There's something about Paris
Honestly... whats with this place? Every newscast I have tuned into the past week, every news page I have opened, everywhere and anywhere, there's Paris Hilton splashed across the pages, either in full made-up glory at some high profile red-carpet event or tear-stained inside the sheriff's car. Whats the big deal? If you are one of those people who dont live around the US (and I'd be amazed if it still didnt make your local papers), all you need to do is google it!. Surely there are bigger crimes, definitely more important things happening in the world, a lot more major occurences - congolomerates coming together, a homicide, hell, even a genocide. So, why's everyone hung up on Paris? Why is everyone soo hell-bent that she serve her sentence in the propriety blah blah. How does this affect anyone on a personal level? I would be enraged if I had been given a harsher sentence for the exact same crime - the people with that much give and take on this can be forgiven. But I bet that they form less than 0.05% of the whole uproar thats been on. Whats soo fascinating about the rich n famous? And why is it that if she so much as glances somewhere its news? And every channel or page that remotely has news has capatilized on this with tons of photographers lined up so they can splash one of the gazillion pics of Paris behind bars and sell it to the public that apparently has nothing better to do. Grow up, people.

"There's something about Paris". There .... that's one more hit for the Paris topic. Just like people are talking about her, there are people who are complaining that people are talking about her. It's just a wierd world.
Haha... Its a vicious circle, Ananth.. And i knew someone wud bring this up. :)
haha....reading the title i felt it was about the place paris. coming from you u cant blame me for thinking so for reasons u know , ille ;)
My take is that people are hell bent on bringing down a star and seeing them in real world ground situations. This is no different... no one can have the wealth and style of Paris or Britney.. so when these careless starlets have issues.. everyone is excited and wants to talk...
You could have easily landed up in the same sitation as Paris.. and yes, no one would talk about it.. but the stress would be the same... so watch out!
As long as there are people like you (and there are millions out there) who not only write about her, but also encourage people who dont know about her to google her -Paris will be a hit!!!!
Pramod -> True.. Absolutely true.. Yet, I couldnt resist it bcoz it is sooo appalling!
appalling / appealing ?
Anantha - Appalling definitely...
