Why Exactly is Paris Hilton Famous?

WHY on earth is Paris Hilton famous? What is she famous for? In what manner has she contributed positively to society?

I don't get it. Every day on E! they ALWAYS, ALWAYS talk about Paris. Her new boyfriend. Her new breakup with said boyfriend. Her arrival at parties. How much jewelry she has. Her sex tape.

VH1 constantly gives this woman press. Same with Us Weekly and other similar publications.

People with ACTUAL talent (Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Glenn Close, Martin Scorcese, Morgan Freeman, just to name a few) don't get anywhere NEAR as much press as Paris does. Why is that?

The other day I was watching a rerun of Laguna Beach (and promptly changed the channel as I cannot relate to those people) and they were watching The OC and one of the Laguna peeps was excited because Paris Hilton was coming up :rolleyes::blink:

Paris Hilton cannot act. Paris Hilton cannot sing. She is not known for being intelligent. She is not known for her philanthropy. She is not regarded as a positive role model. What I regard her as is not suitable to print on this message board.

So what is it about her that makes "America" fawn over her? I am just stunned at her celebrity. Perhaps if someone breaks it down for me, I can finally see the light.

1. ) And foremost, being a whore.

2. ) Being an heir.

3. ) Doing a show with a hilarious sidekick.

I love her until she starts throwing insults around to people like Lindsay Lohan. :) Then, I hate her guts.

I saw video of that guy with Paris on Best Week Ever who kept calling L.L. firecrotch and a nobody. Um, yeah, who ARE these people. At least, LL has talent and seems to be a nice person. IMO, anyway.

They don't sell magazines and they pretty much live a "normal" celebrity life - they are "boring." lol

Paris is always on E! and is always in the rags because there's always something to talk about when it comes to her....who's she dating...who's she fighting with....etc.

    • It was interesting to peruse Twitter and seeing some fans who were very upset Anna didn't get to do a tango with Chase, while others were glad because they felt that was her special dance with Duke. A good reminder of how long-lasting soap fanbases can be, even as the show has tried to move Anna on. How any Duke/Anna fan did manage to stick with the show I don't know, but points for will power, I suppose.
    • It's probably a good thing most of us don't post here often now as the shameful conduct of the "legacy media" enabling the attention seeking and grudge holding of Tapper and Alex Thompson would probably have broken the servers. I avoid CNN as often as I can, so I had no idea that every anchor on CNN, probably even an AI Larry King, was plugging the book 24/7. The wagons truly are circling, as even some journalists who love to pretend they aren't like the rest, like Dave Weigel, have joined in. I am at the point where I have no use for any major reporters or media figures. I find it especially disgusting when I see reporters who talk about losing loved ones supporting this book after the reports you posted. 
    • That wasn't an original song. That song is by ABC and was a huge hit in the 80's. As I was watching I was thinking he just ruined a great tune.

        Looking forward to that. 
    • The Hollands obviously had long term story in place for Lee/Caroline/Bobby etc but when the Pollocks arrived they quickly wrapped it up with the new diagnosis and sent them packing. That could have been it for Lee but I think the Elmans brought Lee/Scotty back in their short stint.  Somebody must have regretted dumping Lee.I'm sure Peter Hansen was happy to get the call to return.
    • You have to stop and think: was Estelle the mother to all five children?  How many Mrs. Kendalls existed? Linda Cook played Aileen Kendall in flashbacks, but, at the time, we thought she was the only prior Mrs. Kendall.  It seemed that Aileen’s name was changed to Estelle when Domini Blythe came on.  But Lloyd (Peter Haskell) is said to be going through a divorce when he’s introduced (and when he’s pursuing Sunny).  To me, Aileen is Estelle, and the mother to all the children. The wife Lloyd is divorcing is inconsequential.  Wendy’s fate is never resolved. 
    • Oh you are probably right. I thought Marland brought him back but that must have been an interim writer. Tex somebody...?
    • Do you have Days Breakdown list for Thurs 22 May 25 please?
    • I just hope it doesn’t become a constant thing. Like with Days, it’s funny the first time, but after the 475th time, it isn’t anymore. 
    • Marland killed them? I thought that was someone else.
