Posted: May 29, 2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 549 | Bookmark and Share

Paris Whitney Hilton was born February 17, 1981, to Richard Hilton and Kathy Richards. The oldest of four children, she is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune as well as to her father's real estate fortune.

Born in New York City, Hilton moved between several homes during her childhood, including Manhattan, Beverly Hills and the Hamptons. She attended high school in both California and New York, but dropped out and eventually earned her GED.

Hilton began modeling as a child, appearing in numerous ad campaigns, including Iceberg Vodka, GUESS, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Dior and Marciano. By the age of 19, she had developed a reputation as a socialite, and was often referred to as "New York's leading It Girl."

In 2003, just a week before her reality show The Simple Life premiered, a three-year-old homemade sex video of Hilton with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon surfaced. Hilton sued Salomon over the release of the tape, but eventually settled out of court. Meanwhile, The Simple Life premiered on December 2, 2003, and became a mid-season hit for Fox, fueled by the publicity of the sex tape. The show featured Hilton and Nicole Richie (Lionel Richie's adopted daughter) working at a variety of blue collar jobs and performing chores associated with farm life. Two more seasons followed, but the network decided to cancel prior to the 4th season due to a falling out between Hilton and Richie. E! Entertainment Television picked up the fourth season, with a fifth season beginning in May 2007.

    Television channels used to be limited to what was broadcast in your area. After a long day at work, you’d arrive home to the same options. First the evening news, then the top comedies or dramas of the season, which were followed by the nightly news and late night show. The schedule was easy to predict, but not very exciting. You could plan carefully not to miss the only comedy show you really liked, at 8pm on Friday nights.

    There are great deals offered to consumers by satellite television providers. The competitors appear to be locked in a never-ending competition to see who can offer more for the smallest price, locking customers into binding contracts that will ensure that they have their business secured. These deals that are offered are usually a steal for the customer, but each option should be carefully reviewed before making a decision to make sure the correct package is chosen.

    Many Americans have schedules that are too full and stay at work too late to be able to watch many of their favorite sports teams play in real time. Baseball games can start as early as 10 AM if you’re a Seattle Mariner’s fan and they are on the road playing the Yankees in the Bronx. Or even worse, if you’re a soccer fan and Liverpool is playing Barcelona in the middle of the night!

    If there is one thing that unites Americans, it is sports. Amidst a country of political divisions, diversity of opinions and backgrounds, where there always seems to be some altercation engrossing the public, and often dividing the public, we can always count on sports to make people forget their woes and unite around the common love of the game (minus the team rivalries, but that is more often than not a good natured division).

    Countless Americans wake up in the morning dreading the day ahead. Getting the kids to school, the morning commute on the congested freeway through town, reading depressing headlines, and making small talk at the water cooler. How many times can you hear Deborah talk about her wedding plans or Jim talk about his 1950s stamp collection? Not many, if you want to stay sane. But thankfully, looming in the near future, is the promise of your return home to your new flat screen HD TV.

    Now that the first decade of the 21st century has drawn to a close, it is time to ask, what were the five best TV shows of the decade? Obviously this is a controversial topic and no two people will have the same list. However, there is a legitimate argument to be made for each of the shows below, which all had at least one original airing between 2000-2009 (although the shows may have begun their run prior to 2000).
