During a recent interview, Hilton's trendy SoHo hotel room had the frenzied atmosphere of a children's play area. A plate with scrambled egg remnants lingered on an end table. Makeup bags doubled as a throw pillows on the couch. Bottles of vitamins fought for space on a cluttered coffee table. Two smiley publicists leered from the bedroom while a makeup artist prepared his palette and a hairdresser prodded the top of Hilton's head, installing her latest set of hair extensions.
With her infamous Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, half-awake in her lap, Hilton rested in the eye of the storm, unfazed by a barrage of silly questions and the yanking of her new locks. Other than refusing to utter Backstreet Boy and ex-beau Nick Carter's name, Hilton purred freely about her sex tape, her falling out with "Simple Life" cohort Nicole Richie, her naughty "House of Wax" scenes and her death. Her most shocking revelation: Hilton wants a simpler life.

Q: Do you read what's written about you? Do you pick up the tabloids?
HILTON: I don't read any of it. I just look at the pictures to see what I was wearing last week and if it was cute.
Q: Do you read blogs?
HILTON: What's that?
Q: Um, they're these things on the Internet where people write about news and stuff.
HILTON: No, I don't really read anything on the Internet except my AOL mail. I don't like people who sit on computers all day long and write about people they don't know anything about. [emphasis mine]
What, you were expecting something a bit deeper? A more nuanced critique of this new form of media? Perhaps something more than a single, inane sentence?
And you were expecting this from Paris Hilton???
No such luck. Money can buy you a lot of things. But it can't buy you brains...

You know...people who sit on computers all day long and write about people they don't know anything about...like journalists, and script writers, and prose writers. Oh, and poets, and historians, and all those icky literate people!
Anyhow, Paris knows all the people who matter, so she could write about anyone she knows (using small words)and the result would be cuter than a chihuahua wearing a feather boa.

I like to sit on my computer all day long, because it keeps the buttcheeks warm.

Hey, in one of the crackhead moves of the century, I screwed up my blog address in the above post. I regret any inconvenience this may have caused (me) or if it inadvertantly gave a mistaken impression (that I'm too stupid to past in an URL).)

It's a shame that people with all that money don't care enough about their intellect to get a basic education. She doesn't even know what a blog is? I saw a clip of the Simple Life where she didn't even know what a well was for. Seems like she doesn't care about anything that doesn't have to do with her. Sad when someone knows all about what designers are coming out with, but doesn't even know what Wal-Mart is or a blog is!!!

It's not easy being a Hilton--from swords to plowshares AND BEYOND to oil wells and many, many places to go. But, one thing is certain, attributing a recipe called 'Aztec guacamole' to a Hilton is some kind of literary faux pas.
