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."

61. I actually respect her. Her whole life has been very public (take for example her sex tape). She took that in stride; whereas that might have been devastating to someone else. She's funny and stylish, and most certainly not as stupid as everyone makes her out to be. Give her some credit!

62. Paris is only famous because of her name. WIthout that she would be nothing. The same for Nicole R.

63. Paris is our generations Marilyn Monroe. She got famous for being sexy. Whats wrong with that? All you people who degrade her ARE jealous. You are probably ugly and sexless. When will people learn that the only beauty that matters IS on the outside. No one really cares about inner beauty. Thats just a saying ugly people came up with to feel better about themselves. Go Paris!

65. I love her and will love her always. You people who bad mouth her have no idea what she is about. She has odne more and given more to charity than you ever will and her only fault is for not being ashamed of her good looks and wealth. Paris enjoy your life do whatever you want b/c you are living a life all of us including every poster above and blow this ones wishes they had.

70. Boo! to the Guiness book for slinging mud like that. They just lost some credibility as far as i'm concerned. How can ther accept public opinion as grounds to declare her a world record holder? Since when does public opinion even reflect reality? The public is full of morons. And from reading this post, it appears jealous morons. Yes, she has rich parents which gave her more opportunity than the rest of us, but Paris has MADE HERSELF into a household, and very lucrative name. Look at all the other rich little punks that just live in the shadow of their parents their whole life. I don't even know her parents names, do you? Now, they live in her shadow. I say good for her. Your all just mad because while her private tapes rake in millions, people would cringe at the sight of yours. Quit hating.

73. Bless her heart. Personaly, I think she has a lot of talent. It is amazing to me how many people have such anger towards Paris. She seems to be doing quite well. TV show, album, ect. I wonder how successful the people are that bash her??
