Paris Hilton, World Record Winner

Paris HiltonMs. Hilton has made it into the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records, but it may not be for a reason she'd particularly enjoy. While Britney Spears or Tom Cruise were probably somewhere close behind, Paris takes the crown for our favorite record ever -- Most Overrated Person.

A spokesperson for the book says it took its info from a number of magazine polls. Readers voted on their least favorite and most overrated celebrity and Hilton's name kept coming up on top.

Other celebrities to make it to Guinness this year include Madonna with the highest earnings for a female singer in 2004 and The Rock for being the highest paid actor in a debut role for "The Scorpion King."

436. Although it is a little petty and mean, deep down I am beyond thrilled that Paris Hilton is in the Guiness Book for most over rated celebrity. I mean, can she even be considered a real celebrity? For years, all she was known for was being a rich party girl. Hey, I know a lot of rich party girls who probably deserved more media attention than this girl. I don't understand how she is a sex symbol either. She has the body of a pre adolecent girl. I do think her face is pretty, but is she sexy? No. I have come to the conclusion thar any man who is interested in her sexually is a closet pedohile. Normally, I do not like commenting on bodies, I find it to be conter productive and irrelevant, but c'mon, people! From the neck down she looks like a 10 year old in a skanky dress! My hope for her is that she decides to cut the BS and better herself. Read. Learn. Become cultured.

437. I seriously doubt Paris cares that the Guinness Book of World Records, or the people on this board, think she is overrated. She is wealthy, famous and (like it or not) attractive -- all the things many people despise in a person. She isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so either turn of your computers and televisions or just get use to her.

438. Although probably...well definately true...this has got to be just devastating for her :(

439. WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME! DO YOU REALLY THINK THE WORLD WOULD NOTICE OR CARE ABOUT HER IF SHE WAS NOT A HILTON. THE LAST NAME IS ALL THAT'S GOTTEN HER THIS FAR.

440. Finally, an honor she really deserves! I am so sick of the media saturating us in people we have no interest in, or desire to see, a hundred times a day. Enough! Nothing against you Paris, but I really am sick of seeing you everywhere I look. I could see if you had an obvious talent, like you really could sing or act instead of just having people banking on the fact that you are the media's poster child of the year.

441. I BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE MISREAD AND ARE TO HARSH ON PARIS. SHE IS JUST TRYING TO FIND HER SOULMATE. I BELIEVE HER NEW BOYFRIEND KEVIN LEE KABASAN AND PARIS WILL LOVE EACH OTHER AND HAVE THEIR NEW BABY WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR

442. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE PARIS ARE FAT UGLY POOR PEOPLE.
STOP HATING AND GO OWN WITH YOUR OWN STUPID LIVES.

443. LOL wow that's funny, How prestigous is the GUINESS BOOK? Well doesn't matter the only reason they came up with is the fact that their running out of titles to give. That being said yeah she is mentioned alot, but thats because shes on top of things. I don't hear OPRAH being overrated and i know she aint cureing cancer. I'll bet so much money that its mostly woman that our complaining. Hey ladies look like that and you wont have problems you might even go far in life.

444. They souldn't say that just because she does not have any talent! Pretty, but wear a rubber suit if you sleep with her.

445. Oh... what is the use in ragging on Paris Hilton. Aleast, she is who she is and doesn't bat an eye lash at what people say about her. She is so unimportant that I could care less about hating on her. Hating on her would be so ridiculous because SHE'S NOT EVEN WORTH IT.

Now, Lindsay Lohan is someone you could rag on. I don't agree with the way Paris and her friends treat her though. I do think that lindsay copied Paris' pose and use to be somewhat of a Paris wannabe while she was changing her hair colors. But I think Lindsay needs to change because she could. She has absolutely no class. She's starting to look like white trash. I have no idea why Harry Morton would stick with her. She's not even that pretty, in my opinion. I even saw a photo of Leoardo DiCaprio coming out of a club right behind her after all the rumors speculated they were hooking up. What in the world do guys see in her? She doesn't need to fall into the whole Hollywood hype. She could have grown up to be more classy and now she just looks trashy. But atleast she has SOME intelligence in her, so that's why people think there's some hope by criticizing Lindsay.

But Paris....It would be too easy. She makes it too easy. She lacks in class, that's for sure. But the thing is, she isn't even trying to be of any class.

When Paris was younger, before she bleached her hair, I remember looking at photos of her and thinking what a beautiful NATURAL girl. She looked so naural and looked like she would grow to be such a beautiful princess. NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!

I think Demi Moore had the right idea when she decided to raise her kids away from Hollywood. I think the Hiltons should have done something like that. I think Paris would have grown up to be really beautiful and just naturally good looking.

NOW SHE LOOKS LIKE A CLOWN! She f***ed up her life and reputation.

446. That's BS, Paris Hilton should NOT be the most overrated person, it should be Britney Spears. At least Hilton still has something to offer and Spears does not. Paris is thin and could be a model and has a cool look, she comes across as a real person and loves animals, and she can half way sing (which is way more than can be said about Britney.) Plus Hilton will always have money and can donate generously to causes. Spears will never have money again and could end up taking the public's money by being on welfare eventually. Britney Spear's only appeal was that she projected a sweet innocent aura who unknowingly was sexy. It was all an act but one that was well bought. Now it's obvious she's been boinked a time or two so the non-singing-ability Spears is worthless.

447. She is an heiress. She has money. She is not perfect. She is simply to public about her image and life. We need less show and more her true self.

448. Dear #417,

You must be a fat woman. Are you saying that any man who is attracted to any woman with a body similar to Paris's is a pedophile? That's quite a blanket accusation. What are the physical specifications for "the body of a pre-adolescent girl". Your jealousy and envy is showing! Paris is HOT, as is Selma Heyak.

Now,

449. Haha I knew those world record people were awesome. Now it's finally written on paper that she's a non talent waste of space.

450. This is for John who said Oprah should have been nominated. Shame. At least Oprah gives back to the world. She has spent millions of her OWN money to help those less forturnate. THe only people Paris has helped have been the desingners whose clothes she wears (or barely wears).
