It's no secret that everyone loves to poke fun at Paris Hilton, including the heiress herself. In an interview with Nylon magazine she said: "I’m smart and I know what’s going on. I can laugh at myself; I’m in on the joke. I know what you guys think of me, and I’m going to play into it and make you laugh at the same time." Do you agree with Paris that she is in on the joke about herself?

jeez i think this chick is so pathetic. why does everyone say she's pretty? i dont see it with her long nose and lazt eye?!
1you mean the joke about how horrible her extensions have ALWAYS looked? all that money and she can't afford decent fake hair.
2She's said some things in the past that make me think she's a little sharper than she'd like to let on.
3She makes me laugh...I even go to hysterics.LOL!!
4Well these are good pictures of her. As for being in on the joke, maybe she should try to actually clean up her image. A "BFF" show on MTV isn't helping matters. She's getting too old to be acting like a teeny-bopper still.
5she is not funny! she is pathetic!
6If she REALLY knew what people think of her, she wouldn't play into it, which convinces me she doesn't entirely get it.
But researchers have found that dumb people don't know how dumb they are. Most people are working to the best of their mental ability, whatever level that is. Or in other words, ignorance really is bliss.
7"dumb people don't know how dumb they are"
LMAO Ginger
8i cant stand paris isnt time for her to grow up and get a life i am tired of seeing her everywhere she needs to follow in nicoles steps
9I know know why, but I think she really does know what's up.
10I think she's aware that she's a joke but not really in on it or know the extent of how much of a joke she is.
11plus, She's not really a pretty girl. she's just has attractive things about her like being tall, thin, etc.
i believe that she really is that stupid. thats not act. she is so gross and i wish she would go away.
12If you want look stupid in front of everyone then you are stupid, this girl acts like a 14 years old, and she is almost 30, give me a break.
13I think she needs to say she gets it, otherwise she looks even more stupid.
14She's totally in on the joke. She's dumb like a fox!! Lurvs her.
15Yes, it is the age old 'dumb blonde' approach that works when done well.
16She owns the people that do not see this.
I wonder how she does it with wearing contacts all the time. I wear contacts and I cant deal with them for longer than a few hours.
17Depends. Is she initiating the joke? Or responding to it?
Personally, I think to allow your life's legacy to be an ongoing joke and for you to initiate it is the biggest joke played on you itself.
But then I don't live the kind of lifestyle where's there's much to make a joke of... I myself can be pretty comical as to how I respond to it.
I really don't think Paris has any choice but to say this...to save face. Otherwise she'd have to admit she serves no other purpose other than the village idiot.
18maybe. i feel like she's a really smart business woman out of the spotlight since she's got all these different projects in the mix. i'm sure that there's a large part of what she does that's an act...but i guess only those who really know her know to what extent
19I think it would be pathetic if she really was playing into it. Like, you value yourself that little that you'll act like a fool to make a buck. That's sad. Like, nobody takes her seriously, she acts like a child, and the whole things a joke? Well, have fun having your whole life be a joke. :/
20She likes to think that her "projects" are things not just anybody could do, but frankly they are. I think if one has the right people working with them and helping them promote themselves, then one can appear smarter and more accomplished that one really is.
In other words, without all the resources her money makes available to her, she wouldn't be special at all.
21GOD, a single cell amoeba has more brains than this woman!
What is she talking about-"I'm in on the joke"- she is the bloody joke!
ARGH.....
22She may not be a complete moron, but I would never, ever call her smart.
23Honestly- if I had that much money and my own show I wouldn't care too much what people were saying about me.
24Yes, she is in on the joke and she is laughing all the way to the bank. She made 7 millions last year, she is not dumb.
25Gorg.
26Nope. Otherwise, she'd have been funny when she was on Letterman...instead of pouting. She's an idiot. Plain & simple.
27I concur with the majority here, she's not very bright. She doesn't even have a high school education. While there are people who posses intellect without the benefit of a formal education, Paris is not one of them.
The common markers that identify intelligence include the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend situations, learn from experience and apply all that to perform better in ones own environment. If Paris had that, there wouldn't have been a sex tape or time in jail, or the staged public falling out with friends, numerous engagements, etc.
28she's an idiot and i refuse to believe otherwise. Benji probably has to explain to her with puppets how dumb everyone actually thinks she is.
jackass.
29if she knows people think she a stupid hieress dat can't do anything then y doesn't she stop
30lol daria
31i think she knows to an extent, but she doesn't know how serious people are haha
32still annoying to me , pffffff
33Does no one here realize that her apparent stupidity is part of her persona as a celebrity? She may not be super intelligent, but for her to stop acting the way she has been would be to take away all the reasons that people follow her in the magazines, make fun of her, etc.
It's her ditziness that makes her remarkable to the masses. Again, she's probably not REAL smart, but I'm sure she's far more intelligent than she appears and KNOWS that letting on how smart she is would take her out of the public eye pretty quickly.
34I think she knows "what we all think" AND she is so deluded that she doesn't understand that it's out of sheer amusement people pay her mind.
35Another thing.It's interesting how quick people are to talk negatively about her, be it how conceited or uneducated she is. I don't see anyone here running a multimillion dollar corporation where their face is their product. Regardless of her lineage giving her a head start, people are WILLING TO KEEP PAYING. She must be doing something right.
36Did people not see her response to the McCain campaign add against her? She uses her ditzy persona to highlight how even someone who is allegedly "dumb" like her GETS the REAL ISSUES way better than one of our candidates. She is in on the joke. No doubt.
37I think she is, because she's not even a good enough actress to play the dumb blonde role well!! She's just too annoying anyway and should go elsewhere.
38She acts too ridiculous to not be playing along with everyone
39Ugly b*tch!
40Yet another blonde making TENS of MILLIONS a year off the Bimbo Act, shes totally in on the joke... Think Marilyn Monroe, Pam Anderson, and in a sense Jessica Simpson. Even if they aren't that smart, they are smart enough to surround themselves with people who will make them a ton of money. She has made herself a brand, which takes a lot more work and intelligence than your average person.
41After having a cool cover subject last month, Zooey Deschanel, Nylon has to crap it out with her.
42The pic on the left looks like she is in some sexual position and of course she knows it. She is kind of like Pam Anderson. Knows she is pretty and not the smartest tease on the planet. Be nice about her nose. Long sharp noses are beautiful. That is a weird transition for Nylon.
43No matter what, if you're someone in your late 20s and still acting like you're in your teens, doesn't strike me as very smart
44She doesn't seem bright - I do think there are a lot of bright people on her publicity team though.
I much rather be a private citizen then the a complete joke in the public eye. Anyway that wants to appear stupid is stupid. I'd rather my dignity than Balenciaga handbags. The people that look up to her and buy her merchandise are usually kids. She's doesn't seem to care that's promoting the dumb slutty blonde image to the next generation as long as she keeps getting those massive paychecks.
45can't stand her
46I think she def has never intended for anyone to take her seriously.
I think she's the one who is having the last laugh...all the way to the bank.
47She definitely knows what she's doing.
48Every "stupid" thing she says or does earns her more notoriety and more money, and she knows it.
In the 2nd photo.... it look like shes taking it in the bbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuttttttttt.
49lets say that she is on it for the sake of argument.why would she do that? how did it start? i don't like anyone enjoys letting people think they are stupid when they're not.and they definitely wouldn't let it go on for so long.
