the greatest betrayal of our time

PCD2009 Investigates…

Kate Beckinsale: Edition!

No, I’m not talking about the chick from Blue Crush - that’s Kate Bosworth.

This past week, the Kate B. that didn’t date Orlando Bloom was snapped locking lips with a young-looking guy outside Villa Lounge in WeHo:

Well, it turns out… he’s very young. Here’s the scoop thus far:

1). His name is Matt Rife and he’s 21 years old.

2). He’s a self-proclaimed “comedian.”

3).… And his idol is Dane Cook.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the odd couple met two months ago through a mutual friend (Uhh… who?) and they’re “officially boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Please tell me I’m not the only one who finds this incredibly bizarre.

Anyways, I was so riveted by the news that I decided to lurk his Instagram and see what I could dig up for the two other people that happen to read my blog while also being aware of Kate Beckinsale’s existence - these are my findings:

*He looks fresh out of a 2011 Tumblr hipster blog. I can picture his visage alongside sprinkle-colored lips and high-definition shots of palm trees:

*He might’ve graduated middle school last week:

*He’s very into current events:

*And conscious of social issues:

*Aside from Dane Cook…

He also worships Pauly Shore -

- and Tim Allen:

*And he’s young enough that when he first started his Instagram, he looked like this:

Oh, did I mention Nikki Blonsky follows him?

Take this counterfeit Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher back to the dollar store. I knew I should’ve been concerned for Kate as soon as she started commenting emojis on Parasite’s Instagram posts:

Pam’s New Man

Move over, Julian Assange!

After last week’s piece of poetry, Pamela Anderson’s seemed to have moved on from Assange to Adil Rami, a French soccer player.

The two reportedly met through a mutual friend a few weeks ago, and they’ve since treated paparazzi to a romance tour through the South of France.

Is Pam finally coming to her senses? Fingers crossed!

Depp Vs. Donald

In pot-kettle news, Johnny Depp has a bone to pick with Donald Trump.

While at Glastonbury, Depp asked the crowd: “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

Bad move, Johnny.

What the professional-mumbler forgot is that most of the people who still supported him in spite of his casual wife-beating probably voted for Trump - and they weren’t too pleased:

Hi @Disney! Are you going to continue your film deal with Johnny Depp after his kill-the-president comments or is that family-friendly?

— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) June 23, 2017

When was the last time an average citizen assassinated a hollywood celebrity? Asking for a friend… #JohnnyDepp#MAGA

— John Paul (@JohnPaul_USA) June 24, 2017

TRUMPERS please Tweet @Disney and @WBPictures! Tell them to #FireDepp or we will #BoycottDisney for a LIFETIME! #JohnnyDepp

— Lori Hendry (@Lrihendry) June 24, 2017

I would call for a boycott of Johnny Depp’s movies, but it appears people have been avoiding them for the last 20 years anyway.

— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) June 23, 2017

Trumpers far and wide took to Twitter to air their grievances about Depp’s threat - and one of Donald’s forgotten children even chimed in:

Depp is another stellar left wing spokesman: Pictures of Amber Heard after Johnny Depp assault https://t.co/i2lDNegZQe via @MailOnline

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) June 23, 2017

And conveniently, the media - sans TMZ, of course - decided to pick up on the story PCD2009 broke about those little legal documents confirming what Amber Heard already told us all - so now people care that he beat his wife?

Anyways, Donald took a breather from his hourly Twitter meltdowns to issue a statement:

JUST IN: White House official calls Johnny Depp’s joke about assassinating a president “sad” pic.twitter.com/cqKdu9ZQiT

— NBC News (@NBCNews) June 23, 2017

And now Johnny’s decided to apologize:

“I apologize for the bad joke I attempted last night in poor taste about President Trump. It did not come out as intended, and I intended no malice. I was only trying to amuse, not to harm anyone.”

At this point, MTV should just revive Celebrity Deathmatch and throw these two bloated buffoons into the ring - let them take out each other and do us all a favor.

Charlie Sheen Is Still Alive, Unfortunately

You get HIV! You get HIV! Everybody gets HIV!

According to Variety, Charlie Sheen is being sued… again.

On June 22nd, an ex-girlfriend of the trainwreck - only choosing to identify herself as “Jane Doe” - filed a suit accusing Sheen of exposing her to HIV, and then dissuading her from taking antiretroviral drugs - here are the fast facts:

- They met in September 2015 and started fucking right away.

- When she asked him if he had any STDs, he told her he was “fine.”

- After ditching condoms, Charlie decided to drop the HIV bomb.

- When she went ape shit, he told her he was “noble” for telling her about his HIV status at all - and that it was “none of her fucking business” to begin with.

- Sheen also told her that the drugs she’d been prescribed were bogus, and that she shouldn’t believe “the convenient rumors of the medical community.”

Yeah, since if I want medical advice, I’ll ask Charlie Sheen - anyways:

- He told her that he could “see the future” and she was going to be fine.

- He also loves the n-word, according to the suit - describing the other women who’d threatened him with legal action as “fucking n*****s” who’d committed “treason,” which was “punishable by death.”

Sounds like standard Sheen stuff.

Life & Style published nude photos of Nick Lachey and then-girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

Weeks after pictures surfaced of Vanessa engaging in knifeplay with Lindsay Lohan, the couple graced tabloids again when they were snapped celebrating their one-year anniversary in Mexico.

While PG versions of the pictures were published in the magazine, word spread that even racier snaps were in existence of the couple having sex in a jacuzzi - TMZ describing the photos as “Paris sex tape-level scandalous.” Thanks, zoom lenses!

Lachey confirmed the existence of the more risqué pictures to OK!, and hired Hollywood heavyweight Marty Singer to warn other tabloids of potential legal action if they chose to release the shots - but the Internet had the last laugh.

By the following week, the sex snaps were published in Australia’s Famous, and uncensored versions surfaced online a month later - and Nick wasn’t too pleased. When Good Day New York host Ron Corning asked the singer about the photos during a satellite interview, this was Nick’s response:

Happy 10 Years!

Happy #KatieHolmesLiberationDay!

In TouchFebruary 4, 2008

The price tag for Paris’ post-jail interview goes from $1 million to $0.

June 26th, 2007 - VD Day.

After 23 days behind bars, her day of liberation had arrived: Paris Hilton was about to become a free woman.

For weeks, camera crews crowded outside Lynwood’s Century Regional Detention Facility as the world’s most infamous celebutante toiled away in a 12-by-8-foot cell, but her nightmare was about to come to an end.

As the heiress had become accustomed to her newer, simpler life, LA County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore confirmed the date of her walk of freedom, and the 24/7 Hilton news cycle reacted accordingly.

As family and friends celebrated the blonde’s impending exit, one question loomed in the media’s mind: Who would score the first post-pokey interview?

Enter our first player: Barbara Walters.

It seemed destined from Day One that The View’s head honcho would snag the surefire ratings bonanza. Aside from publicizing previous chats with the jailed heiress on her daytime show, Walters was also a close friend of Paris’ parents Kathy and Rick Hilton - so much so, that while their spawn cried behind bars, the couple threw a fête in honor of the newfound Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee at La Casa Hilton in Bel Air.

After attending the star-studded June 14th ceremony, a roster of friends, journalists, and other media-types crowded inside Barron Hilton’s lavish L.A. abode, where his son hosted a soiree in honor of the TV titan.

Despite the woman of the hour being Walters, seated front and center was a rhinestone-studded card from Paris to her father - littered with pictures of herself.

As guests mingled, the Hiltons played a reel of Walters’ career, and then the honoree made a brief speech before jetting to LAX and catching a red-eye back to Manhattan.

It seemed like a no-brainer that Barbara had the interview in the bag… until someone else threw their checkbook into mix.

As Walters returned to New York, Rick Hilton received a late-night phone call from NBC head Jeff Zucker with what seemed like the offer a lifetime: $1,000,000.

Rumor had it that ABC only promised to dish out a measly $100,000 for the highly-anticipated sit-down, so in a move that would transform his daughter’s legal saga into a debate of media ethics, Hilton accepted Zucker’s proposal.

At two o'clock the following morning, Paris’ father phoned Walters, leaving a message that their deal was off… NBC’s money was too good to turn down.

To add insult to injury, the interview would be conducted with onetime View panelist Meredith Vieira, who’d ended her stint on the show carrying some bad blood with Barbara.

As the network’s Burbank staffers hurriedly prepared for the Hilton one-on-one, the catch was disguised from outsiders with a secret codename: Rome.

But as history often repeats itself, Rome would fall once again.

Just as fast as NBC scored the interview, word leaked to The New York Post of the developing project… and the large price tag it entailed.

Within hours, the news world flew into furor over the deal, with countless agencies slamming NBC for violating one of the cardinal rules of journalism: Don’t pay for interviews.

And by the evening of June 21st, Rome had crumbled.

Eager to repair the damage, NBC issued a statement that it “does not pay for interviews” and that the controversial project was “never alive to begin with” - leaving a desperate Hilton family nowhere else to turn but their very first choice.

In the wee hours of June 22nd, Barbara Walters was woken up by an unexpected phone call.

The caller? Paris.

From the confines of Century Regional, the heiress begged the daytime TV host to give her another chance, and Paris’ pleas were followed by countless emails and phone calls from Rick begging ABC to resurrect their past offer, but the network was no longer interested.

With a onetime price tag in the millions, Paris’ first words had become absolutely worthless, and it wouldn’t be until the following afternoon that Hilton would finally find a network for her post-jail tears: CNN.

In a June 23rd press release, the heiress confirmed she’d be making her first media appearance as a free woman on Larry King’s live show:

“I am thrilled that Larry King has asked me to appear on his program to discuss my experience in jail, what I have learned, how I have grown and anything else he wants to talk about. Larry King is not only a world-renown journalist, but a true American Icon. It will be an honor to do his show.”

And within a span of two days, the war for Hilton’s words had come to a close.

As the dust settled, all that Paris was left to do was leave jail - and the moment was fast approaching.

Throughout the afternoon of June 25th, photographers chased a caravan of SUVs as assistants fetched balloons, Barron picked up a suit, and the Hilton clan readied themselves for Paris’ evening exit.

Shortly after 10PM, Kathy and Rick left their Bel Air residence to head to Lynwood, and the pandemonium swung into full-force.

Helicopters, TV crews, and fans surrounded the jail as anticipation grew for the first glimpse of the heiress.

And finally, minutes after midnight, the moment had arrived.

As the world watched, the pavement became Paris’ catwalk, and photographers snapped away.

Once she made eye contacted with her mother, though, the heiress - decked in jeans from her eponymous brand and a Petro Zillia jacket - dashed over to the waiting SUV.

Reunited, and it feels so good.

Cameras captured every moment as the Hiltons sped away into the night, flanked by mobs of paparazzi.

Where to? 1060 Brooklawn Drive AKA Hilton Headquarters.

The family’s famed abode, owned by grandfather Barron, had been featured everywhere from Dynasty to Beverly Hills: 90210 - and now TV viewers would watch it once again… as the owner’s newly-liberated grandaughter decompressed from weeks behind bars.

One by one, family and friends visited Paris as she relaxed in a Bel Air mega-mansion. Amongst the well-wishers were aunt Kyle Richards:

Nicole Richie’s mother, Brenda:

Little sister Nicky, fresh from a trip to Greece:

And some Taco Bell:

But the moment America was waiting for was still a day away.

On June 27th, Paris made her way to CNN studios on Sunset Boulevard.

As paparazzi tailed the blonde, she emerged from the car - posse in tow - and ready to give her first interview as a free woman.

And at six o'clock Pacific Time, Paris’ highly-anticipated words were aired across the country.

During the hourlong sit-down, the heiress dished on her days behind bars - the mystery meat, the meltdowns, and most importantly: God.

Aside from her lack of Bible knowledge, Hilton also flat out denied ever using drugs:

And read a diary entry she’d supposedly written during her incarceration:

It sounds kind of smart, right?

It’s because she didn’t write it.

Later that year, Paris’ poetry would be outed as a plagiarized pokey fan letter, written by a 43-year-old chef named Judi DeBella. Oh, Paris - you almost had us fooled for a moment!

But as the world watched the blonde bat her lashes and tell a few dozens white lies, Hilton ditched Hollywood for Hawaii - arriving to the International First Class Lounge at United Airlines disguised in a brunette wig and straw hat.

By morning, paparazzi snapped the jetsetting ex-jailbird as she touched down in Maui, and began a much overdue vacation.

From surfing…

…to shopping:

And some crotch-tastic sunbathing:

Paris did what she does best - absolutely nothing.

And as the heiress enjoyed some rest and relaxation, the world continued to stir about, what else? Paris.

From Anderson Cooper to David Letterman, the media continued to mock the supposedly “reformed” starlet.

Even weaseling her way into a Presidential Debate:

But Hilton still had a few fans in her corner, Anna Nicole Smith’s ex-bodyguard Mark Hatten for starters… serving his own jail sentence for assault:

A sadly misguided four-year-old:

Red Light District, who released a special jail-themed edition of the blonde’s sex tape:

And Celebritybuttplugs.com, unveiling the new “Parass Hilton”:

Meanwhile, the weekly tabloids took sides in yet another media war: To Paris, or not to Paris?

While People opted for an exclusive $300,000 interview with the heiress, fresh out of the slammer:

Us Weekly decided to do a Hilton-free issue, editor Janice Min telling AP: “When it came down to it, the staff and I felt what I believe a lot of people in America are feeling, which is just enormous Paris fatigue. I don’t think we even mention the city of Paris.”

But it wouldn’t be long until the party girl reentered the tabloids’ good graces. After wrapping up her holiday in the sun, Hilton returned to Hollywood rejuvenated and ready to reconquer the club scene - her first haunt of choice being none other than Les Deux:

And as the sun set on another week in Hollywood, Angelenos prepared to celebrate one more day of independence… America’s.

While fireworks lit up the Tinseltown sky, the new and “improved” Paris shared a parting piece of advice with fans via her MySpace, almost a year to the arrest that started it all: Don’t drive and drive.

June 29, 2017

For my readers who don’t know or care about Mika Brzezinski, she was the one who did this:

So, that’s one thing she’s got going for her, I guess?

While I typically shy away from peeking at Donald’s Twitter feed for the sake of my mental health, I had to give it a look since if there’s one thing I know very well about the Trumps, it’s their family surgeon… as he’s also the go-to guy for the equally fucked-up Hilton and Jackson families: Dr. Steven Hoefflin.

Yes, one guy is responsible for so many botched faces.

So how does he play into all of this, and why should we care?

Well, there’s no reason to care at all, but I’m bored, I felt like creating a fun diagram, and if you’re reading this blog, chances are you’re looking for gossip on washed-up celebrities - and this post is chock-full of it!

Who Is Hoefflin?

“Einstein defined the universe. I’ve defined faces.”

Yes, that’s something that came out of his mouth.

Hoefflin, known at one point as “Doc Hollywood” - although Raj Kanodia’s swiftly stole that crown (See: Hadid, Simpson, & Lively) - is just as scandal-ridden as his patients - and just as egotistical, too!

In 1996, four ex-staffers from Hoefflin’s Santa Monica-based headquarters sued the doctor for sexual harassment - but it gets crazier. According to papers filed with a Los Angeles court, the doc’s alleged behavior included, but wasn’t limited to:

- Fondling and mocking the genitals of several celebrity patients while they were under anesthesia - including Liz Taylor and Don Johnson.

- Anesthetizing patients and then billing them for procedures he didn’t perform - Michael Jackson being amongst the duped clients (A claim later backed up by Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe).

- Sending some of his patients home with Demerol-filled goodie bags.

- Having frequent tantrums because of heavy cocaine use.

And the suit went on to namedrop another member of Hoefflin’s star roster: Sylvester Stallone’s then-fiancée Angie Everhart, who visited the doctor for a slight breast augmentation. While she was on the operating table, though, Stallone waltzed in and asked if the doctor could up the size - against Everhart’s wishes. Hoefflin complied. Angie’s recovery from the surgery was supposedly so brutal that it had to be reversed four months later.

To top it off, the suit even claimed that Hoefflin would trick his celebrity clients into thinking that he would be performing the surgeries himself, but would leave the dirty work to junior assistants.

I guess that explains all the poor results.

After the filing, Hoefflin shot back with a defamation suit, which he claimed to have won in a 2009 interview… but court papers filed in a related case show that the four women who’d sued him each received a hefty settlement package.

He ended up writing off the entire incident as just “jealousy” from competitors.

And since then, the doctor’s behavior has only gotten more unhinged:

- April 2008: Hoefflin pulls a Trump and mulls over a presidential run, going as far as creating “Dr. Hoefflin for President” stationary and penning a crazy letter to the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, claiming that the doctor had prepared a manuscript of a “very important new technique to significantly reduce consumption and trade of illegal drugs” with Mexico.

- May 2008: LAPD officers respond to a call from the doctor’s home, complaining of “criminal threats.” The police report on the incident claimed Hoefflin rambled to officers he was an “undercover” agent for agencies such as the FBI, DEA, CIA, and Secret Service… to name a few.

- June 2008: Several police reports claim the doctor sent threatening letters to his neighbor, the late Fred Sands, because the real-estate mogul endorsed Hoefflin’s supposed campaign “rival,” John McCain.

And then weeks after that incident, police were called to the doctor’s residence again - this time to catch Hoefflin hiding in a tree… and clutching a pellet gun.

Next stop? UCLA Medical Center.

While the doctor was held on a 5150 - which he later denied ever happening - police found countless handwritten notes stuffed in his car, claiming that helicopters were following him… and some shit about al Qaeda.

So how does someone this crazy get to his level of success? Let’s break it down!

The Hefner Connection

Despite starting his career in the 1970s working with burn victims, Hoefflin’s eye quickly shifted to boob jobs - and it wasn’t long until a pal introduced him to Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner. From there, the doctor became a Grotto regular, meeting several future celebrity clients from Tony Curtis to Amber Lynn, but one star in particular would send the surgeon’s salary through the roof.

The Jackson Connection

In 1978, Hefner introduced Hoefflin to Michael Jackson - and a beautifully twisted friendship was born.

The following year, the star got the first of many operations after breaking his nose, but it wouldn’t be until 1984 that the doctor’s own star would rise, thanks to a little Pepsi incident.

After Jackson caught fire filming a commercial, Hoefflin raced to his pal’s side and performed a series of nose jobs and “touch-ups” that live in infamy. Despite the questionable results, the doctor’s clientele only grew, and by the following year Hoefflin opened a half-block surgical complex in Santa Monica - the building quickly becoming a rotating door for Hollywood’s oddest, with everyone from Heidi Fleiss to Joan Rivers booking an appointment.

And throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the doctor remained a close confidante of the pop sensation who’d ignited him to star status, providing Jackson regular amounts of painkillers, in addition to getting the singer hooked on Propofol… and we all know how that ended up.

But after Michael’s passing in 2009, Hoefflin took on a new role in the Jackson family: medical representative.

In the wake of Jackson’s headline-making death, the surgeon jumped to mother Katherine’s side to serve as the family’s go-to guide for handling a wave of wrongful-death suits against the singer’s insurance companies - and even fellow doctors, and the clan remains tight-knit with the doctor to this day.

The Hilton Connection

In the early 1970s, a young Kathy Hilton would attend Van Nuys’ Montclair Prep with the Jacksons, beginning a lifetime friendship between the families - and a bond over a shared surgeon.

After Michael began his own series of procedures with Hoefflin, Kathy’s mother Big Kathy opted for a post-divorce facelift. At her daughter’s recommendation, in addition to the urging of childhood pal Jane Hallaren, Paris’ grandmother would go under the doctor’s knife for a facelift and nose job before jetting out to Palm Springs in search of a wealthy man.

The Hoefflin/Hilton partnership would span decades, and would weasel its way into a scandal I’ve covered in great detail on this blog.

After Paris was reassigned to house arrest during her 2007 jail saga, photographers snapped a mystery figure emerging from the heiress’ party pad in the Hollywood Hills: Dr. Hoefflin.

Why the surgeon was visiting Paris, freshly sprung from the pokey, is unknown - but I guess he didn’t have enough time to operate on her wonky eye, as Hilton was cuffed and tossed back into jail hours later.

The Trump Connection

And where there’s Hilton, there’s Trump.

Around the same time Big Kathy got a facelift, her daughter hitched it out to New York with hubby Rick Hilton to raise their future paparazzi-magnet, whom they affectionally dubbed “Star.” From there, the hotel heir and his failed-showbiz wife made the social rounds and became close friends with Donald Trump, whose midtown ‘tower’ housed Hilton pal Michael Jackson.

While the young couple tried to match the fellow heir with Kathy’s younger sister Kim Richards…

… Trump settled on Ivana.

And like any good friendship, surgeon sharing became part of the package.

After getting some work done of her own, Ivana recommended Hoefflin to her husband, and in 1989, Donald went under the knife for a scalp reduction to remove a bald spot. The procedure was supposedly so painful, though, that when Trump returned home, he cried to his wife: “Your fucking doctor has ruined me!” And then what happened next - according to a deposition from the couple’s inevitable divorce - was a “violent assault.”

Donald held back Ivana’s arms, pulled hair from her scalp, and then proceeded to rape his wife - causing her to lock herself upstairs, “crying for the rest of the night.” When Ivana returned to the master bedroom the following morning, she spotted her torn locks scattered across the bed… as her husband asked: “Does it hurt?”

Trump later slammed the story, published in 1993’s Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, dismissing it as a bunch of falsehoods spun by an “unattractive guy who is… vindictive and jealous” - not too different from the defense his plastic surgeon would use against similar allegations years later.

Before the publishing of the book, though, Donald and his lawyers sought a statement from now ex-wife Ivana to be printed on the first page:

“[O]n one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.“

But despite the softening of the story, the couple’s 1990 divorce would be granted on grounds of ”cruel and inhumane treatment by Mr. Trump“… and Ivana would be slammed with a gag order to prevent any future discussion of the marriage.

Fast forward over a decade later, Hoefflin would remain part of the Trump circle (Eventually supporting Donald’s presidential run), and his now-reality star patient would welcome a baby boy with new wife Melania in 2006, named Barron in honor of the Hilton family patriarch.

Meanwhile, Barron Hilton’s now-infamous granddaughter Paris, who cited Donald as her ”inspiration“ in a 2004 sit-down with Barbara Walters, scoured Trump Tower for a possible $8 million dollar East Coast pad of her own… all the while childhood pal and Donald’s own daughter, Ivanka, would go under the knife for a noticeable breast augmentation following a summer of partying with mother Ivana in Saint-Tropez.

Whether or not the infamous doctor’s responsible for the Trump heiress’ touchup is a mystery… but all roads lead to Hoefflin.

It’s a small, plastic world.
