Do you hate it when people ride the coattails of others? I do! Or should I say, I did. After I started thinking about it, I realized that everyone is always saying life is all about the associations you create with others. So where do you draw the line between mooching and networking?
- Hillary Clinton didn’t sever ties with Bill (despite his ability to have sex without having “sex”).
- George W. Bush didn’t change his last name and burn all his birth certificates.
- Paris Hilton would have nothing if the Hilton Paris was never built.
- Kobe Bryant rode Shaq’s extra-long coattails to three NBA Championships.
- And Ben Affleck held on to Matt Damon’s hand as long as he possibly could.
So, as always, the real question is,
how do you feel? Have you gotten where you are today by shoveling your own coal,
digging your own ditches, and weeding your own garden? Or did your mom do your
homework for you, your dad give you a summer job, joined a fraternity or
sorority in college, and now work for your smarter, better-looking best-friend?
Hey, I’m not ragging on it, if my best-friend from high school became a successful movie star in Hollywood you better believe I’d be out there
swimming in his mansion’s pool and drinking his Bud Light. But just because
your last name is Williams, Jones, Miller or Smith doesn’t mean you can the next anchor on NBC’s Nightly News, an
adventurous archaeologist in a temple of doom, start your own beer brewing
company, or flash your blonde hair and oversized bosoms and get a ring from a
rich old oil tycoon.

Greetings Listers!
Doesn’t it seem like celebrities are screwing up every day? We all know about Paris Hilton, but that was just the “Celebrity Screw-up Kick-off Event.”
Lindsay Lohan has fallen off the wagon, and then climbed back on only to nosedive off again. Now she’s been arrested for a DUI and cocaine possession.
Britney Spears shaved her head and attacked a paparazzi’s car with an umbrella.
NFL quarterback Michael Vick continues to get in trouble. This time however, it’s unlikely he will avoid the sack.
In the NBA, a referee, Tim Donaghy, has been exposed for working with organized crime to affect the outcome of games.
Before all this drama, there was actress Winona Ryder, who stole more than $5,500 worth of merchandise from Beverly Hills Saks.
The NBA Lakers Kobe Bryant was accused of rape. O.J. Simpson was accused of murder. And three Duke University lacrosse players were also accused of rape.
Because of the attitudes and personalities that celebrities develop, the gross amount of money they make, and the viral interest in their lives, these poor decisions are never going to stop. So the real question is, who is next?
Greetings Listers!

ListAfterList.com is a place to express YOUR opinions, memories and expertise. On any wiki list, all you have to do is click the yellow “Add To This Wiki” button, type in your thoughts, and click the “Add to List” button.

For instance, what is your opinion on cigarettes? The latest statistics revealed that nearly 1 in 4 people in the United States smoke cigarettes, so odds are some of you have a favorite cigarette that isn’t on this list?
Or maybe you prefer being creatively imaginative? Well pretend you are the nation’s most empowered sheriff... who would you throw in jail? (besides Paris Hilton)
I know you all have memories. And I am sure you were all alive in 2001, so where were you when you heard about the terrorist attacks on the world trade center? Or if you are an old fart, where were you when JFK was shot?
I realize you’re not all doctors, but if you are, and you have a funny story, add it to this list of hilarious stories from real doctors. Or share your expert knowledge on cancer.

Paris' "Complaints from the Jail Cell" Paris Hilton entered jail on June 4th and was released 3 days later, and is now being ordered back to jail! She has been complaining and crying the whole time. Check out her incarceration issues so far.

Says her cell is "freezing cold," having three little blankets and no pillow and is using one of the blankets as a pillow.
2.
The room is bright and jail noise echoes through her space.
3.
Says she has no appetite and has eaten almost nothing (she missed lunch her first day).

She wouldn't touch her state-issued hot dog Tuesday night
