    Denial is just a feeling you have.


    I don't know why people think I'm a spoiled brat, just cuz I never wear the same dress twice and have a nightclub in my house and get paid to show up at parties.


    I don't understand why people are jealous, like if their parents had $100 million dollars, they would be more down to earth like me. You have so much better karma in life if you're super rich and white.


    I'm dressed like a fairy princess.

    Universe with no Paris Hilton: I want to go to there.


    Also, Paris can be quite smart when she wants to be, and the fact that she plays this character makes me dislike her even more. Be REAL. Stop with the baby voice and fake hair and all the rest of it.

    @ElleL: I was so shocked when I saw a clip with her last year where she was using a normal speaking voice. I mean, I knew the baby voice was unnatural, but you would think she would have abandoned it years ago when everyone started mocking her for speaking that way.

    Ummm, I just snapped to the "collage of pictures" thing. Which strikes me as creepy. If one of my friends randomly gave me a collage of pictures, I would immediately call them up to try and talk them down from the bad acid trip.

    Since I'm a Jewish Mother, Paris gets the nod from me on the thank you notes. If nothing else, it shows you were raised right.


    Not so much on the having a nightclub in your house. When people come to my house they lurk in and around my kitchen, which is um, not hot. But at least they don't leave hungry.

    That, Paris, is not saying a lot considering your social cirle.

    Sadie, I think you've nailed something about Paris:


    She's oddly comforting because she doesn't have an ounce of subtlety. You don't have to guess if she'll zig or zag. She will go on, mincing about in blue contacts and bleached locks and busted extensions, every bit of her constructed and superficial, because that is what she has always done. In uncertain times, it's nice to know that even though something is stupid and annoying, it's at least not getting any worse.


    It's kind of comforting in that she's kind of already hit bottom and not actively asking for a shovel. Y'know? She probably hasn't even thought about a shovel. She's not entirely sure what a shovel does.

    Okay, so.....one of my dearest friends, who is a bit LA (love you honey if you're reading this) but awesome, hung out with Hilton in Las Vegas and she said she was actually really cool and generous.


    But, the PR firm I worked at when I was in London had her in one day - I was out - and my coworkers said she was literally the stupidest person they'd ever met.


    So, those are my Paris stories.
