In 2006, the New York Post ran a front-page photo featuring three of the most famous women in modern history: Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan. In the Post’s signature headline style, bold white lettering succinctly summed up the lives of the women who were captured by paparazzi in the front seat of a car, fleeing a party: BIMBO SUMMIT.
In the original article, the Post calls the women the “three bimbos of the apocalypse.” “Bimbo” was used with vitriol at the time to point out that Spears was a bad mom who favored parties over her children and Lohan would take any opportunity to purposefully flash her lady bits for the paparazzi.
