Yes, but she didn't inhale
I have already decided that if I were ever to run for public office (humor me), I would have to answer honestly if anyone asked whether I'd ever done drugs. I would have to look them right in the face and answer, "Why, yes, Tom. I shared a joint or two with friends while I was in college, but pot makes me paranoid and puts me straight to sleep, so it's not much fun for me." That's what I would say. Maybe if I were feeling particularly chatty, I would mention that I have a terribly addictive personality and that I'm afraid to ever try drugs that I might actually enjoy, like heroin or crack or methamphetamines, because I'm pretty sure that, after trying them once, I would be be a toothless homeless crack-head in under a month. In any event, I make no apologies for my youthful indiscretions. I am who I am today because -- or in spite -- of them. Besides, lying in public just means that you'll eventually be exposed in public, don't you think?

Anyway, if you own a television or have thought of walking past a newspaper or magazine in the last month, you know that Paris Hilton was recently released from the LA County Jail. As far as I can tell, she was arrested on a DUI charge some ago and then arrested again for driving on a suspended license, and an unaccountably unkind judge saw fit to throw her behind bars. Because we have all come to expect our celebrities to offer reposte after incarceration, Paris was invited onto the Larry King show last night. Below is a part of the dialogue from her interview, transcribed by me.
Larry: Have you ever been addicted to drugs?

Paris: No.

Larry: Taken drugs?

Paris: No.

Larry: Never taken drugs?

Paris: Mm-mm. (shakes head)

A few minutes later...
Larry: Do you have a drinking problem?

Paris
: No, not at all.

Larry: You must have had...you were just this one drink, this one time?

Paris: I'm not a big drinker, I'm not really into it. I think, socially, people do sometimes when they go out, but it's not something that I really care about.

Larry: So, how have all these stories gotten out about you...the stories of your use of drugs, parties, wild scenes? All wrong?

Paris: People make up so many crazy stories. The things I read about and things I see is not the person who I am. It really baffles me sometimes when I read things, the places I have never been, people I've never met. It's really, it's shocking to me.

Larry: Did you hang around with people who did those things?

Paris: Yes, I know people who have.

Larry: Did people photograph you with people who did those things?

Paris: Um, I'm not sure, but I think a lot of people have that problem.
I thought this was a very informative interview. I know that a lot of young girls look up to people like Paris, and I'm glad that she was as candid as this. I mean, it's not like there is any video footage online, at this very moment, that shows a drunken, stumbling, falling Paris talking about people being chinks and niggers and "little jappy jews". Thank goodness there are not tens of hours of video footage online, right now, that show her doing ecstasy and 'shrooms and smoking pot in every frame. It's not like there's a video of her sister talking about how Paris' first boyfriend got her hooked on drugs. And, can you even imagine if Paris was slurring on camera about the fact that black people have fat asses and steal things?

Because those would be some crazy stories, Larry. Crazy.

    I totally hear your point, but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone gives a rat's ass about her. I have a daughter and it horrifies me that she might grows up with some twisted idea that celebrity is somehow connected to 'right', but I plan to do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen.

    I mean, come on. wtf should Paris Hilton be on Larry King? Has she EVER done anything note worthy? Why does the media insist on putting her in the spotlight? Ignore the bitch!

    (comments not directed at you. I just hate the media and their choices as to what the public needs to have drilled into them.)

    Maybe if we can find someone to marry her off to she could also fade into oblivion a la Jennifer Lopez (another one I can't stand).

    I just don't understand this obsession people have with Paris. She's a moron and a waste of oxygen. Really she should have been swallowed at conception. Thank God her brother and sister keeps a low profile; I don't think I could handle all three of them in the news.

    That was an awesome post. I didn't catch the actual interview though I heard she'd be on. I can't imagine how desperate LK must be to have her on but I guess it is all a ratings game. Do you think they smoked a fat one after the show?

    Beautifully, beautifully, beautifully done. The pictures are a poignant counterpoint against Paris' rampant lying.
    Bravo!

    I really like your blog. I found it via your advice left on mine. I need to put down my things and read your archives too... Do you cut the panty hoses and use the pieces on the fruits? I can't imagine using the entire hose for each, but it may looks really nice in the wind... I also love the hair poem.

    Cablegirl: I totally hear you. I'm not sure, though, which is the tail and which is the dog. Is the media whipping people into a frenzy, with their perpetual stalking of celebrities, OR is our perpetual celebrity consumerism driving all the damn media coverage. I truly don't know. All I know is that Paris Hilton should NOT be front-page news, and I'm really very sick of it. Bless you for being a loving mother and responsible parent.

    Balou: Swallowed at conception? I love you.

    Dayngr: I'm pretty sure that Paris Hilton smoked a fat one, after the show. If Larry did, also...now THAT might be worth seeing on the news.

    C.L. Jahn: Thank you so much. That's very nice of you to say.

    Lan Nghiem-PHU: Thanks for stopping by, and I love the hair poem, too. Go to Marshalls or TJ Maxx and head over to the section where they sell ladies' socks. Ideally, you should find knee-high stockings (NOT socks) packaged in threes. They are usually hanging on hooks, on a wall, and you can usually find a package of 3 for $2.99. Cut the toes off a knee-high and tie an end into a tight knot. Very gently pull the stocking over the fruit, leaving enough room for the fruit to continue to grow. For example, young sour sops are tiny and grow to be the size of my head. I put a biggish stocking over the small fruit, which gives it more than enough room to grow. The stretchy stocking also automatically expands with the fruit, which is very helpful. Once the fruit is covered, you can use a loosish twist-tie or a piece of string for the open end. An alternative to the knee-high stockings is actual panty hose, which you can cut to fit. Try to choose hosiery that's NOT labeled either "sheer" or "ultra sheer". If you have a choice, go for one labeled "opaque". Or look for "tights". Hosiery is also reusable, which is nice. Oh...I would choose a nude/tan/flesh color, as opposed to black or white, since black may (or may not) absorb too much heat and white may (or may not) reflect too much heat. Good luck!
