Paris Hilton is famous because...?

Paris Hilton- Photo Courtesy of Wikipedia.orgI have always had a mild dislike for Paris Hilton.  I thought she was crazy annoying, but overall harmless.  Then I read a recent article about Paris and now my dislike is off the charts.  In the article, Paris claims to have worked really hard for all the success she’s gotten.  What?!  I am at a loss for what exactly she has done that warrants hard work.  She’s been in a few movies, but no starring roles have been released yet.  She is in a reality television show about two rich girls doing normal, mundane things.  Is this really working hard?  I don’t know the specifics of how she got either job, but face value tells me that they are not even close to the definition of “hard work”.  To make matters worse, she has “written” a book about how fun and sometimes difficult it can be to be her.  Seriously?  One thing that bothers me is how does either of these career moves warrant the amount of attention that she receives?  I am only adding to her “fame” by making my first blog entry about her.  I think the part that irritates me the most is that she has yet to produce anything good.  I have seen “House of Wax” and the memory of how bad an actress she was is burned into my brain (while the plot of the movie I can barely remember).  “The Simple Life” must be an entertaining show since they’re already 4 seasons into it, but it really was never funny to me.  Paris also has an album coming out.  Early reviews say it’s not as bad as you’d expect, which I guess is not a bad review, but not really good, either.  Until Paris does something that makes me take notice and say, “Wow, she really did a good job with that”, I’m going to go back to trying to ignore her.

How do you guys feel about Paris?  Are there any Paris fans that want to defend her?  Let me know what you think.

Paris Hilton is both blessed and cursed. She is a beautiful young woman having won the genetic lottery (dad and mom were good looking) and will also inherit part of the vast Hilton Hotel forutne (I believe her share is estimated at 50 million or more). So Paris has been pretty much spoiled from birth and never had to work for anything and could probably just do absolutely nothing. However she was discovered at a young age by a modelling agency and was picked to be a model. Even if she didn't have any vast inheritance, Paris could have made a fortune as a supermodel. The acting and singing are just interests of hers. Perhaps as she gets older she wants to be taken more seriously. After her stint in jail for driving on a suspended license, she states the dumb act she displayed earlier is over and she will start acting with more intelligence. I believe she was carefree in her youth, but like anyone who matures, now wants to be taken seriously. I think it will be difficult for her to find someone who truly loves her for herself and doesn't want her just because of her fame and money. There is a good possibility she could end up being a lonely person and isolated and/or misunderstood (look at Michael Jackson).
