| I don't wanna knock Paris Hilton and I have | | | | and media spotlight. The Media never met a |
| nothing against her but why is so she famous? | | | | celebrity it didn't like! And she certainly |
| Is it because of her looks? Her talent? | | | | knows how to keep the guys attention doesn't |
| Because she's rich? Because she's sexy? | | | | she, fellas?But the real reason Paris is so |
| Brilliant?If it's her looks, is she better | | | | famous is.....You guessed it.....Us! We the |
| looking than a host of other female beauties | | | | public never met a celebrity we didn't like |
| like Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, Gwen Stafanie, | | | | either! For all of Paris' sexiness, beauty, |
| Angelina Jollie, etc., etc.?If it's her | | | | "talent" and wealth, if we the public, |
| talent, what talent? Can she really act, | | | | weren't so fascinated with the rich and |
| sing, dance, produce or direct?Is she | | | | famous would we even know who her name?Some |
| brilliant?Someone may say it's because she's | | | | of us live vicariously through the lives of |
| sexy, but is she more sexy than Pamela | | | | the rich and famous, wishing that we could |
| Anderson, Jenna Jamison, Selma Hayek, Nicole | | | | live the lives they live and do the things |
| kidman, Christina Ricci, Halle Berry, or a | | | | they do. Some of us fantasize about being |
| slew of other attractive female celebrities | | | | involved with them! Some of us love them, |
| who don't receive nearly the attention she | | | | some of us hate them, but they're the center |
| does?Is it because she's rich? Now we can all | | | | of our attention! These factors are all part |
| agree that she damn sure is rich! That's the | | | | of the reason for Paris Hilton's celebrity |
| thing that initially got her the media | | | | and why she so famous.But isn't it a sad |
| spotlight.But there's another factor we're | | | | commentary on us and our culture that someone |
| overlooking in our quest for the answer to | | | | can become a media star and a pop culture |
| why she so famous: her infamous sex tape! | | | | icon just because they're rich? Not because |
| That tape really helped put her on the media | | | | of the kind of person they are, or what |
| map didn't it? A timely sex tape can really | | | | they've done for society, but just because |
| grab the public's attention and light up | | | | they're rich?El-Veasey holds PhDs in Social |
| one's career just ask Pamela Anderson, Rob | | | | Commentary, Human Motivation, Relationships |
| Lowe etc.One talent Paris Hilton does seem to | | | | and Political Bickering From the University |
| have is the ability to work the media and | | | | Of Hard Knocks, Ghetto Town, USA. |
| keep her image in the center of the public | | | | |
