With her reviled TV show, “I Want to be a Hilton,” Kathy Hilton has finally achieved her goal of being just like her daughter Paris: famous for nothing, loathed for everything.

This week’s National Geographic doc on King Tut played like the most high-brow episode of CSI ever (cause of death: a tornoff kneecap and serious leg fracture that led to infection and the boy king’s demise).
3) Winters, discontent
A cranky rule-bender with a palpable moral compass who considers a bloody pummeling of his out-of-control brother a “conversation”: Dean Winters, a hilarious foil to Denis Leary on “Rescue Me.”

10) Prerogatives
We’ve already spotted the money shot of reality show “Being Bobby Brown” – the singer anxiously applying Preparation H to his baggy eyes in the aisle of a drugstore.
