Why are They Famous Again?

I have truly wondered why it is exactly that people such as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are famous?After discussing the lectures, I have realized that they are people who have been ascribed their fame. Kim and Paris both come from very wealthy families that have social networks and connections to wealthy people and celebrities. Their family wealth made it possible for them to attain celebrity status. Neither of these women have attributed anything to society that would lead to fame. They do not have a particular skill or talent either that have made them acquire celebrity status, such as Derrick Rose. These ascribed celebrities tend to be the ones who annoy me because they are always show on television and magazines in some ridiculous situations spending millions of dollars. Seems like a waste of wealth and fame if you ask me.
