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"!

121. People are dying in a useless war, people are starving, our basic human rights are being eroded, and we're complaining about Paris Hilton's drawings? I think we need to get our priorities straight here, people.

Peace

122. Please tell us what basic human rights of yours have been taken away.

I'm preparing a rescue team right now to come save you, since you seem to be imprisoned somehow.

123. I love how tmz overlooked the fact that the handwriting expert basically said the girl is retarded. so typical.

124. Jenny - Lol. Is that light like the tunnel when you have a near death experience? Thank heaven you said that, or I'd be gone like Dorothy in Kansas...Seriously, though, I think it a waste of time at this point to over analyse everything this girl does. Everyone is giving this far too much thought. No wonder it continues; it's rewarded with undeserved attention. That would make all of us media whores. Thanks for the laugh. I was where you are opinion wise about 2 months ago, because I had lots of spare net time, and am not naive or blind at all; have considered every little nuance, but now I really just don't care. I'm not saying you couldn't be right, I'm just saying one could consider that this scenario is also possible.

125. The fact that so many people want to write here about Paris (either using cussing or being nice) shows how important she is. It doesn't matter if she got a GED - or whether she doesn't want to be known as a drug user. You really don't know how smart she is - or what any of her motives are. She was fortunate to be born into money as a Hilton - she was fortunate to be born beautiful. Her parents love her (she is lucky they are intelligent!) and whether or not you think they raised her correctly doesn't really matter. She's not your daughter!

I like her - her life is fun to follow! I can't wait to read more about her -

She's fun - She's interesting - She's beautiful!

126. Parasite is neither beautiful nor are her parents intelligent. Money has given all of them more credit then they deserve.

127. Serious question?? Why do the Hiltons dislike people from India and surrounding countrie so much. I have heard Rick and Paris refer to them as camel jockeys and other names not fit for print. Does anyone know the source of the hate for Indians????

#136 about the Paris propaganda / PR
Paris beautiful? in your eyes not mine, Her parents intelligent? again in your mind not mine.
If you find watching her amateur porn and club hopping, disrespecting the laws exciting more power to you.
Paris is not my daughter your right there. My daughter graduated high school and is in college, Volunteers at a shelter for animals and works very hard at her job.
All that coming from a woman born into just enough money to get by. Watching that is what I call exciting. Perhaps you might consider raising your entertainment bar. No pun intented.

The Hiltons ( Paris) have made derogatory comments about the poor and blacks also so it's just not those you mention.
Among their own wealthy crowd they are the targets for derogatory comments so it all comes around. I'm not sure the history of it other then it is a learned thinking pattern.
I only assume anyone not in their social economic race is looked upon as less then worthy. Ignorance crosses all barriers.

TMZ runs so many articles on Paris the odds are good many people will post comments.
Paris articles out number others by far.
That says nothing about her importance but more the lack of choice on TMZ front pages.

131. #77,#136, others, thank you.
You might think that Paris is dumb, but is she? . . . I don't think so.
Those people who so rabbidly attack Paris may have problems, If you hate her so bad
then don't go to this website because it is only bringing you down, this website talks about Paris everyday, maybe you should grow up and take a more college educated
attitude for your own self - you know who you are.

So the people who would choose to remain on ParisTMZ would be using college educated intelligence? lmao you know who you are

133. RE. #144,
College or not it does not matter, I was stating to the case of Shirly that Paris Hilton should not be a big deal to the point that you obsess about Paris's antics when your child
successfuly graduates from high school and goes on to college to pursue a career, I was only meaning to state that the success of the child is far more important than something as trivial as the misgivings of Paris Hilton who is not college educated and is
not as intelligent as your child. - The bottom line is - Paris is trivial and is only a media
image, is she makes you very angry then it's time to go somewhere else and focus on
things that may better compliment your life. Your loved one is important, not Paris.

There's nothing wrong about stating dislikes about Hilton, there things I don't like about her too, but some people take this thing to no limit of hatered sush as one stated far earlier 70's 80's down range in the posts.

But I am glad to see intelligent minds on both sides of the issue prevail.

Hope this helps PinkSlip.
