Paris is not Britney

It would be easy to dismiss Paris Hilton as a lost bimbo like Britney due to the drink driving bust and the fiasco in jail. Actually, she is a clever business woman who commands $1 million to just show up at an event or party. Bono from U2 only gets $500k!

Ever since her internet sex video shae has provided entertainment while quietly building a loyal fan base, a line of products and her very own fortune.

We'll probably keep making fun of her but she will surely keep building her franchise.
