Kim Kardashian Has Eclipsed The Tabloid Fame of Paris Hilton
By Robert Paul Reyes
"There's so many people out there who try to imitate what I do but I am the original."
- Paris Hilton
Paris may be the original, but many other bimbos have copied her template for success. An aspiring starlet doesn't need to be intelligent or talented to follow the Hilton way to fame and wealth. Release a home-made sex tape, release a pop- dance oriented single so heavily produced and auto-tuned that it covers the woeful vocals, star in a dreadful B-movie and a moronic reality show (oxymoron?), tweet pearls of wisdom like "OMG my poop really doesn't stink", start a feud with another celeb, ditch your underwear, drink Drano to loosen your morals and lower your IQ, break the law and hope to God you will be arrested (it will do wonders for your tabloid cred), and dress scandalously to attract the paparazzi.
Kim Kardashian faithfully followed in the footsteps of the jaded socialite; all that's missing is the tiny pooch as a fashion accessory.
Even Snooki has eclipsed the celebrity of Paris Hilton. Why have Kim Kardashian and Snooki become greater stars than Hilton? Could it be because the butt-challenged Hilton can't compare with the "baby got back" Snooki and Kim?
Ladies let your freak flag fly high with pride and good luck walking down the dubious road to celebrity immortality.
