Dammit Mark for already using "Simpler time" for Paris. I was just going to use the phrase linking back to the lighter, funnier times with Paris and Defamer -

The Paris Shopping Series in a couple of posts.

This 2004 warning about what a crazy driver she was a from...

I mean, when this article was posted in May 2004 we thought LiLo and Paris still be friends and that the party would go on forever!

Damnit Mark for using the "heiress" mention, while Paris doesn't have such a big trust fund by birth.

Grandaddy Hilton has a one billion dollar wealth but most of it will be legated to a foundation. He also have a large family of eight children and many cousins. Among the children, Poppa Hilton has himself five kids, which means Paris or Nicky wouldn't receive, after the two successive deaths of their parents more than six or seven million dollars. Which is more than enough but not the stupendous sums of money people would link to her.

Paris has actually parlayed her only true asset, her name, into a carreer. She has acted as a big time heiress (mostly by renting luxury items) and has made herself as notorious as possible, which in turn has brought her TV and movie deals and something like a $200,000 rate for appearing at a party. She almost succeeded in marrying a real heir, the Greek guy.

She might be a self-centered moron but I must acknowledge she was clever enough to make the most of her limited abilities.

Which makes her poorer than Lindsay Lohan.
