Ho..Humm..Not much to report....A friend emailed me the other day and commented that I would get stuck for ideas to blog....I did not pay much attention to that, but now I'm in a blog slump. What interesting things happened to me today? Nothing really. A day lost to meaningless stuff.
So who should I pick on in this daily entry? Who else but Paris Hilton.
She does not hold a candle to Anna Nicole, but after reading a expose in Vanity Fair magazine I learned quite a bit about Americas most spoiled girl. The story really puts the Nikon lens on her stuck up Mom Kathy Hilton who will do just about anything to get the photo-op. From the moment Kathy's kids were infants she stuck them in the spotlight. Paris's Mom never got her break in modeling that she expected, but she did hit the bank by marrying Rick Hilton who has never had anything to do with the Hilton Hotel empire. Yes he is a Hilton and feeds off the money train, but in reality Rick is a Realtor in Beverly Hills.
Rick was the 6th child born to Barron Hilton. In 1981 they had Paris and nick-named her "Star" from the moment she was hatched. Her Mom would pair her with celebs showing up at parties in New York & L.A so she would be incorporated in the publicity mix...but it was the release of the sex tapes when her career really took off into the stratosphere. From that moment on she was getting paid 50k to 100k just to show up at club openings or to keep a nightclub warm (industry term).....Then endorsements came with make up-perfume-reality TV show etc etc. Now Mom is in the chips with her own show up & wave business getting a measly 5k for an appearance.....plus a skin care endorsement deal that was just signed. They need the dough...Rick Hilton only gets 400k a year from the family trust, this might change since Blackstone group just made an offer for Hilton worldwide for 26 billion bucks and he will get his share of that apple pie. Through the years they never had the private jet or big yacht, this family hitched rides with families richer than them and were perceived as being in that league. It has been a big dog & pony show with this family. Paris has been the bread winner...or should I say BED winner!
Lindsay Lohan's story is part of this big feature in the mag, but boring in comparison to the Hilton scams. I feel this has been a cop out since nothing happened that was at all interesting in my day but I hope you enjoyed learning about a girl who has really done absolutely nothing for mankind. Friday I will start my day at Stumptown Roasters because I have become an anti Starbucks customer. I want to read my paper in a coffee shop that at least smells like one.
I like Fridays...because the new movies get released & I usually will catch one with my honey. The Business Journal arrives on Friday & I enjoy seeing who's suing who in town & for what....I also enjoy all the lies in that rag. All these business guys & gals lie through their teeth in the feature stories. I get a kick out of that. Friday is my favorite day of the week.......Phil Stanford has his column that is the best thing in print and coffee tastes better on Friday mornings. I just hope when I'm sitting there nobody disturbs me,....other than a guy named "Pops" who hangs out at a downtown coffee haunt. Pops looks like a street bum in appearance but is really loaded. He lives downtown in an apartment and walks around the city and smokes expensive cigars. He was a depression kid and has great stories. A few days ago "Pops" told me that Prince Harry & the good looking one are uncircumcised! Pops can get away with that stuff....Good source for a future blog......later.
