware?

The girls even reunited for a night at The Nice Guy:

Lionel is a terrible parent.

Anyways, that’s all the gossip for now. Sorry I kept you kids waiting! My first semester has been tiring to say the least, but if any of you are NYC-based and want to talk shit about Paris Hilton together, let me know! I’m always looking for fun things to do in between classes.
