There's a piece in today's Sun which highlights the time when Paris was asked who the British Prime Minister was (she replied: "Yes, it's Gordon Ramsay, isn't it?") Well, now she's retaliating:
"For five seasons (of The Simple Life) I was stuck doing this character. It was kind of hard always having to play that character when it's not who I am. I know exactly who Gordon Ramsay is, I know exactly who Gordon Brown is. I was just eating in Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in LA so I know that he's like a chef. I just say jokes but people think I'm serious which I think is funny and I think I kind of play up to the image sometimes because - whatever - it's entertainment."
Is it, Paris?... iisss iiiIITTT? *shakes fist* Encouraging a legion of impresionables to dumb themselves down even further, thus causing the corpses of several suffragettes to spin in their resting places, does not qualify as entertainment. Being thick simply because you are is unavoidable (Hi Jessica! *waves*); going out of your way to act thick, however, is beyond reproach.
And in 100% related news, you can see the SimpHilton peddling her act on her New British Best Friend debacle which starts on ITV2 at 9.00pm tomorrow. The following mind-numbingly obvious fact alert comes courtesy of Paris herself: "I've been offered to do one of those dating shows and I don't like that idea, I thought it would be much better to find a friend rather than a lover. That's actually how I come up with the concept of the show." *smacks head off desk*
