Paris Hilton may not be a slut, but...

So for the record, Paris Hilton has stated that she is not stupid, or a slut. She felt compelled to mention this before the MTV premiere of a documentary on her life hits the airwaves in a few days. I suppose that answers that.

But having read her response, and the fact that she claims that the image the public has of her being a rich, bratty, idiot is all an act, I thought a comment was necessary. I can use a quote one of my oldest friends once said (not sure if he made it up or heard it somewhere) that I have never forgotten

“You may not be a ho. But you are in the clothes of a ho, you act like a ho. So you can understand if I am confused and treat you like a ho.”

Paris Hilton acts like a slut. She acts like an idiot. In fact if this is just a marketing scheme the woman needs to be provided an Oscar. If this is an act, then why the hell did she not use all this massively incredible skill in any movie which she has appeared in?

As I recall, the coverage of her arrest and imprisonment all stemmed from a single act. Hilton was so incapable of normal responsibilities that she failed to heed the notice of suspension of her driver’s license that was in the glove box of her car when she was arrested. So either that was a brilliant plan to drum up media coverage of her flippant disregard of the law, and the excess of her wealth trying to abuse the legal system, or she is just too dumb to drive.

Look there are just too many reasons why this extremely skinny, extremely spoiled, extremely lucky heiress can be called slut, idiot, airhead, fool, brat, and insignificant. And I can only think of 1 reason why she would like to change that image (reality). The trust fund that ensures she never needs to work or live in the real world, can be taken away if the family get upset enough. In fact, such rumors were swirling just before Hilton stopped being the tabloid pin-up girl about 1 or 2 years ago as I recall.

Perhaps jail brought a dose of reality to Hilton. Perhaps the fear of losing more money than some countries GDP sobered up her actions. Or perhaps this is an elaborate marketing trick to make her popular, again (for whatever reason find her interesting in the first place). Whatever it may be, the end result is the same.

Paris Hilton ‘wears the clothes’, and has the mannerisms of a prostitute. She appears to be about as business minded and intellectual as a crackhead (and to me a similar figure). She has almost as much acting ability as the former Taco Bell Chihuahua. But if I am mistaken, you can understand why.

And what in the world justifies a documentary on Paris Hilton? Beyond having a sex tape, going to jail because of her own stupidity, and having been the progeny of a very blue-blood lineage, there is nothing interesting about her. It might just be me, but Anna Nicole Smith contributed more to the world, and will have a more lasting effect than Hilton. The standards at MTV really have just gone to ground.

Fast Food: Some choices are healthier than you think

There is no end to the surveys, studies and pundits that mention men don’t see doctors or get annual physical exams. Recently there was a June 2007 survey by the American Academy of Family Physicians that showed that while 79% of men said they were in good health, 42% were diagnosed with chronic conditions. Obviously waiting for unbearable pain or illness to motivate a trip to the doctor is not a good idea.

But what can be done in the meantime? How can you keep your health up, and be motivated to live better? And how can you keep from going to the local fast food restaurant, which everyone knows is bad for you but tastes so good.

Well there might be a bit of help found in the question of fast food. A recent article I just ran across deals directly with the restaurants and foods that we love to consume. And the results are surprising. It seems that not everything you though was good for you is, and some are better choices than what’s been often lamented.

Now some things are obvious. Like the Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing. The number 1 worst fast food in America. Not that you would be surprised. Also on the no surprise list are Bob Evans Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes or Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger among others.

But also in the Top 20 worst foods are Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce, Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger, and On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef. Each of these trying to lure in consumers with the notion that they are “health” because of what they are comprised of or their name. A salad, chicken and turkey burgers all sound healthy, but that isn’t necessarily so.

There are quite a few “healthy” foods that just don’t make the grade. Take yogurt with fruit on the bottom, granola bars, chicken caesar salad, and the oft mentioned bran muffin. Each of them just aren’t what they are cracked up to be.

So now that you know a few of the bad choices and some of the hidden unhealthy choices that are presented as good for you; the question is who is the best and worst?

Well topping the very best fast food restaurants to eat at are Chick-Fil-A, Boston Market, and the favorite of Jared – Subway.The worst? Macaroni Grill is hands down at the bottom of the list. Only slightly better is Pizza Hut. And believe it or not the middle ground is held by (in order of best to worst) Taco Bell, Wendy’s, McDonalds, KFC and Burger King.

There is much more on the good and bad fast food out their. I’ve only scratched the surface of the full article. If you want to see how everyone really breaks down, and what is definitely bad and what the health nuts claim is good but isn’t, check out http://www.menshealth.com/eatthis/index.html

Until your next annual physical (which you need to go to) this might help a little. Still a few push-ups won’t hurt either.
