Plus, she wants to kick it all in the bucket now, according to press reports (Barbara Walters phone interview).
I can completely understand that.
Currently, she's in a bad situation, and even if she apparently has plans to increase her charity efforts, I can see her concentrating on her business career, after this ordeal is over. If the work environment is right, then work can even be a great stress reliever. If people don't understand her and her motives, she should withdraw all those activities that would bring her media attention. Perhaps she even told her talent agency goodbye herself, and the media made it appear like she was dropped. She can also operate charities without being personally involved too often (people like Bill Gates are doing it like that -- how many people know that Bill Gates is a great sponsor of charities?).
Being labelled a "socialite" by the media is a big insult to her, since it implies that all she does is socializing. But that's not true. She told Letterman a year ago, that she only rarely gets around to hang out in clubs anymore. And of course she's maturing, and people expect her to busy herself with so-called "mature" activities.
Being a so-called "mature" person myself, I notice all the expectations that are thrown at people my age, and I guess I have to comply. I'll be 40 in 3 years, so I'm not supposed to behave like a kid anymore. But I'd lie if I'd tell you there's no space for that anymore. We all have our "child" side and carry it around with us all the time. So, I think Paris doesn't deserve to get **** for that.
Do you know what the saddest thing is? When I was in America a number of times, I noticed how the term "adult movies" was associated with porn. So, when we're adults, all that is expected from us is to work, have sex, have children, and die?
