Paris Hilton Backlash Vol. 14: Is She or is She Not "Still Hot"?

iVillage has posed a question to its readers as to whether Paris Hilton is still hot. The very question itself suggests that the hotel heiress' presence in the mediascape is getting long in the tooth, that her Paris Hilton-ness, if you will, is nearing the end of its shelf life. Or to put in Wired magazine kind of terms, Paris is not "wired," she's not even just "tired," but she's definitely "expired." iVillage readers put in no uncertain terms, with one person posting: "No talent, no brains ... a spoiled, self-centered, little rich bitch!" Another writes, " Ridiculously wealthy white trash does exist." But not so fast. It's important to put things in perspective. One reader makes an interesting point about those who dump hate on Paris, writing "I think it is hilarious how she drives total losers nuts.....She doesn't have to do anything if she doesn't want. She's just having fun. Something the LOSERS should try and do." One of all of the above may be true. Or not. Remember kids, it's just entertainment.
