> [@](#): > > Gobear, 42 in August and still a handsome sumbitch. Ah, but you are forgetting one of the great inequities of life, which is: as men get older, they tend to look more like Sean Connery. Whereas when women get older, they tend to look more like Sean Connery. ---

Oh come on-a lot of women look simply gorgeous in old age! Audrey Hepburn, the Queen Mum, my gramma. In fact, in my grandmother’s case, she looks better in middle-to old age than she did when she was young. ---

Why are they “famous”? Well, they’re NOT all that famous, really. Truth is, even “Entertainment Tonight” and the E! Network would rather not spend any time covering them. But face it: “E.T.”, the E! Network, and a host of other TV tabloid shows or “reality” shows have hours to fill, and there just aren’t enough genuine stars willing to go to exciting places or do exciting things for their cameras. REALLY big stars don’t want to appear on E!, and they don’t have to! Bruce Springsteen already has all the fame and media attention he’d ever want, and then some. Mel Gibson already gets $25 million a picture- what does he need the E! network for? Remember that awful show “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here”? Did ANYBODY on that show really qualify as a “celebrity”? OF COURSE NOT! A genuine star would never stoop to sppearing in something like that. The only people willing to appear on shows like that are has-beens and never-weres who are just desperate to get in or stay in the public spotlight. E! needs plenty of “celebrities,” but has nothing to offer someone who’s already successful. So, they have two choices: 1. Dredge up a bunch of has-beens and treat them as if they were still important. E! would LIKE to do interviews with Russell Crowe, but since he’s not interested in talking to them, they settle for Danny Bonaduce or Corey Feldman. 2. Take some nobodies and try to MAKE them celebrities. Maybe E! would LIKE to do a feature with Julia Roberts on the beach- but since she won’t give them the time of day, they settle for the Hilton sisters. ---

Paris Hilton is skeletal, and she looks like an alien. [http://www.deviltopay.net/hiltonalien.gif](http://www.deviltopay.net/hiltonalien.gif) ---

There was a much better picture of Paris Hilton in the back of a cab with no knickers on and a miniskirt, with the camera flash lighting up her giblets. (Believe me, a turkey’s giblets were seductive by comparison). Obviously I’m not going to post a link to it, but it’s not impossible to find. Arguably the worst, most humiliating celeb-whoops! shot ever. ---

I’d really like to see what they’d look like with semi-natural hair and skin… with class… please girls, do it for science, if not for yourselves! ---

Not bad. 😃 At least, I’d rather look at that than her face. ---

Yeah, but I don’t often hear guys, upon catching sight of the Queen Mother, muttering “Boy, I’d totally sleep with her.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-hilton-sisters-why-the-fuck-are-they-famous-and-why-should-i-care/184030.md?page=2)
