Everyone in the media business
should be feeling totally used upon reading this bit on just how well Paris
Hilton is doing with her various business ventures. This is the famously multi untalented celebrity
who seemed to revel in the attentions of the paparazzi. It worked!
She is still going to be as rich as Midas and it will even be self made.
We are in an age of over the top publicity
hunting because it bloody well pays. Unfortunately,
none of it has anything to do with real talent although that sometimes is
helpful. It at least allows you to back
up your bluff.
I am old fashioned enough to
think respect for talent must first come from peers but that is a suspect
proposition if one’s peers are untalented self promoters. Yet the past half century has seen the whole English
native speaking world fully emerge with the fullest release of outright talent
possible. We still could do vastly
better but compared to the past this emergence is an order of magnitude even if
obscured perhaps in the noise. But that
is always so.
The rest of the globe is following
the same path and the greatest blossoming ever is underway. Be grateful and remember to develop fine
taste in all things unless you wish to let Paris Hilton make those decisions for
you.
The socialite has launched a number of different product lines
including fragrances, accessories, shoes and bed linen, and she has also opened
35 stores to sell her goods.
Hilton has now revealed just how lucrative her business is, admitting
her projects have earned her millions of dollars.
She tells FHM magazine, "I'm involved in my products every step of
the way. My fragrances are doing really well at the moment.
"They've produced more than $1.3 billion in revenue since 2005. I
have 35 stores and 17 product lines and then there's my racing team, my 14
fragrances..."
Hilton is now concentrating on launching a new project called the Paris
Hilton Beach Club chain, which will include bars, gyms and nightclubs.
She adds, "The first one is opening in the Philippines
