I have to give credit to Paris Hilton. She knows everyone’s going to laugh at her for putting out a single. But she proceeds anyway.

To tell the truth, I like her. She presents herself as a vapid, spoiled rich girl, and (as far as we can tell) that’s what she is. There’s an odd honesty there.

Every generation needs an international party girl. In the 1930s we had Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton — nowhere near as fun as Paris. I think we got lucky with Ms. Hilton. She’s always good for laughs.
