Clint Eastwood blasts Paris

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Clint Eastwood has blasted Paris Hilton for being "famous for no reason".

The legendary actor - whose film career spans over four decades - says, unlike today, only true talents were granted celebrity status when he first started out.

He said: "When I was young, movie stars who were celebrities were just a handful. Now everybody is a star so you have to make superstars. Stars are just heiresses, like Paris Hilton."

The Oscar winner - who examines hero worship and celebrity in his new film 'Flags of Our Fathers', a World War II epic - insists only the most extraordinary people were considered heroes in his youth.

Clint, 79, said: "Today everyone is considered a hero. In the 40s heroes were people who committed extraordinary feats. Things are very different now."

The screen icon named former US President Dwight Eisenhower and late actor Gary Cooper as his biggest heroes.

Extraordinary feats like walking to school barefoot in the snow, right?

STFU, grandpa.

You made me expectorate little pieces of fun-size Butterfinger all over.

He has a point... It's like singers who want to be actors and people with money who want to be stars. They use whatever influence they have to bully their way on the scene and fight like hell to stay in the limelight. They are all HAMS but it's cool. To each his or her own... I'm content with being the man in the background making things happen...

He makes a very good point. I'm tired of seeing Paris Hilton's talentless face smeared all over the newspaper everyday. You open it up -- BAM! -- there she is, page 2, saying or doing something stupid and not news-worthy.

isn't it true that all of her movies together have made LESS money than her porn?
