Connecting Paris Hilton and Hunter S. Thompson



Paris Hilton American media personality and socialite
She first attracted tabloid attention in the late 1990s, when she became a fixture in NYC's social scene, and ventured into modeling at age 19, signing with Donald Trump's agency Trump Model Management.
The family's social circle included figures such as Lionel Richie, Donald Trump, and Michael Jackson.
Inspired by designers Patricia Field and Betsey Johnson, Hilton decided to pursue modeling, signing with Donald Trump's agency, T Management, at age 19.
A combination of what has been described as "vulgar Trump-era exhibitionism and ''Girls Gone Wild'' antics" led publications such as ''Hamptons'', '' The New Yorker'', and particularly '' The New York Post'', to often feature Hilton in their social columns.

Donald Trump
Before and throughout his presidency, Trump has promoted numerous conspiracy theories, including Obama birtherism, the Clinton Body Count theory, QAnon, the Global warming hoax theory, Trump Tower wiretapping allegations, a John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory involving Rafael Cruz, linking talk show host Joe Scarborough to the death of a staffer, alleged foul-play in the death of Antonin Scalia, alleged Ukrainian interference in U.S. elections, and that Osama bin Laden was alive and Obama and Biden had members of Navy SEAL Team 6 killed.

QAnon
They also see Trump as the only person fighting this criminal network. Added to this is the belief that politicians and Hollywood elites engage in "adrenochrome harvesting", in which adrenalin is extracted from children's blood to produce the psychoactive drug adrenochrome.{{efn|Adrenochrome has become the subject of a number of myths since Hunter S. Thompson mentioned it in his 1971 book ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas''.}} This comprises claims that children are tortured, or sacrificed in Satanic rituals, to harvest the adrenaline that comes from fear.

According to Pew Research Center, roughly a third of Americans (34%) followed news about Hilton very or fairly closely, with public interest in her surpassing that in the 2008 presidential campaign, The G8 summit, and talks between George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin.

George W. Bush
In polling conducted January 9–11, 2009, his final job approval rating by Gallup was 34 percent, which placed him on par with Jimmy Carter and Harry S. Truman, the other presidents whose final Gallup ratings measured in the low 30s (Richard Nixon's final Gallup approval rating was even lower, at 24 percent).

Richard Nixon
Hunter S. Thompson wrote a scathing piece denouncing Nixon for '' Rolling Stone'', entitled "He Was a Crook" (which also appeared a month later in ''The Atlantic'').

That year, Hilton launched her tenth fragrance, Tease, which was inspired by Marilyn Monroe, a footwear line in Las Vegas, and her motorcycle racing team in Spain. Her driver, Maverick Viñales, won the final race and finished third overall in the 2011 125cc Grand Prix motorcycle racing championship.

Marilyn Monroe
In the following decades, several conspiracy theories, including murder and accidental overdose, have been introduced to contradict suicide as the cause of Monroe's death. The speculation that Monroe had been murdered first gained mainstream attention with the publication of Norman Mailer's '' Marilyn: A Biography'' in 1973, and in the following years became widespread enough for the Los Angeles County District AttorneyJohn Van de Kamp to conduct a "threshold investigation" in 1982 to see whether a criminal investigation should be opened.{{sfnm|1a1=Spoto|1y=2001|1pp=605–606|2a1=Churchwell|2y=2004|2pp=88, 300}} No evidence of foul play was found.

Norman Mailer American writer (1923–2007)
Mailer is considered an innovator of "creative non-fiction" or "New Journalism", along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, a genre which uses the style and devices of literary fiction in factual journalism.
