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.

61. i think paris hilton is a nice person and just a girl living her life. Just because she doesnt let her fame or fortune stop her from being a normal young girl doesnt mean everyone else can judge her and call her horrible names. There are plenty of ordinary people who go to clubs, party, dress sexy, and even couples make thier sex videos. So why are all these people judging her just because everyone knows her name. She did not ask her x to post that tape or asked to be rich and famous or even asked fr people to be mean and say horrible things about her. I think people should not judge her because what she does in her free personal time. If you dont like her then dont read about her dont listen to her music dont watch her on tv no one is forcing you to do these things. Other people like myself think shes just a regular girl and congrats on her fame she made a new name for herself except for always being known "o the hilton heiress". So keep your rude comments to yourself either be positive or just mind your business. Like everyone has heard before "if you dont got nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all".

62. Paris Hilton is definitely smarter than everyone gives her credit for. The girl obviously knows how to market herself. She's has her own TV show, has been in movies, has her own perfume, jewelry line, clothing line, has been a Guess model, has written her own book and now has a hit single. She has accomplished more in her early twenties than most people will ever do in a life time. If I ever met the girl, I would shake her hand and congratulate her. Go ahead, call her a skank, a slut, a ditz etc. Paris Hilton is laughing all the way to the bank. The jokes on you.

63. While Paris is in the news more than some people would like, doesn't speak negatively about her. Why is it people try to tear down anyone that has things they don't. I think it is pathetic to have such negative things to say about someone that they have never met. If you want to blast someone, look in the mirror. When was the last time any of you has done something kind for someone that didn't benefit you. I am sure it has been a while. Paris will not win any support of the public, but I think she is smokin. And last I checked, she has donated more money to charity than most of you will make in your entire lifetime. So, that said, find some other outlet to make yourself bigger than you are. Leave this poor girl alone.

65. This is where I defend her: She's only human! Just cause she loves to have fun and live life to it's fullest doesn't make her a bad person. Yeah she stole a few boyfriends, but YOU TELL ME, how many of you haven't stolen atleast ONE guy from a friend or a nemesis! I know I have! I regret that, and since she's human, she feels bad about it too, whether she wants to or not, SHE DOES! I mean, I wouldn't be on her side but I wouldn't be on the other people's side either. I used to think she was a slut but then I started thinking. I mean, sex before marriage is wrong but a lot of people can't help themselves! Listen, be glad she's doing it with people she knows and not people she meets off the street (from what we know). Also, just because she has sex with guys, makes her a slut? I DON'T THINK SO! She can have sex if she wants, but atleast she's not selling her body off the streets! No one has a right to call her a slut for having sex, CAUSE GUESS WHAT?! YOU GUYS HAVE SEX TOO! YOU GUYS ALSO HAVE PROMISCUOUS SEX SO DOES THAT MAKE YOU A SLUT?! THINK ABOUT IT!

Here is where I don't defend her: Let's just say this, she needs to change! She needs to repent for the things she's done. She may not be a bad person but she puts it off like she is. She was kind of immature with the whole Nicole Richie at the club thing, you know from NE, she should have just let it go! She needs to ask for forgiveness from the people she hurts and she needs to forgive the people that hurt her. Cause she said she's Roman Catholic, right? It still says in the Bible that God won't forgive her if she doesn't forgive others(that's paraphrased).

To Paris: Don't listen to what people say, as long as you know you're a good person, is all that matters! But I do think you need to ask God for your forgiveness. Just be the best you can be! You're a very good singer! Keep going at it, but I think it's wrong that you took that song from Haylie Duff. I have an idea, go after guys that aren't your friend's boyfriends. I hope you actually take it what people said on this board. (The ones that were decent)! GOD BLESS! GOODBYE!

66. Okay first off to whichever MOTHER posted on this needs to go back to watering HER garden, because let me tell you something, Paris is NOT self-concious, she is everything BUT. Which is OKAY, however rubbing it in peoples faces, is NOT an ideal way to make friends. If you watch that tape, she was about to laugh about the "fart" comment. She doesn't care about anyone but herself. Should she be called all these names? No. NOBODY does. HOWEVER, if she is so saddened by it, I suggest she do something about it, otherwise say fook it and move on.

Either way. This is her fault, and when you make your bed. You need to LAY in it. Period.

67. Seriously, people. Leave Paris Hilton alone. She is who she is. She is a very beautiful, very rich heiress. I do not particularly think she deserves so much attention-I find it amazing that so many people "hate" on her. I actually love her new single "Stars are Blind". I think if this single was released under a different name-it would go platinum. Because she is Paris Hilton-she is getting a bad wrap. None of us really KNOW her. We only know what the media creates. Have any of you spent any real time with her? No. As for her sex tape-c'mon...does that make her a slut? Really people. It does not make her a slut.Do any of us know how many people she has slept with???? I think the problem people have with her stems from the fact that she was born into money-and I suppose, well, we get a bit envious.Hmmmm??? Just go on with your lives.

69. i think people just need to lay off paris hilton. the people who do make negative comments about her are the same people that wish they could be her, have her looks or fame. sure she may have done some things wrong but she's human just like everyone else. people just need to calm down and lay off and let her music career take flight. i heart paris hilton

70. I don't want to make her sad and I surly don't wnat to make her cry, but I feel sometimes she tries to hard to be that young hot hollywood type of girl. Yes she has money, we all know that but I think she really needs to take a little advice from her sister and learn that you don't have to be in every magazine there ever was, to be liked by people. Maybe if she wasn't in the limelight so often people would see her as a mature adult and not as a raunchy cheesy love song.

71. Please don't call her a slut. No, I am not a huge fan of Paris but still get real. There is no reason to call her a slut even if you don't like her. There are other ways to talk about people than calling them a slut. Simply state your feelings in a way that won't make her feel bad about herself. Let her be Paris like you let Hilary Duff be Hilary Duff.

72. Why the apologia for Paris Hilton? Given her forthrightly bad public behavior, why would anyone care about her private feelings? What goes around comes around, and other karmic truths. Deal with it, girl, and maybe grow up a little and realize no one really gives a care about your shallow, self-centered butt except as trash entertainment.

74. I think half of these people who comment on paris are jealous low lifes who have nothing better to do then hate on someone. Are you all really that insecure that you have to stoop that low and act so immature. Dont be mad at the fact that she has made it in life and made a name for herself. Hey look you all are giving the attention and if you hated her so much why would you waste your time commenting? Thats just jealousy right there. Honestly You all are ugly in the inside and are probably getting no where in life. Paris is hot so GET OVER IT!
