Does she dig Rimbaud?

LIZ SMITH reports on Joe Russo-Paris Hilton!!


PARIS HILTON, whose sense of "history" is what she did

the night before last, turns out to be a big fan of

the late Jim Morrison, charismatic lead singer of The

Doors. Hilton's '60s pop culture crawl has led her to

N.Y.-based Morrison look-alike singer Joe Russo. She's

picking his brain to find out where she can purchase

Morrison artifacts. Hilton has already made

pilgrimages to his gravesite, the fabled Pere-Lachaise

Cemetery. (Oscar Wilde, Sarah Bernhardt, Frederic

Chopin and Gertrude Stein keep Jim company.)


Paris' great desire is to own the gold-plated

microphone Morrison used in various concerts and

during his notorious 1968 Ed Sullivan appearance,

singing "Light My Fire." (Sullivan demanded that Jim

change the lyric "girl we couldn't get much higher."

The rocker said, "Sure." Then he went right ahead and

sang it his way. Sullivan was furious; The Doors

didn't care.)

Comments:

Yeah...I still don't like her. She should at least get a boob job at least she would have something



Sorry! I hate her guts. With all that money she should be helping the folks in need instead of walking around with hair extentions looking for best friends in england.


At the risk of getting my ass kicked in this thread, why can't Paris be a fan like anyone else? What excludes her from being a Doors fan? Why do some of you get to decide who is a Doors fan and who is not? She didn't choose being born into wealth anymore than someone would choose being born into poverty. If she was photographed wearing a Doors t-shirt a few years ago and is obsessively seeking memorabilia today with the help of Joe Russo, a name that is probably known mostly to serious Doors fans, that hardly constitutes a phase. I'm amazed that when it becomes popular to beat up on somebody, the masses just line up. I know virtually nothing about this woman. Neither do any of you. Yet, you all come down on her like she's the second coming of Hitler. Somebody wrote that she has nothing to offer. Perhaps she has something to offer those that are close to her like many of us who are not in the spotlight do. Somebody wrote that it would be blasphemous for her to acquire memorabilia. Why? Is it because she happened to have been born into wealth or that the cameras of the paparazzi are trained on her 24/7? What excludes her from being a Doors fan? Is it because she is perceived as being an airhead? I highly doubt that she is as stupid as her public persona suggests. More than likely it is an act. The public has a perception of her, and she is exploiting that. Paris has more than likely been manipulating the media and, in turn, the public, and she has been successful at it


Paris is just an example of young Hollywood at its worst. She's just one of many. That Lohan chick is another example. Having money is not really the issue here. She "flaunts" her wealth and feels that she is "above" the laws of society. There are plenty of examples of people who have money but they do not put themselves above everyone else. Those people I respect.


It is no different than the jerks who go out and dig up sacred Indian burial sites throughout America and then sell the historical artifacts they have stolen from our ancestors.

Paris can not be allowed to get ahold of Jim Morrison's 'golden microphone'


Artifacts are things that were actually used by Morrison or The Doors and played a part in the band's touring or song creation. Examples include: a container Morrison kept his heroin in, a hand written draft of 'Celebration of the Lizard', Jim's writing desk, a bottle of his booze.
