One of the themes in this website is "Appearances can be deceiving." In one blog I wrote about the deceptive appearance of President John F. Kennedy. In my last blog I tried to show (and explain to a degree), Paris Hilton's "Barbie" doll phase. We'll look at a number of statements excerpted from a Harper's Bazaar magazine article below. Then you can have a go at sorting out what's going on with Hilton whose autobiography, Paris, The Memoir, came out in March of this year. Is … [Read more...]
Paris Hilton – the First Human Barbie?
It's no surprise that Margot Robbie is playing the first human Barbie in her new movie. Her looks and stature make her a natural to portray Mattel's doll introduced in 1959. But Paris Hilton, too, can resemble the most famous toy of all. And so Paris may've beaten Margot to the punch as the first human Barbie. But wait. We must suspend belief to buy into Barbie becoming human in Robbie's new movie. Likewise, we've got to swallow hard to believe whether Paris was really "human" in her Barbie … [Read more...]
Again, Baldwin and Armorer named in ‘Rust’ legal case.
I recently posted my skepticism about whether justice would be served in the settlement Alec Baldwin made with Halyna Hutchins husband and son. The deal, valid in its provision for support of her son, seemed odd since it also allow Baldwin and other financiers to resume shooting of 'Rust."Apparently renowned lawyer Gloria Allred agrees. She just announced that she's filed a lawsuit on behalf of the late Ms Hutchins' sister and her parents in Ukraine. Baldwin and Armorer named in 'Rust' … [Read more...]
Psychopaths in C-Suites Thrive
Nine years ago, author and psychologist Fred Kiel reported on his research about psychopaths in leadership positions at a Tedx Talk. Psychopaths in C-Suites Kiel titled his talk, "Psychos in the C-Suite." The term C-suite usually refers to a company's top management positions, where the C stands for "Chief," O for Officer). Various chief officers (e.g., CExecutiveO, CInformationO, CFinancialO, etc.) occupy the C-suite. Kiel and others suggest C-suites are overpopulated with … [Read more...]
The Tinder Swindler – a male Anna Sorokin?
This website is about justice and equity, and so today it's about the Tinder Swindler. It's only fair that I give equal time to a male who's similar to fraudster Anna Sorokin whom I've blogged about here and elsewhere. I have less info about the the Tinder Swindler —Netflix's name for him— than I did about Sorokin, so I promise to add second blog soon about another male who preys financially on women, the Casanova Scammer. And in order not to discriminate visually as well, I'll … [Read more...]
Is socialite fraudster Sorokin still a con artist?
I've written about Anna Sorokin as well as other imposters and con artists here. And I've also written about innumerable psychopaths on this website. Is Anna Sorokin a psychopath? Here's the question needing to be addressed right off if you want a quick answer to whether Sorokin is still a con artist: Is she a psychopath? I'm not sure if she is. However, she's likely a type from the three inter-related Triad diagnoses which includes - narcissists, Machiavellians (manipulators), … [Read more...]
Celeb arrest & release weakens Justice System’s credibility
When we watch TV, go to the movies, or attend concerts (admittedly before Covid), we enjoy watching our favorite stars. But despite being role models for millions, celebrities sometimes break the law. The justice system's credibility then takes a hit when it all too often looks the other way. Of course, stars weaken the justice system's credibility because of their talent, charm, good looks, or wealth which shines so bright it often dazzles judges and juries. When judges and … [Read more...]
