"It's totally not hot"

My Obsession with Paris Hilton

Since I first saw the Simple Life I have been fascinated with Paris Hilton, it's not that I look up or even remotely want to be like her, it's more amazement, perplexion, bewilderment and other words meaning similar states of puzzlement. Honestly, the girl speaks in phone slang... TTNY (talk to you never), OMG (oh my god) and LOL (laugh out loud) which makes her sound as if she has the IQ of a turnip.

You would think that a person with that amount of money would be content with indulging in life's pleasures without having the need to have the whole world following her every move, which the world already does anyway. Was it really necessary for her to go to a farm and also show that same world how stupid she is? Apparently so. Also she found it necessary to binge drink in front of paparazzi and (most importantly) run around in skimpy skirts with no underwear. Best of all is the way she then doesn't understand why people don't take her seriously! (OMG!) I mean, she is “an American socialite, heiress, media personality, model, singer, author, fashion designer and actress” according to her Wikipedia entry.

Her latest achievement has been, after putting her team to work, to find a new BFF (best friend forever) in My New BFF, as for unknown reasons all her other pals have either tried to nick her boyfriends or have not been there for here at times of mayor crisis. This just goes to show that even celebrities have it difficult in life! Here the concept was to find a group of young people, stick them in a house for a few weeks in front of loads of cameras. All this televised, of course, so to be sure that she will find a trusting new friend that is not there for the fame. The bunch of freaks they choose for this deserve their own entry all together.

I would like to believe that all this is a publicity stunt, an elaborate masterplan to control us all. But I seriously doubt it, as a friend told me recently “you have to be clever to be evil”.
