I wonder if she will publish a knitting tutorial? I’m envisioning Google offering up search hits, “did you mean Paris Hilton _socks_ video”? ---

> [@Cheesesteak](#): > > I spent a few minutes googling her DJ career. She got destroyed the first time she DJed in public. The crowd booed and the media was promoting the fact that she sucked and didn’t know what she was doing. She actually had to learn how to DJ, how to make her name something that was a draw for people when she DJed. I imagine that is the case today, because she doesn’t have a TV show anymore, and while she’s a “name”, it’s just as easy for that name to kill you as save you. It’s not hard for a celeb to become a has-been working for scraps. Paris Hilton did not “get destroyed” after her first DJing gig in Brazil. She got made fun of and poo-poo-ed, but you can’t destroy something that is barely there to begin with. Paris Hilton was never going to be “a has-been working for scraps”; she was born wealthy. There is no “learning to be a DJ” other than “learning to look like people expect a DJ to look”; see my previous link for details. ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > The point I was making is simply that it has been a conscious choice for her, which she has been very successful at, and is therefore indicative of being an intelligent person. It sounds like you agree. I do. > [@Moriarty](#): > > What’s interesting is that there are people here who are criticizing her for merely inheriting her wealth and people are criticizing her for working for her wealth. She probably could have pulled off a trust fund lifestyle, but apparently she had greater ambitions. > > Now, you may mock those ambitions because you don’t find her ‘schtick’ to be any good, but I think it would be foolish to mock it because you don’t realize it’s her ‘schtick’. Andy Kaufman did the whole ‘outrageous person, and you don’t know if he’s being sincere’ thing, too. I’m not mocking her at all. I’m just not willing to hold her up as someone who is worthy of plaudits. She has not achieved anything great: she’s paid lots of money by people with lots of money to hit “play” and then look like what they think Paris Hilton as a DJ should look like. See my previous link for more details on the job. She didn’t start with nothing; she started with everything. She wasn’t unknown with no leverage: she was rich and famous and had a ton of leverage. Are we gonna hold up all rich kids who don’t live as hobos as “great successes” and “really smart people”? I hope not because in in my experience, in most cases they aren’t. ---

I don’t know how smart or dumb she is but iirc, she got hacked in the initial fappening matter because her security question was what is her dog’s name. Thar little dog she kept in her purse, Tinkerbell, was nearly as famous as she was. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk ---

> [@GreenWyvern](#): > > Her father has cut the whole family from his will - about two dozen people. > [@pulykamell](#): > > that she’s been able to build her own wealth and doesn’t need daddy to help her out with money. That article is not talking about her father _Richard_ Hilton, but rather her grandfather the grandiloquently but appropriately named _Barron_ Hilton. Richard Hilton does indeed have cause to be pretty pissed at his daughter because she cost _her father_ hundreds of millions of dollars, not just herself. Since he was one of Barron’s eight children he was probably due a lot more than that article implied, because it is pretty likely Barron would have left more to his kids than the grandkids. Not that it really matters to anyone but a Hilton heir. As is usually the case with family money and connections breeding yet more money, Richard Hilton is quite legitimately worth hundreds of millions on his own. He just missed out on probably doubling his already huge fortune. ---

Ha ha- that was hilarious. Stupidy funny. Hilton has clearly not spent much time in any kitchen much less the one she is working in. And don’t cooking videos usually involve the chef tasting the dish and declaring how good it is? I’m guessing lasagna isn’t a regular part of Hilton’s diet. I presume this video is some combo of getting her name back into the public eye and probably writing off a house purchase and some dog costumes as a business expense. ---

Based on a certain video I’ve seen she is likely better at giving BJ’s than being a DJ. But only slightly. ---

My favorite part was when she Tweeted about her “infamous” lasagna… definition “well known for some bad quality or deed.” I think she knows exactly what she is doing. ---

Paris Hilton plays “Paris Hilton”. An utterly brilliant and captivating performance.
