Pearls of Wisdom from Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton

Miz Hilton recently participated in Esquire’s “What I’ve Learned” feature. You can read the full thing here, but I’ve included all the best parts below:

There are definitely a lot of misconceptions about me out there. “Oh, she doesn’t work. She doesn’t do anything. She just gets money from her family.” That’s not true at all. I was up making phone calls at seven in the morning, and I’ll be working until 1:00 A.M.

I was the oldest granddaughter. Everyone was so excited that I was born, they would always take pictures of me. My grandma would call me Marilyn Monroe or Grace Kelly. Ever since I was little, it’s what I knew I wanted to do–be a blond icon.

I put pheromones in a lot of my fragrances, and that attracts people to you. My new fragrance is called Fairy Dust. I’m dressed kind of like Tinkerbell.

I don’t know why everyone wants to be famous. To make a living, I guess. Maybe they think it’s an easy job.

Once I’ve worn a dress, I can never wear it again. I give them to charities and they auction them off to help people with breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, and AIDS. Some that are really, really special, I keep in storage for my daughters. They’ll be vintage by then. I think my daughters will love them.

I don’t think it’s fair for a child to come into the world and have to be photographed. They didn’t really choose that life.

Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party, because then you don’t need to go out.

Will Ferrell movies make me laugh. My sister makes me laugh. Nicole Richie is hilarious.

I always send thank-you notes. If somebody has done something really special for me, I’ll make them a collage of pictures or a little piece of art.

I’m not jealous. I don’t understand why people are jealous. You have so much better karma in life when you wish other people the best.

Because of my last name and the way I look, some people think I’m a spoiled brat. But I’m not like that at all. I’m one of the most down-to-earth people I know out of anyone in Hollywood.

Things may seem to naturally come my way. But I work hard for them, too. I have good karma.

You may not be able to be hot when you’re seventy-five in a conventional sense. Like, young people won’t think you’re hot. But your husband will, and so will people your own age.

Oh, Paris. You’re truly a spiritual guide for us all.

    “I’m one of the most down-to-earth people I know out of anyone in Hollywood.”

    I love when people say shit like this!

    • If I could wear something once and then be able to put it in an auction that raises a lot of money for a charity, I’d wear just about everything once.

      That being said, if I wore something only once just for the sake of not wanting to show myself twice in the same outfit, that would be far too vain.

  • I just realized that something bugs me: when people say it’s not fair for children who are born to celebrities…that they did not choose to be photographed, etc.

    You know what’s really not fair? Children born into poverty, broken homes, disabilities…THAT’S a little more unfortunate in my opinion…

  • Just for fun, I decided to read this entire article out loud in an obnoxious, clueless, valley girl voice. (The first time reading it over, might I add.) AND I COULDN’T EVEN GET THROUGH IT! She is so funny! And by that, I mean in the damn-that-girl-has-to-have-an-IQ-in-the-freaking-negatives-or-something sense. Why do people listen to this woman? What useful advice could she possibly give us? Why God!?! Why!?!?!??!

    • Because when she does things like this she’s staying somewhat relavent.
      People are going to be fired up about this article and they’ll be sharing it with others -> Paris Hilton not leaving the spotlight.

      That article about a month back that talked about Angeline Jolie’s carefully constructed media manipulation might as well have been written about Paris Hilton. I refuse to believe that a girl that comes from such a succesful family could be that stupid. Paris Hilton knows exactly what she’s doing.

      Sorry for the rant-ish thing. :|

      • I think she just has an amazing publicist, because that girl is ridiculous! She reminds me of the bleach blond girls at my school that think it is sexy to wear Uggs, spandex skirts, spandex tank tops, and clearly visible thongs (which I believe defeats the purpose of thongs) when there is TWO FEET OF SNOW OUTSIDE. In other words, lacking common sense.

  • i have seen the statement about her dresses being donated and given to her daughters before. she acts as though it is such a novel concept. im sure its common for people like paris and jennifer lopez to not wear clothes more than once – they would be ripped apart for it!

    i think shes funny in an airheaded and completely self-absorbed way.

  • Awesome. Reading that made me feel so much better about myself – like, next time I stay home and lie on the couch drinking a cask of wine I’ll think to myself Paris doesn’t always go out either. Sometimes she just parties at home too. Maybe I can be a blonde icon too.

  • If there is one celebrity who’s hollywood “image” is an exact representation of who they are, it is Paris Hilton.

  • Wait a second…I thought there wouldn’t be anymore Paris crap on this blog. Stop giving her any attention and maybe she will fade away.

      • “Because of my last name and the way I look, some people think I’m a spoiled brat.”

        In anticipation of the day there will be a full Paris-ban on this site and everywhere else.

  • actually, she does sound smart here- i just erased everything stupid she said (which wasn’t much) and it sounds like stuff… angelina jolie or someone might say. lol

    After reading an interview my favorite magazine had with her, I think she’s kind of GENIUS, actually. Who else do you know gets paid for being a blonde party girl?? And Why do you guys hate her?!?!! It’s not like she’s a terrorist… never killed anyone… she’s not a BAD person, It’s clearly an act to some extent. Go find someone else LEGITIMATELY BAD to hate :(

    • Did we read the same article?

      I feel like you threw Jolie out as bait. I will only say that I think they could not be more different from each other. Honestly.

      Paris has done bad things though. Hello, dui? Drug use? Sex tape? Whoring around? I don’t see why I should look up to her, or respect her at all. That is at least why I cannot stand her. She is famous for being a bratty party girl. She just seems to stand for everything that is gross about our country.

      Ugh vomit.

      • Angelina Jolie kissed her own brother

        i think its worse shes done that
        than paris making a sex tape / whoring around coz atleast shes not kissing her own brother ;)

        so yeah angelina
        pretty sick thing she did ;)

      • yeah man. showing affection to your family members is so weird. you’re totally right. you are sound like they f*cked on the red carpet.

    • I don’t think I would call her a genius but she definitely is unfairly judged based on the fact that she is Paris Hilton. Similar things have been said by plenty of celebrities but most of them won’t get such harsh criticism.

  • beet just said no more daily paris. DUH. its not like anyone could possibly run a gossip blog and not have paris hilton on it. your not a true celebrity blog lover if you didnt enjoy this. thats for sure.

  • The comments about this article are far better than the article itself. It’s the dumb blonde meets the smart, witty people…

  • Do you think she hurt herself when she used the word “pheromone” and “conventional” all in the same interview?

  • I really like Paris. She actually used the word “pheromone”- how many annoying bratty bimbos in hollywood do that?? She’s a lot cooler than people give her credit for.

    And now I kind of want to smell the back of her for “Tinkerbell pheromones.”

  • Oh Paris, whatever happened to all that community service and charity work you wanted to do back in your post-jail days? Your so-called speaking about charities and important matters at nightclubs does not count. Giving used clothes to people to auction off is charity, but I’m not going to count it in your favor because that’s delegating the work onto others. Anyone can give away stuff.

  • I now feel slightly suicidal.
    Its the 21st century.. HOW are people like Paris still alive?!
    I don’t understand why they havent become extinct through like.. evolution and survival of the fittest.
    PLEASE let her grow old and die without passing on her genes!

  • my god this is priceless! and by priceless i mean this is the shittiest thing ive heard in a long time. i mean, have u not been takin ur meds for long, hon?

  • Is it charity if the clothes you are giving away, were given to you for free in the first place? ‘Cause I’m thinking…no.

  • I am offended by her calling herself a blonde icon like MM or Grace Kelly. At least those icons had some reason for being famous, they worked to get where they were, it was not just inherited. Sheesh.

  • lol
    i love how shes like

    ” ill give my dresses to my daughters theyll be vintage by then ”

    for a start
    it helps to have kids
    secondly
    whos to say shell have daughters ;) unless she just keeps trying till she has a girl

    and thirdly

    i doubt her kids would care about there clothes paris will probaly be all like

    “honey mummy loves you but im gonna need to get you a nose job “

    • if there was a good, she would be infertile. but she already had an abortion, so I guess not. maybe one of her STDs will do the trick

  • dude, you guys are harsh. that article was chicken soup for my soul! yes, she’s a dipshit, but a likeable one.

  • also, answering phones for WHAT?

    Like, her own cell phone?
    Like, “Where’s the party at?”

    Is that really a job? You can get paid for that? Cuz if she gets to go out having fun just “answering calls” and be filthy rich, then I want to do that too.
