I find it just a bit annoying that her and that girl are getting ANOTHER show... The first one was amusing as a socialogical study, but the second one, more Paris Hilton and Nicole doing stupid and rude things -_-

Well, if you're speaking strictly physical, the things that bother me about her is A. The haughty scowl B. The scorcher tan (it makes me wince) C. Her body -- because it is the body of someone who doesn't have to do anything in the way of work. I think its really attractive when people either have a really strong body because they have a physically demanding job or when they are soft at the edges because they have things like a job or a family or any other passion that is more important to them than being a supermodel. Maybe that's just me. It seems that Paris Hilton exists to party. I guess it's all shes good for...seems harsh, but that's my impression.

I admit I am mostly jealous of her wealth. Why can't I be rich? I'd do such good things with the money... And I'd be so boring no one would write about me in tabloids. Posts: 9942 | Registered: Mar 2003

I wonder about that... Perhaps I'd be the same me even as a billionaire. Not caring about hair, clothes, make-up, drugs, alcohol. Such stuff bores me. I'd probaly get made fun of a lot too... hmmm But, what if I was born a billionaire and was shallow and squandered my money instead of going to college and studying all the stuff I want to study and going to a lot of operas. Tons of operas. Maybe if I was reincarnated and managed to keep my quirky personality.. Then I'd go to about 400 concerts and operas a year and never, ever get rip roaring drunk, do cocaine or do a porn...

(Not aimed specifically at you, Syn, but at all of us.)
I think a lot of that has to do with upbringing.
I can tell you right now that had my parents somehow become billionaires before I was born, and I was raised with all that fabulous wealth, they would never have allowed me to become spoiled. They have too much of a work ethic, and they made sure I got one, too. Both my parents, my father especially, were born poor, and clawed their way up so that my sister and I could be born middle-class. Had they managed to claw all the way up to the level of downright wealthy, they still would have raised us to appreciate what we had and that nothing is worth having that isn't worth working for.
I don't actually know this for a fact, but my suspicions run strongly toward the notion that Mumsy and Dadsy Hilton didn't try to put such notions into Paris's head. (Of course, they were also born wealthy. That can't help.) At least, she certainly doesn't act like it. I think your kids will only grow up as spoiled brats if you let it happen. If you teach them better than that, then they can be hardworking and generous even if they don't personally know what it's like to not have money.
Of course, that, like all my ideas on childrearing, is purely theoretical. I have no children. I don't have much money, either, so I don't know what it's like to be rich. Maybe it really does change a person. But I like to think it doesn't, because I plan to be fabulously wealthy someday, but only if it can come without the expense of having spoiled barbarian children like the Hiltons have.

Wow, I'm glad someone else thinks that. I thought it was just me.
My wife is always saying how cute she thinks famous people are, which doesn't bother me, but because I never find myself doing that she thought that I must have been offended by it. So one day a month or so ago we were out to dinner, and she asked me what famous people I thought were attractive. I thought and thought... I know there are a few, but I was at a loss. And after several minutes, the only one I could come up with was Tina Fey.
She is super hot, and I'm glad to know I'm not completely demented for thinking that. Posts: 2804 | Registered: May 2003

Tina Fey is super hot. No rationalizations needed. There aren't special reasons that she's super hot. She just is.

I have seen certain pictures of Paris Hilton where she was physically attractive, but not beautiful by any means.
But i agree with the people that are saying that alot of her unatractiveness is because of her attitude.
One who I think is really attractive is Jennifer Garner, she's very pretty and if you see her on any shows like Leno or Letterman she has this really great personality, which makes her 10 times more attractive.
She's nothing like any of her movie or TV persona's that i've seen.

quote:or that you can't see past personality and judge looks without them, but that's bull.
Are you serious?
I think that Myr said it best...Harsh is the word. She has a nice body for a skinny girl, but I don't think she is all that attractive, and I thought before she ever opened her mouth.
But if you think that attitude has nothing to do with attractiveness then I think you are wrong. I have seen a ton of women who would have been pretty if not for the scowl they constantly wear, or if their smiles ever went past their eyes, and that is all about attitude.
Some women are beautiful despite their attitude...but I think the point if this thread is that Paris Hilton isn't one of those.
As far as being critical, I feel that is fine. I am not hot at all...but I have never claimed to be, or gotten a TV show because of my porn home video either. I don't flash photographers, or spend millions on my wardrobe. When the porn tape came out I felt a bit sorry for her...but now that she has CHOSEN to be in the public limelight, and her only talent is looking like a ho and acting like a 4 year old.....well, I don;pt feel sorry at all now, I just feel distaste. She doesn't even rate disgust....just distaste.
She is a ho, and to be honest I could probably find a better looking one here in town, for a lot less money.

She is well-groomed. Bright teeth, shaped eyebrows, clear skin, silky hair. That's the basis of physical attractiveness.
I wouldn't call her ugly, but I wouldn't say she was overall "attractive" to me, either, not in the "attracts me" sense. She has dead eyes (IMO), just like Anna Nicole Smith and Martha Stewart. That is a big turn-off in my book. It doesn't feel like I would be interacting with a real person, and inauthenticity smells more than body odor. It's a rotting stink.
On the other hand, well-groomed women with a light in their eyes, with interesting things going on in their minds, with voices that have intriguing things to say, with quirky sharp brains and generous spirits -- they are attractive (IMO).
So, ugly? Not in my opinion. But yes, unattractive. No magic, no interest, no point.

I agree, but I still think she is attractive in that haughty british royalty way. There is something fascinating to me about people who live that way, and for whom appearance is everything.

I find I cannot be attracted to celebrities whose photos consist of them posed, unsmiling, surrounded by golden light or draped over furniture looking deadly serious. I like to see people look natural and happy. I often think people dressed up at an awards show or a premiere are less attractive because they're too dressed up and the glint in their eye has gone out.
Example: One of my favourite pictures of a celebrity is one of Billy Boyd. He's outside somewhere and it's cold (tip of nose is red) and he's in a jacket and scarf and he's grinning happily.
(I tried to find it, but I couldn't)

Funny you should mention the dead Martha Stewart, several years back when she first started her magazine 'Martha Stewart Living' mad magazine put a fake cover on the back of there magazine that said Martha Stewart dying.
It showed this grave with two arms sticking out of it, one holding a watering can and the other holding a flower pot. And it featured fake articles like Knitting your own death shrowd, and potpouri scented embalming fluid, it's a good thing!
Heh heh, I know it's off topic but it's humorous, I tried to find it online but all i found were some pictures of a guy that has been crushed by a cargo container...
