Celebrity Scandal!
Paris Hilton funny joke about Lindsay Lohan not PC for celebrity friends?
[May 7]
Reality television star Paris Hilton has officially said she is sorry about joking publicly about convicted criminal Lindsay Lohan and her… ummm… lack of judgement about the best kind of luxury items to steal while shoplifting. The celebrity socialite apologized to Lindsay Lohan via Twitter after making what some thought were humorous comments about the Disney Princess’ now notorious jewelry theft case. The funniest part of her public apology? In a preview of her new reality show The World According to Paris, Hilton was mistaken for Lohan when giving earrings to a homeless woman, claims Socialite Life, showing how any publicity in Hollywood social circles can be bad or good. In this case the cloud of non-PC jokes has been overshadowed by the silver lining that Paris Hilton slamming Lindsay Lohan in jest actually helped promote her new reality series.
So what did Paris Hilton say about Lindsay Lohan that deserved an apology, and why were her remarks offensive rather than funny?
Socialite Life writes:
The socialite quipped: “If I were Lindsay, I would be stealing earrings… not giving them away.”
Lohan is currently involved in an ongoing court case after being accused of stealing a necklace from LA boutique Kamofie & Company.
According to celebrity gossip website TMZ, a hurt and embarrassed Lindsay Lohan told other more sympathetic celebrity friends:
“[Paris] is mean. You don’t have to make fun of serious matters in people’s lives to be funny.”
