It's true. After watching MTV's "Paris, Not France" documentary via YouTube last night, I have a newfound love. Paris Hilton. I daresay if I knew her, she might be a good friend of mine.
This documentary sheds light on Paris Hilton the person, gaining insight into the career of a Celebrity: the constant invasion of privacy, an automated daily itinerary, constant travel, lack of sleep, paparazzi, shopping as a job description, brand management, crisis management, the fine line between business and personal, the impervious dating world, etc etc.
I had read previously that Paris was actually smart and very easily could have attended a prestigious university and apparently she looked at Brown, Georgetown, and Penn U but decided that she already knew what she wanted: to capitalize the entertainment industry.
I call her Hollywood's Venture Capitalist because she's taken her looks, the ditzy blond "Paris" persona and mixed it with intelligence--- so much so that she's fooled us all. Celebreality is a new business field, and Paris Hilton is the mongul of that industry. She's capitalized it to the max: profiting from personal appearances at parties or clubs and making reality shows like The Simple Life and My New Bff, all for being the manufactured persona of "Paris hehe."
The documentary beautifully conveys Paris Hilton as a caring, humble, classy, good-moraled individual who is a real person in the Celebreality Industry. From a business point of view, Paris Hilton is a genius. She's learned and I'll even go as far as saying, creating the field. Who else before her capitalized immensely on their "life"?
Do me a favor, watch the documentary. Tell me what you think. I definitely have a newfound respect for Paris Hilton, the businesswoman. "Paris, Not France" showed me Paris Hilton is actually, the shit.
