Of course it does! Don't you know that if you aren't deemed on the level of Paris Hilton that you are automatically obligated to want to nail her? No, it just means that people are quick to criticize someone else's looks when I guarantee 90% of the people who voted no would be considered repulsive by someone looking for an attractive partner. SO WHAT?? Every single time there's a "would you hit ___?" thread, and some of us DARE to say no, or to criticize the look of a Diva-Celebrity-Model-whatever, a smartass feels the urge of pointing out we're the most ugly and desperate bunch of people breathing air on this planet. Just because we don't find Paris Hilton (or Melina, or who you want) attractive/bangable? First: who are you to pass judgment on us again? Second: why can't we just have DIFFERENT tastes in women, regardless of our and their looks? I may look "unattractive" to you but "attractive" to other people, and the same works for Celebrities. Just because Vanity Fair and MTV decided Paris Hilton is attractive, this doesn't mean she MUST BE beautiful TO ME! Third: as we're talking about "iconic beauty", I expect MUCH better than Paris Hilton I'd probably find a rat-faced, surfboard flat, bleached blonde slut with 2lbs of makeup in a club in my hometown if I wanted to... Oh but she'd probably turn me down because I'm uuuugly... And last but not least... not being a Casanova doesn't equal wanting to f*** everything with a hole in it. But maybe it's a bit too complicate to understand...

Unless she offered me a whole HELL of a lot of money. And a kevlar condom.)

Seeing as Paris only dates rich morons with substance abuse problems... she probably WOULDN'T date anyone here.

I could see her dating a normal guy at some point, she is a human being after all and said that she does want to start a family someday, I'm not saying she can't do that with a famous guy, but honestly, I think she'd give a normal guy a chance

She didn't exactly settle down with a regular schmuck off the street...

Somehow, I don't think she's gonna stop at a gas station and fall in love with the guy at the pump.

Well, yeah and I'm not saying the average non famous guy would make a decent husband, like I said we're all humans, Famous people are a lil different, always have been in my eyes, but call me naive but if we're expected to believe all we read in the tabloids, then I believe her when she talks about things like that, there is that side to her I believe, whether it comes out in the pictures or not

I can't even be bothered with tabloids. As a fellow woman, she represents to me the worst that we can be. Life isn't hard enough for young girls having to deal with the pressure to be thin and vain that along comes someone like Paris Hilton, who acts however she wants in public with no repercussions. Is there another side to her? I'm sure there is. Humans are wonderfully complex creatures. But when ALL we see are images and reports of her being a complete asshole, it's not good. Being an overpriviledged, moral-free clotheshorse isn't something I'm really thrilled with being the center of attention in the media.
Which, of course, all goes back to the phrase "there's no such thing as bad publicity." I wish I had a time machine to go back and smite the originator of THAT saying and eliminate the problem.

No, and yet you can bet it's not the last time we see it.

honestly, I think she'd give a normal guy a chance only if she were allowed to build a reality show around him

But when you know the media is following you, is it a good idea to go around bellowing about your former friend's crotch at the top of your lungs? (Brandon Davis gets the lion's share of this one, but right behind him in the video is Paris cackling like a nut and egging him on. And later, she lets a few of her own fly, too.)
I'm not saying she looks for the attention *ignoring the whole porno-released-right-before-TV-show-premiered thing*, but she knows she has it and still acts the way she does. Knowing that the paparazzi is hot on your tail (or crammed in your face), shouldn't you try not to draw THAT much negative attention by acting like an entitled, spoiled. coked-out ass?

We're still holding onto the 'if you don't think she's hot, I bet the wimmens don't like your looks nyah nyah' kick?

Nah, I think we've progressed to "don't believe the tabloids" stuff now.

Ah. People read tabloids cuz they want to believe they have some insight into the 'beautiful people', often to the neglect of their own lives. Graven images are still worshipped, except instead of golden calves, now they're beamed via digital video across the world as some bow to the altar of celebrity.
Sorry, didn't mean to be hamfisted philosophical.

wow! it seemed people enjoyed my "bag of nickels" phrase. it is amusing to me that someone questioned whether or not I would be beaten with a bag of nickels or have sex with a "woman" I use quotation marks because Paris Hilton is not a woman, she is (in my opinion) a horrifying spawn of Skeletor and Beetlejuice. And no I'm not an ugly bastard...in fact I'm a pretty attractive guy. good-times.webshots.com/photo/2925958660100148603OYmgIg

I'd like to make an important distinction here. A crude one, yes, but one that's still true.
Just because you don't find somebody "hot" doesn't mean you won't sleep with them...ok, I know I'm speaking for some of us here, but you get my drift.
It's entirely possible to be, say, at a party of some sort, and end up hooking up with somebody who, upon later introspection, you might not find "hot", but who, in the right time, place, and mood, happened to tickle your fancy.
See, I don't find Paris Hilton hot, as she doesn't fit any mold I know of that I usually find myself immediately attracted to. However, that doesn't automatically mean "I would NEVER sleep with that!". It's just simply not something I usually consider.
Eh, maybe it's just me.

Sorry, didn't mean to be hamfisted philosophical. Hamfisted or not... it's the truth. The Cult of Celebrity is really pervasive these days. It's not just putting posters of your favorite teen idol on your bedroom walls. It's constant, 24-7 saturation with "BE FAMOUS! FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE THE BEST! LET'S GO THROUGH THEIR GARBAGE"
