Paris Hilton
Below is an amusing Paris Hilton interview from Wednesday's Good Morning America. She's confronted with the idea that the famous-for-being-famous celebs of contemporary pop culture that she helped indoctrinate and sometimes befriended (like Kim Kardashian) have eclipsed her reach. She's asked about the anemic ratings of her unpleasant Oxygen show, The World According to Paris. Finally, when anchor Dan Harris wonders if she worries about her "moment having passed," she looks at her publicist and leaves the hot seat.
That's all telling. But what would have been even more telling would have been to air the "long, heated conversation with Hilton and her publicist" that Harris describes...

Most famously, the women of The View scolded Paris Hilton for her "fluffy" portrayal on this candid reality show, as well as her comments regarding community service for her drug bust in Vegas last year ("Because of a little incident in Las Vegas last year, I have to do 200 hours of community service and it really sucks balls," were Paris' words on last week's premiere).
Noticing several incongruities, ourselves, TVGuide.com spoke with Hilton and her mother, Kathy, regarding scrutiny, entitlement, hostility and manipulation. You know: fluffy stuff...

Unfortunately, pretty much all of Jacqueline's advice falls on deaf ears, as Teresa tells her, "You really don't know ... it's between me and my brother," and then proceeds to overstay her welcome by a few hours.

If your perception of Paris Hilton is that she is not a very nice person and you enjoy being on the receiving end of preaching to the choir, then The World According to Paris is the show for you! What should be damage control for a career that was maligned up until the point that people stopped caring about it is instead just reinforcement for the pampered princess, mean girl image that so many have of Paris. In that respect, this reality show, which premiered Wednesday on Oxygen, has the candor of a pig with lipstick on it — Paris Hilton cannot hide her several negative traits. Either her show is honest to its detriment or at the very least, its star is too lazy to lie...
