In the old days, you were a celebrity because you were good at something

*This may very well be one of the most vacuous posts I've made.

So Paris Hilton has "written" a book. And is "recording" an album. And will be "acting" in a film or two. It would be annoying to see this dingbat doing things that honest to god talents struggle to do for years and sometimes never accomplish except for the fact that with this girl, any actual action word used in regards to her belongs in parentheses and thus illuminates what a joke it really is. OH, except for the word spending. That is one word that definitely works for her.

I've noticed that it seems to be somewhat in vogue to actually say "I like Paris Hilton". She has this little girl routine she pulls out to seem naive and likeable, that much is obvious, and I'm sure Daddy reinforced the usefulness of said routine. I don't personally have anything against her, but I don't respect anything she does and I'm not so shallow as to pretend I admire her and hope some of her pseudo "fabulousness" rubs off on me as a result. She'd have money anyway, so why does she bother pretending to be good at anything other than spending that money? I find her and her pal Nicole and their stupid little show phony and crass. I like crass mind you, but not the phony put on kind that these girls have. There is just no sincerity there, and as a result it's not funny, it's just painfully rude and there is a big difference. They should know better; trying too hard is always a bad thing.

"I think we're living in a moment when having a career, especially a really glamorous one, is very sexy." - Paris Hilton

Yes, I wish I picked my jobs because they were sexy. What a life.

"Do you work?" "Why yes, right now I do, because as you know, having a career is very sexy" "Oh, of course darling, I know what you mean. Why just last week I took a job as an actress." "Oh my, How very sexy" "Yes, very, very sexy" *wink*......

Maybe next week it will be sexy to help the less fortunate although I'm voting for shutting the fuck up and going away for awhile as sexiest of all.
