Hilton Heiress to Media - “No Press Releases please”
June 12th, 2007Customer consultation (Thanks Stuart - i promise i will always tell you when you have spinach in your teeth) tells me my posts of late have been somewhat intellectually heavy..
Associated Press a few months ago requested no articles were printed on the hermit-esque heiress for 24 Hours - The result of this social experiment gone awry, 3 times as many articles on “no articles on paris”!
Same story with Paris issuing a please issue no press release’s press release.
An outtake from this weeks release:
“I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world.”
News Search - Paris Hilton - 1,700 News Articles
News Search- Iraq War - 157 News Articles
Maybe Paris really is over all the drama and noise - the media cannot just be told though, not to mention the public - devouring them as if they were consumables - soaking up every last drop of information.
In 2003, NEW SCIENTIST magazine reported that one-third of Americans were suffering from something it called “celebrity-worship syndrome”, which it abbreviated as “CWS”. Houran, the Psychologist behind the research - “It’s a form of social bonding, stress reduction, escapism and entertainment. At low levels, people tend to be happier, more personable and more outgoing.” While he shies from the idea of a “syndrome”, Houran concedes that at higher levels, celebrity worship has been linked with depression, anxiety, body-image problems and addiction.
Was John Lennon on to something - the new religion? MTV’s I Want a Famous Face - What is up with that!

Suspicion abounds that “I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world.†merely means “Please focus on anyone else, anywhere else in the world, like that Spears slapper who shaved all her hair off, or that Lohan bird who is like totally a way bigger spinner than I am. Just stop fecking focusing on me. Anyway, I’ve found God now so I’m only drinking altar wine.â€
Two points here (thanks MW): 1) was the MTV Awards comedian(ette) correct when she suggested that the prison service was going to make the shy and retiring heiress more comfortable by painting her prison bars to look like penises?; and 2) is Stuart still getting spinach stuck in his teeth?????

I still like the idea of the Paris Hilton Playhouse for Sick Children. However, if you check page 2 of this week’s Hutt News (that august tome from the Valley) you will see extensive pictorial coverage of the Miss Hutt Valley 2007 beauty contest. It seems some of the finalists have been reading up on Paris’ more lofty ambitions, viz:
Brooke got a big round of applause with her answer on world peace.
“I don’t think world peace will happen very quickly because George Bush is still the President.”
[Very incisive, Brooke.]
Monique… saw things a little differently.
“I am definitely for saving the planet…”
[Didn't make you look better in the bikini section, Monique.]
