Celeb Career Thermometer: Taylor Swift vs. Paris Hilton

HOT: Taylor Swift to Host SNL

The country cutie and Best Female Video winner is slated to host this week's episode of Saturday Night Live. Swift, 19, who was asked to host the show over the summer, certainly has plenty of material to draw from when brainstorming skit ideas. "There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits," she said. Could one of those things be when Kanye "Foot in Mouth" West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in September? We're going to go with yes on that one. Kanye, maybe you should take a page from Palin's book and show up to prove you're a good sport. Because come Monday morning you'll undoubtedly be the butt of everyone's jokes -- thanks to a "swift" kick from a teenager.

NOT: Paris Gets a Piglet

Paparazzi magnet and PETA offender Paris Hilton will be adding a new member to her ridiculous pet posse -- a pigelette named Princess, of course. "She's still a baby, so she's with her mom, getting ready for me. She'll be a perfect addition to the family," she told Usmagazine.com. Added Hilton, "It loves the dogs. They're smarter than dogs!" (And their owners apparently.) After the reality star shelled out 45 hundo for the special teacup breed, PETA issued a statement calling Hilton a "wretched example" whose pets are "as disposable as her friends and fiances ... The Chihuahuas, ferrets and kinkajous she's paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren't either." Responded Hilton, "It's a lot better for the pig to be home with me than be made into bacon." And it would also be a lot better for society for you to keep your mouth shut.
