2. Paris Hilton Dies - House of Wax
The marketing team behind the bland remake of the classic horror House of Wax clearly knew that they were onto a winner by their film featuring a Paris Hilton death scene. The studio didn't give a damn about spoilers, and brazenly discussed the scene long before release, well aware that the public, completely fed up with the socialite's behaviour and general persona by now, would pay good money to see her die a grisly, painful death. They got their wish in the film's single great scene, as Paris' character peers over the window of a car, only for the villain to throw a pole through it, going right through her head as she rebounds off a chain-link fence and smacks back to the floor. Crappy though the rest of the film is, this scene is pure demented indulgence, and superbly watchable as a result.
