Last week when I did a comic about The Hottie and The Nottie, I spoke about not wanting to give too much attention to the film based on it’s horrid premise and the fact that Paris Hilton was its star. But when I read this article with a box office recap for the weekend, I had to gloat a little bit.
I suppose I made it a little bit personal by taking shots at Hilton for her plastic surgery over the years, but she’s done such a terrible job lying about it in interviews, I found the irony delicious. How can someone like Hilton who is so ugly on the inside and who still looks like a drugged ostrich to this day make any commentary on what is or is not “hot.” It’s laughable.
I brought this up in the comments section of last Wednesday’s LiveJournal comic feed, in addition to being the “star” of the picture, Hilton was also executive producer. You get the sense that she thought this movie might improve the public’s perception of her. “Look, I’m helping out ugly people? Aren’t I great?!” while at the same time standing over co-star Christine Lakin in the make-up chair saying “More! More!” as they slathered on layer after layer of “ugly” make-up. Why Lakin agreed to the role is beyond me.
At any rate, that’s pretty much all I have to say about things. Again, I don’t want to lend to much credibility to the film. Just looking for an opportunity to take a cheap shot, I guess.
