Precisely because they are good at nothing

It is because of the inflated self- sexual image that they have and is fed well by the fans...\nparticularly if both parties are celebrities, nobody in the world can bring them down to earth !!

Paris Hilton...she is dumb as a fence post and a lot less useful.

Curves! I do NOT find paris hilton or nicole richie attractive at all. When a woman have curves in the right places, she is gorgeous!

Because they are always in the spotlight and people pay attention to what they say and do. Same thing with celebrities.\n\nI agree with you. It isn't fair. Celebrities get too much attention.

They are getting paid what they are worth, as per the market. If nobody goes to see their movies, they won't make as much for future pictures or if their pay is linked in part to the box office receipts. If there is a celebrity you don't like, don't enrich them by seeing their movies. \n \n\nIn addition to thier regular careers, people are so starstruck with them, many seem to be interested in any and everything they do. This earns them even more money in terms of product placement deals etc. I don't understand the fascination with these people, but it sure is very alive.

Ever since they hit super-stardom they receive many endorsements and I heard they started filming for a reality-tv series. They also have allowed their egos to swell and I've heard that they practice very little now days. However, you can't really say that they've given up, Since Serena won the 05 Australian Open and Venus won 05 Wimbeldon. No one can win either of those tournaments without putting worth maximum effort.

Some people may have talent, but that does not help with personal problems or arrogance.\n\nSome rock stars kill themselves, even if by accident.  Some do not, but get away with some might crazy things.

I really dislike Paris Hilton. She is a spoiled brat. She has no talent what-so-ever except for talking crap about other people! She seems so full of herself. The only reason she is famous is because she was born into money. She will do anything for publicity (like making a sex tape). She's so gross - she actually peed in a cab once! Now she is making a CD but she can't sing. She is in movies but she can't act. All she does is spend her money on clothes and accessories. She is so skanky. She has a new boyfriend every week and she only dates rich guys as if she doesn't have enough money as it is!

Paris Hilton because she doesnt even know it.

Jessica Simpson used to be sweet and cool but now she thinks she's all that.  Now she's a rich b*tch.  Her music is ok.\n\nParis Hilton is rich and thinks she's all that, too.  Her new song, Stars are Blind is actually not bad.\n\nSo they're similar.  I can credit them as both being attractive.

Because on some level, it makes them seem less than perfect. Some people tend to promote celebs to a demigod status but knowing that they live their lives the same way as the "common" man makes it more bearable to cope with the fact that they have more money and notoriety than most average people will ever experience. Knowing that Linsday Lohan has an eating disorder and Paris Hilton is a total hoe kind of makes all the people out there that worship celebs see that they are fallible just like everyone else. Just because they can buy the most expensive houses, cars, and clothes doesn't mean that they can buy love, happiness, and peace of mind.

No she is just a spoiled rich kid, and if it wasn't for her being a Hilton she wouldn't even be popular.

That is a very good question.  I don't personally care what she is doing.  As a matter of fact, I don't really know what any celebrity is doing.  But doesn't it say a lot about American Society today that most everyone does care more what Paris Hilton is doing rather than what is happening in the world?

They are both actors.  Since they are actors, don't expect that very much of what you "Know" about them is anything other than efforts to increase, or tear down their public image.  I suppose that a big part of their popularity is their good looks.  I think that all women are attractive, sexy even, each in their own way!

I guess they wont say they are celebrities because they will have a hard time convincing people they are actually celebrities or they are probably tired of listening to the same old questions everybody asks them.\n\nI can bet that the less you pay attention to a celebrity, the more interesting you will apear to them.
