Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Paris Hilton??
Yes, you heard us right. The socialite is one of the greatest inventors of all time… or so she says!
On Sunday, The Simple Life star made an explosive claim on Twitter that she and Britney Spears invented the selfie more than a decade ago!

Sadly, not everyone is buying Miz Hilton’s story. Some believe the originator of the selfie was Madonna, some say Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in Thelma & Louise, and others say it’s some random dude from 1910!

History is so hot!
LOLz, obviously Paris wasn’t the first to take a photo of her self — but was she even the one to popularize it? Let us know who YOU think invented the selfie (below)!
