she is cute

Hideous is closer than cute

Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

She's kind of inbred looking.

"screwed" is amazing.

Pete, you know I love you, but...

DUD

Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

What is "Screwed"? I am not going to google Paris Hilton screwed for obvious reasons.

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

She's rich. I wouldn't mind a sweat deal like that bloke whot married Britney for a weekend!

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

I don't find her at all attractive, and am baffled as to why she is presented on the cover of so many magazines as the epitome of hotness, if yer a man, or someone whose look you should aspire to, if yr a woman.

DUD.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

She doesn't inspire the revulsion in me that it seems to in others. I think she's funny as a cultural meme. In real life I might find her a bit weirder.

Dead-eyed, coked-out, and pathologically stupid.

DUD.


OK, Screwed is kinda catchy...

I have no problem with her whatsoever.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

She has no ass. Like NONE AT ALL. This frightens me.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

she's one of these people that i believe, with absolutely no evidence, are secretly brilliant.

You're an optimist on my level!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

Nicole Ritchie > Paris Hilton.

The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

From certain angles she looks like a little boy. So on the sex symbol tip - dud.
As a celebrity, neither classic nor dud. Just kind of there.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

She gives good head from the visual evidence.

C-Man (C-Man), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

Her one eye is kind of frightening. You know, the one that's kind of Thom Yorke-ish. She is kind of Thom Yorke-ish, come to think of it.

Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

as the guess model? classic
as a human being worthy of admiration/ respect? dud

Holly (an appletross), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

She is kind of Thom Yorke-ish, come to think of it.

All human beings are worthy of respect, including Paris Hilton.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

I want to say classic so badly because I love the idea of big, permanent celebrities who aren't famous for anything at all besides being loaded and "fabulous" and wearing shocking clothes and going to outrageous parties but she does it all with so little flair or fun.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, OTM. If she used her looks and money to do something that only that combo can do that was fun and original, I might find her excusable. Instead she seems desperate.

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

i feel like we would get along really well.

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

plus, dead-eyed desperation is OBVIOUSLY sexy.


um. ok. maybe i should personally address those feelings.

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I thought she was dud until I started watching her on TV. She's got this calm, cool, collected way about her, this unflappable way. (I attribute it to drugs.) There's definitely something intriguing about her. The way she says, "That's hot" is hot.

Maria D. (Maria D.), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

way way way

Maria D. (Maria D.), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

shes got a way

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

She's ridiculous, I agree with the inbred comment above, and she looks like all of the girls with whom I went to high school. I hated them, thus:

dud.

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

vapid stickchick wot got no ass, yet clings to fame thru looks, funds

Kingfish MuffMiner 2049er (Kingfish), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

I think she's fine, a little misguided obviously. Also, saying a woman has "no ass" is such a weird criticism. I don't think it's any better than putting someone down simply for being fat.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

merely stating my reasons why i don't think someone who is described by many as attractive, is attractive

Kingfish MuffMiner 2049er (Kingfish), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

It's a perfectly valid criticism when someone is put forward as a sex symbol.

xpst

Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Her beauty, a such, is not as a t&a kind of gal but as a lithe nymph. She has a lovely little body, it's just her personality that I find contraceptive.

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

xpost:
Do you also criticize "sex symbols" for being too fat? It's so strange how the "no ass" thing has somehow become a more legitimate and acceptable thing to say (even though it's basically the same thing), whereas if someone just says "I don't like that starlet because she's too fat" seems cruder and less sensitive.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:24 (twenty years ago)

Jordan, do you have a certain 'type' or are you an equal-opportunity whore like me who has about 30 'types'?

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

My distrust of assless people is not in any way a sexual thing. I distrust the assless because THEY KILLED MY PARENTS.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

Veiny-titted DUD.

Dan M. (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

Spencer, I would like for you to name ONE woman who is heavy who has been marketed as a sex symbol. Not someone who was heavy and then slimmed down or someone who was thin and then got heavy, but someone who is just heavy that the media has given the PHWOAR treatment.

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't say I have a specific type per say, but I don't tend to be attracted to the very skinny.

Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

Nickalish, did you ever know that you're my hero?

Paris Hilton: I used to hate her passionately, but then I realized how silly it was to hate someone I'd never met. Plus, I read this surprisingly interesting profile of her back in the day, and she came off pretty mellow. I believe the author actually used the word "asexual" to characterize her behavior. She is also apparently a big pothead, which is a point in her favor.

But she fucked Shannen Doherty's sloppy seconds, so: DUD.

sugarpants (sugarpants), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

it looked like a nice cock though.

anyhow, i like paris hilton. she funny!

phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

ok, i'll put it another way. i'm not a fan of sex symbols(wannabe or not) who're wwaaaaaaayy too skinny. massively unhealthy body shapes being trumpeted & what not.

http://images.southparkstudios.com/media/images/812/812_image_17.jpg

Kingfish MuffMiner 2049er (Kingfish), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

I'd trumpet it

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

Anyway maybe I should watch her show. I don't think I've ever actually heard what her voice sounds like.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

Why do we assume that her body shape is not her normal body shape? My ex-wife was thin as a rail not from dieting but because that's the body she had.

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

Hey so while watching her host SNL the other night I concluded that she's actually way sharper than anyone has ever given her credit for. In fact, I began to suspect that the whole Paris Hilton phenomenon is an incredibly clever practical joke that she is playing on us. I fear her now. The weird thing is that getting this hint that she's sharp has actually diminished my appreciation of her, because I was kind of down with the sheer glammy vapidity of her public image. I mean, now it's like she's the "author" of the ridiculous shit she does on Fox -- she isn't actually the thing itself. Which is still cool, but I liked it a little better as the authentic article.

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

I am fairly certain that her current body shape is enhanced by a genetic predisposition to being thin but that doesn't change the fact that I'd rather see someone with bigger hips and bigger breasts in that outfit (like Jack Black) (ew ew ew) (I hate sex now).

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

I still adore the one Simple Life where they're supposed to clean hotel rooms but instead they put on the guests' clothes and order room service and call the front desk to send a maid to clean the room, and then when their "manager" comes around to check up she congratulates them on what a terrific cleaning job they've done. There's something kind of Candide-like about that show, the way they're basically just going around stealing people's shit and then apologizing and waltzing off. I have to admire it! Fox or no Fox, I'd never be able to walk into a Burger King and order like $30 of shit and start eating it all at the counter and then go "Thirty dollars? Oh, I don't actually have any money. Sorry."

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

I also have to say that I REALLY enjoy the idea of Paris Hilton actually being like Jennifer Connelly in real life but using her smarts for gonzo image manipulation as opposed to vaguely brooding Hollywood startletdom.

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

nabisco, ive been TRYING to give her credit for being that sharp all thread!

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

Dan, I think there are plenty of women with fuller figures than Paris Hilton that are constantly trumpeted (Tracer has now redefined that term for me forever) and praised for being "real" women etc. I mean, how many times can "curves" be "in again"? I'm happy for a woman of any size to be and feel sexy, but to achieve it by putting others down for having "no ass" is kind of hypocritical. I'm all for people redefining what beauty means (and the tyranny of the expectation that people be rail-thin), but we're not going to achieve that by simply deploying the same tired critiques from the opposite direction.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

Coulda been a classic, perhaps.

Beggars can't be choosers but skeletal, stupid and blonde is not really my type

Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

i hate her, i hate her for being at once both vapid and completely manipulative, i hate that pose she does for every picture. and i hate that i can't stop watching, that every detail of her depravity and hell, her fabulous life makes me at once more interested and more disgusted. i can appreciate - through this hatred - that there is something there, a spark of some sort of genius... but i do tend to think that she's using it purely for evil over good, for manipulation when in fact there's nothing but sharpness. and while that's really a compelling and fascinating thing to observe - she's been remarkably resistant to fading even in a state of oversaturation - it's also somewhat dud.
my heart divides over this, and of course over: being famous for being famous: c/d?

e--- s-------- and don't i know it, Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

i hope she lives to be 100 and always looks exactly the same. THe world needs a new Zsa Zsa.

kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:49 (twenty years ago)

Paris isn't really "skeletal," just more lanky / gangly / willowy. At least from what I can tell. Possibly it's just that she keeps such a high-tech skin-glow going on that she can't help but look pseudo-healthyish. She looks like someone's overly-rosy cartoon conception of an already-cartoony ancient-Greek idea of a woodland nymph-thing. Which is, you know, whatever. One of the funny results is that she can wear tragically little clothes and yet not have anything remotely sexy going on with it, because all you really see is airbrushed-looking skin and long limbs. There's nothing "dirty" to see.

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

x-post: Erin is fretting way too much about making high-level ethical judgments about some blonde chick who goes to parties and says funny stuff!

xpost ahem

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

just looking for a way to come to terms with why i seek out paris-related media. it's sort of revolting to watch her garner attention, but damn, i'm right there with vh1 and e! eagerly watching, helping keep her famous. it's so easy, and fun!

i guess when i saw the query, i *totally* had to read it, as it was about paris hilton, which should = classic. maybe the phenomenon of paris hilton = classic, for its full entertainment value, but i'll still, er, fret, about saying that she herself is classic, or about saying that this impulse in me (or us?) is classic, when i somewhat suspect that we're all doomed.

plus, nabisco, writing all this about paris hilton is totally fun.

erin schanning and don't i know it, Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha Teeny, email me!

(Tracer, it's n!tsuh @ gmail! Will mail you too.)

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:06 (twenty years ago)

erin, you remind me of someone.

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:08 (twenty years ago)

I mean, skinny girls are often very neat-looking. And Paris's particular skinniness is the kind of genuinely-lanky mildly-toned un-frail skinniness that's usually pleasant. It leaves her head looking a little huge, sometimes, but there doesn't seem to be anything skeletal or unnatural or sickly about it at all. She just looks like in another life she'd have had a bad complection and run cross-country at a small-town midwestern high school.

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Ass is nice too, obviously, but getting dogmatic about one or the other strikes me as counterproductive.

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

hey nabisco, when you mentioned my glasses on that other thread, did you realize youd met me before? or was it actual esp?

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

It was cause I'm actually omniscient. Also I was stalking you for a while before I realized you weren't actually Reese Witherspoon.

nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

i see. well, you once recommended mixed up in the hague to me, when i was going out with one of your coworkers.

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

um, mixed up in the hague to me.

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Being omniscient, I already knew that. Also: around 5:45 pm today, just wait for the next train. And yes, that one girl with the headband can see what you're doing with your other hand.

I like how Nicole is totally the indie "Simple Life" pick.

Yeah it's a regular Scarlett Johannson/Thora Birch issue.

Allyzay, Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

in that case, i am probably totally un-indie. (thora = indie, right?)

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

dudes, everyone (indie and non-indie) would do it with scarlett johannson.

undead in the hague, Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

I completely adore Nicole Richie, though. That girl is a pure fuzz ball off shitty attitude and fantatic threads. I'd like to have sat behind her in class.

Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't do it with Scarlett Johannson.

I would do it with Paris Hilton.

Allyzay, Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

I'd do it with both. I'd try them together but I'm not sure my heart would take it.

Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

I think her manipulative, "I can get away with anything, don't you know who I AM?" smirky attitude is offensive and tiresome. Nothing to do with her looks, she has the kind of very American Inherited Wealth attitude that her gets her derision and brickbats. We dont hold truck with that shite.

She was a lot prettier before all the weird plastic surgery on her face.

If so, 'giggle' must mean something else in the states?

Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

Allyzay Dallas Multi-Pass (allyzay), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:31 (twenty years ago)

One more for the "I think she (or at least her image) is a scream" tally. The idea that someone can be famous just for being famous is somehow simultaneously repugnant and heartwarming. At any rate, I think she's a very appropriate icon for our era.

Not sure I know enough to really form a concrete opinion, but two thoughts:

1. Didn't she, like, publicize her reality show with a home porn vid released to the internet? If so, dud.

2. She's supposedly fabulously wealthy, yet dressses & acts like a total hillbilly. Again, dud . Oh for the days when the upper classes set a tasteful example for the peasants to aspire to.

3. She seems nice enough, is kinda cute & kinda funny. Not dud.

I am a fan.

If only because I've seen the kind of creepy douchebags on ILX who run her down and call her an "insect" or whatever. Woman-hating creeps. She is attractive. She is getting paid. Good for her. I do think it is funny that she was dating Urlacher for a while. What a meeting of the minds. Oh to be a fly on the wall and listen to some of those conversations....

Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

Dan, I think there are plenty of women with fuller figures than Paris Hilton that are constantly trumpeted (Tracer has now redefined that term for me forever) and praised for being "real" women etc. I mean, how many times can "curves" be "in again"?

the whole "curves are in" thing isn't really valid. it's a slogan thrown around when someone is slender yet not flat-chested (gisele, elizabeth hurley, etc).

anyway, i agree with lara. nicole ritchie seems totally batshit on another planet nuts, in a way that's more joyful than ms. hilton.

I don't adore Paris but I don't mind her. I saw her in the street one day last year signing autographs for some young girls. She was very gracious towards them.

Also when she was on the Gold Coast (in Australia) last year making a movie a little girl wrote and invited her to come to her Paris Hilton-themed birthday party and Paris showed up for it. I thought that was very sweet of her-all the little girls were over the moon.

I became sympathetic towards her after I became tired of listening to sexist asshole pornoisseurs critiquing her performance.

Dud, in the vid she's like a sack of spuds, absolutely lifeless. Obviously if she wanted to give me some of her money, she’d be 100% classic. Is that wrong?

lucifer, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

I'm tempted to say classic, but I also thought that the South Park episode in which she won the "Stupid Spoiled Whore" contest was pretty damn start-to-end funny.

Dadrockismus (Dada), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Paris isn't really "skeletal," just more lanky / gangly / willowy. At least from what I can tell.

You obv haven't checked LimeLight.org for a while. She's much too skinny, look how her shoulder bones (?) stick out. There was an article/interview/whatever which focused on her obsessive way of dieting and overfeeding her pets. Whatever, I think she's just plain boring, empty and extremely unattractive. It's close to necrophilia if you fuck Paris: there's nothing *there*. On top of that, who hasn't been up/under/behind Paris? That said, the amateur sex video was *hawt* as hell, I loved watching her doe-eyed expression, the sex was average. Rick however was fucking the camera, not her. Her whole schtick - I have money - is also pretty silly. I was astounded to see how many teenage girls look up to her: a vapid Barbie styled skeleton with a sidekick in one hand and a complete turd (Rick S? that MTVJock/Porn guy? EW!) in another hand. Did you guys/girls see that picture of her walking on the street with her boob sticking out. Nicky Hilton isn't much better. B-list celebs at best.

the whole "curves are in" thing isn't really valid. it's a slogan thrown around when someone is slender yet not flat-chested (gisele, elizabeth hurley, etc).

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure how that contradicts my main point. I think people are slightly more cautious about saying a woman has no boobs (vs. "no ass"), but it's still a fuller figure means more "real" equation.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

I just want some MOTHAFUCKIN FAT FUCKIN TITTIES O_O

that's hot, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

People are more cautious about saying "no boobs" because there hasn't been a widely-publicized, well-documented rash of fatalities/horrifying health complications linked to butt implants.

Also, people do still criticize women for not having boobs!

Finally, your main point is invalid because when they pick "full-figured" sex symbols, they pick people like J.Lo and Beyonce, neither of which could possibly be bigger than an 8. (Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore are other good examples of this phenomenon of "sexy women in Hollywood who are full-figured are at least four sizes smaller than the national average".)

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Look everyone, my main point is that it's not ok to redress the tyranny of thin by putting people down for having "no ass"! It's not that complicated. I wrote "FULLER" in both posts, ok?

Yeah, I love how when Britney Spears was getting raked over in the press for letting herself go by being chubby and full-figured, my ex (who is pretty skinny herself) had backstage passes and took her little sister to the show. After the show my ex was standing next to Britney pretty close up and said she was absolutely tiny.

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

I don't think most of the media were picking on Britney for gaining weight per se but because she just let herself go in general. Walking around gas station bathrooms barefoot and marrying unemployed LFO dancers, and whatnot.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

I would never be one to confuse ILM with the press, but the tabloids were certainly making an issue of her "weight-problem".

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

The tabloids are a bit different. They walk this weird line where every female celebrity is judged to be grossly overweight or a sickly anorexic -- there is no medium.

Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

I love Paris Hilton! I think she's absolutely gorgeous, and I am fascinated by the whole famous-for-being-famous thing. I also think she's secretly very intelligent in her own way. I would like to chat with her, though not regularly. I would definitely like to see more young women treat her as a role model.

Slagging women off for being too skinny when they're clearly fine is as ridiculous as slagging women off for being too fat when they're nothing of the sort. And I find it disturbing that anyone could actually loathe her, wtf? And that she's labelled as this super-dirrty slut (which by the people doing the labelling tends to be a negative) because of the sex video.

in other words, Spencer otm.

In response to I believe the second sex tape:

Today in the "news" it was said that in the video two black guys approach her and ask her to model their clothes , she was nice to them and said no thanks ,,when they left she turned around and said to her friend "stupid niggers" she was not going to model for them lol

Completely unsubstantiated but with an alleged source (a 12-hour long sex and drug bonanza). My big issue is that I can very easily see her saying this and I don't really like her anyway. (Please let's not use the stupid "but she's friends with Nicole Ritchie" argument because I can tell you from personal experience that it is not only possible but probable for black people to discover their white friends are racists who don't see why that should impinge upon the friendship with said black person who isn't like those niggers.)

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm half on-board with this 'secret genius' meme. I only saw the first season of the simple life, but c'mon. She's not audacious, just entitled. She's entertaining in the way that all famous spazzed-out wrecks are, but she's not half the screwball that Nicole Richie is. She has a face like a jarful of smashed asses. Yet it all never stops being zlol.

Whether or not her saying it is plausible, I'd say that people making up this story is equally plausible given that she is the object of so much irrational hatred.

Okay, wait, I found the story friend Stripey told me a couple of years ago about Hilton. And it's a doozy:

http://www.anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=6487

In August 2002, Paris Hilton crashed Siouxsie Sioux's private after-party in Los Angeles. "Paris sauntered straight over to Siouxsie's table, plopped herself down and proceeded to make a call on her cellphone. Siouxsie's guests held their tongues but the guest of honor wasn't about to be dissed by a 20-year-old socialite, so she told Paris, 'You are being rude and ruining my party. Take that incessant vapid conversation away from here.'"

Beautiful. :-)

A sorry tale of
Hilton's latest tape

'DUMB' AND DUMBER? A newly surfaced Paris Hilton video reportedly includes an ugly racial remark.

Paris Hilton has two faces - and one of them is very, very ugly.

In a recently surfaced 12-hour videotape, Hilton is shown in a rather disturbing scene with two African-American men who ask her if she would model their fashion line.


Hilton, standing with pal Brandon Davis, is polite to the men, but calls them "dumb n--s" after they leave, according to British reporter Carole Aye Maung, who reviewed the tape.


"Two ... guys begin talking to her," Maung told us. "She's being very, very sweet to them. [But] she definitely uses the N-word. It's so cruel, because they were so lovely, and she was being so lovely to them."


Hilton's reps refused to comment when asked about this specific incident on the tape, first uncovered by Star magazine.


According to Maung, the marathon recording includes footage of Hilton "making love" with Nick Carter in the back of a car, greeting one-time boyfriend Jason Shaw in the nude and rolling a "cigarette."


She jokes: "It'll be Paris Hilton Two: How to roll a joint."


It's doubtful she's laughing today.

tremendoid (tremendoid), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I haven't found much else to substantiate it, as the comment and the tape dropped off the rumor mill so quickly. I read about Hilton's responding to the allegation at the time too but can't find it now(she said something along the lines of "I'm not racist, everyone knows that", but didn't confirm or deny she said it)

tremendoid (tremendoid), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

Former friend brands Paris Hilton a 'racist'
October 15, 2004, 10:02:16

Paris Hilton has been branded a racist by her former friend. Brandon Davis, who fell out with Paris earlier this year, claims the hotel heiress regularly refers to black people as "ni****s" and is forever using racial slurs against other ethnic minorities.

Davis, who dates 'The O.C.' star Mischa Barton, is quoted by America's National Enquirer magazine as saying: "She was forever using the 'N-word.'

I told her not to use it. It was offensive. But she just laughed. She is a racist, plus an idiot. Every black person she referred to was a 'ni****'. " Davis said he ended his friendship with the reality TV star because of her attitude.

He added: "She uses the word all the time, and I've known her all of her life. It's 'ni**** this' and 'ni**** that.' She's a disgrace. She is a racist!

"She puts down Jews and other minorities, too. And I'm Jewish. I found it depressing. I finally had enough of her attitude six months ago, and I finished with her.

I don't want anything to do with her. I don't need anything from her. She is no longer my friend. She's just not a nice person."

It was recently reported that Paris used racial slurs in a new 12-hour videotape, in which she stars, by allegedly calling two black men "dumb ni****s".

However, although she has not denied using the word, she did issue a statement saying: "Anyone who knows me knows that this is not me.

I love everybody and am not a person who discriminates against anyone - ever."

I could be wrong but it sounds like Siouxsie's reaction was regarding her asshattery instead of 'do you know who I am?' nonsense. Unless you like strangers sitting down at your table and blabbing in their cell phones. ;-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

That's precisely what I thought too, Ned. Is/was Siouxie a tart?

Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

The last mentioning I remember of her was when she crashed a party that was honoring Siouxsie Sioux and Deborah Harry. Apparently she walked in wearing a pink mini skirt and matching top with a rhine studded cell phone in hand, and tripped over a table next to Siouxsie Sioux mid-sentence on her cell-phone. The always well-spoken Sioux, not one to splice her words, told her, and I quote: "Take that vapid incessant conversation elsewhere, you're crashing our party and ruining my night." And with that, the dumb rich bitch walked out saying, "these old people are really mean."

t/s: tripped on a nearby table vs. sat down at Siouxie's table

Although it makes a better story in your version. The point is that we hate Paris and cannot stop telling everyone.

I went to a Paris Hilton party last night. It was for the launch of her new perfume. I went because I'm friends with a guy in one of the bands they hired to play at the party. I brought a bunch of friends. I didn't see Paris Hilton or many other celebrities, though my friends did (off the top of my head - Paris and Nicky, Vivica A Fox, Rocky Dispirito, Elijah Wood) but the only person I saw was James Iha (which is kinda cool since I was obsessed with the Smashing Pumpkins as a teenager). There was an open bar with high end liquor so ended up drinking way too many martinis. I'm still kinda tipsy.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

I know that Iha is all over the place, but I've never seen him in person. For some reason, I very seldom see non-music celebrities, even though I spend a lot of time in NYC and sometimes go to places where celebrities are likely to be. I think that maybe sometimes I do see them, but I don't recognize them because they aren't involved in stuff I'm really into. A few years ago, I was at a party and I was talking to this guy, and he introduced me to his girlfriend, and I was chatting with the both of them for about ten minutes. A couple months later, I run into the two of them at a show and chat again, and afterwards, my friend was all "wow, how do you know Parker Posey???" I had no idea! I thought that she was just another skinny pretty NYC girl.

That open bar was really well stocked. My friends were getting a lot of great stuff, I was sticking to apple martinis. I almost got some Alizay, but I opted to stick to the one drink.

Stencil I think you mean Hal Hartley regular Michael Imperioli.

For the record endless racism against everyone but Lionel Richie seems to fit pretty neatly with Paris's whole schtick and position in life, which of course ruins all enjoyment of everything. If she were a fictional character, it would be the crowning touch of greatness, but of course she exists (?) and so I suppose I'll have to revise my opinion dudward.

I also can't believe Stevie just told me I obviously haven't checked LimeLight.org for a while: what the hell, am I supposed to? Is it like the New York Times of whether people are too skinny or not? I've never looked, but if it's some website where I can keep track of celebrities' weight, I think I'll have to avoid it.

Dear lord god.

I love Secret but I'm amused at how they transferred an imaginative but ultimately scientific book -- there's no magical powers or any of that, and the big battle between good and 'bad' rats happens in flashback, etc. -- into, indeed, a more fantasy-style adventure. But it still works, in its own way, and while Bluth wasn't a genius per se he at least created one big splashy Disney-derived epic that wasn't a musical as such, with many striking moments (John Carradine's owl was pretty badass).

No one cares. No one will be outraged.

The Brainwasher (Twilight), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:41 (eighteen years ago)

I dunno, Kyle. Paris Hilton has basically made a successful career out of all the things we associate with celebrities whose careers are melting down: sex tapes, being famous despite having no real product, reality TV, excessive partying, being vapid and gross, and assembling pop records despite having no musical background. She's like Behind the Music in reverse.

So I guess logic suggests that what would be a career-killing embarrassment for most people could even maybe be a boost for her, considering that her value runs from tabloid to product instead of the other way around, like most people.

(But of course, realistically, people can enjoy a trainwreck of vapidity and glitz, but racism drags it back too far into real-world ground for many people to be honestly amused, so yeah, maybe.)

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:48 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, though, I hope to see some kind of Behind the Music 20 years from now, where it's all like "but then Paris drifted into a downward spiral of hard work and attention to her craft ... her fanbase drifted off ... but now, at 40 years old, Paris is staging a comeback, going back to the roots of her art -- skeezy socializing and piles of coke."

Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 2 February 2007 00:13 (eighteen years ago)

God yes, the "all" there is totally disingenuous and self-deceiving!

I mean, I'll grant that members of the middle + upper-class white-Christian mainstream who get to avoid those deep ethnic/religious slurs still may have some smaller quality people will use to degrade them from the ideal -- homosexuality, baldness, fatness, often femaleness! -- but talking about racism is really ridiculous if you're gonna pretend it's all intergroup squabbling and that there isn't a privileged mainstream.

Haha apart from being a woman, Paris is sitting pretty in that "idealized" pocket. She'd get the sign that says "rich bitch," where the misogyny of "bitch" codes for something, but the "rich" ... ha, as if genuinely mega-wealthy people give a shit about that one. (Haha "you're rich" as an insult really only works with rock kids and socialists.) (And not so much socialists.)

nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 2 February 2007 00:15 (eighteen years ago)

The "all" isn't some unity of oppression thing on that cover, the idea is "They're all British" (you turn the page and they're all holding up signs saying "British") - the actual editorial however has a good old go at multiculturalism and "unlimited immigration".

Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 2 February 2007 12:17 (eighteen years ago)

Paris Hilton is the perfect litmus test of one's ability to be a cultural commentator in 2006. Essentially, if you are one of the (sadly) many with a kneejerk prejudice against our heroine and her nascent-but-magnificent singing career, you may as well give up now; start buying Word and James Blunt albums, for there's no hope for you any more if you don’t get exactly why she’s so important.

Paris's brilliance is such that it dazzles any cultural theory with which you try to explain her appeal.

She's obsessed with the twin archetypes of American high school cliquery and the blonde fairytale princess, and has had an album crafted in those images for herself: it's the plastic bubblegum pop album of the year. At a time when a perception of authenticity is necessary for both critical and commercial success, it's refreshing to find a singer who couldn't care less about credibility. Paris Hilton is not seeking your approval here, losers! She has the best money can buy, and in the world of pop production this means the best. She's got Scott Storch making her sound like Britney Spears fronting the Pussycat Dolls; she's got Kara DioGuardi, fresh from penning both sides of the Ashlee Simpson/Lindsay Lohan bust-up, to document exactly how sad she is that Nicole Richie a) is mean and b) will never be as great as Paris; she’s got choruses which burst into life like stars exploding into fireworks.

You know what, though? The best thing about Paris is Paris herself. Her voice, a light, breathy thing which is exquisitely suited to the material. Her pretty mouth framing first-love clichés with a shocking emotional clarity, investing them with vulnerability and boundless hope. Her inability to put a foot wrong.

paris hilton is kind of a bitch though what up

TOMBO7 (TOMBOT), Friday, 2 February 2007 18:14 (eighteen years ago)

three months pass...
Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton is backing an online petition seeking a pardon of her 45-day prison sentence because she enlivens "mundane" lives.

The petition to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also claims she was being used as a scapegoat to highlight the dangers of drink-driving.

Hilton was sentenced after being found guilty of violating her probation for a drink-driving conviction.

She must start her jail term by 5 June or risk a doubling of her sentence.

'Role model'

In a message on a MySpace website, Ms Hilton apparently endorsed the online appeal, saying: "My friend Joshua started his petition, please help and sihn it (sic). I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!"



The petition paints Ms Hilton as a role model who "provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives".

It also draws parallels between other high-profile US figures who were forgiven for their misdeeds.

"If the late former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake," it says.

Mr Schwarzenegger's press secretary, Aaron McLear, said the governor would not become involved in any case "until the individual has exhausted their judicial remedies".

Ms Hilton's representative, Elliot Mintz, could not verify whether the MySpace message attributed to his celebrity client was genuine, but he did say the petition "appeared to be authentic".

Separately, her lawyers have said they will appeal against the sentence.

696, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:58 (eighteen years ago)

im thinking about going the free paris party as well. ive always thought the people held illegally at guantanamo bay was just too daunting for me to think about, but when it comes to paris hilton, i think, together, we can make a small difference.

if we send pictures and videos of the free paris party to the relatives of those incarcerated in guantanamo bay, it could also act as a beacon of hope, to show that the light at the end of the tunnel may be coming for them soon too

following in the footsteps of lil' kim and courtney love* - well done paris!

in a way i'm mildly disappointed that she's acknowledging this at all - she should hold her head up, stoically do her time, recognise that in doing so she's vaulted over 90% of rappers in the gangsta stakes, sail out after a month and carry on blissfully as before, still hott to death and still a bitch, still pissing off the haterz

but it really shows the creeping disregard for civil liberties in bushs america today, increased surveillance, big brother, federal govt meddling in what are essentialy personal and private matters. yes it might be paris and a bunch of muslims today, but what of tomorrow?

of that i have no doubt, but, come on, you must see this is about more than just one individual, but about the fact that top quality lawyers were unable to prevent this, and if they cant for this, then what does it say about the legal system? and you can bet that if paris was some welfare scrounger, she'd have got off because she was having 'difficulties' and 'needed a break', yea, whatever! its just an excuse to make an example out of young high achievers, and sends a message out to young people today that they shouldnt bother to achieve at all, and then we wonder why our jobs are being taken by people from 3rd world countries who actually want to work

Dude, I have no problem with people having money (and spending it) but she's just an annoying stupid vapid arrogant bitch. She thinks she's above everyone else (because she weighs less, she's prettier, she's richer,...). I don't really hate her, that would require some emotion that I don't want to spend on her. But to say she doesn't deserve to go to prison? Come on, her license was revoked! She tried to shove the blame on Munitz, that didn't work,... It's only 45 days! Some people are condemned to a life of poverty. This is like 45 days! It's nothing!

And what exactly did she achieve? Notoriety because of some sex tapes. Yeah, very admirable.

why do people think paris is trashy? i don't know really know how i feel about the phenomenon of her, but i'm curious as to why she inspires such anger in people. it's not only dislike it's like being offended because of her or something. i find it kindof odd.

Surmounter, Thursday, 10 May 2007 00:23 (eighteen years ago)

Haha here's the do-it-yourself "ILX shocker" kit. You will need:

- idea of societies having elaborate cultural systems about what's considered ideal, upstanding, "classy" behavior and what's considered "trashy," "low-class," "dirty," or "slutty"

- the preposition "in"

- the word "SHOCKER"

1. Insert preposition into idea
2. Add SHOCKER at end
3. Post/serve

nabisco, Thursday, 10 May 2007 00:28 (eighteen years ago)

Ok but serious explanation: Paris has loads of money and could presumably do just about anything she felt like doing, including living up to received wisdom about "glamorous" wealthy people, and yet she'd appear to spend most of her time partying, doing drugs, taking pictures of her tits, running into problems with the law, etc. -- passtimes usually associated with ordinary poorer people without much opportunity in their lives, and passtimes the average lower-middle-income American tends to be wary of as "trashy" and antithetical to his/her aspirations toward wealth and glamour. Paris throws herself kinda whole-heartedly into the kind of skeezy fun the average American enjoys but tries to shy away from as a total sinkhole to self-betterment, etc.

So some can look at her as some kind of hero of the people, but c'mon right, like we're happy with that kind of class dynamic: more often she allows people a chance to opine that "money can't buy class," and that even though they're not wealthy or "glamorous" like she is, they're better than her, because she's vapid or dirty or skanky, whereas they aspire to learning and self-respect and self-betterment and whatnot.

It's not really a complicated dynamic, I don't think. People who don't have lots of money care about their behavior reflecting upright social standing and "class" -- both for social reasons and because if they tried to live like Paris, they'd actually fuck up their lives. Paris, being incredibly wealthy, doesn't have to care about those things. (I don't know if her family didn't bother raising her with any "you are a HILTON, you must have standards" pressure, or if they applied too much of it and it just backfired like nuts.)

nabisco, Thursday, 10 May 2007 00:38 (eighteen years ago)

ok good point ; )

at the same time tho, if i had a lot of money like that, i'd certainly enjoy my share of frivolty. granted she seems about as deep as a rain puddle, and given her wealth i'd do a lot more, but still it seems REALLY angry, the reaction to her as a cultural artifact.

thanks for that delineation tho very appreciated

i really like the name nicole for some reason, it like just hit me

Surmounter, Thursday, 10 May 2007 01:24 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think it's just class, though. i think that american society still has a strong meritocratic streak, even if the idea of meritocracy is just a myth. and paris acts as a reflection of what people who are "famous" or even just well-off get that isn't attainable to the everyday person -- the six-figure fees for showing up at clubs, the complimentary crystal-encrusted sidekicks, the record deals that are the result of a whim, even if the album that is eventually released kinda tanks (i don't think it's much of a stretch to say that the budget for creating/promoting paris helped accelerate the process of 400 people at warner music group being laid off this week).

and related to that, in david shields' re:mote he uses the phrase 'the nimbus of her fame made a nullity of us all' a lot, and i think the fact that people view paris as a nullity herself (this is different than "behaving properly," i think, because she still commands attention no matter how she behaves) creates a sense of agitation.

maura, Thursday, 10 May 2007 01:46 (eighteen years ago)

Maura way more OTM than Nabisco.

Also it's "pastime".

HI DERE, Thursday, 10 May 2007 02:21 (eighteen years ago)

yes. also tho, where's the line between meritocracy and simply envy? and how fun could/should the pastime of venting your anger at what privileged classes of people have be?

Surmounter, Thursday, 10 May 2007 03:13 (eighteen years ago)

and doesn't it almost validate their existence even more to let them be so agitating?

Surmounter, Thursday, 10 May 2007 03:16 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, definitely, I'd agree with Maura's approach, too -- it's just the particular word "trashy" Surmounter was asking about that puts me in mind of that social-class stuff.

Surmounter, Paris goes WAY beyond just a bit of wealthy frivolity, is the thing: the bottom line is she kinda has everything and does nothing -- not even really lip service toward doing anything useful -- which is a good recipe for the hatred! For a year or so there you could sit back and marvel and find it amusing and amazing how she could pull it off, being so completely oblivious and self-indulgent (cf whole point of The Simple Life), but after a year and a half or so, boy howdy does that slight entertainment get old and icky.

nathalie, Thursday, 10 May 2007 07:32 (eighteen years ago)

this thread is ridiculuos. Foucault has said many wise and insightful things, and i think he'd have really cut to the chase here,...but lets not go overboard him, he most certainly did NOT have a hot body.

^^^ and anyway, its a backhanded compliment in a way. its interesting how the actual usage of this kind of language now, while ostensibly complimentary, actually acts to belittle and diminish a persons standing and status. we've all seen it happen with paris hilton, but to try and pull the same trick on Foucault as well

Only on ilx. i dont know why im even surprised

696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 07:41 (eighteen years ago)

its also telling that from people criticizing and attacking me, earlier on in the thread, it then changes to saying its 'sarcasm' or 'irony', another way of belittling peoples opinions, oh, theyre not real opinions like ours

its the same thing on the thread about jim o'rourke and the indie people covering those pop songs. we dont like it, so we'll say they are being ironic, you dont like what i say, i must be being ironic. perhaps paris hiltons assistant was being ironic when she stitched her up! perhaps you think foucault was being sarcastic when he uncovered the modern panopticon (which we are all complicit in) at work in todays society?

This is kind of OTM, but I'd add that she's super-ubiquitous, like I don't have a TV, rarely read the papers these days, only ever pick up celeb trash mags when I'm in the doctor's waiting room etc, but I know loads about her somehow. Also, there's the "dancing like a n*gg*r/dumb n*gg*r" thing, whihc quite strongly gives the impression of one HORRIBLE, HATEFUL individual.

Pashmina, Thursday, 10 May 2007 08:39 (eighteen years ago)

nabisco and maura are both otm but the anger people express as a matter of course towards paris in particular - it's not as if she's particularly unique in any of her behaviour! - i think is partly motivated by the knowledge that they're actually powerless in the face of it. with britney, jessica simpson et al, the public can stop buying their records, or turn off their tv shows, and they'll fade away. but what people hate about paris is her privilege and wealth (not her attention-seeking! or her lack of 'proper' 'talent'; because that would apply to 90% of hollywood starlets) - and even if no one buys her records, watches her shows, pays attention to her, she will still be privileged and wealthy.

and also, she seems to be happy with what she is and what she has, and unapologetic about any of it. britney and lindsay and tara reid go off the rails, most other 'trashy' starlets pop up with stories about how "troubled" they are on a regular basis, but paris has that blank content smile and nothing more.

i think lex has made a good point. paris is rich, richer than probably 95% of the people on this board. and its those people that seem to have a problem with her. coincidence? i think not

time and time again we see this. and people say that socialists arent bitter! you see it in england too with the royal family, but at least in england the average working man respects the royals and can see beyond petty blind envy, but the socialists are always singing the same tune about taking stuff away from people and shooting them in front of walls, but why should people have their money taken away? why shouldnt they enjoy their money?

696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 09:55 (eighteen years ago)

why should paris spend her money on environmental issues or going on a march or helping welfare swingers squat in other peoples 2nd homes?? when was the last time you planted a tree or helped one of our veterans across the street? a long time i bet, too busy attacking the rich from your moms basement with a too small che gavara (sp) tshirt on, i'll bet

696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 09:58 (eighteen years ago)

it's not as if she's particularly unique in any of her behaviour!

You're right. I distinctly remember Britney Spears having a TV show wherein the entire point was showing how outrageously awful she behaves towards people.

And of course, Britney was born into a popstar dynasty.

Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:02 (eighteen years ago)

and, seriously guys, prisons are full of violent criminals, not to mention misogynists. who does it really benefit for someone like paris hilton to be there? if she was out, she'd be out spending money and keeping people in jobs.

for nonviolent or minor offences like drink driving and incorrect paperwork maybe it would be better for the punishment to be financial rather than incarceration? that way they could also make a positive contriubtion to society rather than being a drain on resources in overcrowded prisons where they might end up getting criminalized

696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:02 (eighteen years ago)

Quite right; Paris and her kind shouldn't be clogging up prisons.

They should be sent to the gas chamber instead.

Driving after having a license revoked for DUI is just stupid no matter what your income level, but I'd like her to be levelled somewhat by going to icky prison where at least one inmate knows she's dropped n-bombs, as she seems to need arsekick in the what goes around, comes around department. This seems like justice, but instead she'll go to a minimum security jail with a pay wing like all the other rich Californians do now, and learn what lesson exactly?

suzy, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:36 (eighteen years ago)

would peoples' opinions towards paris's actions be different if she'd killed someone by drunk driving? would you still think she should hold her head high if that had happened, Lex?

This seems like justice, but instead she'll go to a minimum security jail with a pay wing like all the other rich Californians do now, and learn what lesson exactly?

i could be vastly wrong, but hadn't the judge said she would have to serve at a regular prison, without the option of minimum security? i THINK i heard this somewhere, tho it may have been an entirely unrelated case...

Pashmina, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

i don't get the illegal link thing. that was wikipedia anyway.

stevie, my point is that people's opinions of paris would still be largely angry, hateful ones even if she hadn't been convicted of drunk driving and even if the racist videos had never surfaced. that's useful ammunition - i'm not defending her actions! just like you wouldn't defend the actions of various rock stars/celebrities you approved of overall - but also, total red herrings

lex pretend, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:49 (eighteen years ago)

no, pashmina, what i'm obviously saying is that, as stupid as DUI is, it's not the reason people feel disproportionate anger towards paris hilton, otherwise we'd see similar opprobrium heaped on all the others i listed, several of whom are totally respected on ilx

yeah but if a rock star i 'approved of' was caught drunk driving (and then kept driving, and then blamed this on an underling) i wouldn't be saying they should "hold their head high" because its fucking shameful behaviour, and just because they make great art is no defense for being a crappy human being. it doesn't invalidate the art either, but its not the art you're defending, is it?

G, people who make mistakes admit them, generally, if they want support or forgiveness. It's the old 'blame the publicist' thing that sticks in the craw; stupidity makes no detour around the offspring of the rich. How do you blame a publicist for something you should know as part of basic Civics knowledge?

Even the 'regular' prisons have the pay wing now, to cope with middle-class DUIs. PH is just behaving like any other middle-class person who believes the police are not there to 'deal with' them. What bugs me is that most people who get busted for DUI are unthinking about the consequences and often think the judgement against them was some major aberration or a defect in the sentencing judge's character and not a reflection of their own offence.

2) im not saying that she failed to corrupt the legal system. im saying in most cases someone of her background would have been let off with a slap on the wrist, if they were not famous. its her fame that contributed to this sentence. its PC basically, the desire to punish her for her background rather than the crime itself. and i really hoped we'd seen the last of that in america, people being targeted because of their race or class or status

in a capitalist country, different levels of services are available to different people.

which, when it comes to the law, translates as 'the rich are not/should not be as accountable as the poor'. corrupt, at all?

in most cases someone of her background would have been let off with a slap on the wrist, if they were not famous.

if that's how the system normally works, then the system is corrupt.

it's not punishing her because of her background, but in spite of. there's absolutely no reason why she should be treated any more leniently because of her wealth and privilege.

and as if her life couldn't get any worse..this just in-"Virus Spread by Oral Sex Is Linked to Throat Cancer

By Rob Stein
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, May 10, 2007; A13


The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer also sharply increases the risk of certain types of throat cancer among people infected through oral sex, according to a study being published today.

The study, involving 100 people with throat cancer and 200 without it, found that those infected with the human papillomavirus were 32 times as likely to develop one form of oral cancer than those free of the virus. Although previous research had indicated HPV caused oral cancer, the new study is the first to definitively establish the link, researchers said.

"It makes it absolutely clear that oral HPV infection is a risk factor," said Maura L. Gillison, an assistant professor of oncology and epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, who led the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The findings could help explain why rates of oral cancer have been increasing in recent years, particularly among younger people and those who are not smokers or heavy drinkers, which had long been the primary at-risk groups, experts said.

"There's been a kind of sea change in the last 10 years in who we're seeing with these cancers," Gillison said. "It makes sense with some changes we've seen in sexual behavior."

she was misinformed by her handlers, about the stipulations imposed on racist speech in that particular state (she was wrongly told she was in nevada, which has looser regulations regarding hate speech, when she was actually in california)

to be honest, id have thought she would have got herself some new handlers then, considering its the very same handlers that have got her in this current mess

to be honest matt, i really dont think its fair to compare paris hilton with a racist like michael richards. he KNEW what he was saying, and he KNEW he was in california. the most you can accuse paris of is naivety in believing her handlers (who were probably trying to stitch her up anyway)

What is her art? What is her benefit to society? She degrades us all. You are disingenuous. It is ironic, though, that she is hated for her wealth and loved for her baseness.

And you can make fun of me all you want for saying the truth, but she is just plain trash. Why do you people care about her?

let's hear it from the lady herself!

Jealousy

I thought you were my best friend
I felt we'd be together 'til the end
You're not the girl I once knew
Tell me where she is 'cause she's not you

You used to be that shoulder
That shoulder I could lean on through it all
But now it's getting colder
There's no love between these walls

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone have
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Nobody wins when you're full of envy

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I was always happy
When I was watchin' you become a star
But you were only happy
When the world was openin' up my scars

And now I'm like the devil
Well if I am then what does that make you
You sold yourself for your fame
You'd still never walk a day in my shoes

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone have
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Nobody wins when you're full of envy

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

(Speaking)
I only wanted what was best for you
Everything I did, I did becaused I cared
So how did all the good between us turn so bad?
Maybe someday we'll get back what we had

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone have
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone have
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone have
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Nobody wins when you're full of envy

That one guy that quit, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

Lex's attempts to separate her personal actions from her "work" is kinda funny, since Paris is one of those few people for whom the pomo theorizing is true, for whom her life is her work. If her notable debut was a private sex tape, I'm not sure why we wouldn't see Ms. Racist tape as the equivalent of a recent single -- apart from MAYBE The Simple Life, those sorts of things have a much larger audience than any of her official pop-culture products.

I just don't think that discussion of her contributions to pop culture have any bearing on whether she should do 45 days in the clink. I'm not reading this thread very closely, but it seems that Lex brings up her music as a mitigating factor, and I just don't give a fuck. I think she should do some time, as punishment for driving drunk and punishment for driving when she was told she couldn't. I'm probably erring on the side of schadenfreude as much as he's erring on the side of being starstruck.

Rock Hardy, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

She cleaned off her make-up, spent 23 hours a day alone, was weepy at times and <b>declined to eat an institutionally catered hot dog</b>, gossip website TMZ.com reported.

Shes back in court and may have to go back to jail.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6732915.stm

A Los Angeles judge has ordered Paris Hilton to appear in court on Friday morning to determine whether she should be returned to jail.

The celebrity heiress was allowed to leave jail on Thursday, only three days into a 45-day sentence for violating probation on a drink-driving ban.

She was given an electronic tag and ordered to remain under house arrest for the remainder of her sentence.

Her release on unspecified medical grounds sparked widespread criticism.

Steve Whitmore of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said: "After extensive consultation with medical personnel, it was decided this reassignment should be done."

No details of the medical problem could be given for "privacy reasons", he said, but insisted she had received no special treatment.

When Hilton was originally sentenced to 45 days for violating probation on a drink-driving conviction, she was told there was no prospect of early release.

Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 8 June 2007 01:10 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe there isn't one law for the rich and one for everyone else after all? We'll find out friday.

Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 8 June 2007 01:11 (eighteen years ago)

why would anyone feel surprised, or unhip, or anything else, at being pissed off about Paris Hilton getting assigned to home arrest from jail because jail was hard for her? it's an outrage; there should be rioting in the streets.

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has been taken screaming from a Los Angeles court after being told to return to jail to serve out her sentence.

The celebrity heiress was ordered to attend the hearing rather than listen to the proceeding by telephone.

"It's not right!" she shouted in response, before calling out to her mother in the audience.

She has been held at the Century Regional Detention Centre in Lynwood, California, in a special unit for celebrities, public officials, police officers and other high-profile inmates, and has so far served five days of her sentence.

I can't believe there's arseholes that think she shouldn't have the same treatment everyone else would get for the same crime. She's already getting special treatment by going to a special unit for celebs.
Do people really think celebs should have a different law to everyone else?

haha Jerry Brown brings the smackdown

"California Attorney General Jerry Brown criticized the Sheriff's Department for letting Hilton out of jail, saying he believed she should serve out her sentence.

"It does hold up the system to ridicule when the powerful and the famous get special treatment," Brown told The Associated Press in an interview before testifying at a congressional hearing in Washington.

"I'm sure there's a lot of people who've seen their family members go to jail and have various ailments, physical and psychological, that didn't get them released," he said. "I'd say it's time for a course correction."

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 8 June 2007 19:54 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, my friend did two weeks for her second DUI...

Paris can do her time like ayone else.

Michael White, Friday, 8 June 2007 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

Buddy of mine did time for repeatedly driving after losing his license, then using his brother's license till he lost that too. It ended with a little half-assed car chase with the police. I think he got 4 months.

I'm not ashamed to say I'm full of glee over this story.

I guess she is human after all.

Ally, it's not just that she's going to jail, it's everything leading up to it, including now playing sick to get out of jail (WTF?!) and having a hissy fit at being told that you can't do that. She has handled herself with the least amount of dignity anyone could have been expected to. She seems to think that it matters that all this is hurting her feelings.

Mens be macho.

I don't think Ally's defending her actions at all. Just her reaction. You don't know why she's crying.

She seems to think that it matters that all this is hurting her feelings.

How do you know that? My point was that crying on your way to jail was a natural response and I bet most people would.

i'm glad you guys feel so superior to her! let's talk about whether or not women should have pubic hair some more.

i mean i'm not defending the fact she was drunk driving. i don't know the california state laws but i DO think she's being made an example of here and i can totally understand being completely freaked out by the whole thing.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 8 June 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

I'd have some shred of sympathy for her if she didn't try to play sick so she could stay home from jail.

And yeah I have no sympathy for people rightly convicted of crimes serving time (btw, isn't she actually serving time for driving w/suspended license, not DUI?) I know someone who's wrapping up 20 years, no tears here, he deserved it. (but I bet he's cried.)

Woman is the nigger of the world

Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she wont be a slave, we say that she dont love us
If shes real, we say shes trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that shes above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that shes too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!

We insult her every day on tv
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When shes young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

but i DO think she's being made an example of here and i can totally understand being completely freaked out by the whole thing.

She's only being made an example of if other people don't get the same sentence for that crime.

She already gets preferential treatment by going to a unit for celebs. She only got initially freed because she is a celeb. Would an ordinary person get that treatment?

She committed a serious crime and has to serve her punishment like anyone else would have to. Someone could have been killed in an accident because she was drink driving.

Unless no-one goes to jail for the same crime I don't see how she is being made an example of because she's famous.
If they hadn't gave her preferential treatment in the 1st place by letting her out aftera few days none of this would be an issue.

Gloating about her crying is pathetic however.

that's the point that i'm making??? i don't know a single person who got arrested on a dui that served a sentence even close to that long, even on like a 3rd dui? BUT if she got arrested on that + suspended license as ms misery pointed out, it could be a different story--i wasn't aware of that.

Truthfully I really don't care about Paris. A young black man was shot in the back and killed at a nightclub here over the weekend by a white officer who had already been discplined for police brutality in the past. Obv. America's lack of priorities angers me. But that's a different thread.

in the County, it's just like a party
'cause in the County, you know everybody

J0hn D., Friday, 8 June 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

From the smoking gun:

In January, weeks after pleading no contest to a reckless driving charge, the 26-year-old Hilton was cited for driving with a suspended license. After signing a document acknowledging she was not to drive, Hilton was pulled over by cops in February and charged with a probation violation. As a result, she was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Ms Misery, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:40 (eighteen years ago)

* reckless driving
* suspended licence
* suspended license part II: the wrath of Khan
* enjoy the hotdogs

Mr. Que, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

In September 2006, Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, the minimum at which it is illegal to drive in California. Hilton's drivers license was subsequently suspended in November 2006,[34] and in January 2007 she pled no contest to the alcohol-related reckless driving charge.[35] Her punishment was a 36 month probation sentence and fines of about $1,500.[36]

On February 27, 2007 Hilton was caught driving 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone with a suspended license. She also did not have her headlights on while it was after dark. Prosecutors in the office of the Los Angeles City Attorney charged that those actions, along with the failure to enroll in a court-ordered alcohol education program constituted a violation of the terms of her probation.[34] On May 4, 2007 Hilton was sentenced by Judge Michael T. Sauer to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. She was required to begin her jail term June 5, 2007 or risk a doubling of her sentence.[6]

Initially, Hilton planned to appeal her sentence, and supported an online petition asking California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a pardon.[37] In response, various opponents started a petition to maintain the sentence.[38] Both petitions attracted tens of thousands of signatures. Paris later switched lawyers, and dropped her plans to appeal.[39]

Wikinews has news related to:
Motion filed to return Paris Hilton to jail
Jail sentence
On June 3, 2007, after attending the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, Hilton checked herself into the Men's Central Jail of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles at 11:38 pm PDT. From there, Hilton was transferred by authorities to a special section "reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates"[40] within the Century Regional Detention Facility, an all female jail in Lynwood, California. Hilton was given the inmate booking number 9818783. With credit for good behavior, it was anticipated that Hilton would only serve 23 days of her 45 day sentence.[41] However, upon LA County Sheriff Lee Baca's signed orders, on the morning of June 7, Hilton was reassigned to 40 days home confinement with an electronic monitoring device due to an unspecified medical condition.[42] The same day Paris was released from prison, Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo and Judge Michael Sauer ordered Hilton back to court on the morning of June 8, 2007. She was sent back to jail to serve the remainder of her sentence, 42 days, and was taken out of the courtroom screaming for her mother, who was in the courtroom.

Michael White, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

btw she's being held in a special unit for celebrities/high-profile prisoners/cops-convicted-of-crimes/etc, she has it a lot easier than most county prisoners

I know people in Cali with a DUI + later driving-on-suspended who did 90 days, so Paris can take her "it's not fair" and stuff it up her nose

the great news is that evidently the cop who decided to let her out is a sc**ntol*g*st, so now we have the possibility of a sc**ntol*g*st Paris Hilton: good times!

Do you mean Nicky Hilton? she is also white. Unless you meant Nicole Ritchie. She's just aneorxic. (xpost)

yeah sorry I was thinkin of Ritchie

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:45 (eighteen years ago)

I'm glad she's back in the tank. She should hire a driver on 24/7 standby and make that part of her shtick, along with, like, being a famous asshole or whatever she does. Every year or so the latest driver will quit and write a tell-all about the screaming, the drugs and the thrown sharp objects. Worked for Keith Moon.

Rock Hardy, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

took me a second to find this:

Eddie: Right - I, the proposed accused, think that, well, I mean, you know, well the day in question was not a good day for me, all right? But I put it to you that I don't see how any day could have been good the way this bloody country's run. Well, you know, I was just trying to do my best, trying to get from A to B, do a little shopping. I was trying to take control of my life, you know, only to find that it's actually controlled for me by petty bureaucracy and bits of bloody paper - ignorant bloody petty rules and laws that just obstruct every tiny little action until you've committed a crime without even knowing it! I mean, you know, why can't life just be made a little easier for everybody, eh? Why can't it be more like the Continent, and then run down the street in front of charging bulls whilst letting fireworks off out of his bloody nostrils without anyone blinking an eye? Uh? Because it's probably a local holiday and nobody's at work because they all want to have just a little bit of fun and they're not intimidated by some outdated work ethic. I mean, there has to be more to life than just being safe ...
Judge: Is there a point to all of this?
Eddie: Yes, Yes! Why, oh why, do we pay taxes, hmmm? I mean, just to have bloody parking restrictions- and BUGGERY-UGLY traffic wardens, and BOLLOCKY-pedestrian-BLOODY-crossings?... and those BASTARD railings outside shops windows, so you can't even get in them! I mean, I know they're there to stop stupid people running into the street and killing themselves! But we're not all stupid! We don't all need nurse-maiding. I mean, why not just have a Stupidity Tax? Just tax the stupid people!
Patsy: [Stands up] And let them DIE!
Eddie: Yes!

I believe Nicole is Hispanic and adopted into a black family.

It always boggles me when celebrities get DUIs. If I was rich one of the first things I'd do is hire a driver so I'd never have to think about going out and getting wasted again.

Ms Misery, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

and then your driver would write a vicious tell-all book a year later (as has already been noted)

Mr. Que, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:55 (eighteen years ago)

Let 'em blab! I'd probably have told everything on ILx by then anyway. . .

Ms Misery, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:55 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not against schadenfreude but I'm not relishing her tears, I'm merely saying that she's actually so far got away with a lot more than my friend and several other posters's friends or selves have gotten away with and her sense of entitlement is not only offputting but it ain't gonna get her anywhere, now.

As Anatole France so pithily put it in La lys rouge, "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." However, it also sometimes treats wanton, self-important heiresses as cruelly as it treats the poor and the fact that she has had trouble finding the humility to own up to the crime and the time is, perhaps, sad but no more sad than when my friend went to jail and my friend and had the humility and the dignity to avoid any gestures that could seem like self-pity such as crying on the way in.

Michael White, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

obviously humility is gonna have to be a learned character trait with Paris

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:57 (eighteen years ago)

kenan, Friday, 8 June 2007 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

One thing for sure, she will be so terrified of going to jail again I doubt she will be drinking and driving or driving while suspended again.
It might actually change her for the better.

Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 8 June 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

The other reason not to cry is that it merely inspires contempt in the worse kinds of asshole and as hard as fronting may be for her, being scorned, even in celebrity jail, is not a good way to start.

Michael White, Friday, 8 June 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

this is why i really enjoy having paris around - regardless of the rights/wrongs of the matter, so much of what she does ends up being so ridiculous. this is like britney and rehab, in out in out. and her sole action when at home yesterday was to...get luxury cupcakes delivered?? she should prob do her time even if she's being made an example of, but i don't think she's pathetic for trying to wriggle out of it or for crying. the people who get genuinely angered by her existence (the "AAARGH SHE IS AN ODIOUS HUMAN" types, i imagine the blood vessels in their forehead standing out whenever they think of her, ie like ALL THE TIME) are far more pathetic really.

she should get a driver though, yes.

if she'd been allowed to stay under house arrest, i hope she would have thrown a 23-day HOUSE PARTY.

lex pretend, Friday, 8 June 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

michael all your reasons for not crying are good and true and the reason i, personally, don't cry, but i don't think it's a moral failing on anyone's part if they can't control their tears!

lex pretend, Friday, 8 June 2007 21:03 (eighteen years ago)

lauren, Friday, 8 June 2007 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

County jail was the closest thing I've had to a vacation in years. Srsly. I played cards with gang members and read trashy novels.

And while I wasn't in LA lockup, neither is Paris, so she gets no sympathy from me.

they're not crazed obsessed people - they're normal people who know that if they got a DUI & then drove on a suspended license, they'd be completely fucked, and who think it's lame that 1) often, the rich can buy their way out of this and 2) there are actually non-rich people who think that's cool because oh how fabulous

Seriously.

I think she's fine, a little misguided obviously. Also, saying a woman has "no ass" is such a weird criticism. I don't think it's any better than putting someone down simply for being fat.

I really don't think she's pretty in this emaciated way. Not so much because she's skinny, but because it's been clear (from articles) that this is not her natural body type and that she puts everyone else down for not being up to par with her (skinny) standards. Also, well, I just don't like skeletons.

they're not crazed obsessed people - they're normal people who know that if they got a DUI & then drove on a suspended license, they'd be completely fucked, and who think it's lame that 1) often, the rich can buy their way out of this and 2) there are actually non-rich people who think that's cool because oh how fabulous

In this case it's blatant that she'd like to escape her talent, but what is wrong to use your money to get a good/perfect defense? I mean, should they (the rich) not use the best defense lawyers possible? In this case of course she's a very public figure (and not that likeable to many people) so people expect her to pay up.

Wilful contrarianism is great and all that, but sometimes the popular opinion doesn't revolve around a lack of imagination or awareness, but common sense and decency. With regard to PH, this falls squarely into the latter case.

well, i guess the truth is i don't totally her. u can say that's willfully contrarian, which makes sense, but at the same time, the overwhelming hatred of PH leaves little room for this sort of defense, rendering any defense of her at least somewhat provocative. and paris does not equal cancer, or stalin. she's just a dumb rich girl who likes being rich. in the end, her controversy is her reward.

Rich Smörgasbord, Saturday, 9 June 2007 08:26 (eighteen years ago)

oh hai

let me suggest that part of people's amusement at paris's crying / screaming / whining here might have to do with her chief cultural product being a show where she and nicole traipse around being totally indifferent to the entire universe, stealing things from people and breaking stuff and wreaking havoc in a couldn't-give-a-shit way that is, admittedly, amusing

and that therefore it's pretty classic, basic comedy when the queen of couldn't-care-less is suddenly and dramatically reduced to hysterics when temporarily separated from the life to which she's become accustomed

and that if she were anywhere near as awesome as the lex likes to imagine she is, she'd have reported to jail and come out smiling in 40 days with corn-rows and a do-rag going "hey look everybody i got to make my own shiv" and "yeah i had a 'bitch' for a while but we grew apart"

but of course she's a fairly sad person with more or less none of the few redeeming characteristics of the fantasy character she sometimes plays

so she won't

nabisco, Saturday, 9 June 2007 08:34 (eighteen years ago)

I never saw her show and I'll assume you're telling the truth about how she behaved on it. But I don't think this is "classic comedy". Not funny.

Show=Life

stevienixed, Saturday, 9 June 2007 08:55 (eighteen years ago)

So, it's late at night/early a.m., and I am thinking in my own clumsy way that this whole deal is almost a sort of (overdue, both chronologically and otherwise) symbolic slamming shut of doors on and finally waving goodbye to a whole bunch of noxious cultural phenomena that I associate with the early '00's.

..and now I'm looking forward to the day when American Idol is cancelled...or Vice magazine folds. It's maybe a little like how seventies stuff like the Weathermen, SLA, and Watergate underlined the demise of "the sixties". Or the JFK assasination or Beatlemania being a belated end to "the fifties".

I can barely even think right now, let alone write, and maybe my muddled observation and crappy analogies make little sense outside of my own mind, but man, it's just I think this decade so far has sucked, horribly, in so many ways. Good riddance.

nabisco didn't say paris has no redeeming qualities, he said she has 'more or less none of the few redeeming characteristics of the fantasy character she sometimes plays'; it's not at all the same thing.
also, saying someone is 'trying a bit too hard to be otm' then accusing them of being judgemental seems incongruous.

Yes, but 9/11 was supposed to be the belated end to the frivolous & ironic 1990s--and that didn't happen--though I like the idea of Paris as Patty Hearst. Maybe she'll convert to NOI and start slinging bean pods.

stevie, Saturday, 9 June 2007 17:58 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know where this idea came from that the 90s were frivolous and ironic. People in the 90s were ridiculously earnest and idealistic, especially compared to this decade! The 90s wouldn't have paid any attention to Paris, not just because you couldn't get high-speed video on the internet, but because the 90s were busy thinking Alanis Morrissette had interesting things to say, and being charmed by Jenna Elfman, and celebrating Earth Day, and experimenting with being actual lesbians instead of just making out with friends at parties, and admiring Pedro's activism on the Real World San Francisco. Which had its own Paris, and his name was Puck. Peeps in the 90s were serious, and instead of celebrity trash culture we got our yucks out of random historical cultural trends, like buying vintage Thundercats t-shirts and watching 50s educational films on hygiene.

(I think this is because the youth demographic in the 90s was OLDER and small, and has now been supplanted by a younger boom generation that is way more conventional about stylishness and materialism and celebrity culture. In high school terms the 90s were a geek/freak decade, and the 00s are a jock/cheerleader one.)

nabisco, Saturday, 9 June 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

there are still lots of earnest people around at the moment, nabisco.

acrobat, Saturday, 9 June 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

In the '90s the political obsessions were mostly centered around Bill Clinton's penis--frivolous. Buying Thudercats t-shirts=ironic. The '00s are just like the '90s except that instead of finding new things we've just mainstreamed all the stuff that seemed slightly edgy back then (trucker hats, Bill Stiller, grunge, hip hop, reality shows, live helicopter shots of slow moving vehicles) and kept it going ad nauseum.

There were earnest people in both decades--I mean you've got Emo & True School & the netroots & the 9-11 Truth idiots & a million political documentaries now.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Saturday, 9 June 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

Haha wait you mean my vague description of decade trends doesn't accurately describe EVERYONE?!?!?

No seriously though, I'm not saying kids today aren't earnest, just that there are certain types of 90s idealistic earnestness that are considered pretty passe these days -- it feels like young people now inhabit our society a lot more naturally (because they grew up in a really large cohort of children) and instead of the attempted thinky/progressive earnestness of the 90s they're just naturally, conventionally earnest. (And that'll probably continue, because kids growing up on stuff like High School Musical are MEGA on the having-a-huge-culture-cohort thing.)

In any case it seems completely wrong to say the 90s were frivolous and ironic.

xpost 90s political obsessions were not centered anywhere near Clinton's penis

kingfish, Saturday, 9 June 2007 19:55 (eighteen years ago)

80s cartoons aside, I agree that putting people in prison for drunk driving won't stop drunk driving accidents from happening. People under the influence of alcohol are terrible at making decisions about right and wrong.

What we oughta do is produce cars that are fool-proof, so that drunks can't operate them. Breath alcohol ignition interlock devices oughta be as standard as airbags. If people will try to drive drunk regardless of the consequences, might as well make it really difficult for them.

Paris wasn't drunk the second time she was arrested though, right? If you know you're not supposed to drive, don't fucking drive. And if you know you're not supposed to drive and you want to do it anyway, try and be real low-key about it. Don't drive like such an idiot (lights off; 70 in a 35) that you'll get pulled over.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Saturday, 9 June 2007 19:55 (eighteen years ago)

which direction are people driving when they drive drunk? to work? to home? where do they start? the bar. Insure the bar AND the driver and all of a sudden there's a genuine incentive besides good citizenship and the outside chance of a successful civil suit to force your patrons into a fucking cab.

"deterrence" works best if you apply it to people who are likely to be have some control over a situation - meaning not drunk, among other things

Don't want to keep going on about this but gays-in-military was a blip for most Americans and abortion was a side issue for crazies just as it had been in the '80s. The American left had no real organized agenda in the '90s other than gaping in horror at Clinton's compromises with Gringrich.

Most of the political passion was on the right, and it was focused on Clinton's sex life from the moment he entered national politics. Read or watch The Hunting of the President for evidence. Everything, including the Vince Foster stuff (was he banging Hillary? was he covering up Clinton's affairs? blah blah) had to do with it. Monica was just the culmination of this, when the whole country had to hear about this stuff every day for about a year & a half.

Many states have "dram shop" acts that make bars secondarily liable for injuries negligently caused to third parties by obviously drunken patrons. Dunno if California has one or not.

As for "deterrence don't work"--I think that's a major overstatement. Does it refer to specific deterrence (preventing the individual from reoffending) or general deterrence (preventing all citizens from engaging in the prohibited behavior)? I suspect the former may actually work in this case, since Paris is so clearly freaked by being in jail that she really won't want to go back.

jailtime may stop DUIs reoffending, but it doesn't seem to have that effect on violent crime, for example.

Depends on the type of crime. Obviously it's very difficult to deter impulsive crimes, since they are by definition not really premeditated. General deterrence is most effective when punishment is swift and reasonably certain, when it is closely tied to the gravity of the offense, and this information is widely known. General deterrence theory is essentially a kind of economic analysis of crime, the idea being that where the consequences for the bad actor are sufficiently severe and likely that he will be forced to think about and consider those consequences before engaging the bad act. For it to work, legislators can't be tweaking punishment and crimes all the freaking time.

All of this outrage is missplaced! The outrage should be aimed at the fact LA County has an overcorwding issue and Sheriff Baca has to have a program in place to control the population. If everyone in the country who has served every second of their county jail sentence or feels completely outraged would send money to a LA County Jail Expansion Fund then maybe all of this outrage could actually do some good in the future! Our aim should be to make sure EVERYONE in LA County that is sentenced to county jail serves their entire sentence!

The entire country needs to deal with the facts of how things are in LA County as told by Sheriff Baca. He stated the typical in Paris's situation. And it isn't what she is getting. All in the name of publicity. SHE SHOULD BE LET FREE NOW AND NOT A SECOND FURTHER!!!!FREE PARIS! TREAT HER LIKE ANYONE AND EVERYONE IN LA COUNTY!!!!

The sad fact is that not every state is the same when it comes to sentences for DUI offenses. Our state has mandatory minimum sentence that includes mandatory county jail, loss of license and a hefty fine with increases in time and amounts for each occurrence thereafter however, I don't live in CA. You should be outraged at the CA government for sentence minimums not Paris Hilton!

Paris needs to be treated like everyone else in LA County! And the fact is that she isn't! And you idiots who don't get that need some serious help is seeing the big picture!

PARDON PARIS!!! PRESIDENT BUSH PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! ARONLD SCHWARZENEGGER PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!! PARDON PARIS!!!

"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.

As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

lol i know it's true, but it's funny cuz it's so intellectualized here - it feels odd taking part in such conversation at a hole-in-the-wall hairdresser's.

Surmounter, Sunday, 10 June 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

cuz we did get past the "oh GOD, i can't believe they let her out" thing, which seems to the usual interaction i have re: Paris

Surmounter, Sunday, 10 June 2007 17:28 (eighteen years ago)

again i think it's her sheer pervasion, if nothing else about her, that warrants credit.

Surmounter, Sunday, 10 June 2007 17:31 (eighteen years ago)

it's like how you have to credit the actor who plays the character in the movie that really, really agitates you. at the very least, you have a reaction to the character that you have to deal with, something with which to entertain yourself. this thread has interruped many a moment in my day-to-day existence, to my own detriment, but that speaks to the base power of Paris Hilton. of course, most of her power is due to money, but just as much of it seems to result from the perception that she has not made the most of it. this sense of wasted opportunity renders her even more powerful sociologically, because it is challenging and omnipresent.

TOMBOT, Monday, 11 June 2007 16:28 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah Tom, I tend to think you're right about that. I haven't looked at the studies and probably wouldn't be qualified to judge them. But it seems damned odd to me that somebody can conclude that each person executed deters between 3 and 18(!) murders based on the tiny number of executions per year.

(b) something about this suggests that he is totally unfamiliar with who Paris Hilton is apart from the sex tape, which is funny because it's TOO EASY to imagine Hitchens's only brushes with pop culture involving sitting around drunk in a filthy bathrobe, angrily surfing the web for porn, therefore

(c) LEAVE IT TO HIM to project something resembling "kiddie porn" onto people's interest in her doings

They're such gross angry lulz, though! Much like Hans Christian Andersen, everything he writes sounds much better read out loud in the trashed, fulminating voice of a guy who'd be about to commit some act of domestic abuse if only everyone hadn't abandoned him years and years ago. It'd be funny if he were some kind of hardboiled private detective or renegade cop, but these days it's like "hey, didn't you used to know XX?" and he goes "lemme tellllll you somefink about XX, I useta have respect for that sonofabitch, but then he said he liked FRUIT MENTOS, and now bloated amoral GIT is WORSE THAN NAZIS, he cannnn ZZZZZZZZ"

nabisco, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:29 (eighteen years ago)

My grammar is bad there: Hans Christian Andersen is better read in the voice of a nice old man who has been asked to read a story to his grandchildren but is too drunk to focus on the pages, and so just makes everything up instead.

So which was Hitchens' best album?

Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 June 2007 20:32 (eighteen years ago)

hey you, "hoi" means "the" in greek, so you just said "the the people," but maybe you meant that.

Hoi polloi is Greek for “the common people,” but it is often misused to mean “the upper class” (does “hoi” make speakers think of “high” or "hoity-toity"?). Some urge that since “hoi” is the article “the hoi polloi” is redundant; but the general rule is that articles such as "the” and “a” in foreign language phrases cease to function as such in place names, brands, and catch phrases except for some of the most familiar ones in French and Spanish, where everyone recognizes “la"—for instance—as meaning “the.” “The El Nino” is redundant, but “the hoi polloi” is standard English.

btw, for all i know, "über" only means "over" in german, its use as an intensifier's being an english invention, so if you wanna get nitpicky you have a world of trouble in front of you.

pretty good Hitchens piece. i'm not gonna fault him for teaming up with 90% of the male population in finding Paris' cockmanship less than stellar.

(I don't think "uber" is used as an intensifier in English, or at least no more than the equivalent "over" is (overlord, overmind) -- it's an intensifier by spatial metaphor, let's say.)

it's a great way of expressing how devoid of carnality it was.

from what i have read, Hitchens lives a happy life with his second wife and three kids, so i don't get where all the wild accusations come from.

"undergo" is a weird verb choice for "the sexual act"

Depends if she was top or bottom. I can't remember. It was mesmerizing to watch it, the deer in the headlight type of effect, but the sex itself lacked something. It did have something: no connection to the other (the dude banging her nor the viewer). You could see the self-love (of PH) ooze off the lens. I'm sure she's very proud of the sex tape itself: it granted her admission into the world of glitz and glamour. She was semi-famous before that, but only in a featured in a clip for Vincent Gallo's Paris Hilton song kinda way.

nathalie, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure if I'd want to subject myself to a Nick Carter sex tape. Ek. But if I had to choose between that and a tape of Lindsay and Aaron C getting it on... Ok, hell no, neither.

PARIS COULD BE ''FORCE FED'' IN PRISON

Paris Hilton may be force fed by a drip following worries over her sudden weight loss and refusal to eat in prison.

The hotel heiress, who is serving a 45-day sentence for driving on a suspended license, has sparked concerns after losing over 5lbs in a week and appearing "weak and lethargic."

Paris' weight has plummeted to 100lbs since she was transferred back to California's Century Regional Detention Center last week.

A source was quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "After she was transferred back, Paris refused to eat. Staff became worried as she seems very thin with her bones poking out. She was also very weak and lethargic."

"They threatened to put her on an intravenous drip to rehydrate her and give her some nourishment unless she started eating. She has since managed to get a little food down, but doctors are closely monitoring her."

"She looks very pale. She's not allowed to wear make-up and her hair is matted and frizzy from washing it with soap as there's no shampoo."

Paris, 26, is reportedly only allowed to leave her cell for an hour a day, and the only human contact she has is with the doctors and three deputies who monitor her.

The "medical condition" the blonde was said to be suffering from has still not been disclosed.

BESOTTED Ian Huntley is threatening to starve himself to death in a bid to see more of his gay jailbird lover.

The self-obsessed Soham killer began a hunger strike last Tuesday - and says he is prepared to die unless his latest demands are met.

Huntley, 33, says he is fed-up with being kept on the "boring" medical wing at Wakefield prison.

Advertisement
Instead he wants to be moved to one of the main wings, where he can be nearer to gay killer Dean Wood, 29.

The pair have become close since Wood was jailed last year for killing casino boss Barry De Lacy in Leeds.

Huntley - serving a minimum of 40 years for the murders of 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman - is under constant watch in his cell.

That means he cannot see Wood alone there. He has also been prevented from visiting Wood in his cell, and has had four requests to be switched from the medical centre refused.

The Mirror can reveal he is taking liquids despite not eating for almost a week.

A Home Office source confirmed: "He is saying he is on hunger strike and that he is serious this time. He has not had any food for five days now. Whether he can last remains to be seen."

It is Huntley's second hunger strike, and the latest in a series of attempts to take his own life.

He has tried to commit suicide three times, most recently in September last year by taking an overdose of antidepressants.

On that occasion he spent 19 hours in a coma.

Since announcing his latest hunger strike, he has spent most of his time in his cell, where he is having regular medical checks.

He told prison staff: "I have not eaten, and I will not. It is the only way you take notice of me, and listen to my views. I want to be able to see people in my cell, not just in the day room.

"I will keep on refusing meals until my regime changes."

Insiders at the jail say Huntley has become increasingly despondent over his minimum 40-year tariff and a warning from the Lord Chancellor earlier this year that he must die behind bars.

His records show him constantly complaining about his treatment, his room on the hospital wing, and his education classes.

They also reveal prison bosses going to amazing lengths to keep him happy.

He has been given a "cushy" job on the wing, stays up late at night watching TV, is allowed to sleep in until 9 am and has bought himself a new stereo.

But he is just three and a half years into his life term, and knows he will be 70 before he can apply for parole.

Huntley's "significant events, conversations and observations" are recorded. His typical regime over a 19-hour period, from 20 past midnight on May 29 to 7pm that evening is noted.

It reveals Huntley being allowed to sleep in late - with the cell door open when it is hot. They also record his excitement at the delivery of a new stereo to the medical wing.

The staff always refer to him as "Ian", and make entries on his general demeanour and behaviour every two hours.

But Huntley remains sullen and is described as being "quiet" and reluctant to mix with other inmates. He has even complained about his prison wages.

One entry says he started smoking again because he had "lots on his mind".

But many staff are unhappy at the favourable treatment Huntley receives. One said: "He's got the life of Riley in here."

Dom Passantino, Thursday, 21 June 2007 09:24 (eighteen years ago)

They have more in common than you think:

Not only does Paris also like wood (see various amateur videos), but Huntley
was convicted of riding an unlicensed and uninsured motorcycle.

In the last decades interest in hunger artists has declined considerably. Whereas in earlier days there was good money to be earned putting on major productions of this sort under one’s own management, nowadays that is totally impossible. Those were different times. Back then the hunger artist captured the attention of the entire city. From day to day while the fasting lasted, participation increased. Everyone wanted to see the hunger artist at least daily. During the final days there were people with subscription tickets who sat all day in front of the small barred cage. And there were even viewing hours at night, their impact heightened by torchlight. On fine days the cage was dragged out into the open air, and then the hunger artist was put on display particularly for the children. While for grown-ups the hunger artist was often merely a joke, something they participated in because it was fashionable, the children looked on amazed, their mouths open, holding each other’s hands for safety, as he sat there on scattered straw—spurning a chair—in a black tights, looking pale, with his ribs sticking out prominently, sometimes nodding politely, answering questions with a forced smile, even sticking his arm out through the bars to let people feel how emaciated he was, but then completely sinking back into himself, so that he paid no attention to anything, not even to what was so important to him, the striking of the clock, which was the single furnishing in the cage, merely looking out in front of him with his eyes almost shut and now and then sipping from a tiny glass of water to moisten his lips.

this is a lie:
The hotel heiress, who is serving a 45-day sentence for driving on a suspended license, has sparked concerns after losing over 5lbs in a week and appearing "weak and lethargic."

Paris' weight has plummeted to 100lbs since she was transferred back to California's Century Regional Detention Center last week.

Scolding people for "biting" Daily Show jokes is almost as bad as that thread where someone accused Daily Show writers of stealing jokes from ILX. When two people make the same joke it's usually because it's a really obvious, easy joke, people (and when the topic is Paris Hilton, pretty much all the jokes are really obvious and have been made by a million people independently).

Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 00:27 (eighteen years ago)

Hi, Alex in Baltimore! Welcome to the point of my previous post.

HI DERE, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 12:12 (eighteen years ago)

I actually like Paris in a weird way - I'm not completely sure but I think she might be cleverer than people think; her act on the Simple Life is definitely that. Also I am pleased by the fact that she used to go out with someone else called Paris; although it would have been better if they had got married (on the Eiffel Tower of course).

She seems to do what she likes without caring what people think (maybe becasue she has so much money?), making her a kind of postmodern feminist icon; I'm not saying that she's a positive role model, any more than George or Callum Best - but its interesting that she exists as a person at all.

Her leaving prison reminded me so much of a Big Brother eviction, even to the crowds standing around holding up placards. There wasn't any booing though.

AlanSmithee, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 12:27 (eighteen years ago)

What a contrast to when Jonathan King got released, to a crowd of one passing old lady who took one look and said: "oh, get back inside you silly old man."

I liked the part where Larry asked her what her favorite bible passage was and she was all, "ummm.....I don't have a favorite."

In her defense, she is a Catholic girl and I always had the impression that quoting passages out of context was more of a Protestant thing, but I still chuckled a bit.

She did seem to get genuinely choked up talking about recidivism in the women she met in jail and wanting to find a way to help with that with some sort of halfway house program, I think that was sincere.

Dan totally OTM about one thing: I had never seen her smile before, and she's like genuinely 100% totally cute when she smiles! It's like she's been making that horrible face for years and years in an effort to look her absolute worst.

(I would actually guess that she somehow doesn't like looking "cute" and is pulling the face in an effort to seem "sexy" in a tough, adult way, which I suppose is the kind of late-teenage affectation that can stick with you.)

nabisco, Thursday, 28 June 2007 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

I should specify genuinely smiling, as opposed to smirking or dutifully fake-smiling for cameras.

Reading his wikipedia page

When Barron's father died in 1979, he left the bulk of his estate to the Roman Catholic Church and other charities, and almost nothing to his children. Barron contested the will because of his lifelong career of working to build the hotel company and won his lawsuit in 1988. His half-sister, Francesca, lost her case and received nothing.

Also when you read his bio: hellaconfusing.

deej "worse" probably isn't the right word but I think he has a point: objectively a widely seen sex tape is probably a more scandalous, taboo kind of thing that would make a rich family embarrassed and ashamed of someone than a drunk driving charge.

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has landed a part in the movie version of a futuristic rock musical, according to trade magazine Variety.

She will sing in Repo! The Genetic Opera, which is set in 2056 when the human race is almost destroyed and survival depends on organ transplants.

Director Darren Lynn Bousman, who made all four Saw films, said he auditioned 30 actresses for the part.

"Paris came in and owned it," he told Variety. "She is this role."

The reality TV star has signed up to play the daughter of an organ transplant magnate played by Paul Sorvino, the magazine reported.

Paris Hilton nevertheless not onterfd

Yesterday it appeared reported that Paris beside the inheritance of its father threatened seize because of its life style. Now appears that the blondine must make itself no care: she would not be nevertheless crossed out from its will.

Monday communicated several sources that Barron Hilton its for from its will had obtained because he disagreed with its life style. She will have brought the family at schande. Its stay in the prison was the drop, was then said. Now appears that of that rumour nothing where is.

How much Paris will be exactly inherit of its father now also no longer clear. Yesterday it still concerned 51 millions dollar.

According to reports she was arrested leaving the Brazil v Netherlands match in Port Elizabeth.

Officers allegedly found a substance in her handbag.

She had flown in to the country in a private jet to watch the quarter final.

"Had so much fun at the game today. What a match! I love South Africa," she said on her Twitter page.

"It's so beautiful here. I can't wait to go on the safari this week and see all the amazing animals."

A South African court has dropped drugs charges against US socialite Paris Hilton after her arrest at a World Cup game.

Ms Hilton was arrested in Port Elizabeth after the Netherlands' defeat of Brazil in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

She appeared at a special court on Friday evening.

A friend of Ms Hilton with her at the stadium was found guilty of marijuana possession, her publicist said.

Ms Hilton's friend was sentenced to pay a fine or spend 30 days in jail, it was reported.

Ms Hilton appeared in the court wearing a beige dress and a glittery necklace with her hair in two ponytails, a reporter said.

In court she was addressed as "accused number 1".

She thanked the court before leaving.
'Misunderstanding'

Her publicist told the Reuters news agency that she had been questioned by police but no charges had been brought.

"I can confirm that the incident was a complete misunderstanding and it was actually another person in the group who did it. The case has been dropped against Paris and no charges will be made," Ms Hilton's spokeswoman said.

After her release she posted a note on the social networking site Twitter saying: "I was assisting the police with the investigation and answering their questions."

Ms Hilton is the great-granddaughter of the founder of the Hilton hotel chain.

In 2007 a US court sentenced her to 45 days in prison for drunk and reckless driving.

After serving 25 days in jail she told US talk show host Larry King that she had re-evaluated her life and wanted to do more charity work and less partying.

Anyone believe that's what happened?

She appeared at a special court is the kind of vague description that tends to jump out at me. How intriguing!

Paris Hilton has been arrested after she was caught with cannabis in her handbag by customs officials, say reports.

The 29-year-old had just arrived at Figari airport in Corsica on a private jet from Paris, police sources told AFP.

Officers found less than 1g of cannabis in her handbag, and released her soon afterwards without charge.

It comes two weeks after she was arrested for drugs during a World Cup match in South Africa.

Police told the local newspaper Corse Matin: "Ms Hilton was taken aside as she landed at Figari.

"She was searched in a secure area of the airport police station and an amount of cannabis that weighed less than a gramme, was found in her handbag.

"Due to the small amount of the substance, she was cautioned to not travel with drugs then released within an hour with no criminal charges.

"The drug was confiscated and destroyed."
Hilton was then due to travel by yacht to the upmarket resort of Porto Cervo in Sardinia.

The socialite had posted pictures of her luxury flight from Paris on her Twitter account.

One picture shows the hotel heiress reclining on a double bed.

one law for the rich..

Paris Hilton: Gay men have AIDS, are gross

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago)

it must suck to be so infamous that ppl basically take every opportunity to make you look like a horrible person

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Thursday, 20 September 2012 16:06 (twelve years ago)

hi paris please die of aids

clouds, Thursday, 20 September 2012 16:13 (twelve years ago)

of course the flipside is that Paris appears for all intents and purposes to be a uniquely horrible person so I guess this all comes out in the wash

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Thursday, 20 September 2012 16:14 (twelve years ago)

wow she stayed out of the news long enough

akm, Thursday, 20 September 2012 16:21 (twelve years ago)

I bet she still cut out the article, stuck it on her pink fluffy wall and smirked "See I am FAMOUS!"

huge lols at paris' initial "i was having a serious conversation about health issues in the gay community" excuse.

Cannes: Paris Hilton Cried Watching Bling Ring
"It's so violating."

turds (Hungry4Ass), Friday, 17 May 2013 17:29 (twelve years ago)

... then why did she go watch it

AMERICA IS ABOUT RESSLING (DJP), Friday, 17 May 2013 17:29 (twelve years ago)

There was one upside to watching the movie, though. "I designed everything in the house, so it was really cool to see it on film," she said. It shows: Hilton's house is a tribute to Hilton herself, and as the celebrity-obsessed Bling Ringers raid her walk-in shoe closet and party in her "nightclub room," Hilton's limpid face stares back at them, emblazoned on all the pillows, artwork, and walls. "That house is like my dream house," she told me. "I worked so hard on every detail."

I asked Hilton whether seeing the movie from the kids' perspective makes her feel at all sympathetic to the real-life ringleaders, played in the movie by newcomers Israel Broussard and Katie Chang. "No way!" Hilton said. "Well, I actually kinda felt bad for the guy, because I feel like he didn't want to steal the clothes and all that stuff, really. He just wanted to be cool and fit in with that girl. So I mostly blame the main girl. I don't know her name. But her."

A man approached the heiress with his iPhone out. "Paris, you sexy bitch!" he shouted. "Are we taking a selfie or what?"

"Yeah, bitch," she replied. They leaned in close and posed.

"Are we taking a selfie or what?"

fyi if I ever unironically say this sentence, I would hope my ILX friends would hunt me down and kill me
