Paris Hilton thinks people should earn their fame?

Came across this interview with Paris Hilton in which she apparently slams David and Victoria Beckham for not having earned their fame:

"The media is fawning like they're superstars, but they haven't actually done anything," Hilton said... "We demand that celebrities earn their place amongst our nation's entertainment elite, rather than have it handed to them on a silver platter. The sense of entitlement that Beck and Posh display frankly disgusts me."
I can't work out whether this is a) completely made up b) Paris Hilton being cleverly ironic or c) Paris Hilton being serious. Any ideas?

She is either uproariously funny or hilariously dumb, either way it's win-win for us... the audience.

Edit: I should of said heirreously funny but alas the time is gone.

I can't tell with that. I'd like to think it's made up, or ironic. She can't really be as thick as two short planks can she?

Awww, come on. She's, like, totally changed and stuff.

Forgive and forget.

I think that sounds like a made up statement, the way it is written sounds too professional for her.

Also, apparently she 'earns' 100 million these days -

"The hotel heiress claims she rakes in the enormous sum from a variety of business ventures, including her own hotel chain, perfume range and personalised merchandise, and by charging massive fees for personal appearances.

She said: "I've made $100 million in the last year, while Jennifer Lopez made $75 million.

"I'm developing my own hotels, casinos and clubs and getting into real estate. It's crazy at such a young age. I'm doing so much."

Paris' inheritance from her family and the Hilton hotel chain is worth around $25 million, while she earns $8 million a year for her role in US TV show 'The Simple Life', in which she stars with friend Nicole Richie. The 26-year-old socialite's perfume and jewellery collection brought in $1 million each last year, while she collected $10 million for personal appearances. Paris can charge $50,000 a time just for showing up at her favourite haunts and is once believed to have been paid $673,000 to wave to a crowd in Australia for 20 minutes.

Her book, 'Confessions of an Heiress', and debut pop album, 'Paris', further boosted her earnings, as did a stuffed version of her pet dog Tinkerbell and advertisements for Dream Catcher hair extensions. She even pockets money from the slogan "That's Hot!" after trademarking her favourite exclamation.

Paris also collects an estimated $2 million a year from the infamous sex tape, 'One Night In Paris', she made with ex-lover Rick Salomon.

The blonde dropped a lawsuit against him in return for half of the profits made from sales.
