Paris Hilton Is All About An Image By Brian Michael Barbeito
I agree with the articles that speak of Paris Hilton. I knew what she was all about the first moment I learned of her. She is all about an image. She is young and rich and stereotypically pretty. I don't think she is evil or anything though. She is a symbol of what many people like and aspire to. Somebody is watching. Somebody is buying. If it is her today it will be another Paris Hilton tomorrow.
We love to hate so many. I think it comes out of frustration though. There is so much that can be accomplished with the platforms that money and fame can bring. These star types have the potential to have everyone's ear and so often they are just about opening a clothing line or something. But it is kind of like a majority rules scenario, and the majority seems to want eye candy and riches and youth and all that.
On the other hand when celebrities talk about political issues many get mad and say that, actors, for instance, don't know enough about many of the topics they promote or disprove of to be saying so much. So it is a difficult situation to figure and get a handle on.
I think that if they put too much other programing on television such as nature shows, documentaries, debates, or what have you, that many in the audience would just turn it off. Paris Hilton looks to be having so much fun. Maybe everybody just wants to have fun. To keep things light. Maybe thats why they love Paris Hilton. |
