What the hell is the big deal about Paris Hilton....

[LynneSin]

other than the fact that she has more money than all of us here at DU combined.

I mean come on world, can we find some real people in the news who make a difference in the world???!!!!???

[HEyHEY]

1. Hype

[Christof]

2. Um.....she's hot.

That's why.

Oh, don't forget that she's a brainless twit.

[Mr Bojangles]

4. Maybe if she gained 20 lbs.

Sorry, I like a little meat on my women xP

[Christof]

6. I love curves as well.

:)

[RoyGBiv]

13. She has curves...

Of course, they are curves caused by her bones poking out of her skin, but they're curves. :-)

I find her disgusting, both in personality and physical appearance.

[Mr Bojangles]

16. I prefer

not to get bruises from being intimate with my partner B-)

Give her some real food and have her do some manual labor and I'll reconsider.

[Shananigans]

8. Really?

I do NOT think she is that good looking. I have no problem admitting when a woman is "hot" so to speak. But Paris is so damn scrawny and has that long face...ok...I'll stop now.

I am definately not a beauty queen, but I guess I don't have half of American fawning over me either. :)

[CanuckAmok]

9. Did you see the video?

She's too skinny for me, too, but, boy, can she um... perform fellatio.

[Shananigans]

10. LOL...No, I haven't

I'll be sure to put it on my "must rent" list???

[mongo]

51. Don't bother

Unless you hate Paris - then it is worth it for the smug satisfaction.

A lot of it is shot in night vision - giving paris the glowing read raccoon eyes.

The camera man also is more interested in keeping the camera on himself rather than Paris.

[VOX]

17. Like the "Bullit" image.

:thumbsup:

[jackieforthedems]

54. She Was Also In A Sex Tape With A Woman

Named Nicole Lenz fyi.

[Christof]

48. I don't really think she's hot.

I just meant that many Americans like her because she's supposedly hot.

Give me a woman with Salma Hayek's or Cate Edwards' body type and I'll be the happiest man on this planet. :)

[wtmusic]

3. She's very attractive

but that isn't a big deal

[Darth_Kitten]

34. I disagree.....

Paris Hilton is like Anna Kournakova, she's so ugly she's popular? :shrug:

[Mr. Blonde]

37. Anna Kournikova ugly?

surely you jest.

[miss_kitty]

39. you are dazzled by the cameltoe, as are many men n/t

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

45. At least Anna Kournikova looks like a person

rather than a skeleton.

[RevCheesehead]

5. So that's a person, and not a Hotel overseas...

[bo44]

7. She's an illicit sexual act waiting to happen

Not that she is the only man or woman that fit the bill. She is fascinating to the Repug Press because she is rich, white, and young. A perfect trophy wife for millions of wannabe fake tough guy yuppies.

[greblc]

11. Ignore her she'll go away.

[Porcupine]

12. A rich girl doing free porn...

totally upsets the standard mindsets of sexuality of both liberals and conservatives. She was not "forced," coerced, or economically compromised in any way to do that. She just thought it would be fun to let people see her doing her thing.

She is a member of the uber-elite and is supposed to uphold the "family values" crap they use to co-opt poor white folks into voting for Bushco and his oligarch friends.

She is an unabashed, equal-opportunity bad example.

b.t.w.- I agree with those who think she could use 15 to 20 pounds.

[enigmatic]

14. Does zippo for me...

Salma Hayek, however...

[Ivan Sputnik]

15. Hate to admit it

but her popular reality TV show, "The Simple Life," is actually somewhat funny, at least to me. She doesn't seem to mind being exposed as an upper-class dimwit. I think she might become the Eva Gabor of the 21st century.

[miss_kitty]

20. "she might become the Eva Gabor of the 21st century"

coincidental, since grandpappy hilton was married to at least one gabor, if i remember the trivial gossip i do hate to know...

[LynneSin]

22. do we need an Eva Gabor of the 21st century

I'm not even sure I wanted one for the 20th century

[VOX]

18. She's a loser. With her name and $$$$, she has the capacity to do...

so much good in the world. But her choice is instead to be shallow, vapid and frankly stupid.

And those traits are **deeply** unattractive.

[miss_kitty]

19. "What the hell is the big deal about Paris Hilton....?"

as far as i can tell, the big deal is she 'did it' in front of a loaded camera and it got shown on the internet, caused lawsuits, and got released for purchase. she white and wealthy enough to be considered attractive.
she also goes 'commando'. some people are interested in that. i never knew who she was, until i got internet...and now i know more than i want to...

[ulysses]

24. "she also goes 'commando'."

Well, just EEK. :scared:

[miss_kitty]

40. no-'just EEK'

is the picture of her getting out of a car that i have seen.

[bogey18]

35. Goes commando?

What the hell does that mean?

[miss_kitty]

42. 'to go commando'

means to wear no knickers

[bogey18]

43. Truly, I am getting old

[roguevalley]

21. I like her dog. :-D

[Khephra]

23. Paris who?

Yeah, I know who she is. I don't find vapid people sexy, so I don't know what the big deal is either.

[onebigbadwulf]

25. Hot dumb blonde rich slut... every man's dream come true

what's not to get?

[SotarrTheWizard]

29. will, she's too skinny. . . . for one. . .

. . . and two, she's probably Republican. . .

The latter is even more objectionable.

And Hey, Paris, if you're so damned rich. . . invest in a coupla of gallons of Ben & Jerry's a week. . .

[Skittles]

26. she is an absolute skank

I have no freaking idea

[Pert_UK]

27. I should get inside Paris Hilton in a couple of weeks......

I'm working over in France for a few days and have been booked into Paris Hilton La Defense - apparently it's lovely!

Heh heh heh.

Regarding the vacuous bimbo though....She reminds me of an ex-girlfriend. Blonde, pretty, but willing to do anything for attention and totally without integrity.

Fun for a while, but no way to spend a life.

P.

[LynneSin]

28. Post pictures - you could probably get folks to pay for them

Perk_UK in Paris Hilton

:loveya:

[Deja Q]

30. Like Jessice Simpson and Britney Spears and Hillary Duff,

her body structure, facial appearance, and blonded dyed hair make her another clone of the others and they of her.

It's like the running gag in the old sci-fi comedy Quark; nobody knew which Betty was the clone. (though either Betty is far more attractive as they, unlike today's clones, look REAL and not manufactured and silicone-enhanced. :puke: )

[RFKHumphreyObama]

31. Keep in mind that she's been overheard stating she will vote for Kerry

in November 2004. That immediately puts her above Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and most of the others who are lumped into the same sort of category

[LynneSin]

32. Yeah, but I'm voting for John Kerry too....

...can you all worship me as a superstar???

:shrug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

46. We do!

:loveya:

[LynneSin]

52. ok how about folks outside of the world of DU

I mean, this is like our own world, but we are not alone!

[Darth_Kitten]

33. She has one UGLY face......

has anyone else ever noticed? She's really plain and uninteresting....... :D

[mvd]

36. I don't find one attractive thing about her

It seems like she's living off of Hilton fame. She's also a spectacle because of her wild ways.

A tech TV babe, like Morgan Webb, is a lot better IMO - though I'm in computers and not gaming.

I prefer these ( updated crush list: )

Katie Holmes
Colleen Haskell
Morgan Webb
Alyssa Milano
Scarlett Johansson
Rachel Bilson
Natalie Portman
Jennifer Garner
Salma Hayek
Thandie Newton
Elisha Cuthbert
Eliza Dushku
Reese Witherspoon
Amanda Peet
Ali Larter
Jennifer Connelly
Kim Smith
Amy Acker
Amber Tamblyn
Keira Knightley
Sharon Case (plays Sharon on Young And The Restless)
Aubrey Dollar (ex-Marina - Guiding Light)
Deborah Zoe (ex-Eden on Guiding Light)
Lauren Woodland (plays Brittany on Y&R)
Ashley Jones (former Meg on Y&R)
Mandy Bruno (plays Marina on Guiding Light)
Michelle Branch
Jenny Lewis (singer)
Bree Sharp (singer)
Andrea Corr

HM: Lindsay Lohan (from a Rolling Stone interview it looks like she's a Democrat, though not a very involved one. Here's the link:
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story?id=6388250&pageid=rs.ArtistSearch&pageregion=triple3) Danneel Harris (real up-and-comer from One Life To Live; I see her moving up,) Stephanie Gatschet (plays Tammy on Guiding Light,) Lindsey McKeon (ex-Marah - Guiding Light,) Alicia Silverstone

[GOPisEvil]

38. I have nary a clue!

I don't find her all that attractive myself. She's just not my type.

I can be bribed into thinking otherwise though. :evilgrin:

[Pert_UK]

41. Here's a picture from the 'net of Paris Hilton's famous entrance......

And the big deal is 94-109 € per night at the weekend...

:evilgrin:

LynneSin told me to do it....

P.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

44. Ugh

She's ugly, both personality wise and physically. Women who have more personality than a toothpick don't get the same attention she does. She gets attention because she is disposible. We are a nation that thrives on things that are disposible. We don't need to feel attached to them, and we use until something is gone or not wanted any longer. I would wager that twenty years from now nobody will know Paris Hilton, but people will still remember women like Oprah... because she has not allowed herself to become a disposible celebrity.

Just my thoughts on it.

[Obamarama]

47. She is living proof that....

While money can buy a hell of a lot of things, it cannot buy class, brains or looks.

The woman is a low-class skank...I don't care how much she has in her trust fund.

[UpsideDownFlag]

49. well, she has money

and is a poster child for anorexic girls nation wide.

[AngryAmish]

50. I find her fascinating

I think she is empirically attractive and a lunatic. She is the perfect embodiment of the mindless pursuit of fame at any cost. I suspect that for some being rich is not enough that they must be worshiped.

[NYC_warrior2]

53. I've often wondered the same thing...

But lately she seems to look less like that puppet madame and more like a decent looking chick. Maybe she's getting better looking with age or she's just growing on me.

Like this blister on my foot.

[Wapsie B]

55. I don't find her particularly great looking,

and her home movie was not that good. I don't understand this fascination with someone who's only accomplishment in life is that she was born into an obscenely wealthy family. She's a walking advertisement for the estate tax.

[I_Hug_Trees]

56. I hate the fact that

she is looked on as a sex symbol. She is only on TV because of her family. What a whore. I bet she is a closet lesbian too. She can't fool me.
