10 Celebrities You Probably Forgot Appeared On TV Shows

PHOTO 20th Century Fox

Thinking why some of your fave celebrities look familiar? That's probably because you may have already seen them on TV before, way back when they looked awkward and even dressed in a funny way. Here are 10 celebrity appearances on TV you may have already forgotten about. Time for a rewatch after!

1. Chad Michael Murray, Gilmore Girls. CMM played Tristan DuGrey, this d-bag of a guy who kept teasing Rory (Alexis Bledel) whenever she was in the halls of Chilton. He had a recurring role until he got in trouble and his dad had to ship him to military school unblocked games.





2. Dakota Fanning, CSI. Cutie Dakota played Brenda for one of the TV show's episodes, the youngest member of a family that was murdered. She and her older sister were the only ones who survived the unfortunate event.



3. Bella Thorne, The OC. In 2007, our November cover girl played the role of a young Taylor Townsend (Autumn Reeser) for this teen-oriented TV show. Don't you find her full bangs and curls adorbs?



4. Shailene Woodley, The OC. You might already know this if you got a copy of our June issue with Shai on the cover. This Golden Globe-nominated actress appeared for a few episodes as Kaitlyn Cooper, Marissa's (Mischa Barton) little sister, before she became one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses.

5. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Seventh Heaven. The twins appeared on the show's 5th season as twin bad girls, Carol and Sue Murphy, who got Simon (David Gallagher) in some school trouble.



6. Zooey Deschanel, Bones. In 2009, Zooey appeared on one of the shows episodes, which starred her older sister Emily. Talk about sister act.



7. Paris Hilton, Veronica Mars. Paris played spoiled, rich kid Caitlin Ford in one episode where her character was involved in a case of credit card fraud.



8. Jonathan Bennett, Veronica Mars. The Mean Girls star was in 2 episodes to play Casey Grant, one of the students from Neptune High who Veronica investigated for a sudden change in behavior.



9. Leighton Meester, Veronica Mars. Before she was on Gossip Girl, Leighton appeared on 2 episodes as Carrie Bishop—Veronica's schoolmate who was known as the Gossip Queen. What a cute coincidence, right?



10. Ashlee Simpson, 7th Heaven. Ashlee had a recurring role on the show as Cecilia Smith, Simon's "friend" who somehow got absorbed as one of the family's friends, too.

An Egyptian TV Show Pranked Paris Hilton With A Horrific Fake Plane Crash, And She Was Not Happy

Paris Hilton recently appeared on Egyptian actor Ramez Galal’s prank show, “Ramez in Control“ (“Ramez Wakel Elgaw”) and was subjected to a terrifying hoax.

A YouTube video from an episode of “Ramez in Control“ shows Hilton in Dubai for the opening of a new hotel. Midway through the episode, the celebrity is invited on a jet for a 15-minute aerial tour of the city with Galal and other passengers. A few minutes after the plane is in the air, the pilot begins doing stunts that make it appear as if the plane is crashing.

In the video, Hilton and the other passengers begin to panic and scream as an alarm goes off and the plane appears to plummet. One passenger opens up the jet’s side door and tosses a man out as Hilton screams “No” and “I don’t want to jump.”

The faked crash footage — which is very disturbing to watch — goes on for more than five minutes as Hilton continues to scream and cry, looking genuinely terrified. After the plane lands safely, Galal tells Hilton he is an Egyptian actor and that the crash was just a prank. It appears Hilton wasn’t in on the joke, as she seems surprised and confused before yelling at the host, “I’m going to kill you.”

“I almost thought I was going to die,” she says, crying. “That’s been my biggest fear my whole life, dying in a plane.”

It’s unclear when this episode of “Ramez in Control” originally aired, but Galal has pulled this prank — and others — during the past four Ramadans. Another video posted to YouTube includes a preview of various people involved in the plane crash hoax.

The show faced cancelation earlier this year, but not because of how upsetting the pranks appear to be for the show’s victims. According to website Albawaba, Egypt’s prosecutor general filed a lawsuit against Galal for reportedly “stealing the show’s idea from Prosecutor General Ashraf Atef.”

Previously, the host has tricked guests into believing they were being eaten by live sharks in the ocean, so clearly, Galal has no limits.

The Huffington Post could not immediately reach Hilton’s reps for comment.

Well, that was fast: Paris Hilton and Naomi Campbell are already ruining Cuba

Cuba has been all over the traveler’s radar these past few months as relaxed rules have put the country in reach of more Americans than ever before. Unfortunately, those rules have also put the island nation in reach of Paris Hilton and Naomi Campbell. Yes, Cuba has already jumped the shark before the shark was even let out of its cage.

The star-studded crew arrived in Cuba this week as part of an awareness-building mission that also includes former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (which means “so, Paris Hilton, Naomi Campbell and Kofi Annan walk onto a beach” is not just the beginning of a bad joke). As Hilton’s Instagram makes clear, if nothing else, the awareness-building mission has been a success, at least in that she is now aware of Cuba’s existence.

So I wonder which of the twelve categories Paris Hilton’s visit fell under? Religious activities? Education? Spreading information? Who knows — but you can be sure her 4 million followers will now be considering booking flights to Cuba — let’s just hope this doesn’t help cement Cuba’s future as the next Cancun.

And just in case you think we’re being alarmists here, check out what Paris Hilton’s been up to in Cancun. Well, at least Cuba (and the flight crew) can be thankful Hilton didn’t bring her little brother.

RIP Tinkerbell and Paris Hilton's brand of 'handbag dog' celebrity

Paris Hilton, this week, announced the death of her beloved chihuahua Tinkerbell. Daisy Buchanan mourns the passing of an era when celebrity was fun - and tiny little dogs travelled with their own diamanté accessories

Stop all the clocks! Cut off the Swarovski encrusted Blackberry! One of the world’s most famous dogs is no longer capable of barking with a juicy bone.

Tinkerbell Hilton, socialite Paris Hilton’s ‘firstborn’ and favourite dog, has passed on from natural causes. The chihuahua is making her way to the pink satin cushion in the sky. St Peter is ready with a flute of Cristal and a diamanté collar.

Hilton announced the passing of her pup on Instagram this week, writing:

“My heart is broken I am so sad and devastated. After 14 amazing years together my baby Tinkerbell has passed away of old age. I feel like I’ve lost a member of my family. She was such a special and incredible soul. We went through so much together. I can’t believe she’s gone. I will miss her & think about her for the rest of my life. I love you Tinky, you are a legend and will never be forgotten.”

_{(Paris Hilton/Instagram)}
 

Aged 14 (in human years), dear old Tink made a very good innings. And how many other chihuahuas get to live in palatial splendour, fly around the world, or become the break out star of a reality show?
We first met the tiny mutt when Paris and her friend Nicole Ritchie appeared on The Simple Life at the end of 2003.

Paris had reportedly bought Tinkerbell in 2002, after seeing the hugely popular film Legally Blonde – in which Reese Witherspoon’s character, Elle Woods, owns a chihuahua and dresses it in pink.

This was the moment when the world started to accept the idea that you could be an adult woman and dress entirely in pink, wear your hair in bunches, and carry a handbag that cost more than the average American weekly income which could double as a home for a small puppy with big bowels.
Tinkerbell was a totem of that joyous vacuousness.

A decade ago, the little dog - and owner - were redefining the parameters of celebrity. They were everywhere together, doing nothing, and making it look like a lot of fun. Paris lived for fun.

_{wreportedly inspired by the film Legally Blonde}
 
In 2008 she told Esquire “Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party, because then you don't need to go out.” For fans of imported US gossip mags, Paris Hilton was our Marie Antoinette and Versailles had yet to fall.

Tinkerbell was an integral part of that empire (although some reports suggested that the chihuahua has been quietly replaced, several times, over the years).

The dog appeared on the red carpet, in adverts and was called the ‘first true canine companion of reality television’ by MTV.

After a 6-day episode during which she went missing in 2004 (Hilton offered $5,000 for her return) Tinkerbell appeared with her owner on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and charmed America.
This was a different era – the dawning of modern celebrity culture.

Remember how we foamed at the mouth with excitement when Paris, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears were pictured leaving a party and getting into the same car? Gasp.

No wonder poor Paris is devastated by the passing of her pet (not to mention her grip on the paparazzi).

Post recession, we’re becoming more cynical about celebrity, and famous people are very aware of the importance of being earnest. Emma Watson – named one of Time’s 100 most influential people - and Angelina Jolie are adored by right thinking people for their talent,human rights work and ethical attitudes. That’s increasingly how we like our female stars today

Even Kim Kardashian – seen by many as Paris’s heir, she actually started her career as Hilton’s assistant – is defended by fans with the words “but she actually works very hard”.

The death of Tinkerbell might mean that sheer social silliness has finally died too.

The cult of Paris and Tinkerbell might not have stood for anything substantial or honourable. But at least they had fun. At least they appeared to be parodying themselves. Too often now, we seem to have clung on to the posturing, vanity and constant exposure and ditched the part where anyone was allowed to enjoy it.

Hollywood wannabes are more likely to brag about kale than clubs, the late night has been swapped for the sunset hike.

Even Coachella, the LA festival that was formerly the ultimate celeb party, has turned into a glorified River Island shoot where no-one smiles and everything is sponsored by Pepsi.

So Tinkerbell, if you look down from doggy heaven don’t judge us too harshly. And get some well-deserved rest in your giant designer handbag in the sky.

‘My mother always told me it’s not polite to discuss money, but it’s true,’ reality star told press. ‘I’m very proud. I’ve worked hard’
Paris Hilton’s DJ debut: was it a complete fiasco?

Paris Hilton now earns up to $1m per night as a celebrity DJ. The often-derided former reality TV star, who says her music is her “passion”, regularly plays at clubs in China, Dubai and Ibiza.

“I don’t want to be bragging, but it’s great to be paid well for what you love doing,” Hilton told the New York Post. Amid reports that she had received $2.7m (£1.6m) for a four-night residency at Ibiza’s Amnesia club, Hilton confirmed that she sometimes receives as much as $1 million (£620,000) for a single DJ appearance. “My mother always told me it’s not polite to discuss money, but it’s true,” she said. “I’m very proud. I’ve worked hard.”

In addition to an ongoing residency at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Hilton has recently DJed nights in Vietnam, Shanghai, and a closing bash for Paris Fashion Week. She is “having a ball” with all these parties, which average about two a week.

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old socialite is also working toward her second album. Now signed to Lil Wayne’s Cash Money label, Hilton has released two singles over the past year: Good Time and Come Alive. Neither made it on to the UK or US singles charts. Hilton’s first LP, released in 2006, sold about 600,000 copiesworldwide.

Shortcuts The Paris Hilton plane crash: a new low for TV pranks

After fake family reunions, pretending to murder your child and kidnappings, is an Egyptian trick on the celebrity heiress the meanest stunt yet?

Congratulations should surely go to Egyptian television programme Ramez in Control, for it has finally achieved the impossible. Until now, everything that Paris Hilton touched has been hilarious. Her singing career? Hilarious. That perfume she created called Fairy Dust? Hilarious. Her speaking voice, sense of entitlement and time spent in prison? All completely hilarious.

But now Ramez in Control has managed to put Paris Hilton in her first ever unapologetically non-hilarious situation. You see, Ramez in Control is a prank show, and its latest prank involved tricking Paris Hilton into believing that she was moments away from dying in a fiery aeroplane crash. She was in a plane, the engine stopped, it plummeted towards the ground and she started screaming and weeping hysterically, powerless against the certainty of her imminent demise.

While the clip of the prank is systematically being wiped from the internet as quickly as possible – perhaps because even the internet has some standards – it’s still worth watching if you can find it. Because chances are you won’t think, “LOL, look at Paris Hilton pleading for her life like a massive loser”, but “Oh, so that’s how I’d react if I thought I was going to die in the next few seconds.”

Unquestionably, the prank overstepped the mark by some distance, but it isn’t the first to do so. A few years ago on holiday, I watched a Maltese hidden-camera prank show where a succession of terrified passers-by were tricked into thinking that they’d just witnessed a drive-by shooting, exploding blood squib and all. Between all the desperate panic and horrified shrieking, I started to become quite nostalgic about Beadle’s About.

It’s relatively difficult to draw a comprehensive line between playing a simple prank and just being an arsehole. The man who pretended to throw his young son off a balcony in front of his wife? Arsehole. The electronics firm that fooled people into thinking the floor was falling out of their lift? Probably just pranksters. The Cambodian TV show that tricked a 13-year-old girl into believing that she was about to meet her long-lost mother? Complete arseholes. That time someone pretended to kidnap David Beckham? Actually that one turned out to be Rio Ferdinand, for an ITV show called World Cup Wind-Ups?

And yet, despite this, the Paris Hilton prank still seems like the worst one of all. It might be that all plane crashes are legitimately horrific, or it might be the length of time that the prank is allowed to continue, but it’s completely unsettling and absolutely not funny. Hopefully Paris will soon be able to release another horrible single, and then the joke will be on her again.

Early-2000s Style Is Back! What Paris Hilton, Lil’ Kim, and Beyoncé Can Teach Us Now

A few weeks before the New Year, I’m scrolling through my Instagram feed when I land on an image of Lil’ Kim dressed in little else than a fringed bikini top and bottom, a Western gun belt fastened around her pint-sized waistline. The MC’s flaxen, waist-length tresses have been braided into two ponytails and she’s daintily flexing her cutout ankle boot toe daintily. I immediately message a colleague in the comments below: “Stepping into the new year like . . .” Within minutes he’s messaged me back.

It’s been a daily exchange since he advised me to follow the New York City stylist, curator, and vintage dealer Gabriel Held, who has culled a visually arresting compendium of throwback images that celebrate the braggadocios, ostentatious, and—dare I say—so-bad-it’s-good fashions of the early 2000s. Thousands of millennials flock to his page to reminisce and wince over the low-slung boot-cut jeans of Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton’s ruched minidresses, and Beyoncé’s customized stage outfits. Is their appeal now about camp, a sense of nostalgia, or a challenge to the normcore minimalist stylings of late? When I talk to Held, he suggests it may just be all three, a reminder that maybe we shouldn’t be so eager to throw out our ruches and ruffles after all. Here, Held talks about the fashion faux positives that defined the times and the early-aughts stars we can learn the most from now.

Bad Taste as Good Taste
What has spurned this return of bad taste as good taste? Some of it may be nostalgia. At the turn of the millennium, I’m sure people felt like the future is now, and we might be nostalgic for that. But what do I personally find inspiring about the early aughts? It’s when I really came into my own style. I was fascinated by labels at that point because I was a less-fortunate student at an affluent New York private school. But what I was able to do was thrift things on my meager weekly allowance that I would then sell back to the girls at school for a profit.

There’s also something about the highly manufactured imagery of the early ’00s—think David LaChapelle—that I think is almost more upfront and paradoxically a little bit more honest than some of the artists we have today. People were so conspicuous! Everybody was like, “Look at me! That’s right, I said look at me!” As opposed to today when people are like, “Maybe look at me in my beige coat . . . but don’t . . . but do, please.”

I consider myself to have invented a primitive version of Instagram. I had an empty vintage backgammon case with my favorite clippings from magazines and from catalogs—definitely Delia’s catalogs, but also Vogue. I carried that around all year, and I’ve been collecting images and making images for a long time. The Internet is a wealth of information in general, and on the basis of my “work” on Instagram, I am doing photo research gigs. I have a line coming out in collaboration with Print All Over Me in August, and I can tell you a couple of things are definitely informed by this era: the classic J.Lo jumpsuit silhouette, monograms, quilting, and a slew of other things. It’s a small capsule and will contain five looks available in five different textiles of my design, but here’s the kicker: You can upload any image to Print All Over Me and they can print you a fabric and ultimately make it a garment. Keep an eye out for that!

When Camp Becomes Collectible
Logomania never really went anywhere, and I could see low-slung denim and boot-cut denim even coming back in, but what I think really we’re going to see is stuff like ruffles and ruching like in a Tom-Ford-for-Yves-Saint-Laurent way, but also in a Roberto-Cavalli-ruffly-tiered-miniskirt way. Basically any style Beacon’s Closet deems “too difficult” to sell is what we should be looking for. I am really coveting all of John Galliano’s Dior—I feel like it will become as collectible as Tom Ford Gucci is at this point. Also, some lines that have taken a somewhat different direction, any of the pieces from their original glory days are appealing to me, in part because they’re in limited quantity now.

Fashion Faux Positives and the Movement That Truly Defined the Era
I think the “ghetto fabulous” movement was the most significant. There’s something poetic about it: the appropriation from high fashion to the streets, and then back into high fashion, all prevalent at that time. Designers started really paying attention to and being inspired by some of the hip-hop and R&B artists who were featuring their looks.

Two specific moments that symbolize this are Manolo Blahnik’s Timberlands and the fact that, other than her Manolo’s, Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw is most associated with her name-plate necklace. It’s the mixing of references, from high and low and really everywhere, that comes full circle here. My friend and sometimes collaborator Misa Hylton masterminded many of Lil’ Kim, Mary J. Blige, and Missy Elliott’s iconic looks—most notably, Lil’ Kim’s exposed breast at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. That’s what I referred to as a “fashion faux positive.” Whether people loved or hated that look, we’re still discussing it 15 years later, and the value of that kind of cultural contribution is something I can’t underestimate. It also gave us the moment of Diana Ross bopping her on the boob!

8 Early-Aughts Style Stars We Can Learn From Now
One thing about Misa Hylton’s work that really speaks to me is that she’s never afraid to try something differently from the way it was intended. Why not wear that necklace as a tiara? Why not cut up a fur and make it a bikini? That’s one thing that we could learn from the styles of the early 2000s: not to be afraid to appropriate things away from their original context or purpose.

Paris Hilton: I’m more a fan of Paris’s former aesthetic, but from her we can take some cues on accentuating your best features. She has that gorgeous giraffe neck and wasn’t afraid to wear a superwide Dolce Swarovski choker.

Lil’ Kim: Kim has been an endless source of inspiration to me. The best lesson from her is to be fearless and to really commit to your look.

Beyoncé: For the record, I put my money on Beyoncé from “No, No, No” onwards. The Tina Knowles technique was very influential to me, because at the time I was choreographing hip-hop numbers and I would always put the girls in some variation of a customized wifebeater and pair of customized jeans.

Mariah Carey: Mariah and her stylist Tonjua Twist’s work? There’s something so low fashion about it that it is kind of rebellious, which was really Mariah’s vibe at the time. If she wanted to wear an oversize T-shirt on MTV’s TRL or take a bath fully clothed on Cribs, she sure did it.

Mary J. Blige: I really feel that her essence is that she’s earned the right to do whatever she wants. Be fearless, don’t be afraid of labels, don’t be afraid of colors. I really loved that kind of 1960s direction that Misa Hylton took her in with the hooded chiffon outfits and cat eyeglasses around 1995.

Nicole Richie: Nicole Richie was also giving a real Eric Cartman “I do what I want” vibe. And honestly, to me that’s what everybody should do. I don’t really follow trends and I certainly don’t like being told what to buy, what to sell, and what to store. I’ll be the judge of that.

Britney Spears: From Britney we learn that it’s okay to have a signature body part. If you love your midriff, go ahead and show it off.

Naomi Campbell: What can we learn from Naomi Campbell? Be flawless. Next!
