She sure thinks so. Ms Hilton was promoting her single and in the latest interview she compares herself to Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe. I guess it's good to be confident. Here are two of my favorite quotes from London Sunday Times"
“Because there’s nobody in the world like me,” she says, smiling lazily. “I think every decade has an iconic blonde — like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana — and right now, I’m that icon.”
...“I read these stories about me starting fights and saying stupid stuff. I’ve become a cartoon. Nobody seems to get that how I am on The Simple Life is a character. I even know what a Wal-Mart is (on the show, she asked: ‘Do they, like, make walls there?’). I play dumb like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we’re doing. We’re smart blondes.”
She also talks about the sex tape, Stavros thinking Lindsay is "pathetic," and her ex-BFF Nicole. Oh Paris, you never cease to amaze us.

first?
1she's not stick thin anymore
2I read this on perezhilton, there's a lot more quotes, it's funny
NEVER will Paris be like Marilyn or even come close to how beautiful or how great of a person Princess Diana was.
3Somebody should have slapped this b*tch for comparing herself to Lady Di or Marilyn. She is not a icon, just a slut who makes bad movies and even worse music and an even crappier sex tape. Go away Paris-ite and stop trying to boost your career with lies to shock us.
4she drives me nuts!
5Being first is not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be.
Unfortunately what she says is true she is becoming an icon (shudder) she won't be as memorable as Marilyn but something about her makes ppl pay attention.
For all those people that are bopping along to her "music" cause it's "catchy" (retch)they are making her an icon. Giving her any sort of attention is making her stick around. It our own fault we have loved to hate her right to the top
6It's sad but it is somehow true IMO. The first decade of the new century is past halfway and all we hear about is Paris Hilton's movies, music, hook-ups and break-ups, her fake blue eyes, her dumb quotes, etc. However I wouldn't call her an icon...more like an annoying trend that doesn't want to go away...
7what's really an icon?
8It's sad but everybody know who is paris Hilton
i love you paris hilton.
9Does people thinking your a tastless slut make you an Icon?? hmmm
10I agree Shiloh but she isnt as great as she thinks and I wish she would go away!
11I think she needs to go back to being stick thin. She's the only Pop Icon that can get away with it. LOL
12K-Fed is an icon too then because both are known for being people we hate. He should compare himself to Ghandi or Winston churchhill tomorrow.
13i think paris is soo cool and stylish. i love her and her show,i've never heard her music and the house of wax is like my favorite movie. i love her attitude its soo lade back...
14Oxmomoxo, you must be a teenager.
15i was watching a dating show the other day and there was this 20 some year old woman and she said her icon was Paris! Poor thing.
16I actually think I like her better than Nicole Richie, but this is a little ridiculous. Haha she is in no way like Maralyn Monroe or Princess Diana and never will be. Sounds like she is just a little too full of herself.
17oxmomox-
18I'm actually a teenager and I don't idolize anybody like that
In 50 years, people will still be talking about Di and Marilyn, but I don't think people will still be talking about Paris. Will she someday be the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question? Possibly. Will she someday be an example of a person who has contributed something to the world? I think not.
19no, she's not lady di. but i think she could be compared to marilyn. i know i'm gonna get skewered again for saying this but i don't think marilyn had much going on other than her looks. i borrowed some movies with her in it so i could say i saw her act and i give her C-. i borrowed a cd with her singing and i just couldn't do that.
paris and marilyn are both pretty blondes.
20UGHHH she just irritates me to no end - and this little "I'm so great, everyone loves me" set of quotes just made it worse.
*shudder*
21OMFG! What the hell? She's a complete joke. Marilyn and Di are rolling over in their graves at that comparison! She is certainly nowhere near the likes of Marilyn or Di, or even ELVIRA!
22hahahahaha!! That's the funniest stuff I've ever heard. Her = Marilyn and Princess Di.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
23I can't believe she would EVER compare herself to Princess Diana. Thats just ridiculous and disgusting.
24Silly slut! She gets my vote for worlds biggest ego- ever! I guess she thinks coz she 'sang' Happy birthday to Hugh Hefner that's she's like Marylin Monroe. Newsflash Paris, Hef is no JFK! As for the Diana reference, I don't possibly see what she could have in common with her besides hair-colour!
25What a spoiled little ignorant brat. She is the furthest thing from an icon. She needs a wake-up call from her la la land.
26Somebody , please slap this b*tch!
Has she ever heard of the word "humble"?
The first thing that comes into mind when I think of Paris is "slut"
The nerve of her to even say these things. The only part I agree with is that there is nobody like her, the rest is just funny, and the most narccistic thing I ever heard
27what an ego.
28YUCK! Hate her. She is not an icon if people look up to her for NO REASON! the people (or, children) who may look up to her are idiots whose parents are stupid. She is so full of herself it is sickening.
29And what's with that pigeon-toed stance!!?!?!? She looks f***ing retarded.
30shes so full of herself
31Unfortunately I agree with the posters that said Paris wasn't totally off. EVERYBODY all over the world knows who Paris Hilton is ( young people atleast) and isn't that part of being an Icon ? Then again...almost all of the celebrities are known world wide and that doesn't make them Icons. Mhhh, I'm confusing myself. Oh well, whatever, who cares anyway ! I think we need a definition of the word ' Icon '
32Yes, I agree with u Eurogirl, unfortunately she is an icon, just a very bad one and nothing like Marilyn or Princess Di!
33At least her hair is looking better these days.
34Extensions, JK boogie. At least someone put them in correctly and made sure they look good. Note to Ken Peeves and whomever does Pam Anderson's weave.
35Her clothes are really fugly in this pic. And the shoes!!?!? They are fug too. All her clothes lately have the really high belt thing. Maybe she is getting fat.
36she is an icon, much like jenna jameson
37She could be preggers, she is looking bigger and she has a more healthy glow, but for the sake of humankind I hope not. Can you imagine her as someone's mother, she'll make Britney Spears look like Clare Huxtable.
38Whoever said she wasn't off about Marilyn -- Paris isn't even pretty. She has had a lot of surgery and wears a lot of makeup, but that doesn't make you pretty. Also, MM had good comic timing, whatever you say about her acting in general.
Can we have Christina Aguilera for an icon, please? I'd really, really prefer that, and I'm not even a big Christina fan.
39eww xtina as an icon. no thank you.
40The sad thing is, she is huge in other countries, partly because she markets herself as if WE like her here. Any poll I ever see, she is the most HATED and OVEREXPOSED celeb, so I am not quite sure where she gets her stats about here in the states.
41@Caligirl1201 : LOL, Actually I don't think so, I've seen Paris's publicist do miracles. Doesn't matter what sh^t she's in, he seems to know how to spin it around to where Paris comes away smelling like a rose(Car accident) or is seen as the victim (sextape). I'm sure he can deal with all the impending baby disasters she'll cause !
42Mar, I hate to say it but alot of overseas people will buy anthing if someone with blonde hair and blue eyes endorses it because through years of self hate and Aaryan superiority, they have come to believe that looking like that is better. I wish Paris-ite would go away. Lady Di helped people and left a legacy to the world all Paris has left is crappy entertainment and a line of men with Herpes.
43the only people who LOVE her are japanese people to my knowledge.
44and you'd think that people who made such fab food and electronics would have better taste
45EP, they also invented Pokemon and buy JC Chavez music. One of my BFF's is Japanese and she is mortified when she goes to Tokyo, every time it's a new trend. They are back to Hello Kitty right now, grown women should not be wearing Hello Kitty bookbags in public, it makes the skinny thing jean look right.
46still don't like her*
47pokemon was marketing genius frankly. american children LOVED it.
as for hello kitty, that needs to stop. forever.
48HAHA Princess Diana plz never princess Diana wasn't a slut and if she was she kept it under wraps...*hint**hint* something paris should try to do.
49fashiondiva, she tries. she's got lots more tapes. we've only seen a sliver of her gross self
