"She can command $100,000 just to show up at a restaurant or club opening for an hour."

Well, I'm just amazed at that fact. But if you want to read a long meditation on why it's fun to hate Paris Hilton, go to the link. (Via A&L Daily.)

Man... I'm sorry, but I gotta rant: What the !$#^@ has Paris Hilton contributed to society besides a dumbass phrase (as if no one's ever said "That's hot" before), and a fellatio video?

Cripes, one hundred grand... to be a mannequin with a pulse at a party... gimme a break...

Personally, she bores me, but to give credit where credit is due, good for her - I hope she is laughing all the way to the bank.

(1) I wonder if she does that relentless posing thing when she's alone at home?

(2) She reminds me that I was wrong. In high school, I thought the vicious social politics were vapid, meaningless, and not about real life. My mistake. Real life is vapid factorial.

That article is wrong when it says her album was a hit. It actually was a huge flop, never went to the top of the charts, and didn't even go Gold.

I wouldn't walk across the street to see her for free so its not an investment that makes any sense to me.

But I know people who spend good money to watch big sweaty guys yell at each other and fake wrestle. Go figure.

Makes you sort of sympathetic to the French Revolution...

I actually listened to the Hilton CD...or at least some of it. Not only was it not a hit, as Christopher pointed out, it completely deserved not being a hit.

Paris spends her money having a good time, while Conrad wanted to give it to the Catholic Sisters.

Which one is supposed to be the idiot, again?
