I'm usually not that big of a fan of watching crusty and often bitter, David Letterman, but I have to give the old guy much props for grilling Paris Hilton on her most recent appearance on his late night talk show. But then again, few things make me happier than watching someone making Paris Hilton visibly uncomfortable. I especially enjoy his referring to her eating vegetables to ward off scurvy, which I'm sure she completely did not understand. At one point, Paris announced that she was going to move on to the next subject, telling Dave, "I don't really want to talk about it anymore." Anyone else probably would have let Paris off the hook, but Dave pressed on, continuing with questions about friends she made while in the slammer, making the heiress visibly less happy to be there as the interview wore on. Eventually, David offered to give her a parakeet as a peace offering, but I hope he didn't mean it.

By "parakeet" he meant "rusty trombone."

As a longtime fan and practitioner of crusty and bitter, I have to say that interview was a great critique of the kind of celebrity journalism that treats Paris Hilton as a serious person. Dave doesn't go for that.
And I love those moments--this interview and the Sarah Silverman MTV monologue--when it gets through Paris's lead-lined skull that no one outside of her circle of idiots has any use for her. Don't publicize yourself in any way, sweetie, and no one will laugh at you. Er, at least not to your face.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person...GO DAVE!!!
Prick Up Your Ears says:
Hope the bitch cried like baby. Dave gave her the public flaying she deserves. She should be mocked at every turn.
blonde says:
You eat fruit to ward off scurvy, not vegetables.
Why does everyone get off on being so cruel to this girl? What horrible crime did she commit to deserve to be "mocked at every turn"? She was born rich, maybe she took advantage of that. It's not like she kills babies or anything. Give her a break.
Zekers says:
...mostly because she is a mean moron with a superiority complex. Her crime was driving drunk and thinking she wouldn't be punished. No, she didn't kill any babies...but she certainly could have.
nastybugger says:
zekers, add that to the fact that she's a racist and anti-semite with a clique-ish high school mentality.
Zekers says:
Oh yeah...forgot that part, thanks nastyb!
ummmm says:
Umm, I thought she handled it really well, and Dave looked like an idiot trying to make something out of an issue that is seriously OLD news. His questions were boring, and we've heard them all before. All Paris did was rolled her eyes at him and waited for him to get over it. That's my take on it....
kiki
To uuuuummmmmmmm...
Clearly you missed the point.. He was mocking her. The questions weren't meant to serious. He was just making a point that this stupid crap is all she is really known for her. He held off talking about her "movie" and "perfume" just to mock her. Clearly - you just didn't get it.
