Paris Ain't Perfect -- But Cut Her a Break

Harvey Levin, Elliot Mintz, and Paris HiltonParis Hilton has flaws -- lots of them. She has spoken ill of others, she is too deep into vanity for my taste, she arguably parties way too much, she's a really bad driver, and on and on. But does that mean she deserves to die?

I'm stunned by how many people react to Paris the way they react to Al Qaeda. By the way, TMZ has probably done it's share to make her life miserable. We put the Brandon Davis video out to the world, and the car crash, and the other car crash, and the dancing, and the PDA's, and... you get the point. But really? Comment #100? Calling her a "stupid, ugly slut." You can do better than that.

And # 76, calling her a "dumpster for semen." True, she made a sex tape. But honestly, so what? I can tell you this, Rick Soloman bought a $3.5 million house off that tape, but there's never been evidence that she got any money or had anything to do with releasing it. So she made a tape with some guy she was with, does that make her a whore?

I think there's lot of fair criticism in the Paris Hilton department. And she brings a lot of it on herself by creating the Paris marketing machine which, by the way, has been incredibly successful. But with success come lumps, and she deserves to take those lumps. But isn't there a difference between Paris Hilton and the shoe bomber? Just because they have shoes in common doesn't make them one.

286. I absolutely love Paris.She's rich, beautiful and works really hard when she doesnt even have to.Give the girl a break , none of us are perfect,we all do and say things that are sometimes questionable.....so what, thats a part of living.Paris is who she is, so dont judge her. I wonder how many of our lives could withstand the type of scrutiny hers does?

aka.....a huge Paris Fan

287. i agree that paris has her faults and shes entitled to them. i like to party too but lets not forget how many times weve seen her crotch, she doesnt carry herself with any class, the things she says are ignorant and EXTREMELY egotisical. i cant respect someone who has to convince people shes a good person, we should have seen it from the start, and people wouldnt have said shes a horrible person if she had class from the start.
there are plenty of famous stars who party and make mistakes and are still looked at with class, scarlett johansson, rachel bilson, beyonce.... shes called the heir-head for a reason, her "character" on the simple life cant be that far off when her ignorant comments spill on to the pages in candid interviews. i dont feel sorry for her at all, she absolutely brought it upon herself.
what gets me going most of all is how she assumes people call her a slut simply for the sex tape, now if that was all i saw of her i would come to her defense in a heartbeat, but since shes flaunted her bits and pieces all over the media, i dont call her a slut because of the sex tape i call her a slut because of the disgusting public display of affection with her men and carelessness to simply cover herself. she is a media whore, ive never seen anyone who has to have more attention on them.
i dont want to hear that i have no life and nothing better to do or that im jealous in anyway. 1. im sick of seeing her face 2. im in horror that people in this country allow her to become successful and that young girls look up to her and want to follow her footsteps. 3. i have a life and im entitled to my opinions, im not jealous at all, why because shes turned herself into a "business woman"? you dont think she had people telling her to do those things so they can make money off her name? you know how many yes-men and actual business men were behind her book and perfume? point being, she throws herself in your face, acts like an a-hole then expects us consider her feelings. f*ck. that.

288. I think Paris has made as many mistakes as any girl would around that age, just that hers have been on a larger scale because of her assets, and whats worse, they've all been televized and sent around the world via the internet. When I was 18 - 21, my antics would have made great media fodder as well, but thank goodness I'm not nearly important enough for anyone to unearth all my dirt and put it on the news.
She ought to read more books, though, to expand the ol' vocabulary. Or pay sexy men to read books to her.

290. I think people are just jealous. Does she have her flaws? Of course. But, I am still intrigued with the girl -- I think she's attractive, she's rich, and she pulls off the partying lifestyle well. And, I'm in awe of how she has marketed herself and how successful she is at doing it! People who waste too much time hating her (or, on the reverse, idolizing her) are investing way too much time and energy into this. I find her entertaining, and she's probably not as dumb as people think! =)

292. I read all the comments about Paris and I think it was terrible. Being a mother with a young daughter I would hate to read these things about her. But after looking at the viedo with Brandon I feel she brings all this on herself. She was laughing about what he was saying and she has done some really terrible things that she doesn't need to laugh about anyone. That was really nasty how she was acting. Paris if you are reading this, life is not just a party. You are getting older now and soon you will want to marry and have children. Would you want them to see how their mother was. And talking about Mother's. When is your mother going to stop thinking all this is cute. Why because you have money and it's alright. Have some respect for yourself and Mother talk to your daughter and get some morals. At least you don't see Nicole acting like this. I can see why she doesn't want to be around you anymore. Your sister acts like a lady. Why can't you.

293. PEOPLE ARE NOT JEALOUS JUST BECAUSE THEY DONT LIKE HER!!!! THEY ARE TIRED OF LOOKING AT HER CROTCH AND SEEING HER FACE EVERYWHERE TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE SHES A GOOD PERSON.
she didnt market herself, she had others doing that, yes shes making a profit but so are they, they more than likely are using her name to make money for themselves. i know that #288 is long but read it over i make very strong points
i dont like her because she has no class and throws herself in your face
it has nothing to do with jealousy, if she had class and people were picking on her looks just beacuse they were looking for something to pick on i would defend her. she is what other countries see when they look at americans, nothing but superficiality, they think were all like that because she gets so much attention. its frightening that our society is allowing this and that she actually has "young fans" i sincerly hope parents dont allow this to happen to their daughters.

296. Paris is an American Heiress.....We as Americans should be as proud of her as we were of Grace Kelly.
Paris has shown that she is more than her last name.

Stop the bashing......She doesn't deserve it

Come on she is so easy to look at......

She is great..love her!!!
