Paris...the woman of light

So, I'm kind of embarassed that I know this, but in several interviews past I've cringed to hear Paris Hilton say that every generation needs an iconic blond and that she is ours. She also likes to reference Marilyn Monre when making this statement.

I'd like to take a minute to compare the men who have "fallen in love" with Paris and the men who have fallen in love with Marilyn.

Paris:

Nick Carter -- boyband member

Rick Salomon -- professional sleeze ball

Derek Whibley -- singer of a shitty teen rock band
Simon Rex -- MTV VJ of the mid ninties

Joe Francis -- owner of girl's gone wild franchise

And now -- Doug Reinhardt -- cameo appearance in reality TV show, "The Hills"

Marilyn:

Joe MiMaggio -- one of the most famous and beloved baseball players of all time

Arthur Miller -- one of the most famous and beloved playwrights of all time

John F. Kennedy -- one of the most famous and beloved leaders of the free world.

While I don't condone judging a woman's worth based on the men in her life, I think in this case it's a barometer worth 1,000 words.

Paris, you are no Marilyn. What you are is a fascinating anomaly. Trailer Park Trash who happened to have been born an heiress.
