Paris Gets Back to Basics

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on June 26, 2007 5:37 PM


Paris Hilton is now a free woman, and she’s got the whole world in her hands.

So what does an heiress with money to spend do next?

Make more money, of course!

The Learning Annex has reportedly offered Paris a million bucks to teach a course on building your brand.

Perhaps no one knows more about that than Paris, who single-handedly made herself into household name for partying and putting her signature on products.

But now the freed jailbird is in the middle of some brand re-invention herself.

When she left Lynwood last night just after midnight, she wore no makeup and actually looked modest and somewhat unassuming!

Well, as unassuming as you can be in white high heels.

Still, Paris did tell Barbara Walters a few weeks ago that she’s “not that superficial girl” she once was.

She says she wants to do charitable work, and she’s been ordered to stay off the booze for 90 days.

She is also showing a sense of humor, sending Harvey Levin of TMZ.com a personalized sketch of her wearing the L.A. County Jail jumpsuit and looking bewildered.

“She seemed real last night,” Harvey said.

Now “Extra” can reveal the hours leading up to the Hilton homecoming.

Paris’ parents Rick and Kathy, along with Paris’ personal assistant, went on a mad scramble to get ready for the pampered princess’ return, stopping at Sprinkles cupcakes and hauling in flowers, balloons and even a massage table,

She was then whisked from jail and into her grandparents’ 13-bedroom mansion in Bel Air.

Wednesday night she’ll emerge for the first sit-down interview, only with Larry King.

And after all the hoopla surrounding her early release and accusations of “special treatment,” Harvey Levin said she’ll need some good PR.

“I think the way she handles the Larry King interview will determine Paris’ future,” Harvey told us.

I admit it. I used to be a Paris hater, but then, with more girls I’ve know or hung out with partying and getting wasted, I started to realize that people like Hilton, Lohan, and Richie (I feel sorry for Lionel) are all just spitting image of girls in today’s society; drunk, spoiled, and 24/7 partying.

OVERKILL! OVERKILL! OVERKILL!

Enough about Paris Hilton. She is just a spoiled rich kid who got off easy with a short jail sentence. People who are not rich would serve far more time than she did for the same crime and under much less desireable circumstance! There is no justice in this country, the rich get all the breaks and all the publicity!

How about reporting on more important things in this world rather than all the crap you report on. There are people starving, people struggling to make ends meet, and kids dying at the hands of gangs. Get a grip on reality! Paris should be banned from the media as a real punishment for her crime, not rewarded with all the media attention! Put all the money into helping people who really need it, not hiring reporters and photographers to chase rich people around and expose their secrets. Enough is enough! Get your priorities straight in this life.

A NEW REALITY TV SERIES FOR PARIS?

Richmond, Virginia, June 28, 2007-What do Paris Hilton and a forty nine year old African American woman from little old Richmond, VA have in common? The answer, a potential mega hit reality television series entitled “HiltonSuitesTM.” Estelle Sears Thomas penned the series script for Ms. Hilton while she was still detained at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA. United States postal records indicate that the package containing the script was received at the detention facility on June 22, 2007 at approximately 8:30am.

This series, which involves Paris and a team of architects, contractors, and interior designers, offers Paris the opportunity to “make a difference,” in the world by building and gifting her suites to lucky families across America. The series also allows Paris to continue in the tradition of the Hilton Dynasty by bringing luxurious lodging to the public. In this case the lodging would be free and permanent.

Andrew DanJumbo, designer and carpenter extraordinaire, of the HGTV hit series, “While You Were Out,” has been suggested as a possible co-star for the series.

Sears Thomas is a native of Norfolk, Virginia and has been employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Human Services as a regulatory agent
for over twenty years. In addition to writing for television she is a published poet. She is also no stranger to the “Law,” or to image building and could assist Ms. Hilton in more ways than one. Sears Thomas is the younger sister of former Virginia Supreme Court Justice, the honorable John C. Thomas and Dr. Clarence W. Thomas, Professor of Mass Communications, Virginia Commonwealth University. Both brothers have encouraged and positively impacted her writing talents.

If “HiltonSuitesTM,” the series, comes to fruition it could be a way for a wealthy, young, sometimes troubled celebrity to finally mature by giving something lasting and meaningful to society and it could also provide a urge break to a small town writer.

I’m not sure why the media has to talk about the most muy doble aburrido mujer heiress on the planet right now, and this constant bulls— about paris, paris and more paris, etc., has caused me to have sensory overload overtime and the media talking about her constantly is really stupid.
Who does she think she is, the Queenie of all media?
Haven’t you and the rest of the media realized that talking about paris too much doesn’t make her interesting to me?
Haven’t you media folks got something better to do than to overhype paris hilton?
She’s not that great as a celebrity.
I’d love to have some paris hilton-free shows from you folks as soon as this media overhype of paris hilton’s jailtime saga and her release from jail is over.
I’m not watching tonight’s “Larry King” train wreck interview of paris hilton.

So what is she famous for? Her PARENTS money? Big deal! I think they need to let her go pout and feel sorry for herself without all the attention. She is an idiot and she hasn’t learned a lesson, they didn’t keep her in there long enough for her to learn. A job offer…………that girl isn’t going to work. She is trash with money. I could care less about her and have started passing over anything about her. I wouldn’t buy her record if someone gave me the money to buy it. I wouldn’t buy anything about her for that matter. I am so over her and everyone else I talk to is too! I won’t be commenting on her or watching her anymore. She has messed things up for herself!!

I have had enough of the exposure given for Paris Hilton? I just can’t understand what this media is so hung up about her! Shame on Larry King to interview her.

Nobody is interested in a talentless airhead!

Media is stupid to always go after her!

There are more interesting people out there who really deserve publicity than her!

Is it because money talks!

@@@@@@###@@@

We will stop watching tv if she is portrayed, in fact I have stopped watching EXTRA too.
