When it comes to Paris, I'm just like any other blogger

Sure, it's a media circus. Yes, justice in the country is a complete sham. No, if she was poor she would not have been given special treatment. Yes, it's stupid that so much fecking time and resources are spent on this story.

Ma dai! Celebrities that cry about not having privacy are crazy. Sugars, what are you thinking? You dress in fancy clothes, get your make up done and your hair set by professionals paid just to do that for you, and you live a life that most of us probably will never experience. It's a total fair tale. Then maybe you break the law or shoplift a scarf or lower yourself in some fashion, and, yeah, maybe it is weird for you to get your head around the fact that you would suddenly have to live a non-fairy tale life. It would be like me winning the lottery.

But since Roman emperors had their likeness carved and erected in the public square, certain people want attention and get it and everyone knows who they are (except for my friend Steven, who I think is now aware of Paris Hilton, but, like the rest of us, is unsure of why she's a celebrity), and these people are watched and studied and admired and hated. Trouble is, you can't turn it off, my pets. If you could, Princess Diana would probably be alive.

I'm going to by a weed digger-outer now.
