Well, Basil, this brings to mind the famous lawsuit brought by the writers of "He's So Fine" against George Harrison and his song "My Sweet Lord." George lost in that case, as I recall. I think UB40 has a definite case. I hope they sue her skinny little a** off!

Hedy Lamarr... now there's a lady who really wasn't dumb, no matter how many "dumb woman" roles she had to play in the movies.

Some of you probably know (or not) that she was the inventor of "spread spectrum" radio transmission, where the frequency of a transmission is continuously hopping to different frequencies, making it impossible to intercept and monitor without having the suitable spread-spectrum receiver. This method is still used today. She is credited with other ingenius inventions as well.

Hmmm, I wonder what great inventions Paris might be working on....?

Speaking of Dream Girls... Kim Novak was always at the top of my list. On a scale of 1 to 10... she's an 11 !!! Paris Who?

Kim is cool,
she was in Bell Book and Candle
at the height of her beauty.

But Heddy rocks...
smarter than most people by far,
and a sexy stunner.
If there was Mensa then,
she would have been up in the top percentage for sure.

She was also a full security clearance type during the war,
she was too smart to ignore, so they didn't.

Well she got you guys to write three pages of opinions about her I wonder who is manipulating whom....

Posted: **6 Sep 2006 4:44 pm**

One would think you guys are a little insecure- you always pick the easiest targets, and everyone starts firing away like Lucky Luciano in a bad '50's gangster movie... of course she is bad at it, but she gets rich making you guys come up with 100+ posts talking about it. Yeesh.

Yeah, if we all were really secure and intelligent like you two we wouldn't have posted here, like you two didn't.

Oh, wait, you did too... and it was just to tell us all how dumb and insecure we are.

Gosh, you're so superior.

Ooh. Does that mean we get to add her to our infamous Mug Shot Gallery of Stars?

Posted: **7 Sep 2006 9:12 am**

Personally, I could care less how good she sings, acts, or anything else. I just enjoy looking at her.

Having a good time with an absurdity,
does not mean one is insecure or mentally deficient.

It MAY mean we have too much time on our hands.

Or enjoy a wide ranging sense of humor.

Or just want an excuse to look at the oiled up bikini shot again.

Or all three

I see this as less about Paris Hilton and more as an indictment of an aspect of our culture.

Posted: **7 Sep 2006 10:42 am**

I fell in love with Ava Gardner as a 10 year old watching the movie "Venus". I didn't know why, but she grabbed my attention just the same...

Posted: **8 Sep 2006 7:40 am**

Most celebs. are famous for something. Paris is famous for being famous.

Posted: **8 Sep 2006 9:11 am**

Re. her drunk driving charge, she said she only had one Margarita and was really hungry, and "alcohol tastes, like, gross".

Posted: **8 Sep 2006 11:17 am**

I don't see any mention of dumb posters in my comment; people like Paris Hilton thrive on being talked about and manipulation is one of their key strategies. If that makes me "superior" in any way so be it but I don't feel that way and I don't care for ad hominem attacks either,,,[This message was edited by Peter Dollard on 09 September 2006 at 08:19 AM.]

Could Paris ever hold a candle to Greer...

Posted: **11 Sep 2006 9:27 am**

Some of us are under 40, you know.

Paris is the ultimate 21st century fox, if you ask me. Of all the old dead actresses you guys are showing, I'm only really familiar with Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was the very first "famous for being famous" celebrity? I read that she married a baseball player, had something to do sexually with the Kennedy's, and acted unmemorably in a few movies before dying some kind of tragic death. Oh ya, she stood over an air vent with a skirt on and showed her panties. That was her big moment. I don't know, boys.........ya can't knock Paris if you're gonna show us examples like Marilyn Monroe.

Posted: **11 Sep 2006 12:05 pm**

Marilyn's life was tragic. Paris Hilton's just seems pathetic.

Posted: **11 Sep 2006 3:18 pm**

I'm also surprised this thread has lasted this long.

What is with this morbid fascination with someone whose only real claim to fame is that she was born into big money?

splendid women I was too young to have met,

The ultimate 21st century woman.. yegads!!!

Is that what we are aspiring too?
