Paris wants to shed her party-girl image

Yep.  That's the word on the street.

"There are a lot of bad people in L.A. Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties — it was a fantasy," she tells Newsweek magazine in its Oct. 22 issue, now on newsstands. "But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world." (From a yahoo news report).

That's one way to handle it.... blame it on all the bad, bad people in LA.  Play the victim.  It's not like you had anything at ALL to do with cultivating that persona, eh, Paris?  (Ahem, anyone remember the whole "Firecrotch" incident with Brandon Davis and Paris.  And um, how about the fact that she started a celeb trend of not wearing undies and letting her yoo-hoo be photographed?  Blame THAT on those LA meanies too!)

Actually, it's not implausible at all that she might pull it off.  I wouldn't be surprised if she's able to generate enough buzz and become the poster child for being a good role model. And if she does....well, cool.

I just think it's amusing that things can get so turned inside out, and the people we vilify in the media one minute might suddenly be held up as a great example.

Let's watch this one closely, shall we?!

Yeah I really have doubts about Paris, Lindsay, and Britney. And you're so right, they do play the victim and blame it on "evil Hollywood." I wish for once that these girls would just stand up and say, "You know what, I'm made a LOT of mistakes. But they were my doing. I was dumb but I really do want to change. But don't just take my word for it, watch me." It would be nice.
