Paris An Idol?

Click to watch Paris Hilton! The eldest Hilton sister and her mother Kathy were both sighted at The Hollywood Museum the other day. Of course, they weren't there trying to soak up anything intellectual, instead they were being honored as 'Idols of Gay Hollywood.'

Since the two were the Grand Marshalls of LA Gay Pride last year, the outfits they wore will be included in an exhibit on the gay pride movement, along with those of other gay icons like Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, and Joan Crawford.



When asked why the gay community has embraced her, Hilton responds, 'I think because I'm free-spirited, I'm real, I like to have fun, I enjoy life and I think that's what's the gay community's about, they enjoy life, have fun and I'm just honored to be a part of this with so many wonderful women, like Marilyn Monroe.'

It's possible we won't be seeing as much of Paris this summer stateside, as she said she's getting ready to tour Europe with her new music. Hilton just released her first single, 'Stars are Blind,' last week with a full album coming out later this year.

32. For all of these people who say they don't care about Paris - you sure spend alot of time reading about her and talking about her - grow up, move on, get a life - if you don't like her - stop looking for articles about her, stop writing comments about her, cuz in all reality this is what keeps these celebrities going - publicity!

33. I have three daughters ages 14, 16, and 18 and it drives me crazy that Paris is beamed around the world as an idol. I'm no finantic and am not preaching but whats so awesome about her being on a tv show and not knowing how to make a sandwich? Is that someone that you want your children to idolize? I think most people that are posted here defending her don't have children or if they do, they grew up without spending enough time with there parents teaching them how to prepare for life. There's more to being an idol then being a total ditz and not being able to take care of yourself. If thats what BIG MONEY breeds, I'm glad our family is middle class.

35. If Paris is worthy of being an idol, then I could run for president! She is not someone who kids should be looking up to. She's a slut, and has probably slept with half the men in Hollywood. Oh yes, her song sucks, also.

36. she's not very bright, in her interview she mentions when asked why the gay community has embraced her, Hilton responds, 'I think because I'm free-spirited, I'm real, I like to have fun, I enjoy life and I think that's what's the gay community's about, they enjoy life, have fun and I'm just honored to be a part of this with so many wonderful women, like Marilyn Monroe... duh

37. she can't sing in her video all I see is her lip syncing. Its clearly a fabrication.

38. who gives a sh*t...live your own life...if you dont like her...then dont...if you do then do...negativity gets you nowhere cuz she is still going to be here either way...get over it

39. Paris is a skank. I thank God that I don't have a little girl that would grow up with that as a role model.
She or her mother are not "Gay Icons" - they just get press (like a car wreck)

41. Paris isn't "MAKING" money, everything was given to her on a platter and that is the ONLY reason she has that unbelievably stupid show. She's just like Tori Spelling who can't act, is fake and also has no talent.

Lets not talk about her being a huge slut! I sure hope no girls look up to her!!!!

42. She is a complete moron. The reason we give her crap and make fun of her is she hasn't done a thing to deserve anything she has. She's what, 30 now? And the only thing people think of when they hear her name is "porn." I mean, gawd, even while making her music video she was popping out of her bathing suit and going down on guys.

43. As we all know Paris does not have the looks and most definetly the TALENT to do anything so she'll come up with pretty much anything to make herself look good. She has only become famous because her father is wealthy and owns a chian of hotels and because she did "SImple Life" and made a porno, man she really is making a difference in society.......NOT!!!!! And I am glad that I am not filthy rich, because you have no private life AT ALL!!!!!!

44. paris is a person just like you and i... she has no restrictions and can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. so let her... if you don't like it - FINE... but other people do and your arguments do nothing... absolutely nothing becuase shes not going to turn around and stop for you...
