Paris Hilton

[StephenKingman]

I'll come straight to the point- she makes me sick, absolutely, paralytically angry.

Why? She is in a very very privileged position with regards to having enough money for the rest of her life and yet she wastes every cent of it on 350k bottles of champagne, one yacht party after another, perfume launches and just generally flaunting her money in everyone's face without a care for how she is perceived. It just confirms the fact that often money picks the most horrible people to favour and she does NOTHING to counteract the impression that she is a spoilt little trust fund brat.

Every day she is in the paper at a party, buying drinks and cars for her mates, wasting her days talking rubbish and not contributing a cent to society. If i had even a fraction of her wealth, it would all go to charity, good causes, helping others etc. Yes i know thats very idealist but i wouldnt dare waste a cent like she does every single day of her pointless life, she doesnt even have any talent, she is famous for her x-rated movie and her sinful waste of money.

And now i see on the news she faces (ha ha) up to 4 yrs in prison for cocaine charges, as if she will serve a second, and so the Hilton rollercoaster rolls on and on, she disgusts me.

I couldn't agree more, but the funny thing is I just had my own soap-box rant with my co-workers regarding her behavior. She is merely a stupid young girl who seems starved for attention (regardless whether it is in a negative or positive light).

The thing is Paris Hilton has always and probably will always live on a different level than most of us. Our thoughts and feelings about her irresponsibility are non existent to Paris. Her actions are her own and I try very hard to not have any feeling towards what she does or how she spends her time and money. It just doesn't matter, it doesn't pay to rant to friends and it doesn't pay to post about her nothing I or anyone who isn't wealthy say or feel will ever change what she does. If she wants to spend her money on dope and smoke so hardcore that she gets pulled over and arrested for cocaine that's her choice and it doesn't effect me in the slightest. Karma will eventually hunt her down and in her next life she'll be born a poor drug addicted homeless again something that doesn't effect me aside for the compassions I feel for her. But to get so agitated over her is simply a foolish act, get angry over something you can contribute to.

I know nothing about her as I have no interest in people who are famous for being famous .... but on a broader front I would say you can never know what someones life really is like, I mean it can't be pleasant being surrounded by equally vacuous people & knowing that for all your wealth you probably don't have a genuine friend in the world. I mean someone who cares about you regardless of your wealth or fame and who would be prepared to point out your defects and would still be there for you if you hadn't a penny to your name.

The old expression 'Walk a mile in my moccasins' comes to mind.

This young lady need to grow up and hopefully she will do so IN PRISON how is it that 3 times she's caught in car with friends, and drugs are found..... 3 times.... she's either unlucky to pick bad friends or she's lucky to get away with it 3 times... my advice Paris grow up and find a proper job something that make you a valued human being

I understand what you are saying but when she is as big a presence in the daily media and news as she is then its nigh in impossible to ignore her brash and constant presence which she also seeks, she is an attention seeker and the crazy part is that she gets the attention, she should be stripped right now of her trust fund and made to live like an ordinary person. Now i know thats never gonna happen but every time i see her i want to put my foot through the tv, its her plain insensitivity to the world round her that annoys me and the fact that obviously some people out there actually care enough about this nobody to continue the publicity machine on and on.

Kingman, I'm really curious where this rage towards this person comes from. Why would you wish harm and misfortune on someone who is so far removed from yourself that the only connection you both share is through digital media. If one such as Paris Hilton elevates your rage to such a point where you fantasize about putting your foot through a television what do the atrocities put upon third world native do to you.

Why do you feel that because of her wealth that she should be held to a higher moral standard than you or I? She, by all appearances, is as clueless as many young people are these day. She's invincible and everywhere is a party. Why should sh care anymore about her fellow man than most young adults do?

To strip away her trust fund, what would that do? Would that teach her to be as humble as you or I without the wealth? People like Paris, Kim K, and the other celebutants that roam the earth, people like them I've a feeling would succeed in life and find wealth regardless if it was given or taken away.

I regard myself as a moral and charitable person so when i see people like her flaunting her non-life, her pointless perfumes, her endless supply of glitzy parties and her attention seeking privileged life in the face of the public of course it annoys me, why wouldnt it? To see her lifestyle in my face almost every day ( i read papers and watch the news so there is no getting away from it) is like giving a message to her 'fans' "I will never give any of my money to charitable causes, i will always be spolit and brash and talentless".

I donate extensively to charity and worthy causes and yes of course the third world plight is heart wrenching and complex but i am talking about one particular person here and i seriously think she should have all coverage of her wiped out instantly, there are far more important things going on in the world than what some trust fund twit does with her money so to her fans i say fair enough follow her but this extensive publicity and coverage is nothing short of sinful and that, my good sir, is why she disgusts me.

Also, i strongly disagree that Hilton would gain wealth without her famous family, she has neither the savvy or talent to make it as a success without a financial crutch.

How do you know she gives nothing to charities? I know it sounds a lot like I'm defending Paris and her lifestyle and I guess I am to an extent. But it sounds to me like you're more angry with the media giving her this attention and it boggles me why people would ever let her or any other celebrity cause them rage.. I mean if none of us good upstanding citizens paid her no mind then she would disappear like smoke on the lips as would the rest.

I do hope you don't think I was saying you didn't care about third world issues as that was furthest from my intent.

[laci_baby]

I agree with StephenKingman... Paris is pointless. Think about it..what is she famous for? Having sex on tape, partying and being stupid. What kind of life is that? All she's showing is that you have to be rich, brainless and willing to spread your legs to anyone thats anyone to make it in this world. Think of how many girls look up to her!! Shes ruining not only this generation, but the next too because all these girls are going to think its ok to flash their crotches at people. It's sick! She's a spoiled little brat that gets whatever she wants. Whats sad is that i know plenty of men and women that bust their hides just to put a roof over their heads, and this hootchie gets paid a million dollars to fly to Australia and wave!! It's ridiculous what this world is coming to.

[Fran]

Has she ever read a book in her life?

OK so what on earth are we doing talking about her on this forum?

[Tip the Bottle]

Again, the things people hate about her are for the most part not her own fault. Laci, you point out her crotch shots I never saw a shot where she was there holding her dress/skirt up for people too see. All of those pictures are taken by paparazzi who took the photos when she's been getting out of vehicle, low riding vehicles and selling them for profit. Sure she had sex on tape, the internet is full of videos of the home variety of people who are uninteresting.

I'm not trying to say that she shouldn't conduct herself a bit better in the public light I'm just saying she is insignificant and really should get people so heated. If anger is what you feel when you see her then maybe direct it towards media like TMZ, Acess Hollywood and the like who put this material above world problems. It's not Paris' job to raise our young women to be respectful of themselves and their bodies it's a parents responsibility.

What you are saying is true, that ordinary people would not and should not give a damn about people who flaunt their wealth, the problem is, as i stated, that Hilton is so exposed and ever-present in the media that it is almost impossible to avoid seeing her outrageous lifestyle, in fact what prompted this thread was the fact that Sky News interrupted their bulletin to report as "Breaking News" that Hilton was arrested for alleged drug use, now who the hell cares enough about her to stop the major news reports? So yes, as you say in one way the media is to blame as they shower her with attention.

But she is ALSO to blame because she courts the attention, laps it up, uses it for her own gain time and time again and generally makes a living from spending money. What message is that to her young fans, that its ok to do nothing and waste away at parties all your life? Thats why she annoys me, she is such a proud leech to society. And although i have no idea if she donates to charity or not, i would feel pretty safe saying that she spends money on nothing or nobody but herself....

Well, it is off-topic....

[andr70]

You know I've also thought of it one day, how unjust life may be, I mean those who have enough money just don't know what to do with it, and there are millions who suffer from hunger or any kind of desease and needs the money more
