Paris Hilton
On the ninth place of our ranking is located Paris Hilton who spent her majority with a whole extravaganza of parties, the famous cougar and her boyfriend, as well as all of the guests kept moving from New York to los Angeles, and from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, from which they moved to Tokyo and Paris. Such a multi day trip has cost Paris, seventy five thousands of dollars on each guest. Paris was born in February 1981, in the family of Rick and Kathy Hilton. She is the granddaughter of Conrad Hilton who is the founder of Hilton Hotels. Paris is the elder child in the family; she has a younger sister Nicky Hilton and two brothers Barron Hilton and Conrad Hilton.
Her childhood she spent in various places, in the hotel Waldorf- Astoria on Manhattan which is considered the New York home of the family, or in Beverly Hills, or in Hampton. Paris went to Dwight School in New York, from which she was expelled due to bad behavior, though later she still received a high school diploma. Though Paris was literally born in a golden cradle, still she was always interested to do something on her own, this way in 2000 she signed a contract with Trump Modeling Agency and this way became a professional model, later she worked with other modeling agencies, and during her carrier she presented a variety of fashion houses, and appeared on a lot covers of famous magazines.
Lindsay Lohan
The tenth and last place in our rating is occupied by the girl with “thirty three disasters” Lindsay Lohan. On her twentieth birthday Lindsay has invited a famous chef Kerry Simon who cooked a gourmet dinner for all of her guests. The party which was held in Malibu, to which were invited only the closest friends of the star cost her one hundred of thousands dollars. Though her carrier has started pretty fast, and was very successful, it was not meant for her to keep it this way, as she started going out with bad company, so as a result the good girl has gone bad. Lately Lindsay Lohan has become a part of various rehab centers on a constant basis, because it is pretty obvious that she cannot deal on her own with all the bad things that are happening to her, so each time she is not successful in her attempts to do something, she falls into depression and starts abusing alcohol or drugs, and as a result gets into another rehab center, till “next time”. Her family is being there for her, and they are trying to help her with anything they can, but doctors say that Lindsay will be able to overcome all of her problems only in the moment than she will want that, and not a day earlier.
I am wondering who can ever doubt that the famous, for her very bad and nasty character top model would throw a great party on her birthday. Of course no one! Especially considering the fact that till not too long time ago she was dating with a Russian billionaire Doronin, who was doing anything for her, but unfortunately her crazy character has done its main purpose, and it made him turn his back on her as well, even though he really tried, and for a few years he really was tolerating her character, as well as cleaning up all the mess she was doing. Well I guess some things just cannot be changed, and as a matter of fact I don’t even think they are supposed to, not in Naomi Campbell’s case for sure.
I think the “star” of all the possible gossips and rumors Paris Hilton, cannot be forgotten in the rating of the greatest birthday parties, as the crucial thing about it is not the birthday itself, but the word party! Paris Hilton is one of the girls who would never calm down, and keep partying till the rest of her life, and it really is a shame, as I am sure all of her family already dreams about the time when she will bring a man into their house and present him as her future husband, I think they do not really care already how rich he will be, and what is his family about, as Paris with her lifestyle is a dark spot in the biography of the famous Hilton family.
Actually I should say that I feel very sad for Lindsay Lohan, as her love towards the parties and various addictions has brought her to the situation with dead end, where she is not able to deal with her own life, and realize what the things that she wants from her life are. She tries getting back to normal, and to the point where she was a star and everybody loved the cute red haired girl in the movies, but with every new scandal or rumor she appears in, she gets farer and farer away from her dream. This is the opposite side effect of abusing drugs; the worst thing is that people who tried them at least once have changed their life for good.
