Paris Hilton Insists She's Not Stupid

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20255502,00.html?xid=rss-yahooheadlines



Paris Hilton says she sometimes acts dumb on television to get laughs, but in real life she's "a strong person" who's been through a lot.

Appearing on the British morning show GMTV to launch her new reality show Paris Hilton's British Best Friend, Hilton, 27, said she cultivated her dumb blonde image for her hit FOX reality show The Simple Life, costarring Nicole Richie, and it became her schtick.

"For five seasons I was stuck doing this character," she says. "It was kind of hard always having to play that character when it's not who I am."

She adds, "I just say jokes but they think I'm serious, which I think is funny, and I think I kind of play up the image sometimes because – whatever – it's just entertainment."

In her British show, 12 young hopefuls battle it out to be crowned her official "British best friend." In real life, Hilton says her fame makes it hard to find close, trustworthy friends.

"It's difficult because you never know what people's intentions are, and I think a lot of girls have become my friend for the wrong reasons and used me," Hilton says. "I didn't realize it but now, throughout the years, I'm realizing who those kind of people are."

I insist that she is stupid.

she has yet to unlock her true potential.

I bet if she practiced she could suck dick so good you'd have to pull the sheets out of your ass

[samikeyp]

If she is just acting dumb....she deserves an Oscar.

[mrsmaalox]

You guys are just crude! Remember, she was a virgin in that sex tape.

[ATRAIN]

Looks like Maalox and Hilton have the same problem.

[Dr. Gonzo]

If I had that kind of scratch I wouldn't give a shit if anyone thought I was stupid.

[desflood]

Maybe she's a better actress than everybody thought.




Nah.

[ATRAIN]

You guys are just crude! Remember, she was a virgin in that sex tape.

If anyone should make a sex tape when they lose their virginity it should be tw, because no oen will believe him when it finally happens.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't think she's stupid at all. I think she knows its in her interests to act stupid. If I had to put her up against half the posters in this forum, I'd probably take her.

I thought that old man decided not to give her anything?

[tlongII]

I'd hit it.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I'm sure she is still loaded. She gets paid for going to clubs, her perfume, her show, etc.

She has more money than I do, that's for damn sure.

Well what am I supposed to do? Act smart?! :dizzy

Me too for that matter.

The old man?

Stopped reading right there. Oh yeah, been through a lot. Touch being a trust-fund baby, I am soooo totally sure, right?

Shes emboides everything thats wrong with this country. Work for nothing, have zero talent, be famous!. Thats her "job".....being famous.

[1Parker1]

She's made herself famouse for being a...socialite. And she's gotten herself record deals, her own reality shows, and clothing line all out of being a blond ditz, with seemingly no talent.

She's a smart businesswoman, I'll give her that. I'm still racking my brain trying to figure out how America is so obsessed with her and why she's so famous.

Celebrity Worship > Everything Else in America.

Every publication of report could be shutdown tomorrow and the only ones left selling millions of copies would be US Weekly, People and whatever teeny-bop bullshit sells Jonas Brothers' popularity and musical talent as genuine.

More Americans know how many kids Brad and Angelina have than how many Clinton has. Or even better, they can do the "7 degree" game with just about any well known actor, but couldnt tell you who is 3rd in line for the Presidency, or who the Chairman of the Fed is.

Filling your mind with worthless knowledge only useful over watercoolers and hair salons is an American tradition it seems. The Church of Celebrity is by far the most appealing to envious Americans slogging through their lives whilst seeing others dance through theirs.

Thats one if those things that she made out on because she was the first person to actually do that. Kim Kardasian tried to follow suit but it didn't work as well.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Paris isn't stupid. The people that have managed to fuel the demand for her particular brand of bullshit are the ones whose IQs I question.

No, she's just a greedy attention whore apparently willing to publicly portray herself as something else in the name of publicity and money and then turn around and bitch about how unfortunate that is. I'd be less insulted if someone called me stupid.

If she was a virgin....she deserves a second Oscar.

:lol

Oh, and you'd be surprise how popular she's over here. Even her shitty song sold fairly well in Europe... :bang

She'll be party hopping for years to come.

Was Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" a big hit over there?

[Slomo]

No way man!?:lol

I think it went gold in a couple of countries :depressed

I don't know this song so I'm guessing no.

[peewee's lovechild]

:lmao PW don't lie, you know you have that freakin song in your iPod album.
Atrain says that he jams to it on the weekends in his Tahoe on the way to the club.

I used to use it to pump me up when I would hit the club.

With that song in your head, you're bound to get all sorts of tail.

[CuckingFunt]

I don't mind celebrity (though I do think our obsession with it has really gone overboard in the last decade or so) as long as the people are famous for actually doing something. Be an actor --> get film roles --> become famous. That progression makes sense to me. But the Paris Hilton model of become famous --> get film roles and recording contracts --> call yourself an actor/singer just doesn't add up.

[S_A_Longhorn]

she has yet to unlock her true potential.

Didn't you see her sex video? That will forever be her "potential".

If she hadn't released the sex tape, she wouldn't be that famous.

[ShoogarBear]

And don't be dissin' Party All The Time. :madrun

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I read that Vegas clubs would pay her anywhere from $60K to $250K to show up and party at their club either on a big party night like New Years or when they were trying to draw in the media for an opening or some new campaign.





I think she's freaking brilliant. She's an extremely well paid attention whore.

[florige]

Was she heard of any before she came out with that tape?
