Do they really think they can turn off the Media Spotlight

Our two favorite heiress-cumburpers both claim that they want to avoid the media spotlight in a couple years, that the whole tabloid thing is so gauche, so passe (don't you love how French has all the cool words for wack-as-fuck, without cursing).

Well, these two are probably going to be grossly examined if NBC's new reality-expose show I WANT TO BE A HILTON lasts more than a few episodes. Premiereing tonight, we'l have to see just what it means to be spoiled rich, out of touch with what the bulk of the population deals with and

It's funny, back in the 1920s and 1930s, the movie industry (and Broadway) made tons of films that depicted the lives of America's artistocrats as people with foibles and relationship problems just like the rest of America, only they had fat bank accounts to help them in and out of scrapes that most of the audience found delightful, escapist and chucklesome.

However in the 21st century, being rich and acting like the rules don't apply (they never did, but at least it was kept in the backrooms and behind closed doors) with wanton sexual behavior and crass publicity hogging it seems gross. Sure we all love fucking and many of us have taped ourselves doing, so the sex isn't what is interesting. Somehow seeing Paris adequately swallowing cock in her video tape or acting like a complete slut for Carl's Jr. -- seen the ad? -- has tantalized and tainted our vision of what it means to be young with money.

Is Paris beautiful? Hard to say, we need to see her in the morning?

Is Nikki fun to be around? I don't think so, as we don't she her basely engaging everyone around her when a camera is on.

What about the Mom & Dad? How do they feel about the way they raised their children? Oh, I forgot they didn't raise their kids -- a slew of nannies and others did. Hmm... I guess we'll see if being a Hilton is about shit after tonight.
