"Professor" Paris -- Coming to a City Near You?

Professor Albert Einstein of Princeton, Professor Stephen Hawking of Cambridge ... and Professor Paris Hilton of The Learning Annex? E = that's hot!
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton has been offered big bucks to speak at the The Learning Annex Real Estate and Wealth Expos in Seattle, Chicago, New York and Boston. The soon-to-be-free heiress has been offered one million buckaroos to teach a one-hour class on "How to Build Your Brand." Get your product advice from the expertise of the socialite, reality TV star, sex tape star victim, paparazzi princess, nightclub entrepreneur convict!

Paris once told Newsweek, "I consider myself a businesswoman and a brand." The Learning Annex President and Founder Bill Zanker believes "Paris Hilton is a brilliant entrepreneur who has built an incredible brand." Brilliant? Her hair dye is brilliant.

The million-dollar offer is the second highest speaking fee ever offered in the world, behind The Learning Annex's star instructor, Donald Trump. Hilton would share the stage with the Donald, grillmeister George Foreman, toothy motivator Tony Robbins and other business leaders.

17. She may have been offered the money but there's only one drawback to collecting it. She'd have to speak publicly without sounding like an idiot and we all know that's not possible.

19. GET REAL!! If she is a brand, then she belongs on a cow's behind.

20. The few times I've had the misfortune to actually hear her speak, she (and her friends and relatives as well) sound borderline retarded. Whatever it is her 'brand' is, I certainly don't want any of it and I wouldn't want to sit through one of her 'speeches' if YOU paid ME!
I have never watched "The Simple Life", and I won't watch her Larry King interview either.
She's an ignorant, undeducated person with nothing to offer. Her "Jail Mea Culpa" is meaningless and hollow, but it sells papers because it panders to the lowest of the low in our culture. If I were the Queen of The Media, I would ignore her for at least two years....let's check in on her in a couple of years and see if the leopard has changed her spots.

23. Yeah I'm going to fork over my hard earned cash so Paris can tell me to flash in public, have an IQ only slightly larger than a Great Dane and date people named Greasy Bear. The only thing worse was if it was a double bill with Trump.

24. papa hilton is obviously calling in all his markers and dipping heavily into the family slush fund to get all these "interviews" and "speaking engagements". pathetic. the entire family is pathetic. i say boycott all their products and businesses.

25. Get off your sad tired ass and start making some money off your name before you harp on paris... Get out there and make a difference!

....the truth is the family is cash poor and the mother places conditions on her affections based on how much money Paris makes. If you consider doing porno as 'making a difference' you must be from the family....

26. "Yesterday, CNN proudly announced that it has scored the first post-jail interview with Paris Hilton. To make room for Paris on Wednesday, CNN canceled its interview with Michael Moore about his new health care documentary SiCKO."

The dumbing down of America is complete.

Geez.

27. this is such a stupid joke.

this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

i love the learning annex. shame on you tmz.
i thought that paris was trying to shed her branded image???????

the person that should be doing these lectures should be
Rick Salomon AND THEY SHOULD NOT be done at the learning annex.
they should be done on at a porn tradeshow. like the one that takes place
in L.A.

28. Course Outline:

1. Be born into wealth.

2. Make a porn video.

3. Make up a saying like "thats hot" - if that doesn't work get pulled over a bunch of times for dui and get thrown in jail.

4. Act like a nut job in jail, get out in 21 days and the Learning Annex will pay you one million dollars!

Emperors New Cloths? anyone but me?

29. True Story!

The news anchor on Fox News this morning mentioned the “media frenzy” regarding Hilton’s upcoming release. He remarked, “Well, maybe they’ll just wave the color orange at her.” He quickly added, “Well, it looks like Paris will be with us for a long time.” His co-anchor barely stifled a moan.

During a drive to a client’s office this morning, I picked part of a news announcement on the radio: “…Hilton, and she is anxious to let everyone know how she found God, and what she has learned during her confinement. Um…do we care?”

30. I am a big Paris hater and agree with a lot of people on these boards about how vain, idiotic, and general waste of human flesh she is.

However, I have to admitt that she has built a brand around herself. So this idea does not repluse me. Her brand (of being herself) is something she has WORKED on....and yes it feels strange to say she has worked on anything.

If the learning Annex wants to pay her that much who am I to disagree with them.
