Our National Paris ObsessionPosted by Billy Bush June 08 at 04:26 PM | Comments (11)Comments
I like your post, on how America is obsessed over Paris Hilton. There is more going on around the world and people just want to see a well known person behind bars. The funny thing is her image is nothing....she has no image, she's done no charity work. If you look at Ms. Jolie and her charity work using her image to give back is great. On the other hand Paris is not doing anything except partying with friends getting drunk and not giving a damn about other people but watching her own image, seeing herself going in and out of clubs, what a reputation! Paris's unknown mental health is of no concern..... There are well trained doctors in prisons to help the schizo's. If you let one person out because of that symptom then that means everyone in jail has the same problem. So who cares about her mental state, they have counselors.... If I was put in jail then I would have the same problem as she has but later you become adjusted, in time she'll be alright... After her imprisonment I doubt she'll do any charity work, I can probably say she's going to party up after her release. PARIS OUT OF JAIL PARTY!!!
Poor little rich girl.I have no pity for her.If it was me,I'd probably be in there for a longer sentence.Rich and famous people are not above the law,but they think so.Money can buy you things, but when it comes to the law, no one should be exempt.Good luck in jail Paris!!!

Isn't it interesting that we've never heard that Paris has a severe medical problem before this. Perhaps she is just an addict. Posted by: Janice | June 9, 2007 08:21 AM
I'm a regular viewer of AH but this is the first time I've read your blog. I can honestly say I'm thrilled that you are as troubled by the constant Paris coverage as I am. I don't know - I guess I always assumed that because of the nature of your show, you would be as enamored of Paris as the rest of the media world believes the average American to be. I was wrong.

Paris is not being treated like everybody else, not because she's getting preferential treatment but because she's being more punished than everyone else. I heard so many comments yesterday that if she were someone else like a coal miner's daughter or a black person, she wouldn't have been let out after just three days. These people did not even look into the Los Angeles county jail system on how things really are. Everyone else in Los Angeles with the same situation gets out of jail in two to three days. It's too bad that people are so quick to judgement without seeing the whole picture. Just because they hate her doesn't mean that what's happening to her is fair. Even though people can't stand her parents for how she was reared,I saw the love and closeness in that family yesterday on TV, which many families don't even have or parents that don't show any love or affection for their children. People are angry and jealous with the rich especially because Paris lives a lifestyle that none of us approves, but again, look at the picture before making a judgment that she belongs in jail for more than three days.

Paris is withdrawing from cocaine and other narcotics...everyone knows this..that is her medical issue. The obsession is born out of frustration because there are so many other news worthy pieces, and people. The average person, being frustrated with seeing her everywhere for no good reason, is forced to garner a strong opinion about her. Imagine what our conversations would be if the casualties, and cost, of this war were covered as much. Or the fact that we seem to have forgotten that Osama Bin Laden- not Iraq- was behind the terror on 9/11. What would this countries conversations be like? Just like you, Billy, I tune in to Access Hollywood for fun, but CNN, and the likes, should stick to their day jobs. On that note..the tabloid media is what's feeding this "Paris" and "young hollywood" sensation. If the same people stopped getting the coverage that they do- across the board- then we might start seeing real celebrities again. Posted by: alicia | June 10, 2007 11:57 AM
The news justs get more sickening every day about Paris Hilton. Her Dad shopping for a get out of jail party is proof that her parents are responsible for her behavior and what sad behavior that is. Jamie Lee Curtis hit it on the nose with her comments. I totally agree with her. You don't encourage your children to go back to the ways that got them in trouble in the first place. Rick and Kathy Hilton need to start acting like responsible parents, THEN maybe Paris will straighten up. Posted by: Concerned Mom | June 13, 2007 10:37 AM
It sounds really inetresting on how one personality can attract the attention of many people. Paris hilton has done it very well,be it in jail or even out. I know the sherriffs will miss her big tyme.The issue of Paris in a way reflects what is happening anywhere else. Position and status in the community,this plays a role and indeed a bigger one in how one gets treated. It was news all over when she was released from Jail before her time elapsed! Actually that was not fair but there were reasons too. Ok..Allow me turn your attention. I have a story,and this is my story. I have a success dream and that I am reaching out to the celebrities and the weathy billionares,I would like to establish myself and persue higher learning and become an entreprenuer.By this I know I will be of great help to my community/country by providing jobs and becoming very productive. Anyone that can link me to the Billionares so that I can sell my idea to them will have done me a great favour! All I need is just One Million Dollars and I will be set to go...I am very optimistic and hopeful that it will come tru!
Thanks for a bit of sanity in a world revolving around celebrity insanity. I am so sick to death about hearing about Paris Hilton (and every other celebrity for that matter) acting like a lunatic and just getting more press for it. Things have really gone downhill in the celebrity world. Paris Hilton should have lunch with Tom Cruise where he can explain how becoming more active and taking certain vitamins can cure her of everything. Posted by: Samoa | July 3, 2007 05:27 PM

I would like to know when I can get the song "three wishes" off of itunes as promised in february. I really want this song for my son's wedding. I have been trying everywhere on line to find out how to listen to the entire song. I thought it was going to be on itunes for charity i.e. lollipop theatre. |
