I wonder if his daughter Nicki Hilton is named after the Nicosia, Cyprus Hilton.

Their web page says: "Hilton Cyprus is the only five-star hotel in Nicosia. All 298 rooms offer private balcony. Our Executive Rooms are larger than our Guest Rooms, ...."

I wonder if each room comes with a video camera with night vision capability.

Flashback to the a scene from the past:

"Paris," Mr. Hilton said, proudly repeating his newborn daughter's name for the rest of the board members to hear. "I'm naming her Paris Hilton. The name speaks of originality and class."

"But sir," they interjected, "You still haven't told us what to call our new hotel in France--"

"Paris!" Mr. Hilton answered. "Paris Hilton. The name speaks of originality and class."

Hey, actually, Hilton is HIS last name, and he named her after a CITY. Ironically, FranceS.... you could be a distant cousin... think, Paris, France'S capital. :-)

Paris Hilton is a fine example of what you get when a rich business mogul thinks it's mighty classy to name his daughter after a product.

Thanks. Come again!

Great comment, spared. Loved the puns. I agree, Madonna has real media substance, Paris is media abuse. OK, just trying a stretch of a pun there. It is pretty ironic to see Playboy doing a nude pictorial of a Paris Hilton LOOKALIKE, when in fact there's far more explicit Paris Hilton video and imagery available online. BUT, you do have to give Paris Hilton credit for putting her money where her mouth is, cashing in every chip, milking it to the last drop.... ok, enough with the bad puns....

With so many bimbo icons, how can you pick her as the top-seeded player, pardon the pun. Madonna can re-brand because for whatever her flaws, there is substance to her - she is made of many ingredients. She can bake herself into many types of cakes for mass consumption. Paris is more of a single ingredient kinda girl. I won't mention which ingredient I'm thinking of.

Imran, it also appears that I wrote at too great a length and my post/comment was cut off....

Can you add the scintillatingly exciting climax to my earlier attempted post? Thanks -

Tell me then, what is Islam's claim on Jerusalem? I know in Lebanon there
is a Green Line - which as I understand it is the line that divides the
cultivated and profitable lands from those that have been laid waste or
unworked by people who did not invest of themselves in it, for whatever
their reasons or rationalizations. Did the Arab peoples occupying the
Levant make it bloom like a rose? Perhaps I am reading "Westernized"
historical texts? To defend my background, I am well familiar with the
architectural marvels of the amazing underground culverts that carried
water many miles across the lands....and all the things that made the
Islamic culture the leading in the world....for awhile. For whatever
reason - clan in-fighting, politics, I don't know, but like many
civilizations, it waned and was overtaken by others who built upon
many of Islam's innovations. But where the "holiness" and "right" to
lands in Jerusalem? Lands have either gone to those they were given,
to those that were stronger, or in Biblical language, "to the profitable
servant."

I am not going into the treatment of Palestinians - while there have been
bad things on both sides, it seems in granting the Palestinians willing to
live in Israel with the right to vote and such, they are/were living and
being given more respect in Israel than by the rest of their Arab brother
who refuse them anything but indentured servant status in their lands.

Not meaning to sling arrows - I just want to know what the Islamic claim
is on temple mount. As you can tell, if it is based solely on a dream, or
the blood spilt there in the years between the tearing down of the Hebrew's
temple and the scattering of the last two tribes, and the return of the
Israeli state in 1948, then I am not likely to buy the justification. I
have no trouble with the peoples sharing the area, but like Mecca and Qom,
Muslims have trouble with that.

JFK once said, "We cannot negotiate with people who say, 'What's mine is mine.
And what's yours is negotiable." That is where Yassir Arafat led his people
wrong. He was given innumberable chances to share and find peace. He wanted
it all. While I have sympathy for the Arab peoples who have suffered under
tyrants and despots, I am trying to develop that same sympathy for them collectively
in not rejecting them much earlier in their histories.
