I think you're blaming the wrong person... you need to blame the media.

From what I can tell... she was pushed into the spotlight, no?

I agree with you 100%. It is us. We are infatuated with celebrities. There are shows on TV and magazines just dedicated to reporting what the celebrities are doing. But she really wasn't pused into it. She is a glutton, she's eating it all up. Where's her sister? She seems to stay pretty quiet.

She's a fucking annoyance. Go away already Paris. We don't care. Stop soaking up so much attention. Sure she did things we all do in life, but for fuck's sake, stop needing to put your pouty face all over the media. She's famous for being famous. She's done nothing positive towards society. Typical of most of these heiress' around the globe. My hatred spews out because I am so sick of hearing about her. Soon as I open the paper, I see about her Rwanda bullshit. 2 months ago she's in jail and all over the media. As much as I've started a thread on here about her, as contradictory as this is going to sound, I don't give a flying shit about her. There are so many more people in this world that need attention other than that dimwitted asshole.

she'll go away when you stop reading about her and posting about her and paying money to hear about her. hate the culture that produces celebrity worship, not her. you contradict yourself. why is she famous? becos people like her. she never did anything and she doesn't force herself on anyone. people just obsess about her and that's not her fault. all she has done was manage to handle a hugely embarrassing situation well and parlay it into a tv show that lampooned her image. sounds like a damn fine Pr/business sense to me. maybe she's done nothing yet, but she's 25. what the fuck have you done for society? give her a few years... i've a feeling she's going to be one hell of a businesswoman when she inherits daddy's empire.

Her sister didn't have some asshole release a sex tape and try to make a fortune off her name, did she?

Because I read the article in the newspaper and decided to start the thread about it. It angered me that this airheaded person is now standing out for world issues when I doubt she even knows where Rwanda is. I found a lot of irony with the story. So what better place to bring some discussion than the Message Pit. I got you all talking this morning, didn't I??!!

Yeh you did but we don't mind her... we don't mind her going to Rwanda.

I'm also betting she's a lot more intelligent than she lets on or than people give her credit for.

How can I stop reading about her, she's EVERYWHERE!!! I can't go get groceries without seeing magazines with her. I read the paper to read some local issues, NOT PARIS HILTON! Don't blame me. And trust me, I wouldn't pay a cent to to hear about her.

she was? as i recall, no one knew her name until a private videotape was leaked onto the internet. she managed to turn it into quite a career, but that's only becos she's savvy. i don't think she was very happy about that tape surfacing, she just made the best of a bad situation.

then when you see the headline, you turn the page. very easy. as far as magazine covers... it must be very hard for you to have to stare at a sexy woman on a magazine cover for the 96 seconds you're in line at the grocery :rolleyes:

this is reason enough to loathe her? i still have not seen you provide anything she has actually done as reason to hate her. only the fact that she's famous and you feel this is an outrageous miscarriage of justice that this young girl is rich, beautiful, AND famous.

I'm torn on what to think of Paris. On one hand, I think people are WAY too hard on her. Like you say , ss, she is young and just having fun…I think at that age, I'd have been in a lot more scandalous positions with a camera following me everywhere. But at the same time….I have to disagree that she didn't create the media circus. She absolutely did. You can't tell me that sex tape wasn't leaked intentionally. I was used to hype her reality show…which, btw, is the only thing she's ever done to gain fame. What has she done since that show went off the air? …she is 100% a product of the tabloids. She handles the paparazzi well, but if she didn't handle them well, she would be a nobody (well, a stinkin rich heiress nobody). I don't feel sorry for her, but I don't dislike her. She chose the spotlight as a way to gain fame and noteriety, so she has to deal with the pitfalls.

From what I can see of her personality, I think she'd be a fun person to be around. I know a lot of girls that are like her (minus the millions) - hot and stupid…. sometimes they're the best company

As far as going to Rwanda goes….we'll see what she does when she gets back. If this is the start of her life as a humanitarian, power to her. If she comes back and gets busted snorting coke with Britney's kids, then there's a good chance she did it for publicity. She did say she was going to start using her fame for good after she got out of jail…hopefully she is doing just that. Good on her

Ha ha ha, no I haven't. Not in a year. And my sig is with sarcasm if you me personally, you'd understand it. Because when I did meet Eddie, I wasn't like a 14 year old girl meeting Justin Timberlake. It was very down to earth and I didn't get all into the fact of meeting a celebrity.

Sorry to say, we knew her name long before a porn tape of her came out.

man, as much as you deny it, you must follow the cult of celebrity fairly closely...I don't think many people knew who she was before that tape came out.

That tape only came out what, a year or so ago. The Paris Hilton fame has been out for a good 3+ years. I think as a byproduct of owning a TV and going to grocery stores, we are sucked into the cult of celebrity worship.

i hope they keep her there can they ? ,i would give her credit if she was taking a couple of planes loaded with medicine or food she has enough money to do that surely ......

I'm sure she'll bring a few kids home with her that's the 'in thing' these days, isn't it?
