Kilmer blasts 'fame for nothing' syndrome

Hollywood hunk Val Kilmer has criticised the media fascination with Paris Hilton, because he believes the socialite is "famous for nothing".

The hotel heiress found international fame in late 2003 after a sex tape featuring her and ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon was leaked onto the internet and has since starred in reality TV show The Simple Life, enjoyed roles in Hollywood movies, written a book and released a fragrance.
