If attitude and style are the purpose of popularity, hotel heiress Paris Hilton has achieved it to the max. Media experts say that the dumb blonde, who is defining the image of American fashion worldwide has become the most recognizable person on the planet.

The hype and hoopla surrounding her recent stint in prison constituted a chunk of news share. Miss Hilton has reached the crescendo of fame and anything that she does, even if it is a blunder like driving with a suspended license becomes the hot news of the day. Her recent prison stint was so hyped up that the fashion icon chewed a great deal of media time and constituted a chunk of news.

Despite the fact that the blonde is damn silly and mean, she manages to get the world’s undivided attention. As a matter of fact, Paris dominates not only American media, but also, the countries where news from the US is banned. Not only is the Hilton babe most watched, she is read about more than anybody else.

All this is enough to highlight our celebrity obsessed culture and falling moral standards. But at the same time there is no denying that if we don’t have such news, what will we laugh at?
