My only comment on The Simple Life is that even in full makeup and couture (as opposed to, say, videotaped in an unflattering position using the "night vision" feature of an off-the-shelf camcorder) Paris Hilton is almost painfully unattractive. Much too thin and blonde.

I should also point out that so far as teenage hotel heiresses are concerned, Liesel Matthews, star of A Little Princess and heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, is everything that Paris Hilton isn't: talented, smart, undeniably beautiful, and a billionaire, at least if her multibillion-dollar lawsuit against her own family is a success. (Paris Hilton's own net worth, by contrast, is a paltry $30 million at most.)
