Why all the Paris Hilton hating?
I seem to see a lot of it here. Totally misplaced.

Look. She is rich, famous, and beautiful, she puts out, and she has a little dog she takes care of. She is also funny and pretty damn talented. You can bag on her all you want, but there is no denying her star power.

A babe for the ages:

5. I don't think she's worth all the hate
Edited on Tue Apr-12-05 12:37 PM by MrScorpio
I don't get a "heartless bitch" vibe from her at all

Let her enjoy her 15 minutes


EDIT: Talented? Looking cute for the camera maybe.

I can't see anything else

10. My problem is that she has become a role model for young girls
Young people have should have role models and in these days young females have very few strong, intelligent and truly talented women to look up to and emulate. All they have are skanky no-talent whores.

(Did I say that out loud? yes, I did.)

12. I wouldn't blame her for that
I'd blame the massive marketing Wurlitzer that does the same with all models and actresses.

It's a hell of a lot bigger that she is.

That's the true monster

28. Yes you're right. It isn't her fault but I still don't have to like her
I guess if the public is stupid enough to care about every move this woman makes then why shouldn't she take advantage of it?

22. Jealousy
I think Paris is plenty strong and intelligent. I'll admit that her talent (humor and good looks) could be questioned, but she is really a likeable celeb.

Paris is hardly corrupting America's youth.

44. Jealousy is the excuse those with no substance use
I'm not refering to you KFC, but refering to Paris. It reminds of Highschool, when some priss was put in her place she always came back to the "Oh they're jealous of me" excuse. It was their only defence.

47. I'm not jealous. I have more talent in my little finger than that she
has in her whole body.

I'm a great singer/songwriter/musician. I wouldn't trade places with her for anything.

And how hard it is to be a celebrity when your family owns one of the biggest hotel chains in the world?

48. Intelligent?
Yeah...there are so many pictures that the paparazzi has snapped of her perusing copies of Proust or attending a university to better herself because she CAN.

The girl had no idea what a fucking Wal-Mart was. Before her show, she had never been to a fly-over state, just L.A. and New York. So incredibly well-rounded.

Her main "talent" consists of standing slinkily in front of cameras while photogs snap away.

She's a bimbo. And an annoying one at that. I am so glad that I have no teenaged daughters who would be trying to dress like her or act like her.

She IS corrputing America's youth. She, and Britney, and Christina, and a whole mess of others. Whether it's the media machine or not, our daughters and other young ones are being fed trash and told that it's pop culture.

I notice you didn't answer Beaverhausen's question about having any teenagers.

But she's too skinny, and is a great example of what happens to "trust fund kids"; No taste. Not as stupid as she acts, though.

Edited on Tue Apr-12-05 12:53 PM by NicoleM
There. I just did it.

Where would she be right now without the internet and reality TV? I'd be willing to bet that the sex tape is the only reason why 90% of the people ever watched her TV show. If she had tried to embark on a "career" five years ago, nobody would know who the hell she is.

That said, I don't hate her. I think she's pretty much a non-entity.

Also, her "beauty" is by way of a scalpel. I've seen the before pics. She was not hot.

26. Paris Hilton, just going to show that you don't have to be poor,
To be white trash.:evilgrin:

Yes, I agree, she's rich, and spoiled rotten to boot. Beautiful? Well, I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to me, she's not beautiful at all. Bleached blonde, a plastic surgery makeover, looks so fake that that you just know she squeaks when she walks in the rain, no, this woman isn't physically attractive to me.

As far as her personality goes, I'm not impressed. Vapid, incredibly rude and spoiled, this woman has nothing constructive to offer. Another trust fund baby who thinks she's special. Sorry, I don't go for it.

And as star power goes, that's a laugh. She's a talentless hack, coming to the end of her fifteen minutes. She can't act, and the only reason she has a television show is because she is a notorious slut. You can say he has star power when she has a couple of major, non-porn movies under her belt.

And last, but not least, I think the thing that really burns me is that here she is, will all of this money, and name recognition, and does she do any good with it? No, instead she indulges her every little want and desire, and the rest of the world can go rot for all she cares.

I will be happy when her fifteen minutes are up, and she fades into obscurity and Trivial Pursuit questions.

37. Are you suggesting that being a model requires no talent?
Or starring in a TV show? Paris clearly has talent, if for nothing else than self-promotion. I think she has done pretty well for herself. The haters are just wasting their energy.

I have no problem with her except I don't like to see dogs as accessories. And the trend is there for young girls to want one. And then they don't know what to do with them and the dogs get dumped.

That's my only beef really.

53. Um, you're completely and totally wrong...
she's not rich, her parents are. They're ALSO the reason she's famous. She's NOT beautiful unless your idea of "beauty" includes the anorexic, peroxided result of an expensive plastic surgeon. She's shallow, vapid, and the fact that ANYONE knows who the fuck she is in the first place is yet another sign of our society's sick obsession with celebrity. If I NEVER hear her name or see her face again, I'll be happy.
