• What the fizzle does hizack mizzle?
• Message left on lil jon's voicemail: Yeeeaaayah Message left on Anna Kournikova's voicemain: Yeaaayah
• What's the point of leaving messages for the people whose personal information has been so exposed? I mean, apart from punishing them for giving the skank their phone numbers, I mean.
• Wow, the networks must finally be watching the web a little more closely. This story was covered on the TODAY show this morning.
• I called up Bobby de Niro once. A similar incident to the Paris Hilton thing, except using a well-known exploit in paper-based technology: someone buggered off with Naomi Campbell's phone book. The numbers got dispersed through friends of friends, and I ended up with Bobby's. Got his voicemail a few times, never left a message - didn't quite know what to say. I'd actually been wanting him to pick up in person, so that I could ask if my mate Kevin was there, then blame it all on a wrong number. I got some respect in the office out of the whole affair, though. Now, of course, I'd probably just ask him why he keeps doing shit films and pissing his legacy away.
• Just when I thought Paris had reached maximum exposure overkill....
• That address book link no worky. New link?
• try this one or this one musingmelpomene. First link has more the second has prank mp3's, is withholding some photos and trying to make a buck off of it.
• beeza, I'm at work. The first one was NSFW enough that I'm not going to try looking at the second.
• They're all the same pics. I would be curious to know who that is she's making out with. She sure looks like Emma Watson from the Harry Potter movies, but... naaahhh... But anyway, something interesting occured to me when I was perusing the MeFi thread. Paris Hilton is quite possibly the most free person alive. She can do whatever she wants, at any time, with no reprocussions to speak of. Not just the obvious "heavy hand of authority" reprocussions, but also lesser ones like societal disapproval. Most people who act like asses in public become persona non grata quickly enough. But she hangs on. Society expects so little of her that, at this point, she can do absolutely anything she wants. And that's freedom. Further, isn't it interesting how every time she's about to fade out of the public eye, some new OMG SCANDAL involving her appears? You'd think she couldn't top the sex tape, but she keeps coming up with new ways to stay in the papers. Which makes me ponder... Is it possible for a complete moron to luck into this situation? And to continue to get into these "wacky" sitcom-like situations and keep getting out of them unscathed? Or is it possible she's actually a lot brighter than we think, and has constructed a persona specifically so that she never has to take responsibility for anything? The world may never know...
• I would be curious to know who that is she's making out with. She sure looks like Emma Watson from the Harry Potter movies, but... naaahhh... that's a guy...look at the hands...
• Or is it possible she's actually a lot brighter than we think... InnocentB, I've heard a similar argument used to describe a certain president of a certain global superpower. I didn't buy it then and I'm not buying it now. The greatest actor in the world could not portray the depth of dumbness shown by a person like Paris Hilton. All you have to do is look at her face to know that there ain't nothing going on behind the front desk, so to speak.
• poor thing, actually...every site everywhere keeps talking about paris making out with some girl...maybe now that hippie'll get a freakin' haircut....
• That's a guy? Really? *looks again* Uh... I don't know. You're right, those are pretty manly hands... but that's a girl's haircut. Not just long hippie hair. I mean, "he" has bangs. Weird. Yet it seems to fit. How could she top herself next? "Paris Hilton caught snogging with hot hermaphrodite!"
• You know, what may help her ability to emerge from anything unscathed is being filthy fucking rich. And I realized that I might be part of yet another publicity ploy by Ms. Hilton, but I didn't care if it got a few more prank calls to Christina Aguilara.
• musingmelpomene try this what amazes me is I haven't seen anyone screaming for T-Mobiles head. Nicolas Jacobsen was arrested in October for breaking into T-Mobiles service and hackers are still getting in? geez fire the IT department and then tar and feather them.
• JESUS GODDAM if only Paris was a little better connected I'd be arranging my first date with Katie Holmes right now /lives in a dream world
• Both main links work, but are insanely slow. Word is getting out, I guess, that the numbers really work. I saw this last night and thought, "Nah, those can't possibly be the real phone numbers."
• ...must...resist...temptation to...click...on this link...time wasting away on celebrity trivia...have better things to do with time...must..resist.... YEAGHHH! click, click, click, click.
• OW! watch it with that clicking...damn.
• ARGH. Are there no text lists of the numbers without incredibly NSFW banner ads or anything? Jesus. I went to the last one you suggested, beeza, and there was a "wide-open beaver" shot in the banner ad. Christ on a stick, the IT guys are gonna have my ass.
• Let's have a contest
• I don't know guys. Somebody hacked something, people are having to deal with pain in the ass phone calls and other people are making money off it. It just seems lame. I don't care who she is, or who her friends are; it's still a shitty thing to do.
• I am soooo glad that I don't own one of those phone numbers or e-mail addresses. They must all be having a very fucking bad day.
• "Cool" link!
• musingmelpomene - I almost did a spit-take when I read your post... it's been a long time since I've heard the phrase.
• Damn sexyrobot....that IS a man. I never would have noticed if you hadn't said something.
• sorry 'bout that, I run adblock and didn't see a thing so thought it was safe for work.
• Ms Man Hands aka Eggplant Dike Ass to Ms Hilton. God help me, why do I pay attention to such things?
• Which phrase? "wide-open beaver"? "Christ on a stick"? "IT guys are gonna have my ass"?
• Heh. It was the "wide-open beaver shot". Monkeyfilter: It was the wide-open beaver shot.
• Sigh. I keep hoping that the next time I read the name Paris (miserable, stupid, pointless famewhore) Hilton, it will be in her obituary. Oh well, here's hoping....
• coppermac, granted that she's an obnoxious rich spoiled brat, but still, why are you wishing for her death? She's still somebody's daughter. Would you want someone to wish death on your child because they don't like your child?
• She's still somebody's daughter. Would you want someone to wish death on your child because they don't like your child? I say... (mentally rolls dice) Yes.
• Rumour has it that Paris's Sidekick wasn't hacked: her "forgot my password" question was "What's your favourite pet's name?" And everyone apparently knows that she carries Tinkerbell everywhere. If true, the girl is not so smart.
• *nails Nickdanger voodoo doll to wall, whomps repeatedly with hammer*
• Monkeyfilter: fighting hyperbole with hyperbole since November 2003.
• We're all someone's son or daughter, Alnedra. Does that mean that none of us should die? Are you seriously advocating that someone who you acknowledge to be "an obnoxious rich spoiled brat" deserves anything more than utter contempt? As for her mother and father, if they raised her to be such a despicable creature, they deserve to suffer too. Talentless celebrities are miserable wastes of time and should vanish from the planet as quickly as possible.
• I draw a line between contempt and an actual desire to see another person die. Also, as obnoxious as she may be, what real harm has she done? She hasn't been the cause of the deaths of other people. There are people out there who truly deserve to die, perhaps several times over, but I don't think Paris Hilton is one of them. As for being a waste of time, I fully agree. But there are lots of others people and things which are wastes of time as well. Do you advocate that they should also vanish from the planet? Of the hundreds and thousands of book titles in a bookshop, most of them serve no other purpose than to entertain their readers for a few hours; the books were not written with any educational or social function in mind. They are considered "a waste of time" by many; so should all these books and their writers likewise be wiped out? I think what I'm trying to say is I ask you show a little more tolerance here, coppermac. Don't you hate people who are intolerant of gays, or are racist, or try to impose their religion on others? Why take on one of their characteristics?
• Student gets Paris Hilton's old cell phone. For months, Shira Barlow's cell phone was flooded with wrong-number calls and text messages, mostly between 2 and 4 a.m. on weekends. Told they had reached a college student, callers refused to believe it. "Baby girl, how are you?" one man purred in a foreign accent.
• "Baby girl, how are you?" one man purred "Meet me naked at midnight in the park!" she purred in reply. Oh, the possibilities.
