When I first heard that Paris Hilton was planning on making music, I think I laughed. And then gagged. And for good reason; Paris Hiltons' only apparent talent is spending money. That's the one thing that hurled her into celebrity status. It's certainly not her brains or looks (although some would argue that Paris Hilton is a blonde haired, brown eyed goddess...to which I would say...are you kidding me?) But then again, I am certainly not a fair judge due to my partiality to wholesome brunettes. Especially southern brunettes with green eyes. Yowsa.

Regardless of whether or not you favor her appearance, you cannot deny the fact that she is successful (of course, it all depends on how you measure success). Her name is attached to perfume, lingerie, purses, drinks and she hopes to one day open a hotel and boutique chain simply called 'Paris', so as not to have any affiliation with her parents popular hotel chain.

But what about the bimbo we always see on television? The one that popularized the saying, "that's hot"? A saying that is now being spouted off and repeated by little 16 year old wanna-be-socialites of the world. In a recent article I read about Paris, she says about her album, "I, like, cry, when I listen to it, it's so good." Geez...what an idiot, I thought. But when I read the rest of the article, I saw her in a somewhat different light. Now don't get me wrong, by no means am I a fan of Paris, I simply view her in a different light. It's a very subtle change in lighting, but it's there.

Her single, "Stars Are Blind" is climbing the top of Billboard's dance music charts. She says, "I think when people don't know it's me, they won't judge it. But if they know it's me, then they'll be like, `Ugh.' They won't even dance." Duh! What a smarty. And that obnoxious baby voice that she uses in "The Simple Life"? She says it's an act. In a magazine interview with Blender, she tells them that, "I'm always playing a character. I don't talk like this really like a baby. I don't act like myself in public, because I don't really want to show everyone the real me. Because I have no privacy whatsoever, the only thing I have is who I really am." Now that's probably the smartest thing I've ever heard her say.

So what about teenage girls that try to emulate this helpless, baby, party-girl image that Paris says is an act? Well...the French have a word for them, "idiote".
