Paris Hilton the Mother

"I know that when I have kids and a family, that's when my real life starts and that's what real happiness is."

-Reality TV star and snobby rich girl Paris Hilton (Elle Girl, May 2005)

Good to know Paris Hilton has some priorities in life, though they seem to have little effect on her now, but can you imagine having Paris as a Mom? Yikes.

Christina Ricci Avoided Mirrors

"As a teenager, I didn't like to look in mirrors. I'd put collages and stuff over them; left the lights off in the bathroom. Those are the years when I feel like you hate yourself or love yourself."

-Actress Christina Ricci (Teen Vogue, April 2005)

C'mon, who couldn't love Wednesday Addams, Ricci's break-out role in 1991 remake of The Addams Family? Creepy, yes. But still cute. Sadly, mirrors can be a bit too powerful.

Mae's Jacob Marshall on Jesus

"For me, Christianity is the act of mirroring the details of what Jesus lived. If you look at the details of his life, he exemplified love in the sense that he sacrificed his life for humanity. Whether or not you believe in specific doctrines, when you boil it all down--the denominations, etc.--the essence is faith in this guy Jesus. He is a person who invites people to pursue God, but when people try to own it or box it in, it results in factions and division."

-Jacob Marshall, drummer for the band Mae who just released Everglow. You can hear six full songs on purevolume. (Relevant Magazine, March/April 2005)

Britney Spears Whining

"I have to tell the maid to buy diapers and get the pool boy to walk the dog? Can't I just make out with Kevin all the time? Being married sucks."

-Britney Spears, complaining in Allure magazine about the responsibilties of family and stepchildren. (Time, March 28, 2005)

If this is what happens when you become rich and famous, I think I'd rather be penniless and unknown.
