Paris: Poor Penmanship but an Ace Artiste!

Last week, lady blog Jezebel had Paris Hilton's jail-time note examined by expert handwriting analyst Sheila Kurtz. According to Kurtz, Paris' scrawl style reveals a, uh, troubled soul. "Rarely do we see an independent adult write with such diminished capacity of comprehension," said Kurtz. So she's no Soren Kierkegaard." Harsh!


This week, the gals at Jezebel took Paris' artistic merits to task, and had Paris' drawing for TMZ's own Harvey Levin analyzed by acclaimed contemporary art expert James Romberger. His findings? She's a regular Frida Kahlo! Paging Mary Boone!



Says Romberger: [Paris] linework demands a new genre. Poignant and unintentionally surreal, heavily-laden with encoded symbology. He calls her work, "post-modernist-ish insider/outsider Art."

And that's art with a capital "A"!

17. I think handwriting analysis and sketch analysis are like wine tasting, psychics and palm readers. Bogus. I read an article where so called snooty over-priced wine tasters consistently couldn't tell the difference when blindfolded. So called 'experts' in subjective fields become indignant when challenged. You could, like, take the content of her note at it's own merit, maybe??? Lol.

18. What can anyone expect - she even flunked "Hooked on Phonics"

ALRIGHT HARVEY - you kicked off the HILTONs payroll already?

No pictures of PARIS in her "GRASS" skirt today, drinking a Mai Tai??

No gossip about PARIS's adoring fans swarming over her, saying Aloha?

None of PARIS catching the "Big One" on her boogie board?

WTF - we need our PARIS fix!

Maybe you wised up and realized the Hiltons used you for PR/DAMAGE CONTROL, same a Bahbra WaWa!

At least Larry King wasn't as blinded as you by PARIS - and he wears some pretty thick glasses!

20. Rockstar, I'm grabbing my multicolor sharpies as you speak. If the best argument a person has is that the previous commentor used the wrong tense, then they've missed the whole point.

22. TMZ come on now! I'm no fan of Paris and I think she's nothing but a rich spoiled uppity racist conceited c*nt, but how in the world do they determine she's a troubled soul by that letter? WTF?

Posted at 8:40PM on Jun 30th 2007 by Dearest hater of Paris Hilton,

26. LEAVE her alone...stop comparing her to your grandchild #4 -- its not about your stupid grandchild-- why do people make this about themselves? Why do you guys hate someone you don't even know? She was in jail and drawing and writing is how she dealt with the time. I am glad she is free.

So what if her writing styles in not to your liking? That is just syntax and to analyse it
is just stupid. So she doesn't write like anyone else, all that means is she in not like everyone else. I think that's good, that make her out of the ordinary. Who wants to be a mediocre person like #4? I for one am glad she is not a cookie cutter, square pegs like the haters on this page. Leave her alone!

27. The printing on this note is not the same as the printing on the jail picture's writing that we saw last week. Why is that TMZ? If I can see that, anyone can!!

28. First of all I doubt that you can find any of the people, you makes articles about, who can come even close to Kierkegaard.

Second of all education it not what it is about at Provo Canyon School - the "school" Paris atteneded around 1997. It is a private prison for teenagers. The very fact that she took a GED after such a stay tells that she is not without skills.

Third my child aged 8 can produce such a drawing.

Forth, she has followed the advice of my countryman. She had left the country. Hopefully for some months, so people can deal with other things than her. So why continue to write about her?

29. What is wrong with thanking a fan for their love and support? Many people say that to their spouses when they go through trying times.

30. Sounds logical to me.

Paris told Larry King she had ADD for years and takes ADDERAL.

ADDERAL is "speed"! It is widely used by college students (over medicating) to meet the pressures of college lifestyles.

If a person stops taking ADDERAL, they go "cold turkey" with severe anxiety attacks, sometimes paranoia, claustrophobia, weight gain.

I think Paris Hilton is a druggie and used the excuse of ADD to mask her addiction.

If the ADDERAL was prescribed by her doctor, there is no way that she would not know the side effects of this drug and would have had it with her when she went to jail or would have informed jail medical personnel immediately of her condition.

Cold turkey from ADDERAL is real hell for about 72hrs, severe cold, severe shaking, agitation, can be suicidal.

No one would go through all of this unless they were using it illegally.

As I recall, she also told Larry King she had gained a couple of pounds in jail, even though she described the food as "slop".

Yep - sounds like she is just a druggie who was told by her PR people or shrink the public would believe this ADD excuse.
