I know a lot of desperate people. Most of them also happen to be poor. Coincidence?

I think in this context it’s not referring to that kind of desperation.

She’s a good example of how just being well-off financially isn’t fulfilling. Some people also have to be the center of everything. “Stop Being Desperate” should have been a self-motivation thing she said into the mirror daily. Here she is again, telling us all about herself.

I doubt it had anything to do with self-esteem or mental health, either. In the context of her persona back then, it sounds like a brush-off issued by a spoiled, smirking popular girl in high school to someone who’s trying to be part of her rotten clique.

That said, back to doing what I always did with people who are famous only for being famous.

She’s really itching for a Berenstain Bears controversy to stay relevant

Rather ironic, considering she always seems desperate for attention.

Paris Hilton recently did an episode of Hot Ones. I have to say, my opinion of her went up significantly after watching that.

It would be nice if we could move past celebrating fame and celebrity. People famous for being privileged really shouldn’t be getting our attention.

Although I have to admit to enjoying Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera. That’s it.

Love her or hate her, that is some high quality internet trolling here.

As the artist Plastic Jesus recommends: “Stop Making Stupid People Famous”.

Wait. So are we supposed to hate the rich or not? This is BoingBoing–I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to hate the rich.

And in her own way, she’s responsible for the Kardashian clan, and all of the ills that that has spawned, so…

I used to be poor. Then I saw Paris Hitlon’s shirt, which advised me to stop being poor. I took her shirt’s words to heart and soon stopped being poor. Today, I am the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and all thanks to the life-changing advice that I got from Paris Hilton’s shirt. /s
