Paris Hilton wouldn't be worth a line of copy if she weren't a Hilton and a publicity hound. The fact that she's rich and attractive and shoves her face in front of every camera isn't newsworthy. She broke the law. She's paying her dues. Are we supposed to feel sorry for her? Poor Paris...aren't we all tired of her?

What is she famous for? Looking into a camera, posing wearing designer duds, partying at night clubs? She should be hanging her head in shame over her notorious sex tape. Instead its made her a media darling. Gimmeabreak! What is wrong with this world when that is news?

What has she done for society to make the world a better place? Smiling for the camera? Dancing, partying and shopping? Has she held an actual job?

When I see the trivia that is her life and her supposed fans asking for her to be pardoned, I shake my head.

I spent two days searching in fields and underbrush for the murdered 9 month pregnant woman, Jessie Davis. The anguish of her family made the community come out in droves to help them find her. Unfortunately, she wasn't found alive. But there are real news stories in the world...and Paris is drivel.

Paris..I've said this before, get an education. Then do something to help make the world a better place. You have the money. You have the resources. Do something besides buying another designer handbag.
