So long, Paris

For years we've been paralyzed in the tractor beam of her brainless celebrity. Now it's time to kiss the creepy dollie goodbye.

    Thoughtful debate about a shallow subject....

    But I'll continue the debate because, truth be told, I'm pretty shallow.

    Leave Britney alone. She's enjoying her freedom, and if Paris is her partner in crime, all the power to them both. I'd be slutting it up too if I were pregnant for two years straight, while stuck in an oppressive marriage to perhaps the world's biggest loser. We should be celebrating her emancipation, rather than shunning her for immodesty.

    And, please, Paris is hardly a culprit here; it's obvious Britney's got a crush on Paris. Paris is just letting her follow her around.

    And of course Paris' friends have problems. She leads a life of excess, as do her friends. That's what happens when you lead a life of excess. You get coked up, or you start puking yourself. Paris deserves some credit for (apparently) not doing either of those things. She may be dumb, but she's not stupid.
