Thats so hot.

I'm not buying it, BonsaiK. Not after the good folks at Gawker broke this story:

What are you talking about? It worked, didn't it?

I'm pretty sure the Venn diagram circles for "down to earth" and "shoves an 8-ball and some X in her hoo-ha" don't overlap.

You know, you sound jealous.

Well thats a retarded thing to say but meh, considering who I am dealing with its kinda par for the course.

Is it because they have money, fame and popularity, and you don't?

They are smart people. Smart enough to make theor personalities earn them money. The more you hate, the more you kick and scream, the more media attention they get, the more money they make.

BonsaiK is right - Paris is smart!

Money, yes. Fame, gods no, I have no desire for that. Popularity? A) I already have that. B) She is hated by pretty much everyone other than her own group of parasites.

Now, let me clarify once again for the slow amongst you. They are not smart people. Their personalities do not earn them money.
Their names bring them fame. Their parents money earns them money.
What have they done themselves? Go on. Answer that.
Name one thing (apart from sucking a dick on camera, and that only got her noticed because she was one of the Hilton kids) that Paris has done for herself to make her own money or fame that did not rely on her daddies name and money.
Bet you wont be able to add a single damn thing.
And that goes for all the other parasites I named (with the exception of Sharon and fuck knows how that sack of shit Jack Black got famous)

They are not rich and famous because they are smart. They are rich and famous because of who they are related to. They have done nothing themselves to deserve respect.

Jack Black got famous for being a then-unknown actor in the film adaptation of Nick Hornsby's High Fidelity and stealing the fucking film. Everything else snowballed from there.

Paris Hilton got famous by getting caught with a pearl necklace, and then instead of shrinking into denial or hiding and hoping that the situation would go away, switched on her brain and thought "well, this sucks, but there's one hell of an opportunity here". Name one other hieress who instead of just sitting on daddy's money, has actually bothered to build a brand for herself to the point where you hear her surname and you think immediately of her instead of her dad. You can't, because there isn't one. Does anyone even know Paris' father's first name without Googling it?

You'd be surprised. I know people who have done similar things and I wouldn't say that precludes them from being down-to-earth people...

Well, you do work in the land of Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, so I imagine your definition of "down to earth" is a bit different from mine.

That's a fair point. I actually get to experience the personalities behind the media machine. It does give a person a slightly different perspective on things.

Paris Hilton got famous by getting caught with a pearl necklace, and then instead of shrinking into denial or hiding and hoping that the situation would go away, switched on her brain and thought "well, this sucks, but there's one hell of an opportunity here".

I always thought that she set that situation up. As far as I know, there was no action, legal or otherwise, taken against the guy who released it in the first place. I think she took a look at what happened with the Pam Anderson video and said to herself "If I had a sex tape accidently slip out, I have a chance to get my name out there as much as Pam Anderson" Even if it hadn't worked and didn't make her famous, she'd still be rich enough for there to be minimal consequences to her.

Seems to have worked for her. Others such as Kim Kardashian have also since used that method to gain celebrity status as well.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I'm honestly a little surprised at how coherent she was, though I had heard that she was surprisingly smart.
I don't think she'd bring anything to the table that didn't already want to be there, so... yeah.

 

[Krion_Vark]

I came to this thread thinking it was about Magma or fire. I am greatly disappointed.

OT: Most people are a lot smarter than they are given credit for its all how the media wants to portray the people.

Name one other hieress who instead of just sitting on daddy's money, has actually bothered to build a brand for herself to the point where you hear her surname and you think immediately of her instead of her dad. You can't, because there isn't one. Does anyone even know Paris' father's first name without Googling it?

Kim Kardashian & Miley Cyrus just off the top of my head. Kardashian by following Paris's lead and putting out a fuck tape, Miley by actually having some sort of talent for herself.
And lets not forget the most important thing. Paris built her name because she already had the name and money to do so. As I said. Its not hard to throw daddies money around until you finally find someone that makes you some money "of your own"
If it were not for her name and daddies money to use, not as a stepping stone but as a fucking stepping mountain, she would never, ever, have gotten anywhere because she is not talented enough at anything.

I love how this thread has drifted most awesomely off-topic.

I didn't even know who Kim Kardashian was until I looked it up just now so I guess if she was aiming for publicity, it hasn't worked. Therefore I'm not sure if she counts. It appears that her media career started before her sex-tape antics anyway, especially given that the sex tape is supposed to involve her TV co-stars.

Paris Hilton also had plenty of fashion industry involvement before the sex-tape scandal, and the first season of The Simple Life was shot before the sex tape leaked. Also, I can't find any hard evidence anywhere that she used her father's money to boost her career instead of money she earned herself from her modelling career, which once again existed for years before the sex tape.

Pam and Tommy's sex tape did their careers no favours at all. Paris was an unprecedented (at that time) example of a sex tape actually having a positive effect on someone's career, so all the "fake leaks" are post-Paris (which might include Kim, I don't know enough about that situation to comment). Nowadays they pretty much SMS the cleaner with the location of the cassette and a post office box to drop it into, but when the Paris tape leaked, it was still perceived as a wholly negative thing and Paris did in fact make some moves to try and stop the tape's distribution to no effect, before wising up.

Kim Kardashian (and her idiot sisters, one of whom is married to a basketball player, the other of whom is famous for...well, something, maybe for being Kim Kardashian's sister) has a reality-TV empire in the US---her big Armenian bubble butt is the Prolefeed Flavor of the Month in America these days.

More to the point, she passes the Fox test, as codified by my friend Diana: "Someone isn't famous until even Fox has heard of them." (since I don't own a TV, prefer classical and classic rock music, and don't care much for Hollywood films.)

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

I never liked Hilton, shes just... to stupid. Frankly, to see her in any type of gaming scene or anything all together would probebly be a morbid scene. However i detest her, and i don't find her attractive at all.

 

[captaincabbage]

I think I speak for most people when I can confidently say Paris Hilton can FUCK RIGHT OFF.

So wait you're saying that you none of your parents money went to you and that your completely self-suffcient?
