old and busted: britney spears
new hotness: paris hilton.

evidently you don't need to even pretend to have talent to be famous anymore. that's awesome. i'm fascinated by this girl like i've never been obsessed with a celebrity before. she's rich. she's stupid (or at least pretends to be). she's hot. she doesn't do jack shit except party and shop (and face it, you wouldn't either if you were heir to a massive hotel fortune). the way she's just exploded into the media in the last couple of months makes me think that she woke up one day and was like, "i want to be famous!" and then set about becoming so. and, let's face it, she lives like the rest of us wish we could. oh, and did i mention that she's hot (in a waiflike, freakish, disgusting way)?
