The original what? Sans Sex Tape, she’s not even up there with Zsa Zsa Gabor. Who was also famous for being famous. In fact, I believe she’s Paris’ aunt!
No, Zsa Zsa is actually the step great grandmother of Paris. Think this is kind of appropriate. Zsa Zsa was the Paris of her day. Famous for being famous, trampy for those days standards( she just married and divorced one after the other).
I never paid much attention to Paris Hilton until I got sucked into watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Don't ask how that happened...I'm ashamed...I normally don't watch tv other than news. Anyway, her aunt is on that show and it becomes clear that the grandmother groomed her daughters to be, well, whores for lack of a prettier word. Paris Hilton is just the by product of this insanity. I will say that she actually does work for here $$$. She models, acts, decides what crappy perfume/fake hair extensions to partner with to market her image/name. So, I give her credit for not just waiting for checks from her Daddy.
If you find Paris Hilton a bizarre and sad person, you should read about the grandsons of Marvin Davis (remember him?). Now these guys make Paris Hilton look like a stellar member of the human community.
It's all quite sad, IMHO. I never really understood how destructive money can be. The root of all evil? I'm beginning to really understand the bible—more and more—as I mature.
