Katy Perry seems to be constantly on tour these days, doesn’t she ever take a break? Here she is during another one of her annoying performances doing her thing in a stupid costume.

Actually, even if your not wearing something stupid, those girls need to be exposed.

 Interesting way to make your own ghost

Even the greatest actors and directors can bomb now and then. They hope to fly under the radar, but sometimes, not even the best can escape the Golden Raspberry Awards. Here are the distinguished few who have both an Oscar and a Razzie on their mantel.

I know that the 80′s look is back in style these days and I normally can’t stand it, stupid hipsters ruining my good memories, but when a hot piece of ass like Kelly Brook decided to break out her tight pink denims and a crop top I’m all for it. I think the fact that she’s also wearing a sweet pair of high heels instead of ironic Hush Puppies or Converse sneakers makes the whole thing come together. I hope this is a lesson for all you hipster chicks, this is how you get laid. You’re welcome.

Celebrities and well-known others will slip on their dancing shoes today for the launch of "Dancing With the Stars." Let's hope they stay on their feet, given the number of people who have been injured while pursuing the dance challenge. Let's review the show's medical charts:

This season: Already two of this year's would-be waltzers have been hurt. Former House majority leader Tom DeLay has a problem but refuses to recuse himself. Model Kathy Ireland didn't hurt herself on the dance floor, but she still managed to end up with stitches.

Last season: Eight dancers faced challenges to their samba status. Before she hit the stage, singer Jewel fractured bones in both her legs. Watch her talk about the show. Nancy O'Dell, "Access Hollywood" co-host, might have gone at rehearsals a little too enthusiastically.

Poor Melissa Rycroft: First she gets the boot from "The Bachelor," then she steps in as a replacement, only to break a rib. Another replacement, a Playboy model turned "Girl Next Door," also hurt a rib.

As if that wasn't enough, this sexy actor also was hurt, but he stayed on his feet. But "Jackass" star Steve-O's move fell flat. Though this titan of the computer world fractured his foot and pulled a hamstring, the injuries didn't keep him off the floor. See for yourself. Even a rodeo king took a hit.

Kim Kardashian NBA All-Star After Party

Paris Hilton and Cy Waits went shopping for an engagement ring in New York City on Friday. The loved-up couple were spotted in jewelers Jacob & Co. looking at several different sparklers, including a rare 30-carat blue diamond. Despite inspecting the betrothal bands, the pair don't have any happy news to announce just yet, but Paris did leave the store with a $25,000 black diamond-encrusted ring for her 30th birthday - which was on Thursday.


However, the hotel heiress insists it won't be long until she and Las Vegas club owner Cy do commit to one another.

1. Salesforce.com

Average total pay: $318,323
For: Senior Account Executive*
Best companies rank: 52

Salesforce.com goes to extremes to reward the top performers who have helped drive its growth. No wonder this online software provider tops this year’s list of best payers.

The sales force gets hefty bonuses. The biggest earners get to enjoy goodies like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” — a $5,000 shopping spree offered during last year’s sales incentive trip to Hawaii. Since Tiffany doesn’t have a store in Kauai, Salesforce.com hired local carpenters to recreate one, shipped in $1 million in merchandise from surrounding islands, and hired a violin player, chef, and even Miss Hawaii to add ambience.

Not that they don’t spread the wealth around: Full-time employees receive a “Mahalo Bonus” (Hawaiian for “thank you”), twice a year — up to 140% of the target payout. And those lucky employees who’ve received stock have seen their shares more than double in value over the past year.

It’s nice to see that all of Lindsay Lohan’s latest legal troubles haven’t affected her hotness in the least, here she is looking absolutely amazing in some photoshoot for something nobody gives a crap about. The chick is just sexy, I’d like to scramble her eggs. I don’t really know what that means, but I think it’s appropriate for this situation. Anyhow, I’m a big fan of this Lindsay, she photographs well, I can’t wait to see her in Playboy some day. You know it’s going to have to happen eventually.

 For all those men and women who think that Victoria’s Secret has the hottest underwear out there, take a look at these amazing Harebrained Period Panties.
