Paris Hilton is a whore. I hope she dies.

Medical Condition

"My friend's brother (who works with [Sheriff Lee] Baca's assistant sheriffs) told me that Paris was released due to a severe, "stress-induced" herpes outbreak. He also said that he heard that the blisters had apparently spread to her anus and had taken on abcess-like features that required more serious medical attention." 130.219.235.253 19:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to delete that comment, but there is evidence that paris does have herpes, and this does give considerable support to what would otherwise be an inane suggestion. http://www.celebslam.com/paris-hilton-storage-unit 124.190.18.148 20:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Paris Hilton was released early from prison after consultation showed she had a medical condition of some sort that made prison unsuitable for her. See for example, http://www.actressarchives.com/news.php?id=6026

I can't find any references to the type of condition. Does anyone have any ideas? The most likely candidate is severe depression. 124.190.17.131 15:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to expand what sort of 'medical condition' she had. All reports are saying mental-http://www.tmz.com/2007/06/07/paris-medical-condition-mental-not-physical.

I think to just leave it as a medical condition is not enough. It needs to be expanded.--MD1954 19:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the 'medical condition' was just Paris whining and crying until she got her way. Obviously the article shouldn't be phrased that way, but we should make it clear that the existence of a 'medical condition' is being questioned by many people. 70.177.55.149 22:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hotel

I am suprised to see no mention of the Paris Hilton hotel, which for a long time was prominently marketed under the name "Paris Hilton", although it has been downplaying that recently. It even carried the name "Paris Hilton" on the front. http://www.tomorrowland.org/photos/uncategorized/hilton_hotel_paris_2.jpg

It came back into prominence when some smart person realised that he literally could have "one night in Paris Hilton". 161.73.37.81 13:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it is called the Paris Hilton Hotel is due to the fact that the hotel is located in Paris, France not because of Paris Hilton hersel 69.122.139.132 20:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Miscarriage

The only credible thing I could find on Paris Hilton undergoing a miscarriage is an ABC news story saying that she is suing a web site operator for publishing this story. According to the story, the only link between Paris Hilton and the person who had the miscarriage, Amber Taylor, is that the two have the same birthdate. In my opinion, not sufficient for including on Wikipedia (and certainly not in the article's abstract). --However whatever 15:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracy

The introduction of this article is inaccurate in implying that the sex video was the beginning of her fame; she was already famous before that. The sex video was infamous specifically because she was already a public figure! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.245.20.96 (talk • contribs) 09:19, 29 May 2007.

I don't agree, I believe it is totaly accurate. The sex tape is the major reason for her being catapulted into the lime-light.WacoJacko 04:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with WacoJacko, Paris was your run-of-the-mill debutante until "One Night in Paris" was leaked. She's the quintessential person who is "famous for being famous"; the tape made her name a household word, though, ironically, the only reason the tape is significant is because it's of hotel heiress Paris Hilton. Nolefan32 16:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On page 177 of Confessions of an Heiress, it says she turned 23 on February 27, 2004. Which means her birthday is on the 27th, not the 17th. User:Donpdonp

Mugshot

Is it acceptable to upload her mugshot and use it in the article? —Viriditas | Talk 01:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We already have a freely-licensed image to be used to depict her. So it could not be used solely to illustrate Hilton. --Yamla 01:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's relevant, it's photo that's not copyrighted because it's available by to the public. It just needs to be put in the appropriate section.--Hourick 14:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe in the US, but certainly nowhere else as far as I know. Wish the stupid bint wouldn't have bothered.77.97.248.216 14:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the mugshot is EXTREMELY relevant. It is definitely notable and is available to the public.WacoJacko 04:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

South Park

The "in popular culture" section should include info on the south park episode Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset, which is largely centered around paris hilton. its pretty much along the same lines as whats in the "in popular culture" section already

70.107.41.38 23:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After Ascent and CEDU, where was she jailed?

Posters on Fornits have identified her as one of the inmates at CEDU - a now closed and feared private prison for so-called troubled teens. As it is common in this line of business, she was first committed by her parents to a boot camp in the desert (the nice word is Wilderness therapy called Ascent in order to be broken.

She ran away from CEDU and was instead imprisoned at a facility in Utah, but there seems to be some confusion of the name of this facility - was it Provo Canyon School or Cross Creek programs ?

Released from jail

For 'medical reasons', apparently. [1] this should probably be added to the article, somewhere or other. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 15:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait, I see it's in there already. Ignore me. :) --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 15:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although Paris only served 3 full days in jail, the sheriff credited her with 5 days, since she technically surrendered late Sunday and was released very early Thursday.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marshalmoo (talk • contribs).

several hours afterward, the judged ordered that she appear in court on Friday at 9am, to determine why she was given preferential treatment and released by the Sheriff. Also, the Sheriff is in question as to why he defied court orders.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.107.241.219 (talk • contribs).

However, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini conceded to the Associated Press that it is the Sheriff, and not the judge, who decides when inmates are released from jail.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.83.71.109 (talk • contribs).

Please input the fact that Paris Hilton will be doing her court appearance over the phone instead of gong in-person. I also think in regards to her legal problems there should be some clean-up on this article. Her violation of probation, and jail-term sentence should be put on a seperate article within the "Legal Issues" section.

Can anyone get her mugshot posted on her page?

Deletion of negative information

As I have been looking over the edit history of both the article and the talk page, it strikes me that any negative information whatsoever is being systematically deleted. Even discussion of including the fact that the media criticizes Miss Hilton have been deleted quite quickly. It seems that there are a group of people here who are intent on stifling any discussion about the issue, weather they be fans, or something else.

Can anything be done about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.79.17 (talk • contribs)

Criticism?

Being one of the most talked about celebrities, also leads onto her being heavily criticized by various (reputable) media outlets. Read any non-gossip news source and they usually slide in some derogatory remark about her perceived image and public behavior, So why isn't it even mentioned here?

(There was even a whole episode of south park more or less directed at her)

Most anyone that can recognize her name would acknowledge that at the very least she generates above average lampooning from the reputable press.

So, my question is: Why isn't there even the slightest mention of any of this in the article? I am simply saying that describing her relationship with non-gossip magazines is fact, and most certainly not personal opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.79.17 (talk • contribs)

We are IMHO talking Jante Law here, but I am afraid this will be a theory and not a fact...Greswik 18:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She's going back to jail!

Really, though? I've just checked Google News and nobody else is reporting this, which seems a little odd. Exploding Boy 19:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She gone! Check CNN, Fox, etc —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.248.186.70 (talk • contribs).

BBC News, too: [3] --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 19:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I actually considered moving this page to Publicity Stunts. However, that would've been a PoV move. So, I won't do it. GoodDay 20:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
