Effervescence

Effervescence
"Paris' name has become synonymous with everything that is wrong with celebrity."
"And yet ...
... meet her in the flesh, and it's virtually impossible not to like — even adore — Paris." ...
"It's clear that Paris has been schooled in the art of being public. ...
She responds to questions with simple one-sentence declaratives. ..."
"One thing is certain: Paris Whitney Hilton is almost more of a mood than a person. She's the distillation of pure charisma and desire, of what French sociologist Emil Durkheim defined as 'effervescence' — the intense force that excites us and binds us together as a group during religious festivals (and football games)."
"Fizz." ...
"She is famous for being famous, charisma without content, bottled and sold by movie producers, perfumers, promoters and journalists."
