Eat The Press

paris carl jr car.JPGtina fey.JPGTina Fey was on Howard Stern yesterday, dishing about former SNL hosts and throwing a little hatin' Paris Hilton's way because apparently the woman is as much of a vapid nightmare as you'd expect. Cityrag transcribed a few nuggets, which we picked up via Best Week Ever, so we know that Hilton asked if she could play Jessica Simpson "because I hate her" "she's fat", shedded her "Barbie hair" all over the place, and never bothered to ask any of the cast a single question about themselves (i.e. "how are you"). We have a tidbit to add to this, one that we forgot to include in our roundup of SNL factoids a few weeks back: According to my SNL-insider source, when Hilton hosted, she toted her dog Tinkerbell with her the whole time. And one day during the week, little Tinkerbell took a little doggie crap on the floor of the Talent Office, just outside of where Lorne Michaels' office is. To her credit, Paris got some paper towel and cleaned it up herself. She then proceeded to be an exceptionally boring, untalented host.

Related in NBC Entertainment News: BWE has a clip of "The Office" featuring the "Lazy Scranton" orientation video, and, more importantly, the faceoff: Are you Team Pam Or Team Karen? Jeff Zucker doesn't care, he's just really, really relieved.
