"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.

63. I actually feel kind of sorry for Paris now because it's obvious she hasn't changed at all and that she really doesn't have a clue how much of a public joke she is. Apparently it was her dad who thought up and coordinated the whole perfume line, and just slapped her name on it.

Also, does she really understand the concept of branding? Brands gain popularity because they represent something to people - McDonald's represents All-American family fare, Apple represents cool gadgets, Proctor and Gamble represents quality household items, Holiday Inn represents affordable comfort away from home, etc. What exactly does Paris stand for? She seems to represent a sort of self-indulgent plastic selfish bimbo culture, and the jury's still out as to whether this fascination with Hollywood trainwrecks is going to withstand the test of time.

I think for a while after that skeevy sex video came out people really felt sorry for her and wanted to give her a chance to clear her name but she's totally squandered all that goodwill with all the mindless partying and red-carpet posing. And now with all her tantrums and attempts to use her money to thwart the justice system, I think people are looking at her as something of a freak the way we follow Michael Jackson's every move because he's just so outside the norm. This may be a money maker, but it isn't exactly a 'brand'. The lack of respect is going to destroy her self-esteem . . . I don't think any amount of money or attention ever makes up for feeling like people are laughing at you.

And her parents have their own issues, so it's kind of sad to see her making these bad choices . . . it seems like Hollywood is kind of a vicious place where people will use you if $ can be made. If she doesn't get a driver, I wouldn't be surprised to see her back in jail for more dui's in the future . . .

64. Paris Hilton is a clever self promoter and marketer. Lol this is funny that she is getting paid big bucks like Donald Trump. But it is true how she has marketed herself. Paris Rocks. Take that haters!

65. "How Build Your Brand" by Paris Hilton

1. Make a sex tape and distribute it on the internet.
2. Market oneself as the ultimate party girl.
3. Drive under the influence of alcohol and violate provisions for a suspended license.
4. Act dumb and get incarcerated for 23 days.
5. Believe there are dumb idiots who will hire a high school drop out to speak on seminars and most importantly, that there are dumber idiots who will pay a significant fee to listen to crap.

68. If you have a DVR that is set to tape any show you normally watch, and she is set to appear on it, make sure you stop the recording of that particular show that night, because the networks can tell what we watch in that way. Also e-mail the heck out of Larry King and CNN. Especially tonight, don't watch, because that damn Harvey Levin, parasite's lawyer and a sheriff are set to be on the show without Larry. Larry does parasite Wednesday. I hate harvey levin for always kissing the Hilton ass. He's on the payroll. All of this is a big PR stunt to make (fool) us into liking the Hilton name again.

69. does anyone have any opinions on immigration? what do you think paris would say if they asked her to do a lecture?

70. I am forecasting a Paris Hilton brand designer line of snazzy jumpsuit apparel. Paris is a fashion trend setter and with all the talk about her strutting her stuff in an orange jail jumpsuit, I would not be surprised if she parlays her jail wardrobe into a trendy new fashion. But then stylish jumpsuit apparel would not really be something new. Who can forget ABBA and Agnetha and Frida's dazzling designer jumpsuits? Mamma Mia!

71. Maybe going to jail is the ultimate publicity stunt.
Do you prefer Paris?

72. Please, please everyone in this forum. Do you really believe everything you read? she has not made money on her perfume. Not even J.Lo has. The only one that made money was Elizabeth Taylor with her Passion and Diamonds perfume.
She does not make millions a year please.! She is just a fabrication of her publicity agents.

74. I don't believe any of this. She is the last person to be on that panel. This is BS.

75. well instead of a lecture at the learning annex
and instead of doing a show with Larry King,

i just realized that the best place she could have expressed her new opinions about herself would have been on the E enternainment news show. because they care. they would have been best suited for "the interview with P.H."

that would have been the best outlook or medium or whatever you wanna call it.
