Is Paris the new Marilyn?
Posted by Jane 'Bumface' Murphy
There's yet more heart-warming modesty from Paris Hilton, who says it was always her destiny to become a blonde icon.
"Everyone was so excited that I was born, they would always take pictures of me," she reveals. "My grandma would call me Marilyn Monroe or Grace Kelly."
Incidentally, my granny used to call me "Bumface" or "Droopy Knickers". Ah, it could all have been so different if she'd chosen the name of a screen siren instead.
Anyway, I digress... "Ever since I was little, it's what I knew I wanted to be - a blonde icon," adds Paris. And by the sounds of it, she thinks she's achieved her aim.
But is "blonde icon" really the best description of Paris? What two words would you use to describe her? Tell us here.

Ha! Paris may been an heiress to billions, but cheap is the word to decribe her. Fame hungry people with no talent seem to be everywhere these days.

My 2 words would be self-absorbed ignoramus. I can't believe that she thinks she is like Marilyn Monroe. She's another one in my 'needs to quietly fade away' category.

The one big advantage with Marilyn is of course she's dead.

ARE WE JOKING? not only she is ugly, has no class and looks like a transvestite, but what does she actually do a part from spending daddy's and granddaddy's money? Marilyn is part of cinema history something that Paris will never be and rightly so.

Gotta love Paris! not only is she the dumbest person to walk this earth but she has a great business head with all her endorsements,perfume,shoes,clothing line,author,film,television shows,and charities - still at least she does something good with her money and puts it back into life saving causes which not many celebtiries do!! you go girl!!

Marilyn Monroe is an icon of timeless beauty and classy sex-appeal. Paris Hilton is a foot-faced bimbo whose only real claim to fame is a listeless performance in an amature porn film.
Get a clue, Paris - everyone hates you!

she may have (some how) done loads, but that doesn't make her our Marilyn. Britney is the only person who is as near as to what today has, plus there is only one Marilyn.

Tarty and cheap! but i suppose Marilyn would have been called the same is she hadn't of been an actress!
