Visitors at the Twin Towers are outraged the Hiltons are still receiving preferential treatment after Rick and Kathy Hilton managed to breeze past other visitors to see their daughter on Tuesday.

Alvina Floyd, one visitor to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, waited more than four hours to visit her fiance. It normally takes two hours, and Floyd, 20, blamed the Hiltons for the delay.

Shatani Alverson, 23, said she was hustled out of the jail’s visiting room moments after her husband walked in because of the Hiltons. She was told to come back after lunch.

What’s also outrageous is this cookies and cream ice cream has no cookies. Where are the cookies?!

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried and his wife Dara Kravitz welcomed their first child, Lily Aster Gottfried, yesterday in New York City. Dara told us she has a full head of brown hair and is “so cute.”

Paris Hilton has been dropped by her team of agents at the Endeavor Talent Agency because she “just wasn’t worth it.” A rep for Endeavor confirmed that, “Paris is no longer a client.” A source tells US:

“There was a lot of tension between Paris and her agents for a while. Her legal messes have totally consumed her, and she was always a difficult client. The goal was to make her the Martha Stewart of her generation. It just didn’t work out that way.”

How did Paris even land a talent agency in the first place? “Look, she can, like, stand around. You need somebody to stand around? We’ve got your woman.” And how were they thinking she’s anything like Martha Stewart? Hey, guys, I found an old basketball on the street. Maybe that can be the next Martha Stewart too. How about this bowl of cereal? My sock?

During the night Paris Hilton spent under house arrest last week, she was reportedly visited by a plastic surgeon. At 4 a.m. last Friday, paparazzi agency x17 spotted a man leaving Hilton’s Hollywood home, who confirmed to a cameraman that he was Hilton’s doctor. The same man was spotted later that day outside the socialite’s ill-fated court hearing. Turns out the man is Dr. Steven Hoefflin, a cosmetic surgeon with the moniker of “plastic surgeon to the stars,” who has done work on Michael Jackson, Sylvester Stallone, Joan Rivers, Elizabeth Taylor and Janet Jackson. A source close to the Hiltons says Dr. Hoefflin is the hotel family’s private doctor, who consults with them on medical issues - including cosmetic enhancements.

After lunching and partying it up with Avril Lavigne on Friday (June 8), Shakira hit the town the following night with another gal pal - Penelope Cruz. The Colombian and Spanish beauties were spotted arm-in-arm heading into Parc for a little fun at John Mayer s concert afterparty. Penelope Cruz and Shakira at John Mayer s concert afterparty Can we take a moment to talk about how great Penelope looks? The girl is in her 30’s and she gives any 20 year old a run for their money.

In a recent interview with MTV to promote his new movie 1408, John Cusack touches on other topics ranging from Zack Snyder’s The Watchmen to Hilary Duff. Although not yet being considered for a role in the much anticipated movie, Cusack expressed his love for the comic and threw his hat into the ring. The topic quickly shifted to Hilary Duff because there is nothing people want more in the world than to hear Cusack praise a girl as bland as the cereal I’m dumping onto my neighbor’s balcony right now.

MTV: Is it true you requested [Hilary Duff for “War, Inc.”]?

Cusack: Yep. Well, the part was … she played a pop idol from central Asia. So, she was like a Hilary but not Hilary, because Hilary is so classy but like a real, and I won’t name names, but a real slutty pop star. … Hilary is the opposite of that, of course. I think for her to play that, or to parody that, was really great.

MTV: What’s the biggest misconception [of her]?

Cusack: I think probably people wouldn’t know how talented she is. I mean, she’s a great actress. I just spent the entire fall with her and she was a revelation every day. I don’t think people know that yet, but they’re gonna.

Hilary is classy and talented? That must mean I’m on the apex of both. The Red Lobster bib I wear to restaurants is about as classy as it gets and I have more talent in my fists than Hilary Duff has in her whole body. These lethal weapons can KO a bear and can almost stop a hungry Rosie O’Donnell from getting at the Snickers bar in my pants. Don’t get me wrong. Hilary’s pretty talented for a horse. She makes Mr. Ed look like a common street mime, but compared to a human? No way.

Kellie Pickler and Canadian hockey player Jordin Tootoo have a lot in common. Most importantly?

“We’re each other’s biggest fans,” the former American Idol singer says.

Pickler the Nashville Predators right wing met after they bought condos in the same Nashville complex, where Tootoo spotted Pickler and asked for her phone number.

Pickler tells People magazine they were friends at first, but the relationship had turned romantic by spring.

“We’re from real different places, but they’re both small towns so we’re a lot alike too,” she says (she’s from Albemarle, N.C.; he grew up in Rankin Inlet, a small town in Nunavut in Canada’s Northwest Territories).

Now, she says, “We let each other shine in our moments and are so proud of each other. I go to games and I’m the fan in the Predators jersey, screaming my head off. He comes to my concert with a Pickler t-shirt and he does the same.”

Awwww. It’s like another athlete/Idol couple, we assume: Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood.

Fittingly, Kellie and Jordin’s first date was to a hockey game, a sport about as foreign to Pickler as Tootoo’s native tongue, Inuktikut. (The first player of Inuit descent to play in the NHL, Tootoo is also fluent in English.)

“We had a little communication problem at first,” Pickler says with a laugh. “And I had never been to a hockey game we didn’t have hockey in Albemarle. I had no idea what was going on, but I loved it anyway. It’s so fast and exciting!”

On Thursday, Pickler will take a break from Brad Paisley’s “Bonfires and Amplifiers” tour and travel way north of the border to spend a week with Tootoo and his family.

“I’m just so excited about seeing where he is from,” she tells People. “It will be a totally different culture and I’m fascinated by other cultures. I have no idea what to expect. I know they do a lot of hunting and fishing and they eat what they kill. It’s not like there’s a Subway down the street. It’s also been snowing up there, so I’m going to learn to drive a snowmobile. If it’s anything like 4-wheelin’, I’m set!”
