<p>Paris Hilton is a public figure. She was not thrust into the public eye against her will. She is constantly putting herself out there - placing herself in front of the cameras at every opportunity. None of us knows very many, if any, public figures personally. But they are all fair game for public scrutiny and comment, be they politicians, celebrities, famous athletes, or talentless bimbos.</p>

<p>Ok you may think shes pretty; I don’t. My judging her attractiveness has nothing to do with her personal life; quite frankly, I could care less what she does or how she acts. In fact, in that respect shes kind of cool :-D. But I still don’t think she pretty. Thats not bashing her in any way just because I don’t know her personally. I could see a random girl on the street and think shes not pretty, but thats not based on what she does because I wouldn’t know…</p>

<p>;) yea. But I rather feel like I shouldn’t make such generalizations…well…actually if a generalization rings true en masse, then, there’s no harm in accepting it right? lolz.</p>

<p>Here’s a Crimson story on her visit to Harvard (which was yesterday). She says, “Harvard is hot.” <a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=521743[/url]”>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=521743&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>And a related story about her partying last night with “Grey Goose-swilling Harvard Lampoon and Final Club members.” She says “I’m from L.A., but people party harder here than in Los Angeles.” <a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=521744[/url]”>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=521744&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I do have to say that she looked very classy as she received her award.</p>

32

<p>I’m not really a fan, but I thought she looked pretty good too - and approached the whole event with good humor.</p>

<p>Here’s some coverage from the Boston Globe:</p>

<p>You’ve got to hand it to Harvard for its ability to draw in interesting guest speakers.</p>
