A: Paris Hilton has a job. Love her "product" or hate it, she has enough of an audience that she hosted Saturday Night Live. The woman is gainfully employed.

At least one of the Bush twins has a job -- she's a public school teacher in DC. Hard job, trust me.

Also, while I support the anti-drunk-driving message, this is gross. They should have just made an anonymous victim, not violated the privacy of a real person.

I hope she has a security detail.

thank you for setting me straight. indeed, a quick google and the washington post sez both twins are involved in education. Jenna is a teacher. Barbara.. ?? i couldn't tell. all this active contribution to society must be due to Laura's influence.

I agree that teaching children is a tough job. Don't believe i could do it.

Paris Hilton does have a fan base. i don't understand it either, but then, i never understood what kept Madonna on stage thru the '80's, either.

if you don't have a base for your fans, they will become mini indoor airboats and trash your decoration.

So does Anna Nicole Smith and she's dead, for cryin' out loud.

I agree it's gross, but privacy? Paris Hilton voluntarily surrendered her privacy years ago.

(And teaching public school isn't nearly as difficult when you have a pair of heavily armed Secret Service agents in the classroom with you

If you mean the sex tape, I don't think it was her choice to release that to the public -- in fact, I think she sued over it.

And despite what you may have heard, kids here in DC do not all come to school with Uzis. The challenge is dealing with misplaced funding, the beyond-disorganized city council, and the fact that kids growing up in the inner city haven't necessarily seen any evidence that education will get them anywhere. I'm not sure how much having Secret Service agents will help with that.

Well, she made quite a bit of money off of it, but claimed not to keep any of it. I think the lawsuit was a publicity stunt--the tape is distributed by a major company, and is legal as far as the industry is concerned.

But then we wouldn't be talking about the sculpture.
