Hilton is in some senses a special case; she is famous at least in part for being an example of the perceived negative or shallow aspects of celebrity life, and some believe she is going out of her way to fill that role and gather further attention.

 Criticisms of The Da Vinci Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The book's claim of the Gospels being edited after the Nicine Council is demonstrably false since it would be impossible to track down the thousands of copies going around the Christian world (there was no "master registry" of Gospel manuscripts), and older pre-Nicene copies of the Gospels have been found which all match post-Nicene ones.
