Paris: Paris Hilton
built 130 days ago
Still basking in the warmth of paparazzi camera flashes across the globe, Paris Hilton continued looking to further her acting career. She took on her biggest role at the time in Nine Lives, a straight-to-video supernatural thriller directed by newcomer Andrew Getty. Attempts at horror and comedy followed, with, respectively, House of Wax (whose publicity proudly offered the opportunity to "See Paris die!") and the straight-to-video National Lampoon's Pledge This! Luckily for Hilton, she could fall back on a successful, prefab pop album (2006's Paris) and further seasons of The Simple Life, despite her falling out with Richie. In 2007, Hilton geared up for what would no doubt be the most challenging project of her young life, as she was sentenced to a short jail stay for driving with a suspended license. The media, predictably, anticipated the event with the fervor of a Roman audience waiting for a Christian to be thrown to hungry lions.

The great-granddaughter of famed hotelier Conrad Hilton and co-heir to the Hilton fortune, socialite Paris Hilton stridently endeavored to make her own mark in the world – and for the most part, succeeded. Alongside her younger sister, Nicky, Paris Hilton became one of the first media-dubbed "celebutantes†– a term used to describe a growing trend of young, attractive party girl socialites-turned-models/actresses and quasi-celebs. Regardless, whether you loved her or hated her, one could not deny the impact Hilton had on media and pop culture. Rightly or wrongly, by making a lucrative career of doing essentially nothing, Hilton – and those who followed in her footsteps – truly helped re-define the word “celebrity†for the new millennium.

Paris was founded in 1396 by Paris Hilton, who was ... the city's first mayor, holding the missionary position for 12 years. The Eiffel Tower was commissioned by Hilton in 1399, and for over 200 years it was the world's largest phallic-shaped object. Hilton later gave the city to Jimbo Wales. Wales thought that Paris sucked, and promptly gave it to Mona Lisa. Lisa has been the mayor ever since. In 2007, Paris voted against the instauration of Royal power (Segolène Royal), that's why the city pretends still to be a democracy and not a monarchy.

If, like Paris Hilton, you happen to be inspired to adopt a certain breed of dog by what you see in a movie, be sure that breed is the right one for you, your household and your neighborhood. A Great Dane would do no better in a small apartment then a tiny Chihuahua would running free over acres of land where it could be attacked by wild animals or predatory birds. Barky dogs like Poms and Toy Poodles are as unlikely to be welcomed into quiet neighborhoods as Yorkshire Terriers are into households they don’t like having their shoes, furniture and linoleum floors chewed to bits.
