Would You Pay Paris $1 Million to Teach?

Whether she's doing it by accident or it's all part of some carefully calculated master plan I have no idea, but whatever Paris is doing it's working! She really has built herself an empire, and (gasp) now has the opportunity to teach others how she did it. The Learning Annex has reportedly offered Paris $1 million dollars to teach a 1 hour class called "How to Build Your Brand." That much money puts her behind only Donald Trump ($1.5 mil) in the company's history of paid guest teachers.

I guess here is where 'by accident' or 'carefully calculated' really becomes important -- can you tell us how and why you do what you do, Paris? I'll grab my notebook.

Hopefully Paris has learned what most people know: you break a law - you pay - money can't pay for every thing - common sense isn't very common - you don't appriciate what you have until it's taken away- the clothes do no make the woman -people with many, many advantages should help others - over time it is more fulfilling to give then receive. Physical beauty is wonderful but fleeting, inside beauty is more satisfying to everyone and it gets better with age. Use your celebrity status and money to fight for people needing food, health care, and better educational opportunities and you will be remembered as really prospering from your fortunate life; not in spite of it ! (look up Karma)

Paris has definitely branded herself. I don't think her style would work for us guys though. She has made some of the best "dumb" decisions and taken cute and stupid farther than anyone before her.
I really do think she has some great spin pros working for her or she is one heck of a media manipulator herself. Paris--That's hot!

It would be nice if Paris had learned her lesson.My own experience is that it takes more than one brush with the law to learn.People with money have a lot more difficulty with acceptance.The more money someone has the harder itis to hit bottom and the easier it is to stay in denial.The party circuit she's been on for too long says drug and alcohol abuse/addiction.She needs a miracle.

rather see paris even if she is dumb, make believe or not. who wants to see trump with his road-kill squirrel hair on top of his head anyway.

The most talented thing I've seen Paris do was the Carl's Junior commercial.That was also the best carwash since coolhand Luke.

Can't argue with facts, Hilton started modeling at age 16. She was sought after all over the world. Spain, Germany, USA, India and Japan clamored for her to model high fashion. Runway modeling is not easy. Family money means nothing. Daddy couldn't help her walk. Paris was super successful.
She marketed her own perfume, designed a clothing line, wrote two books. Paris loves animals and has a successful line of Pet Clothes! Including bikinis.
She made two movies and her TV sitcom is in its fifth year. Hilton was nominated for an Emmy. She has been signed to do TV and print advertising. Plus the music videos she has made have sold like hotcakes.
In the sitcom, Simple Life, Paris was often heard saying, 'That's Hot.' She copyrighted 'her' words. Designed a line of pocketbooks, bags, jewlery, t-shirts and assessorries. Many were blazoned with 'That's Hot' and every single item is a great success. She started the 'headband' trend. Headbands and scarves another Paris venture has earned mega bucks.
Hilton wrote some songs, recorded a CD and two of her songs went right to the top.
Her earning have steadily climbed last year was approx. 8 million and the year before was 7 million+.
Sources indicate she has surpassed those amounts already as of June 2007.
So all you guys knocking her business sense and rah rahing about 'Daddy ' taking care of her, that is BS. Her modeling is what got her started. Her looks, her walk, her ability to float down a runway is what made her a great model who was earning millions and working everyday. No one could 'help' her or 'buy that success', she did it on her own.
I bwt that chaps your butt to realize just how successful she is todday...and at age 16 she was earning over a million!
About the infamous sex tape. A young Paris was dating and 'in love.' She was with this guy for two years. The tape was made between two people in a long term relationship, who thought they were in love. The tape was not an issue until later. They broke up and moved on. Their lovemaking session was forgotten and remained a private thing between two lovers. Then boyfriend saw an opportunity to earn some dollars and he released their private tape.
When she is bashed for making this sex tape, some of the people act like she made the tape in a porn studio for publishing. And that is incorrect. Her lousy ex- made it public. And Paris made the best of it.....said nothing, which turned out to be best. And she never skipped a beat or raised her voice.
Hilton loves going out dancing with friends. She is very sociable. But Paris has never puked on the sidewalk, passed out in the club or in a friends car. She is consistently polite and smiling. Paris is even nice to the photog who hound her day and night.
Bottom line is she is a damn good business person.
'MS. Hilton! You must be worth a gazillion bucks!'
And to top that she is polite,

Ann,

Are you Paris' PR Girl or Paris herself. I want to know. If not you may have a problem I believe they refer to it as being a stalker. That is more of a dissertation than a comment methinks you know too much. P.S. If you are Paris call me we'll do lunch--if my wife doesn't kill me first.

Thanks,
Doobie

James Jul 6th 2007 5:44AM

dan Jul 6th 2007 3:45AM

nettacbme Jul 6th 2007 3:53AM

Maybe she's gonna teach everybody how to be a whore. That is all she knows after all...

dan Jul 6th 2007 3:52AM

dan Jul 6th 2007 3:56AM

this piece of shit is an oxygen waster.

CaliforniaKid Jul 6th 2007 4:29AM

One Million Dollars for Paris Hilton, for one hour, to Talk Out Her Ass on a subject she doesn't know a Damn thing about. Maybe she'll teach the hearing impared. Don't let anyone fool you... It's Rough all over. If you don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see, you might make it through life without much trouble.

Why in the world would anyone want to be like that skinny broad. She's not even pretty and I can't imagine anyone listening to her. You respect someone before you believe what they say.

Valerie Jul 6th 2007 7:14AM

The person to ask this question of isn't Paris; it's Paris' handlers, including eliot Mintz, her publicity guru. They have built Paris into a commodity and directed her persona. Paris herself has said her strategy was to play dumb and gain attention, thereby creating a need for her in certain venues. That is probably why she said recently that she doesn't want to "play dumb" anymore.

Valerie Jul 6th 2007 7:18AM

You know, Dot, it wouldn't hurt you sometime to reply to something seriously instead of writing stupid remarks off the top of your head! No, I'm no fan of Paris Hilton, but answer the question!

Shannon Jul 6th 2007 10:33AM

Ann, Yeah for you!!! You are amazing to know all those facts about Paris and to defend her. I agree totally with you. The people that are bashing her ARE more then likely jealous of her success and look for any reason to bash her. Good for you Ann!! Good for Paris. She is amazing and a very strong smart young women. She made one mistake and the world should not judge her by one bad decision made in her youth. I made a million of them when I was younger and still do today at 43!
