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"!

91. Paris has far more talent in the art department than Rosie! Rosie's "art" should be used to wrap the garbage in!

Paris' handwriting looks no different to me than most of her generation and it is legible. The schools no longer teach penmanship, as they did in previous generations.

92. My guess is that filthy rich people like Paris do not have to be educated. Their staff does everything for them.

93. 99. except that she has made millions of dollars on her own. how retarded is that?

So ya think she's going to use any of her "self made" millions of dollars for any charitable cause? Do a "Google" search, she was going to change her hard partying ways and "concentrate" on causes of illnesses her ancestors died of - course that was her PR spin, right after her porno tape hit the internet

Money can't buy her health, happiness or respect and it damn well can't cure her Herpes nor intelligence deficit,

Pathetic, lying skank, that apple didn't fall far from the tree! Nouveau Riche Trash!

94. Geez, she's a mental midget. I have a 7 year old niece that can draw better than that. I guess paris believes what her mom told her about getting an education (with apologies to the United Negro College Fund) - "A mind is a terrible thing..."

95. Just a note, Paris Hilton is racist.

Hey, oh pullllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeze, so righteous yourself. Show me where in the world a command there force people to do charity. Stop big-monthing yourself before you have shown the world what "charity" you have done first. Your are even worse than the one you are condemning. Hypocrites are worse than the whore, and you are worse than the hypocrites.

97. Unfortunately, I know people who have been in jail,prison, and rehab. There are a lot of talented men and women that are "locked up". The picture was probably a pay-off to Paris in exchange for "commisary". It happens all the time and the person that drew the picture has a supply of "ramen" until she is released.

You don't know me jackass or what charities I donate to and volunteer with, so why don't you go back to your shack in the woods and listen to your Deliverence music - while you're at it, drink a little white lightening, eat a moon pie and choke on the dog chit coming out of your mouth.

You must be part of the "HILTON HILLBILLIES" - the family where everyone is "relative"!

In words you will understand; BITE ME!

99. I must add that I have been a fan of her aunt Kim Richards since "Nanny and the Professor". It was nice to see her again after all of these years. Does anyone remember her as "Ruthie" , with the ass-long hair in "Here's Larry" a spin-off of "Different Strokes"?

100. I call it crap. A child could do a better job of drawing then this..

Re. her writing style - "diminished capacity of comprehension", yes harsh, but true. LOL Actually, it almost looks like one of those notes sent by a serial killer to the media and/or police. Maybe there's a side of Parasite we really don't know about.

101. I seriously doubt that is Paris's artwork! And the letter - who in jail sorts through mail before it is given to an inmate?

I can't imagine how much mail this woman received, but from all the surveys and voting on the internet (mostly negative), it would appear she would have received more negative mail than "fan mail".

Can she really be so dense as to think telling Larry King that she " had never taken drugs" and was at a "loss for words" when asked about her favorite passage in the Bible, that people would ever believe her answers???

Seems to me, it should have been a wake-up call for her at the MTV awards, when her peers and respected actors laughed and clapped, when she was the butt end of a nasty joke.

This woman has a lot of serious mental and emotional issues that will need years of therapy.

102. just the facts - I couldn't stop laughing when I heard Parasite tell King how much the bible inspired her. And that she read it every day in jail. Then Larry asked her which part of the bible was her favorite and she couldn't think of an answer, except she paused for about 10 seconds, then said she didn't have any favorites. LOL Nice catch Parasite.

She was fed and coached on what to say for the interview and how to act, but she wasn't expecting Larry to ask her that. LMAO!!!!

103. Is it me???

If you look at the picture, supposedly Parass's artwork, the word in the picture is shown as LYNWOOD jail - if you look up Lynwood/Lynnwood jail CA on the internet, every site shows it as:

LYNNWOOD JAIL

Did she not know what jail she was in? Wonder if she had imaginary friends when she was coming down off the drugs?

Yep - it must be me!

105. Mr Van Gogh,

So good to hear you looooooooooove my artwork.

I just idolize your paintings. The seascapes of the ocean you painted in Malibu are so "HOT"!

Do you think you could paint me? I don't charge a high fee for sitting. I was thinking maybe a figure like $1 mil.

Please let me know RSVP as I will be contacting Salvador Dali for his best offer in the morning.
