Paris Hilton—the woman, the myth, the legend—just gave an interview in which she unabashedly and casually took credit for just about everything you/your faves are into, and frankly she deserves all the:
The heiress had a lot to tell W Magazine about the fact that every other celebrity/human has been copying her style:
First of all, Kim didn't invent selfies. PARIS DID:
"If a beeper had a camera, I would have taken a selfie with it. I think I have a selfie from when I was a little kid, like on a disposable camera."
And, if she's honest, she's responsible for celebrities in general:
"We started a whole new genre of celebrity that no one had ever seen before. Nowadays, I feel like it's so easy becoming famous. Anybody with a phone can do it."
And also fashion:
"To now see things on the runway, and to see girls wearing things that I used to wear is really cool because nobody really dressed like me back in the day."
And also, good reality TV:
"Nowadays, everything is just so scripted and fake. Everything is planned out. There's nothing real, really. I'm glad that I did it in the beginning when it was organic and fun."
Also, in other news, Paris lives life in a virtual reality (amazing):
"I'm obsessed with gadgets," she said. "I could do VR for hours; it's so sick. When you put it on, it's like you're in another world. And when you take it off, it's weird to be back in reality."
