Who on earth is Paris Hilton?

I know, I know, she's been to jail for a couple of days and then showed up on Larry King. But checking the German media, even they are full with her escapades. Why do people get so infatuated with people like her? I have nothing against her in particular, but has she done anything good for the country or the people? Has she negotiated a peace deal and diminished suffering someplace? Is she at least an evil person? I just don't get it.
