Las Vegas journalist Robin Leach defends Paris Hilton

Las Vegas journalist Robin Leach recently said in an interview:

“I happen to adore Paris Hilton. I find it absolutely remarkable that this little girl that I knew when she was 13 years of age eating in Le Cirque in New York with Kathy and Rick has grown up and has managed to stay at the top of the most bizarre game in the world for 12 years! It’s unfair that people try to knock her off the pedestal or criticize. She’s the brightest, sharpest light bulb in the box… She’s transcended celebrity into mogul and still retained celebrity. And the Kardashians are running fleet of foot to catch up.”

He is absolutely right! Kim Kardashian has managed to copy everything Paris has done! Reality shows, books, fragrances, clothing lines..etc.

Robin has it right.

Paris Hilton will always be interesting.

She will still be around long after most of her detractors have fallen by the wayside.

Good for Paris!
