Paris Hilton, channeling Marilyn Monroe
Apparently if you suspend reality enough, you’ll find that Paris Hilton is every bit as alluring as Marilyn Monroe was:
Actress Christine Lakin has compared her The Hottie and The Nottie co-star Paris Hilton to Marilyn Monroe.
Lakin claimed that the US socialite has a similar attitude to the ’50s icon and brings the same star quality to the big screen.
She told MTV: “I think she is [the modern day Monroe]. Paris is very iconic, obviously. Everybody knows her name, everybody knows her face, everyone knows her brand.
“Like Marilyn in The Seven Year Itch…she had such a child-like quality, and was so funny and charming in her own way. I see a lot of that in Paris.”
Let’s not be so hasty to make lofty comparisons shall we? I mean there’s a big difference between standing on a subway grating with one’s dress being blown skyward and lifting it yourself at some random afterparty for the benefit of your new little friend. Oh well, only time will tell whether the scene below proves to be as iconic as the one in The Seven Year Itch.
Her diet pills and Prozac are interferring with her reasoning processes. Equating Paris to Marilyn is rather like comparing Tres Flores Three Flowers Brilliantine Perfume ($4.49 for 4 ounces) to Clive Christian Perfume ($2000.00 per ounce). It’s profane…
What is he looking for? Herpes?
Hmmm, It might not be the 7 Year Itch with Paris. I’d put the timeframe more at a 7 week itch- unless you catch it quicker with antibiotics.
Not anything remotely similar to MM. No way. Not ever. (Paris i.e. EEWWWW)
Does anybody even really care what Paris Hilton does anymore? I heard she has a TV show…I was excited about that as I was when I heard I had a cavity.
Comparing Paris Hilton to Monroe, huh? Ok, let’s see…
Monroe was sexy in a somewhat over the top way, but she never seemed to quite make it to the “Whee, I’m a total whore!” kind of way.
Paris, on the other hand, seems to believe that more equals…a need for extra. Extra trash, extra breathy syllables, extra affectation, extra extra ditziness. The latter, I am not entirely convinced that she fakes.
Monroe was prettier.
Paris is pretty in a “Sure, why not, I’m drunk” kind of way.
Monroe could dress herself.
Paris…Paris by choice can’t wear anything that doesn’t look like it belongs in a Star Wars cantina.
Monroe at least had the decency to wear underwear in public.
Paris doesn’t seem to grasp the idea that underwear isn’t worn for the sole purpose of showing it to people.
Monroe had a grasp of the concept of class.
Paris…well, you’ve seen her.
I think you’ve about summed it up. Monroe without makeup was still beautiful, possibly even moreso than with makeup. Paris Hilton looks like a camel in heat.
