Paris Hilton, Carmen Electra Invade SingStar Lounge

[Bijou Phillips, Nicky Hilton and Paris Hilton at the T-Mobile Sidekick Tone-Def After Party at a private airport hanger in Coachella Valley ]

Last night famously famous folks like Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton, Benjia Madden and Danny Masterson descended on the T-Mobile Sidekick Tone-Def After Party during the Coacehella Festival in Southern California to drink (a lot) and play SingStar on the Playstation 3 (a little). The place was, I'd bet, pressure washed afterwards with a mix of bleach and acid. Still won't do any good, but they do try.

Raise Your Own Bimbo

The latest game incurring parents' wrath? Miss Bimbo! The online sim has players take their own bimbo clubbing and shopping so that she becomes the "hottest, coolest, most famous bimbo in the world." And if that's not enough, the game apparently tells players to "stop at nothing" and use even "meds or plastic surgery" in their race to become the Queen of Bimbodom. The game is free at first, but eventually dips into PayPal accounts if you want to make any progress. So? What's the guff? Says Bill Hibberd of parents' rights group Parentkind:

It is one thing if a child recognises it as a silly and stupid game. But the danger is that a nine-year-old fails to appreciate the irony and sees the bimbo as a cool role model. Then the game becomes a hazard and a menace. Children's innocence should be protected as far as possible. It depends on the background and mindset of the child but the danger is that after playing the game some will then aspire to have breast operations and take diet pills.

Because hey, little girls don't get enough of that imagery in fashion magazines, movies and TV shows. The last place they need it is in some computer game!

Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational Moves To Paris

Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational is back for the fourth year, and this time it's the Koreans who'll be spending enormous amounts of cash on air fare! Gaming press around the world are no doubt highly pleased with the announcement that this year's show is moving to Paris France, home of some excellent food, better wine, and millions of French people.
"We look forward to bringing the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational to Europe for the first time and sharing our latest news with players there," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
The show will feature musical performances, a silent auction, discussion panels, developer signings, tournament gaming, and hands-on time with StarCraft II and the next Wow expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the new MMO we've been hearing so much about could very well be unveiled here, so get your asses to Paris on or around June 28th and 29th to be a part of what very well could be a bit of gaming history - or at least hang out with those friendly French folks.

Women Getting Pigeoned Holed in Gaming World - AGAIN


Charts, graphs, statistics, I love them all. It's how I learn who I am in the gaming world and that person is, apparently, a pathetic little lamb who wants to play Bejeweled on my mobile phone while watching reruns of Allie McBeal in my cold, lonely bed with my four cats. Yeah! Perfectly described. More »

Bonjour Invader!

Oooooh, this one looks vintage! This invader comes from Ulix, a Kotaku commenter, who saw this little gem on vacation in Paris near the Church "Sacre Coeur". Since Invader, the artist, started putting these tiles up in Paris in 1998, this could be one of the originals as time has obviously seen the wear and tear of time (and possibly vandalism). This inspires me to do some tiling in our new apartment or at least getting a few Space Invader pillows for the living room. More »

Sparkly Paris Hilton DS on eBay

If you found yourself drooling over the Swarovski crystal covered pink DS Lite designed by Paris Hilton we posted a few weeks back, then not only is their something wrong with you, but there is also a spark of hope, as one is now up for auction on eBay UK. I am assuming the seller simply had too much taste to keep the item for himself. More »

Wii Launches In Paris. At Night!

Well, this is nice. The Nintendo Wii just launched in Paris' most beautiful street, the Champs-Elysées. Yeah, I know it's dark and probably cold. And for people living in Paris, heading over to Virgin Megastore on the Champs-Elysées (where incidentally I met AC/DC a few years back!) is no big whoop. Still. I spent my Wii launch in a smoky parking garage. You? Brian Ashcraft More »

Paris Hilton, Girl Gamer?

CNET UK's Crave tech section has a list posted of the top ten girl geeks in history. Among the ranks of notable geek females is Ada Byron, the first programmer, and Lisa Simpson. Not a bad list, until you get to the bottom.

Oh no. Oh fuck no. Take her back! We don't want her!
Photographed numerous times clutching her PSP, and famous for having her Sidekick hacked, Hilton is, in her socialite heart, a geek. Hilton attended the gamer's Mecca, E3, and even stars in her own mobile game, Diamond Quest.

She gets paid to be photographed with stuff! If you paid me $10 to hold your pet snake and someone took a photo, I'd be as much of a snake expert as Paris Hilton is a gamer. Perhaps snake expert was a bad analogy to use here, but you get my point. I feel dirty. Michael Fahey More »

Olde Tymey Blogger: Geoffrey Chaucer

Like everyone and their brother, long dead author and poet Geoffrey Chaucer now has a blog, and covers very modern topics like Parys Launcecrona (Paris Hilton), Henri le Potier (Harry Potter) and video games. With The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer brought us a written record of just how effing different English was over six hundred years ago. For that, high school students will forever hate him.

E306 Justify Your Game: Paris Hilton's Jewel Jam

Gameloft got their spiel out for Paris Hilton's Jewel Jam in good time, managing not to mention the dreaded B word. You know the one we mean: Bejeweled. And yes, unlike Ms Hilton, Gameloft's rep got the name of their game right.

E306: Paris Hilton Doesn't Know The Name of Her Own Damn Game

Paris Hilton's spritely frame holds two pleasuresome yet empty concavities, one at each extremity. We all marveled at the first of these voids when an exboyfriend was kind enough to broadcast a video he made after hours with Paris to the denizens of the Internet. But it's really the hollow coconut bobbing underneath her pretty blonde hair that keeps giving us thrills. After all, doesn't the world seem like a better place when Paris Hilton shows up at E3 and doesn't even know the name of her own game? More »

Kotaku Stalku: Paris Hilton Launches Her Mobile Game At E3

By far the most retarded thing we've heard so far at E3 came this afternoon courtesy of a lady from Chicago in line at Gameloft's booth, who said, with absolutely no trace of irony, "I've been waiting an hour and a half to see Paris Hilton! I'm going to feel really stupid if she doesn't show!"

CORRECTION: Hip-Hop Enthusiast Using Video Games For Recruitment

Correction time! A little less than a week ago, we reported that intrepid jihadist modders were turning Battlefield 2 into Al-Qaeda training vids. In the time honored tradition of the copy-paste monkeys into which the lazy world of gaming "journalism" has made us, we took Reuters' initial article seriously. More »

British PSP Advert Name Checks Paris Hilton

Sony UK's PlayStation Portable ad campaign continues to smut up London streets. Thought it was impossible to top the previous adverts? Think again. The pictured image may have something to do with the handheld's GPS, but also makes blatant reference to Paris Hilton's infamous porn tape. Lovely how it's on a red double-decker bus. That way Sony can maximize their product alienation. Way to go! More »
