Here at ATM, we’re not blind to the impact our words have on our reader(s). We know that when we say ‘jump’ you say ‘how high?’ (And if you don’t jump, we’ll send Chris Brown to go all Disturbia on your ass!) And one such jumping reader is Miss Paris Hilton.
Obviously a fan from way back, and not looking to be outdone by her former bestie Kim Kardashian, Hilton read that we were late comers to the Twilight trend and decided to join us on the already-departed-from-the-station-bandwagon. Hilton commented earlier today that she “just saw Twilight for the first time, and I have to say that I think Rob [Pattinson] is a beautiful man and an amazing actor. He’s fabulous!” (If we’re being honest here, we only agree with half of that sentiment. He is indeed beautiful, but the second half of the statement says something about Hilton’s own acting abilities. See: The Hottie and the Nottie.)
Paris, who prefers to start trends rather than follow them (don’t lie, you know you had t-shirts made with your own face on them as soon as she started rocking her self-promoting tees), hadn’t thought to become a Twilighter, claiming she didn’t get the hubbub surrounding the pop culture phenomenon. (To be fair, we feel the same way about her.)
Lucky for her, we at ATM like to talk about Twilight. A lot. (You probably hadn’t noticed.) And we peaked her interest: “Now I understand all the hype,” she said, obvi referring to our writings. “I just didn’t get it before, but now it all makes sense.”
Never a literaphile, Hilton opted to skip reading the books in favor of only seeing the film…most likely to play the Twilight drinking game. (We have a feeling Brandon Davis has seen the movie that way about a thousand times at this point.) So Paris, we salute you as our Awesome Reader of the Week. And we ask that you take our advice one more time and read the books. Especially New Moon. There’s open casting in Canada as we speak, and while you’ve missed out on your chance to play Rosalie (an inspired casting idea in our humble opinion), we think you would make a FABULOUS Gianna. Especially now that Steph Meyer has come out and said that Gianna didn’t survive to become one of the Volturi guard and instead was used to “sustain them.” Maybe you could take Mischa Barton with you.
