This has to be one of the silliest things Helen has ever said - the machine of the law has completed its cycle and justice has been done within the remit of the judicial process - whatever we feel or think about it.
Wouldn't it be hysterical if HC was charged with contempt of court? -
At the risk of revealing my kryptomisogyny again (again mea culpa, I'm inclined to be flip) - judging from NW and Who, a lot of men have found Ms Hilton 'ahem' accessible over the years. But really, what teenager could financially afford to have La Paris as a role model. Having taught a number of girls in their late teens and early 20s, the general reponse is that Paris is a skank and not remotely cool.

Oooh, I love this game - it's like planning my civil union.
I intend a full Catholic high requiem mass at the Sacred Hear Basilica in Timaru. Lillies and roses, purple and pall. Music: Weiss' tombeau comte de logy, Barber's Agnus Dei (which is just a choral version of the Adaggio) and (just cos I'm tacky) the Lloyd Webber Pie Jesu.Although, if I ws going to be silly, my black crepe draped coffin will be born aloft by six bodybuilders painted gold while a couple of page boys drop rose petals before, to the Imperial March from Star Wars. Then I'll be put in the ground to "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" from the Wizard of Oz, until the hidden bomb detonates taking out all the people who have just come to make sure I'm dead.

OK, poor choice of words on my part, mea culpa.
And I don't think one should ever try to read anything into what a teenager says or how they act as being indicative of what they think. Teenagers habitually lie to keep their secrets or to appear cooler to their friends - paricularly teens from large urban centres who model themselves on Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton (shudder).
Pebbles not plastered on the mags? hello? She's got her own column with her mother in Canvas where she dispenses particularly vapid and bitchy "advice". Categorically Fashion is for people with no style. She's had plenty of mag covers I can assure you. Admittedly, she seems to be a bit more functional than superbrat Millie Holmes.

I have never never said that "women are the authors of their own misfortune" - I was noting the irony that some women who consider themselves to be acting from a feminist position (ie. the editors of a wide range of womens magazines) are in fact supporting a system that functions in a particularly contrary way.
-
All right, admittedly I am being deliberately obtuse, but neither can you say that Feminism is a philisophical and ideological consensus
-
And I bet you ten to one that many of those editors would consider themselves as coming from a feminist perogative.
-
It is rather curious that feminism still largely blames men for everything, and yet womens magazines (surely an Orwellian plot to confuse, intellectually retard and give eating dissorders, the women of the west) are all edited by dumdum__dah!!!__ the fairer sex!
