I love the message behind the Pruno and Privilege update, but I also understand where people are coming from who think it's cruel to stomp on someone when they're down, no matter who they are. Paris - for all her privilege, beauty and relatively middling wealth - has had been treated horribly by the public.

First, a con artist stole all the data from her ubiquitous cell phone, posted it on the internet, and then crowed about how he pulled it off. Then her ex-boyfriend sold one of their sex tapes. Then salvagers bought the contents of her storage locker and posted everything they found - from her Social Security card to deeply personal medical records - online.

People won't let her get away with being famous-just-for-being-famous. Whether she likes it or not people are determined to make her entertain them - however cruelly - in exhange for her fame.

But then there's Paris herself. When the sex tape came out, she tried to smother it by telling Page Six that Rick Solomon had raped her. And her drunk driving charge and suspended license arrest afterwards is truly the height of arrogance - from the way she tarted up her courtroom outfits for the benefit of the cameras outside to the fact that she more than almost anyone on the planet can arrange alternate means of transportation. She just chose to drive like it's the role of everyone else on the street to jump out of her way.

And she never seems to let anyone forget that she is a bigot.
