I understood that sentence even better the first time, when I somehow missed the word "boyfriend."

i guess i wouldn't be upset if she died.

At one time, I would have been one of the defenders - "she's harmless; we can always use a Jayne-Mansfield-walking-her-pet-bobcat-down-Hollywood-Boulevard" type - but these clips of her throwing around slurs and blowing mountains of coke with disgusting rapists are just too revolting.

I still like "Stars Are Blind," though. Hopeless.

I brung my post from the thread across the hall for this one.

I would, I took her off my deadpool team. She just needs to wait until '08.

god, paris is such a worthless cunt.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:23 (nineteen years ago)

will this finally be the end of her?

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:37 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, in so much as she even had a "career" to save....I don't see her tearfully going into rehab or sensitivity training ala guy from Grey's Anatomy or Kramer

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

No one cares. No one will be outraged.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno, Kyle. Paris Hilton has basically made a successful career out of all the things we associate with celebrities whose careers are melting down: sex tapes, being famous despite having no real product, reality TV, excessive partying, being vapid and gross, and assembling pop records despite having no musical background. She's like Behind the Music in reverse.

So I guess logic suggests that what would be a career-killing embarrassment for most people could even maybe be a boost for her, considering that her value runs from tabloid to product instead of the other way around, like most people.

(But of course, realistically, people can enjoy a trainwreck of vapidity and glitz, but racism drags it back too far into real-world ground for many people to be honestly amused, so yeah, maybe.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:48 (nineteen years ago)

Seriously, though, I hope to see some kind of Behind the Music 20 years from now, where it's all like "but then Paris drifted into a downward spiral of hard work and attention to her craft ... her fanbase drifted off ... but now, at 40 years old, Paris is staging a comeback, going back to the roots of her art -- skeezy socializing and piles of coke."

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:51 (nineteen years ago)

all the stuff from parisexposed dot com she left in a storage space until it was auctioned off

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 1 February 2007 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

It might make big news over here in the UK after the Big Brother racism stuff. Or at least The Sun might have another crazy front page (someone post that here please for people who haven't seen it - thanks.)

There's also a video of Paris SMOKING A TAMPON which is just about the most awesome thing ever.

wait - say what? does she think its something else?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 2 February 2007 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

Nabisco has a point about her starting at the bottom "Behind the Music"-wise - where does she go from here? Rehab and then a stint as leathery-skinned philanthropist?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 2 February 2007 00:13 (nineteen years ago)

God yes, the "all" there is totally disingenuous and self-deceiving!

I mean, I'll grant that members of the middle + upper-class white-Christian mainstream who get to avoid those deep ethnic/religious slurs still may have some smaller quality people will use to degrade them from the ideal -- homosexuality, baldness, fatness, often femaleness! -- but talking about racism is really ridiculous if you're gonna pretend it's all intergroup squabbling and that there isn't a privileged mainstream.

Haha apart from being a woman, Paris is sitting pretty in that "idealized" pocket. She'd get the sign that says "rich bitch," where the misogyny of "bitch" codes for something, but the "rich" ... ha, as if genuinely mega-wealthy people give a shit about that one. (Haha "you're rich" as an insult really only works with rock kids and socialists.) (And not so much socialists.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 2 February 2007 00:15 (nineteen years ago)

The "all" isn't some unity of oppression thing on that cover, the idea is "They're all British" (you turn the page and they're all holding up signs saying "British") - the actual editorial however has a good old go at multiculturalism and "unlimited immigration".

Paris Hilton is the perfect litmus test of one's ability to be a cultural commentator in 2006. Essentially, if you are one of the (sadly) many with a kneejerk prejudice against our heroine and her nascent-but-magnificent singing career, you may as well give up now; start buying Word and James Blunt albums, for there's no hope for you any more if you don’t get exactly why she’s so important.

Paris's brilliance is such that it dazzles any cultural theory with which you try to explain her appeal.

She's obsessed with the twin archetypes of American high school cliquery and the blonde fairytale princess, and has had an album crafted in those images for herself: it's the plastic bubblegum pop album of the year. At a time when a perception of authenticity is necessary for both critical and commercial success, it's refreshing to find a singer who couldn't care less about credibility. Paris Hilton is not seeking your approval here, losers! She has the best money can buy, and in the world of pop production this means the best. She's got Scott Storch making her sound like Britney Spears fronting the Pussycat Dolls; she's got Kara DioGuardi, fresh from penning both sides of the Ashlee Simpson/Lindsay Lohan bust-up, to document exactly how sad she is that Nicole Richie a) is mean and b) will never be as great as Paris; she’s got choruses which burst into life like stars exploding into fireworks.

You know what, though? The best thing about Paris is Paris herself. Her voice, a light, breathy thing which is exquisitely suited to the material. Her pretty mouth framing first-love clichés with a shocking emotional clarity, investing them with vulnerability and boundless hope. Her inability to put a foot wrong.

The operative term in there is "2006"

In 2003, Elbow were the perfect litmus test of one's ability to be a cultural commentator, but now look at us.

Shame Lex is so busy this morning, you'd have thought he'd love to join the debate in here.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 2 February 2007 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

I think losing Jade AND Paris in the space of a couple of weeks might be too much for the Lex to take. If Brian Molko comes out as a racist next week Lex will be all out of icons and might just top himself.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 2 February 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

lex is currently very busy watching youtube videos. i think hes going to attempt a dignified silence on the matter

― Friendly Tree (688), Friday, 2 February 2007 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

Perhaps he'll be finished with Youtube in time for next week's thread: "Maria Sharapova - Why I Hate Jews"

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 2 February 2007 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

though im not sure what this 'dignified' is going to entail, considering that after gritty shaker last night, he spent 20 minutes under the table unable to get out, reaching pathetically for a chip

there's a night called 'gritty shaker'? that's kind of... comforting.
