Yes, the real Paris Hilton making real lasagna. Has to be seen to be believed! (And even then you won’t believe it.)
Lasagna is very simple to make. All you need is a huge and fancy kitchen, top-of-the-range pots and utensils (bought by someone else), a huge fridge crammed with top quality ingredients (shopped for by someone else), and someone to clean up afterwards. And a tiny dog dressed up in cute clothes.
Paris Hilton always leaves you in doubt as to whether she’s serious or not. Personally, I think she’s a comic genius who is laughing at her own stereotype. Cooking with Paris
Don’t miss what she does with the salt!
Tips:
Use fingerless leather gloves while cooking.
Next time, buy lagsagna sheets you don’t have to boil first. It’s too much effort.
Next time, buy shredded mozzarella. It’s too much effort to grate it, and you can’t grate the block of cheese down too far because you might damage your fingernails.
If you forget to put in the onion and garlic, that’s fine. Just leave them out. Even if you brought along sunglasses to wear while chopping them.
It’s important to take a photo and tweet. Be careful about hashtags.
Always stay hydrated, and spray perfume on yourself halfway through cooking.
For her to be a comic genius, someone else would also need to be laughing *with *her.
I’m with the OP in that I honestly don’t get what this is supposed to be. It’s not funny [del] in any way [/del] enough to be a spoof yet it’s too incompetently done to be taken seriously. I’d think maybe it was just to get her name out there again but if it weren’t for the OP, would any of us have seen / heard about it?
If nothing else, it’s kinda sorta entertaining in a circus sideshow type of way.
That’s what she does, essentially. She’s an entertainer and comedian.
You know comedians who create a ‘persona’, like Stephen Colbert playing a right-wing pundit version of himself, or Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge. Hilton takes this one step further. She is playing her persona of ‘dumb, naive, spoiled blonde Paris Hilton’ so thoroughly that her real persona, ‘shrewd businesswoman and professional entertainer Paris Hilton’ who makes $10 million a year from her businesses and performances, is almost hidden.
“People think because of the character I played — people assume before they meet me that I’m a really ditzy dumb blonde. That’s the one thing that kind of annoys me sometimes. They just think because of the reality show that’s who I really am. But that was just a character that I created.”
– Paris Hilton
Fair enough. I like your explanation comparing her to Stephen Colbert and if that is indeed what she’s doing, I guess she actually is doing it well. It has never seemed that way to me but if people like it (which they obviously must), more power to her, I guess.
Yeah, to me it’s clearly calculated. I don’t know if I’d call her a “comic genius” but she is skilled at playing up her persona for publicity hits. When was the last time you thought about Paris? It’s been years for me. Now she makes a silly video and is back in the pop culture conversation. She knows how to manipulate viewers. There’s no way I believe she’s dumber than a box of rocks – she knows damned well what she’s doing.
From the article, it’s not only her. Her father has cut the whole family from his will - about two dozen people. They’ll only get about $5.6 million each, poor things.
But the article says Paris is worth $300 million anyway.
Sure, he’s pissed at her, but so what? I don’t see anything in that saying she’s an idiot. It just said she sullied the family name and won’t be getting the inheritance. So what? I almost admire her more for that – that she’s been able to build her own wealth and doesn’t need daddy to help her out with money.
