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.

    Why are people so in her thrall?

    What is it about her that has Hollywood-plus so willing to allow her to behave as she does, and more than that celebrate it and partake in it?

    I'm not naive, I get the allure of the 'bad girls' and the 'bad boys' but she's not a Bad Girl in a fun way; she's toxic.

    One thing that I don't think was mentioned was the release of the night-camera video of her naughty behavior with some creep whose name I can't remember. It kind of makes me think of 'the slutty girl' in high school who makes one bad mistake and is forever branded because of it. Because she knows herself thus condemned and irredeemable, she decides to make lemonade out of her new status as the school lemon.

    Or maybe I'm giving her too much sympathy. She does seem pretty desicable. What an embarassment for her family. I'd have thought she'd be brought into check well before now, families that wealthy and influential usually have a tight rein on their progeny.
