(CBS) Paris Hilton walked out of a television interview after being asked if she worried her time in the spotlight had passed.

The socialite/TV personality was in the middle of an interview with ABC News correspondent Dan Harris when he asked if she has been eclipsed by other reality stars.

Harris asked, "Do you worry at times that the people who have followed in your footsteps, like Kim Kardashian, have overshadowed you?"

"No, not at all," she replied.

Harris mentioned Hilton's reality show, "The World According to Paris," has received poor ratings, prompting him to ask whether she worries if her "moment has passed."

Hilton looked off-camera at her publicist before walking off. She can be heard off-camera saying "I don't want this being used," according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.

She eventually came back to finish the interview, stating, "I've been doing this for 15 years now, so it's been a long time. So just like any other business person or someone in the industry, it's always important to reinvent yourself and come up with new projects."

What a waste of space both she AND her successor Kim Kardashian have been! And Lindsay Lohan and Britney aren't that much better!!

Paris is too old now to pull off the vapid party girl image - I'm not sure who that ever appealed to in the first place, but she's what, 29 or 30 years old now? Everybody's married by that age, and looking to start a family - not still hitting the clubs every weekend.

I hope her time really has passed - better late than never. And please take Kim Kardashian with you!!

If you don't have anything nice to say...don't say it at all. So, I guess I won't say anything. Yep, that says it all.

Doing what for 15 years? Posing on the red carpet for no apparent reason? Making bad sex tapes? Flaunting her wealth and lack of talent?

Reinvent herself? I hope in the next go-around she's a nun
