There are certainly moments when we wish we never again had to write about Paris' birthday parties, kinkajou attacks, or petty feuds. Apparently, we're not the only ones. Recently the Associated Press got so sick of writing about the heiress that they banned her completely from the newswire. In a Feb. 13th email that leaked out, entertainment editor Jesse Washington told his coworkers:
“Next week the print team is planning an unconventional experiment: We are NOT going to cover Paris Hilton.
“Barring any major, major news, we are not going to put a single word about Paris on the wire,” the memo continued. “If something does come up, big or small, we encourage discussions on whether we should write about it.”
“Hopefully we will be able to discuss what ‘news’ we missed...the repercussions of our blackout for AP both editorially and business-wise, and most importantly the force that cause the world to be fixated on this person who, despite her shallow frivolity, represents an epochal development in our culture.”
Obviously the boycott didn't last very long. They were forced to give up their dreams of a Paris-free press when she was arrested for driving without a license this week. We admire their concerted effort, but when Paris has brushes with the law, you certainly don't want to be the one news source not covering it! Maybe next week, guys!

What's up with this outfit???
1Is she trying to look like Jessica Simpson in that first pic?
I hope that she'll get to do community service - girl needs a reality check!
Whoa...awful dress! Yuck!
2wow finally
3and wtf is she wearing?
Good call, LadyCopenhagen. I thought she looked like she was trying to be Jessica Simpson, too.
4she looks like a cartoon

5Actually, the dress would be cute if she didn't have the shirt on underneath.
6I think they should have held out. I mean with all the blogs out there, by the time they report it it's old news anyway.
7Shi, doesn't she look like a cross between a hooker Snow-White and Minnie Mouse?
8That outfit is right out of Disneyland.
9Is this her I am cute and demure attempt? Honey..your cat is out of the bag!! Way out.. around the world and back again. Let it go. Go peddle that sh*t elsewhere.

Beware of the Green Umbrella..it attacks paps without warning!
Homegirl needs jail time, wake up to the world of reality Paris!
11Ugh, this dress makes me a little sick and Paris makes me a LOT sick, come on AP, you can do it! Let's make a pact Sugar... we can ALL Boycott Paris Hilton next week. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
12let's hear it for jesse washington! "shallow frivolity" bahahaha! i love that
13Why are all of you talking about her outfit instead of saying how fantastic it is that something as large as the AP is trying to get rid of Paris and report on actual NEWS? I would love to see all of the blogs, newswires, etc. go totally black and get rid of her for good. I think it's crazy that we read about someone on a daily basis because she's wearing something ugly, has lost her dog, is wearing no underwear or is drinking and driving. She contributes NOTHING else of value to this world. I'm all for lots of celebrity gossip...but at least the majority of it is about people who actually work for a living.
14she looks hideous!
15Are polka dots dead yet?!
16I agree 1000% with missyjq! I couldn't of said it better myself!
17Oh Snap! I wish pop would ban her from this site. Who's with me?!?!?!
18_________________________
Cheese It!!
ashley,
wouldn't hurt my feelings any!
19I dig the clothes. Very 60's retro.
20That outfit is HIDEOUS!!!!!!!!
21I feel bad for AP. If it had worked, gosh that would have been lovely.
i'm obviously all for it! BAN HER! for those of you who enjoy reading about her...give it a week, i promise you won't miss her...there's nothing of substance to miss!
22she totally looks like a tranny in the 2nd picture...
23Snow White, anyone? Yuck! She's so gross, I can't stand her.
24That is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile!!!!
25ooohhhhhhhhhhhh NO she diunt~
wtf is up with those glasses? They completely overwhelm her overinflated head. I hope the AP continues the Paris blackout b/c I am so over hearing how her heiress life is just *so* hard. Jump into the orange jumpsuit sister and do time for your misbehavior just like the rest of us. And as for the Simple Life making her more humble - ha! Someone would have to explain humility to her before she even knew she lacked it.
26Can Parisite be banned from EVERYWHERE????? She wears the most hideous clothes and is completely useless.
27OMG OMG OMG I just had a thought, Paris in an orange jump suit picking up trash by the side of highway. Ya think the AP would report on that??
28I would PAY to see Paris in an orange jumpsuit picking up trash on the side of the road. It would be freaking hilarious!
29OMG her model
80'th years 4ever and ever...i hate her 
30Okay - whatever about her outfit in this pic. That's besides the point of the article and she looks heinous most of the time anyways.
Fact is AP should have been tried a little harder.
Oh well, I'll give them an "A" for effort.
**Dreaming of a Paris-Free World**
31she looks so stupid here, ansd what is up with her skin color? CHEESY!!!!!!!
32why cant she go away....
33Whoa, what is that fug dress? It looks like one of the bad finds at Forever 21.
34Aw, man, I LOVE her outfit from head to toe!!! But it looks like I'm the only one.
I think it's awesome that someone is taking a stand against her and boycotting her.
35MAN HANDS!
36She can't wear an orange jumpsuit, it would clash with her skin!!!
37fug outfit...she looks like an overtanned granny from the 60's!
38OH...and YEAH! Ban this !@#$%$$^^! sorry excuse of a human being!
39Paris is a tool. Everyone should ban her. She is a complete waste of space.
40Good. I think they're realizing that no one cares about her at all. This outfit is just as stupid as she is.
41HA!
42i think she look great
43LOL, her hand looks giant compared to the rest of her in that second picture!
The problem with a Paris blackout is, if Paris knows about the ban, there's no way she's not going to do something really big to make them report on her anyway & ruin their ban. Good try though, and it's pretty funny!
44She looks like a tweeked out Jessica Simpson!
45Ugh. A for effort, AP. I applaude you.
I'm sick of this woman. She needs a reality check.
All she's good for is ... wait, let me rephrase that. All she can do is contribute to the world's problems.
I say she's a complete waste of genetic material.
And, I have to say, wtf is up with that outfit? All those sunglasses do is add to her already giant, square-shaped head.
