_shrug_ I genuinely don’t find her pretty. If I saw her in a bar, I would have no interest in her. Truth.

I can’t stand her, but I loved her response video to McCain.  
Well done, imho.

She’s a stupid little snotty bitch whore and I’d like to fuck some sense into her.  
[/QUOTE]

you sure about that? have you seen her fuck? for as much practice as she’s presumably had… she doesn’t seem to know how to enjoy it properly.

At least both of her eyes look equally open in that picture.

I find her OK attractive, but in terms of that type of celeb… Britney Spears is way hotter.

She’s hot.

I mean, my eyes tell me otherwise, but I keep hearing it, mainly in her self-appraisals, so it must be true.

Would someone buy that girl a fan already?

[QUOTE=Marley23]  
That’s probably mostly it. She’s really nothing special appearancewise, but she’s on TV, young, blonde, rich, in decent shape, apparently promiscuous and comes off as stupid. That’s enough for a lot of people.

I really don’t get it either. I try to avoid “news” about her whenever possible, in part because of my contempt for her and in part because I just can’t stand looking at her face. She looks like the most entitled human being on earth.  
[/QUOTE]

Heh, if she were a doper and not a Hilton everyone would be fawning over her. I agree she’s not spectacularly hot but she’s definitely a good looking woman.

No, but two probably fills the quota. And Paris has done at least two that I know of.

I’m not a guy, but I’ll chime in anyway: Paris is okay, in my opinion (lookswise, anyway). Not great, not ugly. She’s cute from certain angles. The “I don’t have two brain cells to rub together” act gets old in a hurry, but…she’s all right, and she does have a certain confidence in herself that can be very attractive. She might be a skank, but at least she seems to be in control of it, not being manipulated into it because she’s too dumb to know better. Put me in the camp of believing that she’s smarter (or at least more savvy) than she wants us to believe. I get very sick of our society’s “madonna/whore” dichotomy. Just because a woman likes sex and isn’t afraid to admit it doesn’t make her a slut.

As a slight hijack, I have absolutely _no_ idea (other than the obvious…obviously) why \*anybody \*finds [Pamela Anderson](http://www.celebratty.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/c3f2e_pamela-anderson-in-black-showing-boobs.jpg) attractive. Fake hair, huge boobs, ugly face…she looks like an obscene parody of a Barbie doll. I can understand why some guys might like that in a sexual way, but…attractive? Yech. Same thing with Anna Nicole Smith (well, before she died, I mean. : 😃 ). I don’t get what’s so hot about someone who looks that fake. Marilyn Monroe did it right. Pamela and Anna Nicole just look…yech.

I would fuck Britney Spears in a hot second, specifically the so-called “trashy,” “overweight” period Britney Spears that was so hatefully lambasted in tabloids and every blog on the internet. That Britney had some fucking meat on her bones, you know? She actually had some curves and some voluptuousness to her. I prefer that Britney to the skinny one at the height of her popularity.

I’d do her.

Yeah, the ubiquitousness (not sure that’s a word, but who cares?) is somewhat annoying, but that’s as much our fault as hers. I also don’t think she’s nearly a dumb as she pretends to be. And she has a great body. We know for sure she puts out.

Yup. I’ll be in the bathroom.

Shes “attractive” in the sense that shes skinny, blonde, with a decent figure and apparently pretty loose. We have a much higher standard for attractiveness in celebrities, we think “hey she should look WAY hotter than that to be famous”, this is what leads people to say that britney looked bad [here](http://women4hope.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/britney-mtv-awards1.jpg). Of course Paris Hilton is attractive, shes about as attractive as any other pretty girl you’d meet at a club on a friday night, shes just not superstar level of attractive. Plus she wears size 12 shoes, thats just scary.

I think this is the hottest she’s ever been. I like how she switches from ditzy to serious back to ditzy.
