88
Who:
American socialite, hotel heiress, model, singer and occasional porn actress. Basically, she's famous for...being famous. (Is Paris Hilton Andy Warhol's nightmare?)
Shamelessness:
Shilling a tasteless and shallow personal image of self-made celebrity based on zero talent and 100% marketing to an uncritical public. Also: setting back the image of women everywhere by a generation or two. Worst of all, we the public keep buying what(ever) she's selling.
She can't sing. She can't act. She can't write. And she has no sense of humour. A success – only in America. (According to Forbes, Ms. Hilton's income was in the neighbourhood of US$7 million in 2005–2006.)
Dear, can't you channel your wealth and influence into something useful?
Shameless quotes:
“I don’t really think, I just walk.”
Psychological analysis:
"We would walk down the hall and you would find a nasty wad of what looked like Barbie hair. This came off her head?"
- Tina Fey, then-writer on"Saturday Night Live" recalling guest host, Paris Hilton
Mitigating Factor:
At 28, still young enough to mature...or self-destruct.
