Paris Hilton Research Paper

Decent Essays
Is it possible to turn the status of talentless and born-to-wealth into something that the public would become infatuated with for the next decade? Paris Hilton, now 36 years old, did just that when she stormed the media and became the original famous for being famous celebrity way back in 2003. I recall my introduction to the blonde socialite, at the young age of four; unlike the rest of the world, I was unaware and uncaring of her questionable rise to fame - to me, she was the living embodiment of Barbie.

    In her article “From Barnum to “Bling”,” Amy Henderson describes the transition in the definition of celebrity. Thanks to TV, cable, and 24/7 coverage, celebrities are frequently in the spotlight of American entertainment, news, and life. When the idea of a celebrity began, the earlier celebrities focussed on encompassing all people and encouraging peace and agreements. The contemporary celebrity, on the other hand, focuses more on using their fame to promote politics and does not appeal to a wide range of people. Contemporary culture is dominated by an image which represents something or someone and causes disillusionment between reality and illusion.…

Marilyn led an astonishing career even in her short life, starting as a model and making her way towards the film business, she dazzled the public with her beauty and charm.
