The Hilton Sisters: Why the Fuck are they famous? And why should I care?

I think Paris Hilton was dating druggie Terminator 2 star, Edward Furlong at one point. They were pretty skanky.

Yeah, she also dated Shannen Doughrety’s X husband and recently got into same kinda brawl outside of a nightclub out of it.

I hang my head in shame over my thirst for celebrity gossip

Never heard of them. Opened the thread assuming the OP referred to Violet and Daisy Hilton. Now their life might make an interesting movie…

Ditzy party girls. There’s a million of them out there, only these two have millions.

The Bush daughters are ten times more interesting, not least of all because their actions directly challenge their father’s policies on drugs and abstinence, but also because they are apparently far more intelligent. And they hang out with Ashton Kutcher, Dan Savage’s dream boyfriend.

Why would they need marketable skills?

Yuck!

I wonder if Nicky and Paris have ever heard of Daisy and Violet?

I don’t know, but this commentary sure made me snorffle:

I see a Hustler spread in their future.

No, they’re too rich for Hustler.

Damn, but that MSN commentary is funny!

My first thought was about the pygopagus conjoined twins Daisy and Violet, also.

So yay for Qazzz, Eve, and FisherQueen! :slight_smile:

Here’s what Facts About Multiples has to say about them:

So FisherQueen, they were in movies… although I don’t know if those moveis were necessarily about them! (though from the context, it seems to look that way)

And this is what “pygopagus” means, according to that site:

Their union was a dorsal one (joined at the back), with no involvement of the thorax or abdoment.

This site has some good photographs, and so does this one.

I read an interview with them a while back when it was linked on Fark - I think it was the aforementioned FHM spread. Most of it was typical brainless fluff, but on the last page, they started talking about some guy who dared ask one of them out, or something like that, and they came off sounding like the most arrogant, stuck-up, spoiled, insufferable little weasels ever. I mean, they were mocking this guy for daring to even speak to them, let alone call them, etc, etc, etc. It was absolutely revolting.

Daisy and Violet: I have tapes of both of their movies, and they were very talented musicians and singers. Actresses, not so much . . . If I ever get two Siamese cats, I plan to name them Daisy and Violet . . .

Paris and Nicky: I actually have nothing against them, because I feel we need our brainless, glittery social butterflies. They’re like the sprinkles on the cupcake of life.

You gotta admit, asking out a pair is a pretty ballsy thing to do.

Well, when you asked out an original Hilton sister, you were pretty much asking out both of them . . .

well, before we had artist celebrities, we had rich celebrities.
Kings and Queens, Emperors and Empresses, Dukes and Dutches and all who moved in their social circles, were the original celebrities.
If you had it, you flaunted it. It was expected. You were supposed to rub it in your lower social classes’ faces that you were richer and therefor better than them. You had to remind them of their place in society.

Later, when Hollywood really took of, and people started going to the motion pictures, and then later the talkies, actors and actresses, musicians and the like, became the “norm” for “celebrities”. They were much more exciteing because you could actually become one of them. And that was their main attraction. They weren’t born into money. They made it themselves. And that made their life an attainable goal to the common people.

That’s it, really. They’re nothing more that socialites.
And the world like looking at pretty things.

“At 20 you’ve got the face God gave you.
At 40 you’ve got the face you’ve earned.”

Jesus—what the hell did I do to deserve this puss?

Sweetie, this guy thinks you are beautiful, not to mention that your Kay Kendall author photo on the inside back jacket flap is sensational!

Lighting, darling, and airbrushing. Does wonders.
