We're going to have to put up with Paris Hilton stories in the news for the next 50-60 years

[bluestateguy]

Saddle up. It's likely to go on and on. It's hard for the media types to let go of the people they are fixated on. The only one I can think of is Claudine Longet, who just dropped off the face of the earth in the mid-1970's.

1. Oh, no.

:rofl:

[JVS]

2. I doubt that. One of the "I hate her so much it makes me shit blood" crew will probably shoot her..

before these stories go on that long :freak:

[aquart]

3. Oh, she won't make old bones.

Turning 40 will kill her.

[Fridays Child]

4. I think you may be overestimating the average American's attention span.

Just a wee bit. ;)

[Dhalgren]

5. Maybe she'll get Jesus and go into politics...

[Homer Wells]

8. Oh Boy!!!!

The next Tammy Fae Baker!!!!!

:rofl: :popcorn:

[Dhalgren]

10. I was thinking the next female W....

[AlCzervik]

6. i see her turning into her generations Zsa Zsa Gabor so i think in another

decade she'll be a non factor---or at least i hope so.

[UrbScotty]

7. Yes!!!

:sarcasm:

[pepperbear]

9. the American attention span has diminished....

exponetially since Claudine.

[Phredicles]

11. Wait'll she decides she should be governor of CA, then president.

:scared:

12. June 8, 2007- The Day America Officially Jumped The Shark.

I think Howard Stern said something like that a couple of days ago, but I can't think of anything else that sums up the previous days' coverage so perfectly.

[candice]

13. Nah, only the young ones are fodder. Thank god I don't have TV.

[Demobrat]

14. No freaking way

She's on 24/7 now because she's photogenic. Once the first wrinkles appear, any day now at the rate she parties, she's history.

15. Media helped kill Anna Nicole and Diana and who knows who else

They are so intrusive and would not want others to treat them the same way - they are over the top - this is horrible - the picture of lindsay sleeping in a car - anyone sleeping in a car would look like that - they are all tabloids now - just a bunch of 'old ladies with nothing of substance to talk about'

they kill people with their nastiness and from what I have seen on here today - an awful lot of people have become truly mean hearted or hard hearted - divide and conquer - the corporations have done that with the help of the media - it is all based on getting everyone mad everyone else and ignoring what is really going on - typical of addicts - the media is addicted to ruining people's lives

16. Recommended solution. It works for me.

17. Just IGNORE and demand real current affairs that pertain to your life. n/t

[mark414]

18. no...i'll kill her myself before that happens

[tomreedtoon]

19. NOT SO! Remember...uh...Whatzisname Jackson?

The guy with the red leather coat? He was finished as a creative artist long before his child-molester accusations; he crashed right after his so-called "Victory Tour."

In fact, there's a book called "Trapped: Michael Jackson and the Crossover Dream" by music critic Dave Marsh. It's kind of old, but you can find it on Amazon.com - top price is about $6 and the bottom price is real cheap for about 20 available copies.

In it, Marsh looks at Jackson's career up to the end of the Victory Tour, where he stopped making interesting music and became a bum and a walking joke. He points ou that, when the press make somebody into an instant hero, as they did Jackson, the second he starts declining they start arranging a funeral for the guy's popularity.

That is what we are seeing with Hilton. In a year she won't be much more than a Jeopardy question.

20. Not on DU if we liberally use the HIDE THREAD FEATURE

See ya!
