Pay-Per Tweet

[Paris Hilton got diamonds for Christmas. Paris didn't say what type of diamonds, but boyfriend Doug Reinhardt delivered them. Paris must have been a good girl because she got to open her presents early on Christmas Eve. How nice to post on Twitter you got diamonds. Let's invite more burglars in to your home to pick off those pieces! Hello, think before you post!]

And more from Paris herself, via Twitter:

[At home opening Christmas presents from my man. SO happy! He really spoiled me this year and gave me so many incredible presents! :) All the jewelry he bought me from 14 Karats Jewelry Store is so stunning! It's true Diamonds are a girl's best friend. I am speechless.]

I buy that Paris received diamonds for Christmas - what I don't believe is the fact that Doug actually bought them for her. What makes the story suspect, other than the obvious money issue, is the specific mention of the store where the jewelry was supposedly purchased. Methinks Hilton may have received the sparklers in exchange for a little promotion. What adds weight to my theory? Hilton's former pal and current nemesis, Kim Kardashian, is also Tweeting for cash.

[Do you know PRNewser? They are a company that is paid to talk about other companies. Put out press releases and that kind of thing. Anyway, they did a press release for one of their clients, Ad.ly, and they interviewed the co-founder. Well, Ad.ly is known for bringing advertisers and celebrity Twitter posters together. He let it slip in the interview that Kim Kardashian gets $10,000 per Tweet and that she does one ad Tweet a day. Seriously? That many people want to buy what she buys? She does have 2M followers, but $50K a week? For just saying stupid crap like go buy a pair of shoes at such and such a place. So lets see 140 characters times 5 is what? 700 characters a week and she makes more than 90% of teachers do in a year. Why? Because she made a sex tape.
While I admit she is attractive, she has no discernible talent. She doesn't sing or act or do anything that contributes positively to society. She has no athletic prowess. She has not invented anything. Yet, she makes over $2M a year just by posting one Tweet a day. I really need to f**k Ray J.]

It's clear that the route to the big bucks is a sex tape, a nominal education and breasts. Who says women are discriminated against?
