While there seems to be some debate on the attractiveness and whoreishness of Paris Hilton, I think we can all agree that zombie Paris Hilton is getting by on her fame, not her talent. ---

Actually, she’s a very skilled business woman. It’s easy to criticize the business she’s in, but as far as capitalizing on that business (whatever you want to call it), very few, if any, have done as well as her. Paris Hilton’s net worth: 100mil kim kardashian net worth: 40mil Just to put that in perspective. ---

I’m sure nobody thinks they are virgins. 🙂 Have you seen the Comedy Central Roast of Pam Anderson? While it’s extremely NSFW, they devote quite a bit of time talking about [her](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8in24qTx_mI) [sex](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hj27VV3dp8) [tape](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlagsyS1iC8). > [@TBG](#): > > As for Pamela Anderson, she was already on the most popular show in the world for several years before her tapes hit. And one of the tapes was with her husband, unlike Paris’s tape, where she was with someone else’s husband. Not saying it makes Pam a non-slut, but certainly most people’s first exposure to her wasn’t the same as their first exposure to Paris. Ironically, the guy in Paris Hilton’s sex tape, Rick Salomon, later married Pam Anderson. ---

When I see threads like this resurrected by first time posters, I always like to wonder what search string led them to that particular thread. “Paris Hilton slut” “Paris Hilton sex tape” “Paris Hilton herpes” or maybe “hard sluttin’” or “manly feet” or “giant whorish space mantises” Yeah, I’d like to think it’s that last one. ---

She did, despite her protestations otherwise at the time (she repeatedly says that it’s been at least a year since she’d taken drugs). But when I hear “Courtney Love wasted,” I think of her [throwing things at and crashing Madonna’s interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPPiIOBSBSs). ---

But when I hear “Courtney Love wasted,” I think of her [throwing things at and crashing Madonna’s interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPPiIOBSBSs). Is there anyone among us who can honestly say that he or she would not get wasted and throw things at Madonna if we could get away with it? I also wonder about the exact process and motivation that leads one to join a message board in order to post a joke about Paris Hilton being a slut in a five year old thread. ---

Meanwhile, what’s the relevance of her having herpes? Herpes is insanely common. It’s decent odds that one of the posters who mentioned “herpes” in this thread actually has it themself, and doesn’t even realize it. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > This. Lots of Hollywood types enjoy being sluts as a hobby, but with her, it seems to be a full time job. Yip, and that’s why, contrary to the OP, the Kardashians have the same reputation. It also doesn’t help that Hilton comes off as unintelligent and vapid. So she also fits the “blonde bimbo” stereotype, which has a huge overlap with the “slut” stereotype. Then Venn diagrams intersect greatly. Anderson doesn’t have quite such a reputation because she’s done more, and because she’s much less in the limelight now that she’s older. She had more of the “gets her way because of her looks” reputation.
