Re: Paris Hilton
[ QUOTE ]
do you guys think she is a. a complete moron b. fairly smart? [/ QUOTE ] These are the two main schools of thought about Andy Warhol as well, but I think he deserves his own thread. Many parallels between the two.

Re: Paris Hilton
[ QUOTE ]
Its obvious that she is business savvy and knows how to make money. In that sense she is fairly smart. It also seems like she is a moron. So, both [/ QUOTE ] it SEEMS like she is a moron though, the extent of what I know of her comes from her porno's and what I see here, I never watch the news about her/or anything she does. Seeming like a moron is completely different than being one though.

[/ QUOTE ] American culture more and more revolves around the cult of celebrity, and Paris is the first true professional celebrity - in the sense that she does absolutely nothing to be a celebrity (sports, movies, politics, etc.) - she just IS. Madonna was the first true pioneer of hype/promotion, but Paris has taken it to a whole new level, in the sense that there is nothing behind the hype. Think back to the classic Seinfeld NBC pilot shows - "the show is about nothing" - brilliant foreshadowing a decade before it came to be. Paris is a show about nothing. And why do people watch it? To quote Costanza, "because it's on TV". Porn stars are now legitimate celebrities - I mean it's now almost culturally OK to take 2 dicks in your ass at the same time because you are "famous". Paris is a moron in the sense that she is absolutely ignorant and ditzy, but she know that pub = money, and she has great handlers. Classic case of any pub is good pub.

Re: Paris Hilton
At first, because I kept hearing that she was 'a hilton heiress' I assumed she was 'the hilton heiress' and was going to inherit a gazillion dollars anyway and was probably a total embarassment to her family.
Then I discovered how many kids and grandkids were in the hilton clan, and that although her family is minted they are not gazillionaires. Then I felt manipulated and used [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
